Ashlee walked into the hospital, smiling to herself after a short phone conversation with Helena. Although it was only fifteen minutes of interaction, she was contented, hearing Helena’s voice.

It’s been three days since she last saw Helena. She was busy with her work at the hospital while Helena was catching up with the work she missed out on the last couple of days when her children had come to visit.

Ashlee let out a small sigh of frustration, as she changed into her scrubs. It was one of those days that she had dreaded working. Working as a surgeon required much commitment. As much as she wanted to take the day off to visit Helena at her workplace, Ashlee couldn’t do so because she had a couple of patients waiting for her to operate on them.

Speaking of the devil, her phone rang. Helena’s name was flashing on the screen of her cellphone.

“ Hey baby, I was thinking about you a moment ago. “ Ashlee greeted.

“ I was thinking about you too. “ Helena laughed as she adds on, “ And, I also wanted to remind you about that dinner party is on tonight at The Planet.”

“ The Planet?  “ Ashlee asked curiously.

“ Yeah, Kit had already reserved a table for us. But you’re coming aren’t you? “ Helena explained.

“ Definitely. But who’s Kit? “

“ Oh right. You haven’t met her. Well, you’ll find out tonight. “

“ Alright then. I’m looking forward to meet your friends. So anyways, do you want me to pick you up? “ Ashlee asked, grinning.

She was looking forward to see Helena and meeting her friends.

“ Yes, please. I hope I don’t trouble you. “ Helena said politely.

“ No worries. I’ll see you then. Bye, I love you. “ Ashlee said, happily.

After their brief conversation, Ashlee puts on her white doctor’s coat and stethoscope before heading out to check on her patients.

Just as she walked out of the changing rooms, Ashlee spotted Matthews talking to a blonde from far. She decided to approach them to tease him about his so-called new girlfriend.

He’s hooking up with some new girl again, Ashlee thought to herself as she approached them.

When she got close enough to study their expressions, Ashlee recognized the blonde lady immediatly. It was her ex, Sarah.

“ Oh crap. Oh crap. “ She cursed, moving quickly to the nearest pillar to hide herself.

“ What in the world is she doing here.” She muttered to herself while watching Matthews and Sarah.

Ashlee waited for Sarah to walk away from Matthews far enough before showing herself again.

She approached Matthews, “ Was that Sarah? “

“ Yeah, it’s her alright. She flew here from Miami to look for you.” He explained.

She frowned and asked, “ What? Why. “

“ I don’t know why but I lied to her that you went away for a holiday. “ He shrugged.

“ Right. Thanks for covering up for me. “ Ashlee smiled softly.

Sarah was the last person that Ashlee wanted to bump into. Although she was done been hurt and mad at Sarah for cheating on her, she didn’t want to face Sarah. At least not when she was in a great relationship with Helena.

Then, the beeping sound of her pager disrupted her thoughts. She told herself to put the entire Sarah thing behind her for now. And maybe she would talk to Helena about it.
