Moving in the furniture had already started, with the little time we had me and Gale had chose a few staff.
I wanted our penthouse to be comfortable for the both of us, I knew that Gale missed home and I wanted to give him that homely feeling.
I had started to hate the pain in his eyes every time he thought about his mom, I always did my best to cheer him but most of the times I ended up listening to stories of him and his mom.
Gale's every word when sharing his childhood came with emotions that I couldn't read into, you could feel it in his voice.
How could I say that I didn't understand, my parents left me at the youngest of age. I wasn't given an opportunity to know them or a chance to be close to them; there memories of the orphanage that I don't want to remember and some where of school.
My mind drifted back to my sponsorship ships, I started to think about K.CR. I felt the urge to look for this man or woman and thank him.
If not for those sponsor ships I wouldn't be the perfect lawyer I am but where was I to start from.
I couldn't even think of a simple clue on what to do next.
As I rested back in my chair, I felt my shoulders hurt so bad. I hadn't had enough time to rest these days, all my focus had been on Kenneth's case. At first all my efforts where going down the drain but my determination to be worth of Gale kept pushing until I was straight into the lime light.
I loved being a lawyer and to see that now the judiciary world was looking at me as a new interesting generation made my heart proud, but all in I just hoped that Gale's mom's heart was starting to change towards me.
At this stage I was so desperate for her to like me, am not sure if this was about me anymore or it was about my care for Gale. I loved that man so much and it hurt to know that he and his mom are not on good terms.
I leaned back in my chair with my eyes closed to rest a bit when I heard a knock on my door. " come in "
I whispered sitting up straight and arranging my white suit. Every time I touched this suit I loved it more, It was like I could see Gale that minute, the way he offered it to me afraid I won't like it.
Funny right! It's like when you really love some one every single thing they give you, you just automatically love it.
I raised my eyes to the person that just knocked and it was Kenneth.
I sent him a small smile, I knew this might be our last talk cause there was one court sermon to go. It was because of him that I was famous already, I truly needed to thank him for giving me an opportunity even after knowing that I was new in this. I wanted to thank him for being famous, only because of him did I have these line of cases to hard.
I was starting to stabilize in this area and I truly loved it. Soon my relationship with Gale would be okay in front of his mom and there would be Rebecca to ruin it.
I hadn't said anything to Gale about Rebecca, truly I didn't know where to start from, from my angle I could see that he knew more about this issue but kept quiet.
I definitely knew that if I asked he would tell me cause Gale never lied, he would just get to the point and I will get hurt when the facts are thrown in my face.
I didn't want to stress about Rebecca but couldn't help it at all, she was that person that I had always run to in every condition and she just held without asking much. I felt so attached to her, I loved her and always treated her like the world's best friend but to her maybe I wasn't even her best friend.
Oh my God I shouldn't be thinking about that girl again, I was just going to stress again. My eyes went back to Kenneth as he settled in his sit and we discussed about the last court session that we had in two days from now.
As I talked to this quiet Kenneth in front of me that was so used to avoiding my eye, my mind drifted back to the other Kenneth that I had first met.
The cheerful one that always tried to create conversations with me but he was gone, I was so curious and tempted to ask what happened but my lips seemed shut.
To be serious I was so curious but then Kenneth had his on life and had his own behavior then who was I budge in and ask why he does this and that. After a few hours I watched him leave, he had come on time as I asked and then left on time.
I was also tired from all the buzz around me in during the day, now all I wanted to do was see Gale and rest in his arms. I missed him so much during the day, neither did he call now that was so unusual of Dr. Gale Hilton.
I packed a few files that I wanted to study from home and then my bag before walking out. As I headed for the elevator I met with Jennifer and she offered a hand to carry for me.
"Eh Amelia all these file for what " She asked and I smiled adjusting the ones left in my hold.
"I want to go through them tonight before I close Kenneth's file"
As we waited for the elevator, I saw Rebecca walking our way. She hadn't seen me yet but I had, and I wasn't feeling comfortable any more. I didn't want to be hurt and her being that person I trusted most, her words hurt more.
I looked away from her and continued conversing with Jennifer, I tried my best to act like I hadn't seen her. The elevator dinged and the doors opened, we walked and I couldn't help but sigh.
Before I even erase her thoughts too she walked in too and I felt suffocated as the doors closed. I tried so much to focus on what Jennifer was telling me but I was failing badly. My eyes seemed an controlled as they couldn't stop drifting back to the back of Rebecca.
If it was like those days back maybe we would be chatting about nothing and almost every thing. Maybe I would even be sharing with her all about my relationship with Gale but then again I think am stupid, in the first place she told me I didn't deserve Gale then how would she be happy about that.
The elevator opened on the first floor and we all stepped out, I said my good byes to Jennifer and watched her go, I stood alone for few minutes with a sigh. My heels were starting to kill me and my feet felt like they were on fire.
I sighed again and started to walk out, I hoped Gale was already here. I was starting to get used to these evening walks we had while going home.
As I held out my hand for the door handle some one beat me to it.
I stared up at the owner of the hand and felt frustrated "Rebecca " I whispered harshly looking away. I wasn't in the mood for her and her words.
I started to chew on my inner cheek as I waited for her to say something but she didn't, my eyes moved back to her and truly she was looking at me too.
"Can we talk " she whispered her voice almost faint or maybe I heard wrong.
"You're already talking so continue " I said softly shifting on my left leg, my shoulders were starting to hurt from all the heavy things I was holding.
"I see your tired, so I won't waste much of your time " Rebecca added and by instinct nodded while waiting for her to continue.
"Look Mel I don't want trouble neither do I want to fight with you, but please listen to me and stay away from Gale.. "
"Why? " I couldn't help but sharply interrupt her " what is it with you thinking that am not worthy? "
"Amelia is not like that, it's just that look in to it, ever since you and Gale started to date nothing is going well with him; he even quit working at his father's hospital " the way Rebecca brought out these words softly but suspicious.
Her tone was like that of an accuser like she wanted me to be guilty for all this. I stared at her and started to pity her, she was so selfish for a rich heiress.
"So you think that am the cause of problems and am putting Gale in to trouble " .
"Amelia you don't deserve Gale ... " .
"I think I can decide that for my self Rebecca " Gale's deep voice interfered with her statements. He was so well dressed and handsome, I hadn't even seen him or realized he was inside the building.
Gale sent me a small smile and grabbed the files from my arms. "How was your day bubble ?" I couldn't help but chuckle happily I truly missed him. Just seeing him I couldn't even feel my stress any more.
"I missed you .." Gale didn't let me finish as he stole a quick peck from me. In that moment I didn't think or remember that Rebecca was around until she cleared her throat.
Both me and Gale turned to her but Gale looked back at me and ignored her.
"We should go home, I want to spend some time with you " He whispered and I chuckled quietly.
"Okay "
Holding my hand tightly I watched as he opened the door for the both of us and we walked out. I watched as Rebecca stood silently staring at us but then suddenly I saw the shadow of a person that walked towards her and stood there.
I felt my mind freeze with wonder and confusion, I wasn't sure but I think I saw Kenneth.
I thought he had left a while ago, or was I wrong.
"Are you okay?" Gale asked and I turned my eyes to him.
"Yeah am good" I whispered leaning in to him for comfort, this time was only for me and my man.
He found me worthy and that's enough, no one can say anything and it gets to me.
