It was weird walking around the kitchen without Blake. In the last 4 weeks, I had gotten used to him always being up before me and makin pouring me cereal before work. Today I had to do all that by myself and it brought me back to reality. The reality that I wasn’t going to be this Blake forever and that getting used to being treated like a queen was going to have to stop.
I placed a cup of coffee on the tray with a bowl of cereal and milk on the side, I grabbed the medicine Blake was taking and a glass of hot tenien and honey water. Just like the night before, I made my way up to Blake’s room. The door was open again but this time Blake was laying on the bed
I walked over and put the tray on his bedside table and gently touched his forehead to check if he was running a fever. He was sweaty and his forehead was warm but not too bad. He stirred under my touch and he rolled over.
He coughed and stretched, pulling the blanket higher and rubbing his face on the pillow.
“Good morning sleepy head. How are you feeling?” I asked and say on the edge of his side of the bed.
“I feel like shit! My throat is sore and my head is pounding” he curled up in a ball.
“I brought you some more pills and some warm water, it will help with your throat. Have you emailed Patrick that you won’t be in?”
He stretched and sat up on the bed. I grabbed the water and pills and handed them to him..
“No I haven’t, completely forgot, I’ll do it now. My car keys are on the counter, take the car” he took his pills and drank the whole glass of water. “Can I have some more of this please?”
aside.
“Sure you can and I won’t take your car.” I took the glass from his hand and got up.
“Why not? How are you going to get to work?” He asked.
“I can use the bus or get a taxi.” I walked out of his room and went back downstairs.
I quickly made him another glass of honey and lemon and went back to his room.
“Rosy please just take the car, otherwise I’m going to drop you” he narrowed his eyes at me as soon as I walked back in. He started to move his blankets
“Okay fine. I’ll take the damn car. Now get back under the blanket. There’s some breakfast on the tray. Call me if you need anything and I’ll get some dinner on the way home.”
“Yes, mum” he replied and laughed.
I had the urge to hit him with something buy instead I flipped him my middle finger and walked out.

I grabbed my bag, jacket and Blake’s car keys. There was an uneasy feeling in me about driving Blake’s car. I wasn’t the best driver and his car was very expensive. Plus what if I got seen driving his car? What would people think?
I went down to the carpark and unlocked Blake’s car. When I looked over, there was a Black Mercedes parked in Taylor’s parking spot. Taylor had a Camaro. I put my stuff in the car when the driver door of the black Mercedes opened.
Vince got out and straightened his jacket.
“I see you’ve upgraded. My Mercedes wasn’t pretty enough?” He smirked.
“Nothing about you is pretty. Why are you here?” Anxiety bubbled inside me.
“If you forget, both my siblings live in this building. It’s the place you got kicked out of, remember?” He was being cocky,
“Oh no,
how can I forget. You’ve given me memories I will never be able to forget.” I could feel tears forming.
