''Jules, loosen up. I am not going to swallow you. we are just dancing'' Kash said and gave her a flirtatious smile. Julieta frowned and suddenly kicked his leg saying.
''I am not dancing, you, playboy'' with that she stord off at a speed and Kash stood there confused.
At a distance, Maijune saw what happened and was about to ran after Julieta when Aaron Saint held her hand, stopping her. She turned to look at him saying 'I think Julieta is not comfortable around Dr. Kash. I should go and check on her''
''Are you going to always run to her side when she faces every man in the future? Let them handle their affairs. Kash is a good man. He will never go overboard'' Aaron Saint told Maijune.
''I guess I was being worried for nothing then?'' Maijune said and Aaron Saint chuckled and pulled her closer to himself saying.
''But, you look really cute when you are worried about soone you care about'' he said and kissed her.
.......
Julieta ran into her room and shut the door. She leaned against the door and touched her beating heart. She flushed red and squatted down. she who had never experienced or known what love was found her reaction strange. She didn't know why her heart wouldn't stop beating at every word Dr. Kash said.
Julieta sighed and began to think rationally. She thought about how flustered Kash looked when she scread and pushed him away and ran away.
A knock on the door brought her back to her senses and she stood up and tripped on the gown and hissed.
''Julieta, are you alright?'' Kash asked worriedly behind the door and Julieta opened the door. Kash rushed in and saw her touching her leg. 'What happened?''
''I tripped and my leg is hurt'' Julieta said.
''Let see'' Kash said and squatted to take a look. He absentmindedly lifted the gown before he realised his actions and stopped 'I'm sorry. I need to lift up your gown in order to check where you are hurt''
''Okay'' Julieta replied.
''I will help you to the bed first'' Kash said cautiously. He didn't want to get his arm twisted again like the last ti. He knew she was very sensitive about her body. Julieta nodded her head and Kash helped her to the bed and sat her down. he squatted and lifted the gown up to her knees. Kash looked at her leg and realised it had bruised and sighed.
''Is it that bad?'' Julieta asked.
''Is today your first ti of wearing high heel shoes?'' Kash asked sceptically.
''How did you know that? I have never worn these kind of shoes before. I usually wear sneakers or booths'' Julieta answered honestly.
''Your leg is hurt. Sit here, I will go and get a balm for you to ease the pain'' Kash said and stood up.
''Where are you going?'' Julieta asked.
''To get you balm'' Kash said.
''No, ice cubes will do. I think there is so in the fridge downstairs. I could ask the housekeeper to bring so here'' Julieta said.
''I will go and bring it. sit here and don't move'' Kash warned Julieta seriously before leaving the room. Julieta placed her hand on her chest feeling her beating heart and murmured.
''What is wrong with lately? Why does my heart feel as if is going to beat to death each ti I see him? Am I sick? I have never felt this before. I must be sick. I should go to the hospital tomorrow and let them do a full body check-up on ''
Kash opened the door and entered with a bag of ice cubes. He looked at her and smiled before he squatted to her legs and carefully removed the shoes from her legs. He picked the ice cubes and said to her ''it might give you a little shock but it will help the pain go away and also reduce the swelling''
''I know. I've gotten hurt during training a number of tis than I could keep count. I know this much, Dr. Kash'' Julieta said and they both laughed. Kash relaxed and sat down near her feet and placed the ice cubes on her leg.
''How did you and Mimi Garcia et?'' Kash asked cautiously. Earlier, Dr. Sam had told him that Julieta refused to talk about the accident and Kash wanted to find out if she was traumatized by it.
''Did my father put you up to this? Did he asked you to get close to to find out about my ntal state?'' Julieta asked a little disheartened.
''Your father is indeed worried about you but that is not why I am asking you. I am genuinely asking you because I care about you'' Kash said and looked at her.
''You don't have to worry about . I am fine. I am doing well'' Julieta said and looked away. Her eyes stung.
''You can trust , Jules. Everyone is here for you. Your father is here for you. I am here for you. You don't have to keep everything to yourself. We can only help you if you allow us to'' Kash said and stood up adding 'I have to go before the rest starts looking for . don't want your father to think I kidnapped his daughter''
''I was lonely''
Kash stopped at the door when he heard that voice. He turned and leaned against the door not saying anything, urging her to continue.
''When I first woke up in the hospital, I was lonely. I didn't know who I was. I was all alone by myself until Mimi Garcia ca to find . she told a lot of things. She said that my accident was caused by August Maijune and that my family didn't want anymore''
"She brought to her place and started training . she made do a lot of things. I killed a lot of people. every night, each ti I close my eyes, I see all the people I have killed. The truth is, I still find everything strange and awkward. I now have a family and even friends who care about , but the truth is, I still feel empty inside. I don't know how I should act around people''
''You are already doing a great job. Actually, that is how life is when you are faced with change, it feels strange and difficult at the beginning but if you persevere, you will realise, life isn't as hard as we think it is. You don't have to be careful about anything. Every one of us understands and accepts you just the way you are. Look at August Maijune. She is unpredictable, sotis volatile but we have co to accept that it is okay for another person to not act according to the norm. every one of us has our differences but that is what makes us special''
''Is this part of a consultation session?'' Julieta asked.
''No, this is a hearty chat between two friends who wants to get to know each other''
''Were you always this kind of person?''
''What kind of person am I?'' Kash asked.
''You are unpredictable. You say the most awkward things ever''
''Really? I didn't know I was such a person in your heart? There is sothing I'm curious about though'' Kash said.
''What are you curious about?'' Julieta asked.
''Why did you push away like that outside there? Did I say or do sothing that you didn't like?'' Kash asked sincerely. Julieta blushed as she thought about it again. her heart started beating fast.
''You didn't do anything, I just found it boring all of a sudden'' Julieta looked away as she said.
''Boring? Was I boring?'' Kash asked.
''No, not you. I an the dance and the music. I just found them boring. I wasn't used to such soft music'' Julieta said.
''Really? Then, what kind of music do you like? RnB, Reggae, hip hop, country music?'' Kash ntioned the types of music he knew.
''Are those all different types of music genres?'' Julieta asked surprised.
''No way. You don't even know the different types of music genres? Which planet did you just co from?''
''I told you. I used to only hang out with thugs and those group of people didn't really do music. Drugs was their thing'' Julieta said.
''So, did you also use drugs?'' Kash asked.
''Once and I never touched them again. I didn't feel right after taking it, so I stayed away'' Julieta said.
''Good girl, you did well'' Kash told her.
''How long have you being a doctor? Did you always wanted to be a doctor growing up?'' Julieta asked.
''I co from a family of doctors. It was more of an inherited kind of thing but I grew to really love it. I loved treating people, attending to them and making sure they were okay'' Kash said proudly.
''I see'' Julieta smiled.
''Since we are asking each other personal questions, can I ask you sothing?''
