LOVE after HATE

Coffee

I didn't feel like going to Zeus' office and be his servant that day. I felt tired but I still dragged my lazy ass to Zeus's office.

"Coffee." He said without looking at me.

This stingy old man. He didn't even bother to buy another coffee maker, he could just ask one of his employees.

I went out of his office and wondered if Joanne was absent. When I reached the ground floor, I was surprised that it was raining but I was glad that it wasn't that hard and the coffee shop was just a walking distance.

I ran outside and I made it to the coffee shop a little wet but it wasn't bad. I groaned the moment I entered the shop. It was full of people.

It wasn't the only coffee shop on that area but the rain suddenly purred outside giving me no choice but to line up there.

I waited for already five minutes and I also kept in glancing outside if it was still raining. It wasn't just raining. It was pouring and I sighed. Just when I was already next in the line.

"Crème brûlée." I ordered which was what Joanne ordered when I went with her last Friday.

The rain was still pouring and I was so sure Zeus was already looking not for me but his coffee. I ran outside the shop and I was already soaked when I reached the building.

I hastily went inside and rode the elevator to Zeus' office floor. I was glad that the air conditioning in the building wasn't that high but it was still enough for me to shiver a little and the warmth of the coffee was relaxing that I was tempted to roll it on my cold skin.

I pushed the glass door and I stopped halfway when I saw Zeus on his phone and he was standing while looking at the rain outside and royally sipping his coffee.

I felt so pissed I wanted to pour the hot coffee on the top of his head after I soaked myself just to get him coffee. I didn't feel like seeing his face that time so I turned around and went to Karen's office.

"What happened?" She asked when she saw me in my wet clothes.

"I was caught in the rain and I suddenly feel not good." I said and placed the coffee in her desk. I was glad I refused to write something at the cap. "I don't feel like drinking it anymore so you can have it."

"You should take the day off then and thanks." She said. "Did Mr. Lebeau know already?"

Fvck him.

I just shrugged.

I felt so uncomfortable after I showered and I wasn't feeling very well when Steve arrive and called for dinner. I didn't want him to worry about me so I ate dinner with him but I barely touched my food. I felt like my stomach would just throw it out if I eat another spoon of food.

"Are you okay?" Steve asked and I looked at him.

"Yeah. I'm just having a headache." I said but I knew it was fever as my body suddenly became hot.

Shit!

"Can I go upstairs ahead?" I asked and Steve nodded.

"Bring some water and medicine." He said and I brought two bottles of water and I remember I still have some medicine in my room.

My body suddenly felt weak and it was crying as I climb the stairs. It felt so heavy.

I groaned when my body hit the mattress and I didn't had the energy to look for the medicine and just laid down there until I fell asleep.

"... thank you." I heard Steve's voice making me open my heavy eyes.

My body was heavy as I tried to sat up catching Steve's attention.

"You're running a fever and I already called your school." He said I just nodded as I coughed and reached for the water. I could feel the dryness of my mouth and throat as the water washed it.

"I can take a day off if—"

"No need." I cut him and coughed. "This is just a fever and I can take care of myself."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." I said and Steve looked at me for a few seconds before he sighed and nodded.

"I cooked you something to eat and your medicines." He pointed the drawer where few meds were there.

"Thanks, uncle." I said and he nodded.

"I'm going to work now."

"'Kay. Take care." I said and stood up. I brought the meds and went to the kitchen and even though I didn't feel like eating I would just force myself for the meds.

My cough was getting a little bit worst but the fever already subsided after I drank the medicine.

I turned the TV on and searched for something to watch but I ended up falling asleep in the middle of the movie.

It was already one in the afternoon when I woke up because of my cough. I turned the TV off and walked to the kitchen for water and I reheated the remaining porridge from the morning and ate a few spoons and drank my meds.

It felt like I didn't sleep for the whole morning so I walked back to the couch and laid down.

I was woken up when my phone rang loudly and vibrating on the glass center table. I growled as I weakly checked who it was. An unknown number but I answered it and tapped the speaker.

"Kinsley." I was taken aback when I heard Zeus' voice from the other line and I was about to bark at him when my throat became itchy and I coughed it out.

"You still haven't given me the coffee I ordered yesterday, so I come to pick it up." He said and it pissed me off.

"Fvck off." I said and ended the call and then followed by the sound of the doorbell. It sank in my head the last few line of the call.

No way!
