TEST

That was the last thing I said to him before we continue eating again because my new food has arrived. When we finished we immediately went back to the office.
"I want your coffee," he said softly to me as we entered his office. I even felt him caress my waist over and over so I immediately slapped his hand.
“Stop. We are at work,” I almost whispered to him when he suddenly kissed me hard.
“I don’t care. I’m your boss, we can actually do it right here anytime you want,” he playfully said to and winked at me.
I quickly broke away from him because of what he said. Damn this man.
“I can’t believe you. I'll get your coffee, sir,” I said goodbye to him, emphasizing the word sir.
I just heard his laugh before I could finally get out the door. While I was in the pantry I received a text from Arthur. I didn’t even finish brewing Levi’s coffee when I read her ‘that’ text.

**Ari**
Sis, mom and I are here at the hospital. She had fallen in the bathroom earlier while she was cleaning

I immediately went back to my table and get my things and quickly left. I couldn't even say goodbye to Levi because I was in such a hurry. I almost stumbled because the heels I was wearing were high and I was really trying to run.
I feel like my soul will be separated because of the text I read. I can’t even think properly because that immediately goes into a bad scenario so I almost despise myself for that.
I received another message from Arthur telling me the address of the hospital. I didn't reply to that, instead I typed a message for Levi who immediately replied.

**Levi**
Alright. Text me the address of the hospital, I'm going. Please take care. I love you

I could not hold back my tears when I read that. All sorts of emotions poured out on me while I was in the taxi and I didn’t know where it was coming from. I feel like I'm being cheated on by myself because everything has been fine before. I feel like I’m just overreacting towards everything today. I don’t know why. The mess!
When I arrived at the hospital, I was relieved to learn that my mother's condition was not serious. She just had a big bruise on her waist because that was what hit her the first time she fell.
“Why aren't you careful? I told you not to move around the house. Your back isn't good yet, you have something new to take care of now,” I preached to her when I sat down next to her.
I saw my brother staring at me so I stared at her.
“I'm fine, Rae. Don’t worry,” she told me briefly and even held my hand.
I was fired again because of the situation.
“What are you doing as a child? Why is mama cleaning the bathroom?” I was furious at Arthur who was shocked by my scream.
“Oh my G, sis! I guess you just shouted like that now. What’s happening to you?” She replied in a teasing tone so I was even more bored.
I tried to stand up to strike her but she quickly escaped and went to mama's side.
"Rae, that's enough."
“Help mom when you're not in school. How many times have I told you that, Arturo!”
“My god, Sis Rae! Don't shout my real name. I'm helping mama, she's the only one who's really naughty. Why are you acting like that? Do you have a period? Ew!” she told me so artfully and even stared at me.
I stiffened when I suddenly remembered something because of what she just said. I immediately averted my eyes from the two of them. Before I could speak, Levi suddenly appeared next to me so I almost hit him in shock.
"What's wrong with you, sister?" Arthur asked again when she heard me swear.
I didn't answer her, instead I turned to look at Levi who was also looking at me.
"How is your mom?" it greeted me and immediately took my hand.
I didn't answer him because he approached mama who was currently sitting and eating.
“How are you, auntie? I heard what happened, are you okay?” he kept asking mama, but I didn’t get my attention.
If not in that matter. How many months has it been since that happened? Shit you, Rae! What if...
When I felt I really needed to ask about that ‘thing’ I first let them know I would be out for a while. I immediately dialed Rafa’s number which she answered immediately. I know as much as she knows about this thing.
“What? How many months has it been? Have you taken the test yet?” she almost shouted at me on the other line so I closed my eyes tightly.
I bit my lower lip then shook my head as if she's in front of me right now.
“N-not yet. I mean, I don’t, Raf. I'm scared," I stammered to her.
I heard her repeatedly releasing curses on the other line which made me especially nervous. I could feel my chest pounding as I waited for what she would say.
“You are no longer afraid to have sex with a stranger, Rae! You buy it, right now. Let Yerim and I know,” she finally said then she ended the call.
My heart almost went out of my body because of the tightness I was feeling. I can’t even think straight because of that ‘thing’. What if my guess is correct? What if that’s really the case? How's that, Rae?!
I wondered a few more times if I would do that procedure now. I tried to calm myself down before I decided to go back to mama’s room, but I could still feel the trembling of my knees and hands.
I was about to go back to that room when I saw Levi walking towards me. His forehead furrowed as he looked at his cellphone. When he got close to me he sighed violently.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him, trying to forget what I’m thinking earlier.
I don’t want him to know yet. I want to confirm.
“I’m thinking if you can go with me to Tierra Fima. There is a problem on the farm and I need to be there, but your mom needs you here,” he said in trouble to me and sighed again.
He violently ran his hand through his hair and cursed repeatedly.
“Is it bad? What happened? ”
“Father Henry had a heart attack. It was so sudden. Plus the farm is in its low state, I have to take care of it,” he explained and looked at me tiredly.
His eyes are now tender. I can clearly see how tired he looks because of his successive meetings with a big client. It hasn't had a break since last week.
"I can follow you when mama's fine," I told him softly and hugged him tightly.
I could feel his head pressing against my neck and could barely smell it so I smiled. He hugged me tightly and kissed my neck.
“Yes, please... I don’t know what to do without you,” he whispered while I was tapping his back.
"I will also tell you something so I really need to follow you," I stated to him happily.
