Blake Coster
"So do you have fun?" I asked as Jean entered my office , her face is so bright. I smiled looking at her in this state , loving every smile that she plastered from her face.
"Of course baby" I stand up and kiss her. Hugging her tightly and inhailing her sweet scent
"I miss you"
"Miss you too" She kissed my cheek and I sit back on my chair
"Still have a pile of work?" She asked as she plopped down on the sofa on the side of the room
"Yes sweetheart and why are you asking?" I asked her as I sign a couple of papers
"Nothing"
"Do you want to watch a movie with me?" I asked her as I looked at her. Her face light up and she nodded
"I want to , but don't you have a lot of work?" She asked as she pointed the pile of papers in front of me
"I don't say it's free darling , you need to pay" I smirked and she glared at me
"What is your payment now Blake? Do you accept Visa?" She crossed her arms in front of her , glaring at me. I laughed seeing that view
"Go to Greece with me for a holiday" I said and a smile appeared on her beautiful face , she walked to me and attacked me with hugs and kisses. I pulled her to my lap and stare into the most beautiful green eyes
"Are you serious?" She asked and circling her hands to my neck
"In 2 months Jean"
"I can't wait" She squealed and buried her face to my chest
"Thankyou Blake" She kissed my cheek and suddenly my phone rings. Jean quickly get up helping me taking my phone on the desk. She looked at the caller ID and hand it to me
"Hello mom" I picked up
"Blake , Your dad is in a critical condition. Please come to the hospital now Blake" She end the call and I turned to Jean
"What happen?"
"My dad is in a critical condition , come on" I took my phone and wallet with me. Take Jean's hand and we quickly walked out from my office. Get inside my car and quickly step on the gas.
"My dad came to me at the same time when you went to Vegas , he wanted to talk to me but I don't want it a bit. I hate him. He doesn't deserve my forgiveness" I explained Jean so she don't confuse. She kept silent because she know I'm not in a situation to get a lecture about forgiveness now.
As we arrive at the hospital , I quickly park my car. Jean hold my hand tightly and we walked inside. Take a lift to the 3rd floor where the VIP rooms are.
"Blake" My mom called as she saw me walked out from the lift
"How's Declan?"
"Critical Blake , suddenly his heartbeat unstable" My mom's eyes are puffy and she's worried so bad. I walked to his room and saw doctors handling him. My mom walked in and I followed her.
My eyes widen as I saw the heartbeat monitor showed a straight line. The doctors trying to take his heartbeat back by using a machine. My mom cried so hard beside me looking at my dad in horror.
Suddenly the heartbeat monitor show up a up and down lines again , he's still alive. My breathing is unstable from the shock I got earlier. I hugged my mom who is crying now.
The doctors take care of him by giving him a couple of shots to his IV and then walked to us.
"He already pass it and we just need to see if he wakes up in a few hours" The doctor said and I nodded. My mom keep thanking the doctor and she sits beside my dad's bed. Holding his hand tightly and kissed it.
Suddenly I felt someone holding my hand , Jean looked at me with a sad eyes. She slowly wrapping her arms around my waist , hugging me silently. I hugged her tightly and let out a sighed.
Jean patted my back slowly , calming me down. I pulled her out from the room and I take a seat on the long bench for people to wait along the hallway.
Jean hold my hand withot saying anything and I need that now. There's so many thoughts going in my mind , I closed my eyes and sighed. I was my dad almost die in front of my eyes.
"Isn't this the time for you and him talk Blake?" Her voice makes me open my eyes and turn to Jean
"I- I hate him Jean"
"I know it's now easy but everyone deserve a second chance Blake , it's been years" She said and caressed my hand slowly
"He apologise and give all his heritage to me. He wanted to talk but I don't want to talk with a man who almost kill me and my mom"
"People change Blake , he swallow his pride and apologise to you and now I want you to swallow yours" She pointed at my heart and kissed the side of my head
"Think about it okay baby? The Blake I know has a really good heart" She smiled
"I don't know Jean"
"I'm going to get coffee , I'll buy it for you" She kissed the side of my head and walked away.
I ran my hands through my hair and let out a groaned. Suddenly my mom walked out from the room and sit beside me. She hold my hand and patted it.
