jaded hearts

Oops…….time of the month

The ride to jade is really quiet,this valet looks more to me like the reserved type that doesn’t really talk much

“well..........looks can be deceiving and you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover”I thought.

But this valet didn’t even try to strike up a conversation with a hot cake like me............ he didn’t even try asking if I wanted a verbal tour of the city,at least he could have asked then if I am not interested I could have refused but he didn’t even have the decency to ask

,he just ignored me.

Its not like am complaining, it doesn’t even really bother me that much because I have a lot to deal with already,the pain in my lower back has not relieved me at all and I have no idea of what could have caused it. The ride on the plane was really smooth and convenient,so definitely it can’t be the cause of the throbbing pain in my back.

All of a sudden, a sharp pain in my lover abdomen made me wince in pain

”what exactly is wrong with me”I thought before it then occured to me to check my flow Calendar if it is my time of the Month already because this excruciating pain in my lower back and abdomen can only lead me to one conclusion........menstrual cramps

I really hope that's not the case because if it is ,this is so not going to end well I am going to be super screwed and I can’t imagine having cramps I’m a place am new to and still trying to wrap my head around...........for crying out loud I don’t even know anyone here

”how the hell am I going to cope if it is “I thought

It took a while for my phone to boot since I switched it off before boarding the plane, finally it came up and ignoring all the messages I could see are from my mom and demon brother I went straight to my flow calendar

“alas!! What I dreaded the most has happened, its exactly two days to my time of the month and menstrual cramps for me is not child’s play at all,so two days to the actual flow is when I start taking pain killers. but come to think of it why do I have to be punished so terribly by mother nature with excruciating pain at the end of each month just for not being pregnant??”I hissed and rolled my eyes.

”this is totally unfair and I forgot to add that am officially screwed”

I couldn’t think straight of my next action so I closed my eyes inhaling and exhaling before it occurred to me that I could check my menstrual kit in my traveling box for pain killers

“excuse me please can you pull over….there is something I need to pick inside my box and its really important”I nervously asked the valet

He ignored me again and pulled over without saying a word

“this fellow is giving me a cold shoulder”I scoff

“well dealing with you is the least of my problems right now ,so just thank your stars I have been struck with something greater than me”I thought smirking

He gets out of the car to open the trunk for me

“can you please stay in the car I will get in once am done”I spoke to the valet who gives me a skeptical look before replying “okay” and leaving me to do my thing

“looks like he didn’t forget how to speak”I mumbled and I have a feeling he might hear what I said but I really don’t care

I sighed when he closed the car door I can’t afford to have him around when opening my box,I don’t really want to unveil anything embarrassing in front of him like my undies and moreover what am looking for is a transparent zip lock bag containing some pills,pad,disposable panties and a 5ml perfume.I searched my two big boxes but I didn’t get any positive result I must have left my menstrual kit at home

“remind me next time to always obey my mom and not murmur when she is enlightening me about situations like this”I said to no one in particular

My mom is always nagging me to always check my flow calendar so that once it is few days to the start of my monthly flow I can start using pills so that I won’t have severe cramps but I don’t listen,later she told me to make it a habit to always carry my menstrual kit with me so that in case of emergency situations, I have something to bail me out.

“this is my punishment for disobeying my sweet mother”I sighed as I returned into the car in total defeat

”dear God please just get me through this safely and I won’t ever ignore my moms strict instructions again”I quietly said inside the car

I was really close to asking the valet to drop me off at the nearest hospital when I couldn’t find my pills, but the thing is that if he drops me off at the hospital,my next of kin is my mom more so most of my bills are charged to her account and am so sure that my mom will freak out, then after she confirms am okay she will rub it in my face that this is what actually happens to children that decides to disobey their parents, so I decide against it....I don't have the physical and emotional stress to deal with this kind of thing right now

“I should be able to deal with this without ratting myself out to my mom”I finally concluded.

The ride to jade is a really long one,and I kept on looking out of the window in the first twenty minutes assuring myself that we will soon be there but after another ten minutes I gave up the idea and stopped looking out anxiously.

After more than forty five minutes,we got to the outskirt of the city to see two big and mighty black gates............in front of the gate is a conspicuous sign that shows welcome to jade In bold letters,the gate opens automatically for us and it is like we were in another city on its own.Everything looks really different and well organized.

From the gate, the environment looks really quiet it is carefully decorated with different types of flowers,I roll down the window to take in the beautiful sight before when the nice flower scent Wafted through my nostrils and invaded it ,on a normal circumstance I could have gotten lost in the scent and beauty of the flowers but the circumstance I find myself in is no way close to normal for me ,I quickly rolled up my glass when I started feeling nauseous and start to gag, I briefly feel the valets lingering gaze on me but when I look up he averted his gaze.But I saw it.....I know this guy was staring at me,I was right when I said that he can ignore a hot cake like me like I don't exist

”are you alright?”he asked in his rich velvet voice

“am I alright?”I scoffed at his question.....my brain pressed the word alright like it it’s a foreign word.....well in the situation I find myself in that's the most ridiculous question one can ask me

”does it look like am alright I mumbled but made sure it its audible enough for him to hear.....the thing is I guess am going to preferred it if he just ignored me compared to the dumb ass question he is asking....he has the answer to that question already but still he wants me to exhaust the little energy I have in answering him.

