Carlos looked from the doctor to the young girl before slightly nodding and muttering "thank you" and doctor Paige smiled before walking out of the room.
Elaine followed Paige out of the room "doctor Paige" she called as she gently closed the door after her.Paige turned to her "yes Elaine?""Do you really think he will recover his memory? I mean...we don't know him and if he is going to stay here till he recovers his memory, where is he going to stay?"Paige looked thoughtful "that's indeed true Elaine. I would have offered him to stay here at the clinic but as you know, we don't have enough beds here for one to be occupied for months.""Months? Isn't that too long?""Well, you never can tell. Although his memories will return but one doesn't know when so, it's better I leave it to that. Now, we need to find where he will stay till he does that. Do you know of anyone who will let him stay with them till he recovers his memories?""This is Folktown Paige, no oneClosing the library later in the evening and walking to the diner, Elaine was surprised to find out that it was already everywhere in town that there is a new stranger who doesn't remember where he comes from and she was the one that saved him and took him to the clinic. When she walked into the diner, a lot of mother's clustered around her, asking all sort of questions. Thanks to Amanda who came and apologized to the ladies before telling them that Elaine was there to work which was when they released her reluctantly.Throughout the evening in the diner, anybody who came in wants to talk to her, to ask her about the mysterious stranger. The diner ended up selling more than they usually do everyday. It was as if the whole town came to the diner that night. Even Mary who said she wouldn't come and also the person Elaine suspects that spread the news was present and she too wanted to get more juice from Elaine but too bad, Elaine has nothing to give.She closed late as usual but
"Finally" Carlos said when he saw her entering the room "I was beginning to forget the taste of the food" he smiled.Elaine returned the smile and walked over to the table, she picked up the plate of hamburger again before she sat beside him on his bed, she resumed feeding him "I'm sorry for taking too long. Doctor Paige and I just have something important to talk about.""It's okay. I was just kidding with what I said anyway.""Mm" Elaine replied absentmindedly. Carlos watched her as she fed him, he knew something was different about her now and he wondered what it could be that doctor Paige said to her that will make her lost in thoughts. After feeding him the last of the hamburger, she returned the plate on the table still lost in thoughts.Carlos' gaze followed her "Elaine?" He called softly but loud enough for her to hear him.Elaine looked at him then "yes?""What is it?""What is what?""Why are you so lost in thoughts?""Oh" she looked at the table
Paige will be discharging Thomas today and Elaine hurried up to the clinic in order to take him to her home. Unfortunately, Paige was not able to find a new place for him to stay apart from Martha's and she will never let him go there which means, her home is the only other option, not that she cares anyway.She arrived at the clinic just in time to see Paige shaking hands with Thomas who was standing with his hand placed on the wound on his stomach, his head was still wrapped in bandages which Paige said he will unwrap soon just after some few more days. Elaine approached them and they both offered her a warm smile to which she returned."I'm glad you could make it Elaine" Paige commented with a smile "take good care of him and don't forget to come to me when you have a problem okay?""Sure Paige. You can count on me" she replied.Paige looked at Thomas then "I hope you recover your memory soon Tom, it will really be great getting to know you better.""I will try my
Elaine cleaned up the dinner like she always do, the day had been very tiring since she had to act ignorant to the customers stares and whisperings about her. Tom has only moved into her house today and the whole town already knows about it. Martha was even silently accusing her of stealing him way and she had to roll her eyes when she heard that, yea right, like he belonged to anybody, she had thought. She stuffed some leftovers in a bag and put some in the refrigerator while some went to the trash bin.She closed the diner and dropped the key in it's usual place before beginning her walk home in the silent night with only the moon as her light and companion. Her mind picked up Thomas' handsome face and she blushed just thinking about him. His deep blue eyes that always looked like it was calling her in and his sexy full heart lips that she couldn't help but wonder how it will feel when kissed.She found herself happy to go home and she couldn't help but count the houses she
The next day, Elaine awoke to an angry voice, she covered her ear with the pillow to block the noise and to sleep some more. She had gone to bed so late after sitting up the whole night with Tom after he had a bad dream.Tom! She remembered and sat up immediately, who is Tom talking to? She wondered when she heard a question "I asked who the hell are you?" Mom? She furrowed her brows. Mom! She climbed out of the bed and rushed to the door, she threw it open, looking directly in the living room to see her mom standing in the centre with her left hand on her waist and right pointing at Tom who was standing with his head bowed "mom" she called, getting the attention of the two who looked at her.She approached them and grabbed Tom's elbow softly "do you mind waiting in the bedroom?"Tom looked from her to her mother before nodding once, they both watched him limbed to the bedroom, he turned and looked at them once more before stepping into the room and shutting the door. Elain
Elaine was getting some vegetables in the market, she won't be going to the library today and decided to cook a homemade meal before the time she will go to the diner. Tom was recovering really fast which she is happy about but so was her feelings for him. Again, every night, he wakes up with a scream of 'No' or 'John' she has tried asking him to talk about the dreams but he never opens up and she decided to not force him only that she was getting really worried for his health.A hand suddenly snatched away her bag of groceries and she turned to see the one person she doesn't want to see. She rolled her eyes before looking at him, "is that a trending thing for you now? To snatch away a lady's bag?""Lady? You are no lady Elaine. A girl who brought in a stranger to her home is no lady" Jasper said."Thank you for that clarification. Now give me back my bag.""So it's true, you brought in a man into your home?" He gave a dry chuckle and shook his head "I can't believe you
Elaine took in a long breath with her eyes still closed and her hands still wrapped on his neck, she let out the breath as she tried to steady the hunger and fire building inside her, she can't believe a single kiss from him made her legs go weak, she leaned on him to gather up her strength, she bit her cold lips that was burning with the sensation and aftermath of the kiss. She still want to kiss him, her lips are craving for his but she knows she can't anymore, Jasper was already gone, she can feel it.Carlos was dying, just watching how she seductively bit her lower lip was driving him insane, what the hell is wrong with him? He let go of her waist and Elaine was forced to release his neck, she looked down at her feet, not daring to look him in the eyes."I'm sorry" she whispered "I didn't mean to do that, I just wanted him to leave me alone and I figured I had to do something to make him. I'm sorry for kissing you and for using you. I didn't want to" she looked up at him t
Amelia wanted to say more but since Elaine already promised to come to her house, she couldn't do anything but leave it until then "fine, I will be expecting you" she glared at Thomas before getting into her truck and leaving the building.Elaine turned to Thomas then, "I'm really sorry about my mother. She can be dramatic sometimes. I just hope you didn't let anything she said get to you. Believe me, she is not always like that, I think someone has agitated her already and she is just looking for a place to fume off and we happen to be the victims" she smiled tiredly."It's okay really. I'm not offended rather I saw reasons in what she said. She is right you know. I guess my wounds didn't let me think well earlier but that's okay, I'm fine now and your mom has just woken up my senses."Elaine rolled her eyes, "please don't tell me you are already thinking along with her?""No Elaine listen, she is right. Everything she said makes perfect sense. I'm just a little sad tha
