Broken With My Mother In Law

One day when I was busy scrolling on my social media using my phone and just lying in bed, I received a call from Elena. I’m contemplating whether I should answer her or not since the article I am reading is so interesting, I am afraid that it will disappear if I answer her call. Thinking that it was about something serious, I pressed the answer button and placed the phone near my ear. 

“Hey, what’s up? No, I’m not doing anything today. Yes. Why? You needed help? Sure.”

I put my phone down and sigh. Since we have something to do later, I decided to take a nap first. I charged my phone then lay down on my bed. 

“Thank you.” Elena is my friend and dessert chef. Today, she was preparing some desserts for a party. The party was crowded. She was so busy that she called me and Dylan to help. Of course, since she was our friend and we love dessert, we quickly agreed to her. 

“Here we come.” I came with Dylan and saw that the chopping board in front of her was full of many kinds of food, which needed to be processed again.

“Thank God you’re here. There are two girls missing tonight. Here, I’m sorry that’s all we have left.” She said, throwing two overalls for us to change and starting her work again. There are many people in the restaurant, but she is the only one busy on Elena’s side.

“It’s so cute, you know, I’m happy. It’s sexy to dress like this, isn’t it?” Dylan put on his apron and held a wall post beside him in a position that he thought he was handsome. Let’s judge him. I’m not even kidding. 

“It looks good on you.” Elena looked at his dress. 

“Take off your apron.” We’re here to help Elena. He’s still playing a fashion show there. I’m a little unhappy so I stare at him.

“Hey, what’s the matter?” He understood the purpose of his coming, he said “I’m sorry” and took off his apron with great understanding. 

One of the things I like about the two is that they can understand me when I am serious and not playing around. They also know how to shut up or slow down when I am not in the mood. We are like that to each other so I am thankful. 

“Where do we start?” I fastened my apron and asked Elena where I could help.

“Well, take these shrimp balls out and get a nice name.” Elena handed each of us a plate of shrimp balls. She set the plate, which looked very good.

“I think this name is also good.”

“Is there anything wrong with the name?” I had not walked out of the restaurant a few meters away with food, and I saw the man in the crowd. Yes, it was him again, as handsome as ever.

“Oh, my God, it’s him.” I shoved Dylan back to the restaurant with food, and did not forget to look back at him. He was chatting with his friends and laughing happily, but fortunately he didn’t notice.

“Who, who is it?” Dylan looked blankly and tried to find the person I was talking about through the dining room curtain

“The man I met, he’s here.”

“Where?” “What?” The three of us poked our heads out from behind the dining room curtain and looked at the man.

“I met him three times in two days. What probability is this? Under what circumstances will there be such an opportunity?” I can’t suppress the joy in my heart, which makes me very excited.

“For example, no,” Dylan said with a calm eyes. 

“That’s Dr. Field. This is his party. He just moved back from San Francisco,” Elena said methodically. She works in this restaurant. It’s not surprising that she knows this, but now I know it, too. At least I know what his name is and what his occupation is.

“Really?” I asked, really curious about him. 

“That’s right.” I looked at his side of the face while talking with others from a distance, and with Elena’s affirmative tone, I remembered that I happened to meet this man in the past two days. I became interested in this man and wanted to know more about him.

“You’re right, he’s really handsome,” even Dylan said. In fact, his tall nose, deep eyes and sexy stubble are the signs of his excellence.

A lot of prominent people at the party, Three or two stand together and talk and laugh, In the hall lights reflect each other, I am ready to meet the man, I re-end the plate of shrimp balls towards him, his handsome face, strong posture, I slightly bowed my head, around him round and round walking back and forth secretly looked at him, and then, I chose the best position to stand there, standing and a good position to look at him.

“The best part came, the man’s heart stopped, Donald gave him first aid and saved him again.” A man next to him said. He was talking about the first aid to patients in their hospital. It sounds fantastic. My heart stopped and I was revived by the man named Donald. However, from the mouth of doctors, what remains is a miracle.

“God, he’s annoying, isn’t he?” He said with a smile. “His colleague is annoying, probably because he doesn’t like being praised like this in public places.”

“No, you’re great,” said one of his female colleagues. 

“Yes!” I also answered in the affirmative, he is really good. However, I seem to have been discovered, and I can’t wait to find a hole in the ground.

He and his colleagues looked at me, the burning eyes, damn it, what did I do?

“What are you talking about?” The female colleague next to him asked me curiously. Their strange eyes made me flustered, so I hurried away.

“Wait, what’s there to eat?” He saw the shrimp balls in my hand, and I forgot that I was here to send them shrimp balls to eat.

“Ball, ball, shrimp ball.” He looked surprised. I thought it might be because my words made him misunderstand something.

“Shrimp in … ball” I do shrimp wrapped in pasta inside the action to explain to him.

“I’m sorry, but we’re not very interested in fish genitals.” The female colleague said to me with her hands folded and her eyes defiant, apparently because I eavesdropped on their conversation, and she was very unhappy.

“All right.” I was embarrassed and lost. It was a shameful act. I wanted to slap my face multiple times but if I do that now, they will really think that I am out of my mind. 

So I will do that later. Kidding. I really want for the ground to just swallow me whole from my embarrassment. I can already feel my face getting red as a tomato. Oh ground, please swallow me now. 

Donald’s POV 

I’m Donald, a doctor, and I have the habit of exercising regularly, such as running on the beach. I can still remember when I went on a run a few days ago. 

I woke up early because I used to run early in the morning. When I was done washing my face in the bathroom, I changed into appropriate running wear and prepared my bag. Today, I planned to run on the beach side for a change of scenery. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When I was already downstairs, a servant saw me and offered me breakfast but I declined her politely and went on my way. 

I went to the parking lot and looked at the cars parked. Today, I chose the jeep to travel. I smiled, then got the keys and opened the door. 

I smirked when I heaved the engine. I liked the sound it made. So after I warmed the engine up a little, I decided to proceed with my plan. 

I was running along the beach side and since I felt sweaty, I removed my shirt then I held it first because I was already away from my bag. I planned to at least run some time then go back to my jeep and drive to my house. 

Anyway, I was busy running with my earpods in when I noticed a girl busy walking a dog but it looked like the dogs were walking her. She was having trouble controlling them. I could just smile at that scene then look in front of me since I was running, so that I won’t look like an idiot if I fall or bumped into someone. 

When I looked at her direction again, I was caught off guard when I saw her looking at me too. She was pretty and I could see her eyes were beautiful as well. So I smiled at her and I saw her smile back. 

Anyway, I recently moved back from San Francisco, so I invited my friends to organize a party. Caroline and Enoch are two of my colleagues.