"He wants to see you , it's been a month he gave you some space Blake" My mom said and I sighed
"What does he want?"
"Just listen to him Blake , he wanted to talk you for a really long time. Give him a chance Blake , he change"
"Change? A man like that will never change mom" I turned to her and she suddenly smile to me
"He has heart problems Blake , we will never know when Gos will call him" My mom said
"Can the doctors do an operation for it?" I asked
"They can but the chance to survive is 50% Blake" My mom sighed and I stay silent
"Throwing your last name make him sad Blake , he didn't know that you hate him so much until change you last name" Yeah even the Samuel is my big family name but it came from him so it really disgust me having a dad like him.
"If I can give him a second chance , I bet you can too Blake" My mom said and she walked inside the room again.
Blake Coster Samuel? Blake Samuel?
Jean came back with 3 cups hot coffee in her hands , I walked to her to help holding it. She smiled to me and kissed my cheek.
"I'm going to give this to your mom" She said and walked inside my dad's room. I looked at the cup of coffee and my anger rise up. I wanted to throw this cup away right now.
A moment after that Jean walked from the room and sit beside me again.
"Give me one" She said but I kept the 2 cup in my hand and turned to her glaring
"What? Do you want something else?"
"Is the damn employee flirting with you?" I bursted in anger and her eyes widen
"No Blake-"
"Who is John and why is he giving his number to your cup?" She looked at the cup and saw the handwritting
"He didn't flirt with me , he just write that down. I swear Blake he-"
"Sorry , I just caught up with my emotion" I cut her and give her cup back. I acted weird , I mean I always get possesive and jealous if someone tries to flirt with her but she never care about them. She only see me
"Talk to him while he's alive Blake , you will never know about when God will take his life. Use the time while he's alive and cherish every second of it" She smiled to me and how can I get so lucky to have this girl?
"Blake baby" Jean shake my shoulder lightly making my eyes open immediately.
"Blake your dad is awake" She said pulling me up from the chair. I didn't realise that I sleep sitting on the chair in this situation.
Jean lead me inside , I saw my dad is drinking some water that my mom gave him. His eyes widen as he saw me , a smile appeared on his face
"Hey Blake"
"Hey Declan" I answered with a low voice
"Hello sir , I'm Jean" Jean introduced herself
"You must be Blake's girlfriend" He smiled to Jean
"Yes sir"
"Call me Declan , Jean. It's really nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too Declan , I hope you recover soon" Jean said cheerly try to lift up the mood.
"Jean will you company me to buy some food?" Suddenly my mom walked to Jean and Jean nodded
"Come on" My mom said
"Let's go" Jean looked at me and mouthed 'talk to him'. She smiled and hold my mom's hand as she walked out. They both left and now it's left with me and him.
"How are you boy?" He started a conversation
"Good as you can see"
"Sit here Blake" He pointed at the chair beside his bed and obey him. Walked there and sit beside him.
"I'm sorry Blake" He started
"I'm sorry that I don't do my job as a father , I'm not there at your graduation , I'm not there watching you play football. I'm sorry Blake , I really regret all the things that I do in the past" He said
"When you and Adeline left , I realise my life is not happy Blake. Everything changes and I don't have the guts to face you both. I feel disgust and I know about you changing your name Blake. I deserve it that you hate and disgust having a dad like me. I'm sorry" He said and I can't help holding back my tears remembering what happen in the past.
It hurts me so bad
"What should I do for you to forgive me Blake?" I can't help this , I stood up. I'm trying my best to hold back ny tears.
"Me and Jean are going to Greece in 2 months. I want you to live a healthy life so we can travel there. You got it , De- dad?" I said without looking at him
"Thankyou Blake , thankyou so much. I will , I will stay healthy"
"I'm going to look for some fresh air. Rest so you can heal faster"
"Will do Blake , thankyou son. Thankyou" I heard he sobbed and I walked out from the room. I quickly walked to the emergency stairs and make my way upstairs to the rooftop.
I let out all my feelings by screaming my heart out at the rooftop. I cried remmebering all the things that my dad had done. It hurts me but today swallowing my pride is not the easiest thing.
