Were you mine? Show up
Phill sat in Lea's cabin. " She is in her first trimester but we will do a detailed ultrasound later when she regains consciousness." He had personally talked with the gynecologist assigned to her. Her phone was in his hand. He had taken it from the concerned department which had the rest of whatever was found on her body. The phone was still switched off. Phill looked at his own reflection, repeatedly on the screen before finally making his mind up and turning the phone on. He had to immediately turn the volume off because her phone's speaker began blasting the room with constant, incoming notifications. " As expected! " Phill retorted. " This was a bad idea. " He murmured after looking at Jake's messages -" LEA WHERE ARE YOU? "" LEA CALL ME BACK? "" LEA I CAN EXPLAIN. "" LEA I AM SORRY, COME BACK. "Phill couldn't read till the end of it. He switched the phone off and slid it inside his pocket. Just then he noticed Lea's fingers moving. He ran up beside her, checking if all
Were you mine? Compulsion
Phill's POV" Doctor Rodgers? " The police extended his hand to shake my hand as soon as I entered. " How's everything at home, son? How is your mother? "It was none other than the superintendent of the police and behind him, stood the loser actor. " All good! " I kept it as brief as I could. My mother's acquaintances always irritated me. " I believe, you might already know the reason for my visit? " He asked. " I am sorry but I don't. " I wasn't going to give Lea away so easily this time. I mean how could I, after seeing the state she was in, because of that irresponsible rockstar. " Umm, well. You happen to be treating this young man's girlfriend I presume? " He turned towards Jake but the loser looked around at the other people who were there standing in the room. After which, to my utter surprise, he uttered, " Friend, not girlfriend. "I wanted to smack his face and paint that pretty face of his with some red. After getting her pregnant, ( I had no doubt in my mind that
Were you mine? That night
" Jake , you simply cannot take a day off. This is the final sketch before the last day of shoot. You need to come for practice. "Rosa was short of yelling on the other side as Jake hung up. He had locked himself up in his apartment and refused to go to work. He was still standing in front of the mirror in the washroom. The water that he had splashed on his face for the hundredth of time, took its sweet time dripping down his neck. He looked at broad shoulders. The scratch marks from Rosa's nails, still looked fresh and prominent. His eyes looked red as they kept glaring at his own face. He tried to focus on what he was doing. But the images from that night were still vague. How much alcohol could make him loose his rationale? He thought his alcohol tolerance was good. He couldn't even remember drinking past that one glass. He immediately picked up his phone and called Rosa back. " Hello Jake! So you finally decided to come, didn't you?" Her voice was cheerful this time from
Were you mine? Good news
Phill's POVLea was finally up. She was sitting right in front of me. Her vitals were looking good but she did not look alive. She looked like a statue, sitting there, staring at the wall in front of her. I gathered my courage and finally walked up to her. " Feeling good? " I asked, despite knowing the answer too well. She looked at me and forced a smile. I sat down beside her and held her hand. She was taken aback at my gesture." Is everything alright,Doctor? " She asked me, surprised. I nodded. " You suffered multiple fractures. They will take time to heal. It's a miracle you survived to be honest and so did the baby."Her expression changed from surprised to confused to anxious within the fraction of a second. " Baby? " She asked as the machines started beeping with the alarming increase in her heartbeat. I held her hand tighter. " Lea, calm down. It's alright. I thought you knew about your pregnancy. I thought you were worried about your child. That's why I broke the
Were you mine? Guilt trip
Lea's POVJake was sitting right in front of me.He sat there silently with my hand in his hand and his head hung low, staring at the floor. Even though there was physical contact between the two of us, it suddenly started to feel like we were miles apart. He was aggressively trying to apologize but after my refutation, he simply gave up. Quite unexpectedly and suddenly. He was zoning out. But I did not have any idea what to make of his behavior. I was exhausted. My body and mind were not in sync. My skin was already rejoicing at the touch of his skin but something inside me, told me that Jake was not the same. " May be you should go home and rest. " I finally told him because it seemed like he was unable to utter amy thing. I did not want things to be any more complicated than it already was. " You want me to go home? " He asked without even looking up. " Yes, Jakey... " I paused short of a smile. Calling him Jakey was like my happy pill but something told me, I wasn't doing
Were you mine? A loan proposal
Phill's POVIt was way beyond my duty hours. It was the dead of the night. I had come back to check on Lea before going back home. Thank goodness that I did. "Lea? " I did not have to go to her cabin to find her. I found her limping with her drip and cast and everything, at the corner of the hall, overlooking the French window. " What are you doing here?How did you... nurse?? "She looked at me with anger filled in her eyes. " Can I not be left alone for sometimes? "Her eyes were red and her hair was a mess. " Of course you can. Lea, you can do whatever you want. But your bones still need time and rest. Your drip line is completely tangled. You got blood flowing into your IV line. Let me help you, Lea. I promise I will not disappoint or disrespect you. I will be right here to help you with your choice. "I cautiously approached her. She looked extremely vulnerable. "GO AWAY! I don't need anybody's fake promises. I just want to die, alright. I don't want any of your sympathy.
Were you mine? The Rodgers
Meanwhile at the Rodgers' mansion -" Mama! It means so much to me! How could you hide that letter from me? It's a good thing that they thought of using my alternate number. You were keeping a tag on my phone and my computer? Am I your daughter or a prisoner in this house? "Mercy erupted like a volcano when she learnt that her mother had been personally keeping her away from her dreams. " Do you have any idea how many people struggle to get a contract from that brand? " She was fuming. But her mother did not lose her calm even for the split of a second. She elegantly put her tea down and went behind the drawers and fetched some papers, throwing them on Mercy's face. " Did you forget, little girl,that you are not 'everyone'. I could make you a shareholder in that brand if it means so much to you. But modeling for them is like giving your precious body to them as a clothes hanger. You are my only daughter. You share my last name. You need to always be mindful of that fact. You can'
Were you mine? Guests
Ting Tong! Ting Tong Ting Tong! Phill looked puzzled as the bell went berserk. He rarely had any visitors if not none , that too in the middle of the night, when he already had someone over. Lea looked at him with her question filled eyes as she held the files in her hand. Phill had brought Lea home because she wanted to go somewhere away from the hospital. Jake had paid her another visit and just like all his visits, she was left vulnerable and broken after he left. Phill and Lea were discussing work over a cup of late night coffee. " You should take the door. " Lea had to urge Phill on because he looked unsure about what he ought to do. Phill went to check the CCTV and frowned as he looked at his sister. " Mercy!!!What the heck are you doing at my house this hour? And... do you have bags with you? What's going on? " He asked over the speaker which pissed Mercy off. " Open the damn door, Phill. What am I? A thief that you are interrogating over the... "Phill quickly yanked
