THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA : PART 7

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 7
We collapsed onto each other, me on top but Sally seemed like she did not care about my weight anymore; she was now crying silently avoiding my eye contact all along. But from the side, I could see she was smiling like a 3-month-old baby who had just been ticked by her mum.
The aura of peace, contentment, gratification and serenity rested upon us as if we owned the universe.
“Sally, Sally….” I tried calling her but she did not respond.
I rolled over to her side and looked into her eyes, they were wide open as if staring at me, I tried to motion her but she did not respond. “Sally, respond stop joking”, I said jerking her but she did not respond at all. She remained motionless. I panicked. I took hold of her hand and lifted it up in the air, I let it go and it fell like a tree without control. “Sally!!”, I shouted but still no response. I went to the kitchen and fetched some ice-cold water, came back and poured on her forehead but still got no response at all. “What the hell is this now?!” I found myself talking to myself.
I slapped her so hard but still she did not respond. “I must be dreaming!” I talked to myself. What next? Is this girl dying on my bed or what? What do I do? I tried all first aid skills that I could remember but none worked.
I realized something could be terribly wrong. I reached my phone and tried to call my friend, but the phone remained unanswered. I called two other people, I called 999 and still got no response. Do I knock on my neighbor? What do I tell my neighbor?
My neighbor was a middle-aged man, around 45 and quite reserved. I knew he had a car as I reasoned we need to take Sally to hospital as fast as possible. This was turning into a night mare. I gathered all the courage and went to knock to his door. After what seemed like forever, he came and opened the door.
“What is it Tony at this late night, have thugs attacked you?” Sam asked looking straight into my eyes. “No, I have an emergency, I have someone I need to take to hospital urgently and I have no one else to look on to except you, please help me”. Ok. Give me a minute to dress up. He said disappearing into the darkness. I heard him call, “Darling, there is a young man who has someone in need of help”, a familiar voice answered, “Ok dear, am coming”. Said a familiar voice. I tried to remember where I heard that voice but my mind was so hazy I could not recall.
Two people emerged from the house, coming to help me take Sally to hospital. We rushed towards my house and Sam who was stronger offered to assist me pick Sally to his waiting car. She was still unconscious for who knew what. We bundled her into the car and I returned to quickly lock the door. Upon turning back, what I saw nearly made me faint.
I stood there face to face with my female boss. She was the woman that was in Sam’s house. She seemed surprised too. “Oh, my goodness, you again, what have you done to Sally?” She asked. Sam stood there looking at us like we were aliens. “Do you two know each other?”  Sam asked. I shifted my eyes to look at Sally silently sleeping at the back chair of Sam’s car. “Can we first take this young lady to hospital, you two can later tell me what is all this about”.
-----------------
We arrived at the health center a little past midnight and Sally was picked by some nurses and wheeled through the emergency door. No one else was allowed past the emergency door.
We sat there silently staring at nothing in particular. I kept wondering, was my boss Sam’s girlfriend, mistress or what? Since all I knew Sam was married and my boss was not his wife. I could not dare look into their direction. The silence was deafening. I could tell all of us had so many questions that remained unanswered. The air was so tense. The only sound was some crickets outside and some other nocturnal creatures that I did not know.
--------------------
After what seemed like forever, a nurse emerged and asked, “Whose patient is she? Please follow me” the nurse said without waiting for an answer. I followed her like how a young boy would follow his mother after doing some mischief.
“Your girl is fine”, she said to my utter relief. “She just suffered from vasovagal response attack. This occurs when vagus nerve is overstimulated by either physical or emotional stimuli. When this happens blood vessels can dilate thus slowing the heart. This is what caused her to faint. What were you doing when she fainted?” Asked the nurse. “I answered shyly, “We were making love”. The nurse smiled at me sheepishly then answered me, “Ok, she will be fine, in fact you should have just let her rest, she would have woken up on her own”. “So, what do I do now?”, I asked the nurse to which she replied, “I just gave her in injection, she will wake up and you will go back home”.
I turned back and to my horror, my boss stood there at the door listening to our entire conversation with the nurse. I excused myself and turned to walk outside. “Remember you two still have a case with me in my office”. I nearly told her to go to hell. Sally has already taken me through all this and all she was thinking was her damn job while am in crisis.
-------------------
Sam took us back home with his car and Sally simply walked back to my house and slept like a baby without uttering a word to me.
***********
Come Monday morning. We did not go straight to the boss’ office. I waited for her to call us but she did not, at least during the day.
