My heart's desire

Chapter 48

Ella

*I've been stuck in my apartment for the whole day and night. I couldn't sleep . I've been thinking about Alex. I have never been so embarrassed . I mean, i knew he was autistic but I just didn't think he would faint . I can't even look at him. Jade is coming over with Isa. I have to vent . I just got out of the shower, and now I'm already dressed in my comfortable clothes. There is no way that I'm going to be facing Alex ever again. I grab my whole tub of ice cream and eat from the container. It's cold, so I turn on the heater and watch a continue my series. It's a comedy. "Only murders in the building."*

Jade : Honey, I'm home!!

*I hear Jade screaming from the door, and Isabella laughing.*

Jade : I've always wanted to say that.

Isabella : How are you feeling, baby?

Ella : Horrible .

Jade : What happened? Yiu know that ever since I broke up with Dante, I've been missing out on gossip.

Ella : You guys broke up?

Isabella : So he really did have that heartbroken syndrome or whatever it is .

Jade : What? He got what?

Ella : I'm still stuck on the breakup . Why didn't I know of all this ?

Jade : Drake is such a bore. Did he seriously tell you this over pillow talk?

Isabella : Shut up !

*She says, blushing. She is so in love it's cute.*

Jade : Ugh, do you guys have to be so in love it makes me cringe .

Ella : I wish. I made someone faint with just a kiss.

Jade : You what????

Isabella : Who fainted ?

Ella : Alex. I had um well took him to this museum that my brother once took me . So I figured he'd like it too, and he did . He gave me a hug . It was longer than his normal hugs, and I felt so special. He pulled out, and well, I happened to kiss him then . It's not my fault that he has appetizing lips .

Jade : Wow , I mean it took you long enough .

Isabella : Right ? I thought they were already dating by now .

Ella : Seriously, guys? I'm worried sick about the guy I put in hospital with my lips, and you 2 are giving me a runaround for the time I took before dating him. And to answer your questions. He's special .

Jade : That's so cute . At least you guys have something interesting in your lives . I'm eating a lot these days, and I'm always tired, stupid pregnancy .

Ella : Tell me about I......

Isabella : Pregnancy?!

Jade : Didn't I tell you guys ?

Ella : You're pregnant ?

Jade : Yep, I'm chasing a month now .

*We both give her a hug, and she smiles, but it's not as bright.*

Ella : Does Dante know?

Jade : Why are you so sure it's his?

Isabella : Because if it wasn't his, you would have never told us .

Jade : Mh, that's a valid point.

Isabella : Continue we will resume with her later . Disturbing is really annoying.

Ella : Yes, so I called Willie, the driver, to pick him up.

Jade : You didn't !

*She says, already munching on her spicy wings that she took in my fridge .*

Ella : We rushed him to the hospital, and I was crying and scared the entire time.

Jade : You didn't.

Ella : As soon as we got there . They rushed him in and told me to wait outside . I had to call Dante, but I just ..

Jade : You couldn't.

Isabella : And maybe that's why she didn't.

*She says sarcastically, throwing jabs at Jade, who laughs at her.*

Jade : Sorry, I had to try that. It was in this comedy reel I watched. She was like on a call and her husband next to her. Al her replies where you didn't, you didn't, you couldn't haaa

*I'm already down in laughter . I know the videos, and Isabella is annoyed.*

Ella : Sorry. Anyway. Willie called him, and he came alone. Apparently, Drake was busy .

Isabella : He's sick.

Jade : Is he?????

Isabella : Just shut up .

Ella : I left upon his arrival and drowned myself in shame and guilt . I haven't got the courage to go see him for our session . I called in sick .

Isabella : Wow, talk about a complicated situationship .

Ella : Let's remove the ship .

Jade : Well, I think you have to regain your confidence and face him . He just has a tough time expressing his feelings . That's just how he is.

Isabella : Yes, and that's...

*A knock interrupts her*

Jade : I'll get that.

*She leaves to get the door.*

Jade : Look at what I found, wondering around.

*We both turn to look at her, and my jaw drops, and so does my ice cream tub .*

Alex : Good afternoon, everyone.

*There, he is fixing his glasses and giving us one of his Colgate smiles looking like a God.*
