All I Want
{Amy’s Pov}
The traffic today was very bad. I wanted to return early from school to be with Mary but I got stuck in traffic.
When I arrived at the hospital, I observed that the place was crowded. There were reporters everywhere.
I was wondering why there were so many reporters when I heard the reporters talk about some rich model lady that tried to commit suicide.
I felt bad as soon as I heard that.
What could have happened to make her want end her own life?
The whole hospital was buzzing with Important people. The shutter sound of the cameras was deafening.
I maneuvered my way through the crowd and entered the hospital. Then I heard the nurses mention the name of my favorite model. Madison Ray. I slowed down so I could hear what they were saying about her, and then I heard them mention that she tried to commit suicide because her boyfriend cheated on her.
I was enraged. So mad that my hatred for men and the silly relationships they offer grew bigger.
How could someone cheat on a beautiful and capable lady like Madison?
Who was that b*stard?
Madison Ray is a very popular model in Texas. the whole U. S sings her praise. She is a model, singer, and songwriter. She is a very smart and beautiful lady.
Her face is on billboards and magazine covers all around the U. S. and countries all over the world.
She is a full package.
Any man would kill just to have a lady like Madison, yet, that asshole cheated on her?
I felt really bad for Madison, but there was nothing I could do to help. I could only pray that she survives and make that bastard pay for what he did to her.
As I walked back to Nathan’s room, Madison was all I could think of. Why would anyone do something like that to someone as capable as Madison?
The lady is the most humble person I have ever met. Even though she’s got the status, talents, and beauty, she is still as humble as a lamb. She is always smiling and spreads smiles wherever she went.
She is a lovely soul and that is why she is loved by everyone, yet, she was broken so easily by a man.
This is why I have always avoided men and their fake promises. I sighed as I took the turn to Nathan’s room.
Life is unpredictable.
Lost in thoughts I didn’t look where I was going
until I bumped into someone.
“Sorry,” I apologized, but the person whispered my name. I looked at the tall figure and I was stunned to find Mr. Clay standing before me.
What was he doing here again? I wondered, then I noticed that he had tears in his eyes.
“Mr. Clay?” I exclaimed in surprise. “What happened to you?”
Carlos didn’t talk, but just hugged me tightly. “What is wrong? I asked again but he still did not respond.
“Let me call your assistant.” I offered and tried to take my phone.
“No! Don’t call him,” Carlos finally opened his mouth. I tried to step away from him, but he won’t let me.
He held me so tight that I was starting to have difficulty breathing.
“Why are you here like this? I asked again as I watch his broken self. he didn’t respond to me, but I could see the melancholy buried deep in his eyes.
“You should go home,” I said and tried to break apart from him. “There are lots of reporters out there and it will be bad if you are sighted like this.” I advised
“Please stay with me.” He begged in a very low voice that sounded entirely different from him.
“What? How can I stay with you like this in the corridor? What if people saw us and start a rumor?
“Please don’t leave me, Amy,” He begged.
“Wh…? I was about to protest, but something dropped on my shoulder and I confirmed that it was Carlos’s tears and that stopped my protest.
Why would a grown-up man like Carlos cry?
He has everything. So, what could make him sad. So sad that he is crying in such a public place?
I wanted to refuse, but I took pity on him. “I will stay with you but we can’t stay here like this, so let me take you home and…
“No… Not my house,” Carlos shook his head immediately.
I look at him with surprise. “Why not? I asked to which he shook his head again.
“Let me stay at your place tonight, please.”
“My place? l asked in amazement.
Why would he leave his beautiful house and want to crash at my place?
“You can’t stay at my place,” I said, and Carlos pleaded continuously until I agreed.
I made him sit in the corridor as I went inside Nathan’s room to check on him. I found that he was fast asleep, so l dropped the things I bought for her and went back outside to meet Carl
I took Carlos out of the hospital and we took a cab to my apartment. I opened the door and stepped in, Carlos also followed after me.
He looked around the apartment as he entered and his lips curled up. I didn’t understand what that smile meant.
Was that a smile or a sneer?
My apartment is a two bedrooms apartment with one living room and a kitchen.
“You can relax here, Mr. Clay while I clean my room for you,” I said moving to go away.
“And where will you sleep if I take your room ?” Carl inquired.
“I’ll sleep in Nathan’s room,” I said and immediately moved to get to work, but he stopped me.
“Since it’s your room, please don’t clean it.” He pleaded.
“Huh? I was stunned to hear him say that.
“Do not clean your room Amy, please,” He repeated. “I want it the way it is,” Carl begged so l shrugged and let it be.
“Alright,” I nod and decided to go prepare something to eat because I was famished
“Carl, what will you have for dinner? I asked.
Carlos left my hand and came close to me. He was so close to me that I could feel the hotness of his breath on my face. I tried to move back, but his hand was already on my waist. He placed his head on my shoulder and inhaled deeply.
“Will you be mad if I tell you that you are all that I want? For breakfast, Iunch, or dinner. Amy, it is you that I want.”
“What are you saying? I blushed and moved to leave. I tried to stand up but Carlos pulled me back and I fell on his lap and he sealed my lips with his.
“The truth.”
