THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 19's. Meet Again's.
By late afternoon I was only able to return to the hospital from the hotel after a night of no sleep at all while the matter of dragging Dave Thomas was arranged by Albert, Charles and the authorities in Canada.
"Monica, do you have any food?" I walked in with my hands full of food bags that I thought Monica liked.
"Sister, General Gillian is visiting us." I saw him talking to Monica. He looked at me with a smile on his face. Monica makes it easy for people who talk to her to smile.
He sat on the bed, Gilbert pulled up a chair to sit down and talk to him.
"Gilbert you been a long time? I'm sorry I wasn't here, I was so sleepy. It's been two nights I haven't rested properly."
"I was just here. I was also only able to rest by noon actually. Once they finish pulling all the data and securing everyone." As I thought he was the person in charge of the job, otherwise how could his career be this bright.
"Thank you for taking your time here. Have you eaten? I brought a lot of food. Come on..." My words were interrupted when Monica interrupted me.
"Sister, the food gave me. You and the General go eat out why you have to eat here. General Gillian's been helping us a lot, don't take her to the hospital." Maybe I should take her to dinner.
"May I take you to General's dinner, this is just a small part of how we can thank you."
"He's not sad to be left alone." He pointed at Monica with a small smile.
"I'd be sadder if you refused Eliza's dinner." Monica said it bluntly making me faintly stare at the embarrassed smile. Sometimes my sister is too frontal to say what is on her mind.
While my stomach tingled itself imagining dinner. His calm figure somehow made me not know what to do.
"Then go, why are you still here. Brother get the food."
"Kutakut here okay. I'll go first, I'll come back later." I put food near his desk.
"Yes go." He whispered. "Not coming back is okay either. Take advantage of the opportunity." Monica winked her eyes at me.
What chance did he mean. I pushed his head. "You're thinking too much." He grimaced wide at me.
"All right, let's go." I lead the way. But actually I don't know where to go in this city, I've been in New York City a few times before of course but haven't become too familiar. "Where do you suggest we eat?" I finally asked her as she walked beside me.
"Ehm.there's a nice Italian restaurant near here. You like Italian food. Just get in my car, I drive myself."
"Can. But I'm paying okay."
"alright. It's up to you."
I was sitting next to him, it felt like I was pounding, it was a stupid feeling. Her perfume tickled my nose, if I could linger staring at her, touching her stocky-looking arms as she wore that dark shirt was seductive. I imagine she's wearing an honor uniform.
"You've taken care of the man who framed your sister, I can't reach her because it's beyond our jurisdiction."
"Albert took care of it in Canada. He's not gonna get away with it of course."
