EACH STEP YOU TAKE FORWARD, YOU SEEM TO BE FURTHER AWAY~ Khloe Diamond

KHLOE DIAMOND
I could not contain my happiness, I had been dancing nonstop since I returned from work and Kelvin would not stop staring at me.

"Are you that happy?" He asked me and I nodded.

"You don't know how long I waited for this" I replied him with a really big smile which he also returned.

"I have to go pick a nice dress" I told him and danced all the way up the stairs and to my room.

I literally emptied my wardrobe as I couldn't find the best dress for the dinner date.

Date?

I covered my mouth quickly while I blushed. "But he didn't call it a date" I said.

"Oh, whatever" I added and returned to dancing while going through my clothes.

Getting only work clothes over the years suddenly seemed to have been a wrong decision because now I can't even find something decent for a date.

I held up a black dress to my body in front of the mirror, trying to see if it would fit for dinner!

"Too black" I said shaking my head.

"Too flashy" I said throwing the pink dress in my hand.

After several comments on all of my dresses, I finally decided to go shop for the perfect dress, I have to look my best. Maybe a manicure would do, I could get my hair done as well.

No! He would notice so much difference!

Arrrrgghh! I'm going crazy!

Shopping for a nice dress may be a little more difficult than I thought, they were either too much or too plain. I wanted to stay in between, I neither wanted to be overdressed or underdressed, it had to be perfect.

I spent hours shopping and finally returned with several shopping bags not being able to make a decision.

"How wasteful! Why did you not go with your friend?" Kelvin yelled at me seeing all of the clothes I ended up getting.

"Ahhh! I don't know! Help me out, which of them?" I asked him, ignoring how much he yelled.

"I don't know, feels like a whole boutique in here" he replied, shaking his head.

"Fine, whatever!" I scoffed at him and left to get ready, maybe, just maybe I would end up making a decision by the time I'd be done.

Finally satisfied with how I looked, I picked up my phone to call Chris. I wouldn't stop smiling and dancing with my head as the phone rang but he wouldn't pick my call.

After several failed attempts, I figured he was probably getting ready and wasn't with his phone. Cutting the formality of calling ahead, I left home and headed for his hotel.

Thinking about it, he has been staying in that hotels for a while now, what a waste!

The drive to his hotel seemed longer than normal but finally arriving, I sighed as I faced the receptionists.

"Good evening ma'am, how may I be of help to you?" She asked.

Bet she didn't remember from last time, she had me stay out here insisting she would not let me in or give me his room number. Wicked little thing.

"I'm here to see Mr. Chris Landon, and he is aware I'd be here" I told her, laying emphasis on the last part.

She smiled probably remembering the other night but somehow, it felt like she was mocking me.

"Mr. Landon has been out all day ma'am. You can give him a call" she replied with her tight lipped smile. One could definitely tell it was fake, and something gives me the feeling that she doesn't like me.

I called Chris again, and again, and again, and again till I lost counts but the motherfucker wouldn't pick up my calls. I checked my wrist watch and it was almost 11pm. Been here over three hours!

Nicely played Chris!

My eyes met with the receptionist who just laughed silently as she watched me leave. I felt so embarrassed and pissed!

What a waste of time!

CHRIS LANDON
Thankfully the cut in her head wasn't so deep but she still had to go through surgery. I wouldn't forgive myself of anything happened to Annie under my watch, she was here because of me in the first place.

I couldn't sit through the surgery, I kept pacing back and forth as I waited. The short time it took seemed like days to me but finally she was out and safe.

"The vase really cut her and there were pieces of it stuck on her head but it's all good now". The doctor told me to which I nodded with a smile.

I went down to see her in her bed where she laid silently like a totally different person.

"Annie" I called her attention and she had a weak smile looking at me.

"It's fine, you'd be fine" I told her to which she nodded.

"Of course I would be but would my hair be?" She asked me and for a moment I was confused until realization hit me, they must hav cut some part of her hair for the surgery.

"Sure, it would grow in not time" I assured her. I wanted to ask tons of questions but I couldn't, it would be wrong to stress her right now.

Instead of questioning her, I just watched her silently and for the first time, she was also silent. I hated hospitals but I spent the whole of the day caring for her until I slept off by her bed.

The next morning, I woke up to ding we still asleep but I had a cloth over me. I smiled! She must have done that.

Why can't I just be in love with her and put an end to this complicated life of ours?

Yeah! She doesn't love me too.

After seeing the doctor and assured that everything was fine, I finally returned to my hotel to at least bath and get a change of cloth, that was when I remembered something important. I had a date last night!

I rushed to my phone which was right on the bed where I left it in a hurry yesterday, it was dead. Khloe would be completely pissed right now! How do I explain this to her?

Author's note:

I mean it's understandable right? He had his head messed up by Annie's incident and forgot all about dinner, who wouldn't forget in such a situation too. Or not?

Let's hope Khloe understands.