Finally we pull over at the pack of a skyscraper with the jade emblem closed in a circle.I wish we got Here earlier when my cramp symptoms initially started at least that will prevent me from embarrassingy self in public,I strongly doubt I will be able to get down from this car without help.so I start to prepare my mind and gather momentum to step down from this Porsche.

/Ryker’s POV/

Ever since I picked up my assigned guest at the airport,I noticed that something was just really off about her, I don’t know why I have this unshakable feeling that she is in pain, she didn’t even try to inquire about the city from me, I can also notice how she winced painfully and ever since then she has been biting on her bottom lips to keep her self from screaming at one point a stray tear trickled down her checks that she quickly sweeps away with her palm, she looks pale and has started shivering she has a Fendi crop top and pants on but luckily for her she has a hoodie tied around her slender waist so she covers herself with it,I adjust the air conditioner so she can be a little bit comfortable and I can notice how she is patting her tummy and changing her position with each passing minute.

I can tell that she is really uncomfortable but trying her best to hide her discomfort but I am still able to see through it. By the time we got to jade, she looked really pale her whole countenance has changed her plum lips are trembling and it looks like she is having a fever

“are you okay??”I asked concerned but instead she mumbles

“does it look like am alright”

she mumbles underneath her breath but it was still audible enough for me to make out what she said and then ignores me afterwards.....well the thing is I fekt she is in pain and asked to confirm.

I know that she is already in a lot of pain so I don’t bug her but instead increased my pace a bit I really don’t want to speed but I need to get her to the hotel or the royal care center before she collapse

Finally, we got to Jade’s exquisite hotel

”thank God” I sighed.

I wasn’t the one in pain but seeing her in a lot of pain makes me pity her, she wasn’t in the right state to check in on her own ,I had to support her out of the car to the reception since she could barely stand.I helped her sit down and then went through the stress of getting every paper that needed her Signature.

"I have had close to five assigned guests this week......why does my last guest have to fall sick????.....if she is not this weak,I could have dropped her off and try to see if I can catch up wi the my mom before she travels out of the country...I doubt if I can make it in time"

After successfully checking in,I helped her into her hotel suite which is the sterling suite after I helped her settle in she finally spoke to me

“thank you so much for your help but I think I should be able to manage on my own now”she said scrunching up her nose like she is being forced to talk......am berry sure I didnt

“Excuse me I think I must have heard wrongly did you just say you can manage on your own?”I asked her not believing my ears

.”yes I did you’ve helped me enough already I don’t want to further take advantage of your kindness my bothering you”she managed to say

“My work here is to see that you settle into your suite properly and right now it doesn’t look like it so I request you allow me drop you off at the hospital “

I said and moved closer to her in an intimidating way to get my point across to her.

”its just cramps”she said and immediately rushes to the direction of the bathroom clamping her her hand securely on her mouth to prevent her from throwing up.

"its just cramps" I mimicked her.

she came back looking so weak and exhausted,even if I wanted to.... I couldn't bare to leave her alone all buy her self so I offered nicely to take her to the hospital again but she still declined my offer, well I really can't force her I used to be so scared of taking injections when I was a little kid up till now am not still a big fan of it so I can understand if she has needle fright but the thing is if she manages she will feel better.

if she doesn't want to go to the hospital....I know a few home remedies we can try out because I just really feel that tolerating the pain is not the best option.....I just will stop by the mall and get a few things for her.

"is there anything I can get you from the mall??"

I asked her calmly of course I know she might need tampons and hot water bottle from what I have heard about cramps I just want to hear it from her.

"no "she groaned.

"this won't work"I said shaking my head.

I have heard quite a lot about period cramps and I know a hot water bottle, chamomile tea and I guess lavender oil which am not so sure of,so I quickly head out of the room to the mall,I don't bother telling her am going to the mall because I know she might discourage me.

jade has a really big mall and since most services required by residents in jade are produced inside jade it didn't take long for me to get to the mall.There is this particular section of the mall where women "stuff's" are sold and I when I got there I could see that there are different types sanitary stuffs wings, tampons, menstrual cup am so confused on which to pick,this is the first time I find myself in this of situation and the attendant on the other end of the section is not helping my confused state all all she kept on giving me weird looks

I actually want to ask the attendant for help,but I don't even know how to go about it,so I guess when she saw me pacing back and forth she decides to help my ministry....... she advised me to go for wings or tampon so I ended up picking one of every single brand available since I don't know what she will prefer.

I checked my wrist watch to see how Much time I spent at the wings section to realize o spent close to 30 mins, I quickly pick an hot water bottle, chamomile tea and a cute hot water flask that caught my attention fr other sections of the mall before making my way to the hotel.
