Chapter Four

“Buenos dias, McDaniel and Associates! How can I help you this morning? I’m sorry, Ms. McDaniel is not in this morning, can I take a message?” Nina, Tess’s secretary stated when she answered the office phone.

Wearing sunglasses, Tess walked into her office building swiftly. “Good morning, Nina. Please hold all my calls, except for the ones from the Escobar family.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Nina replied.

“Oh, check to see if Ms. Simmons is in this morning. If she is, please ask her to see me A.S.A.P., OK? Thanks. I’m working on a proposal for an acquisition, so please don’t let anyone else disturb me.”

“Sure thing, Ms. McDaniel.”

Oh no, not again. I’m getting tired of this. Every damn morning, night, during the day, or anytime for that matter. This has to stop. Come on, Ayana, I need to talk to somebody. Where are you?

Tess walked briskly past her receptionist and into her office, shutting the door behind her. She rushed to her bathroom. While feeling sick as a dog, she appreciated the privacy of her own restroom. A knock at the office door helped her pull it together. After letting Ayana in she flopped down on her sofa.

“Tess? What’s going on with you? You’re not yourself. Come on, girl, what’s up? Talk to me. I’m here,” Ayana pleaded. “Look, cuz, you have to talk to someone and I’m the only real family you have now. You can’t keep carrying what’s going on around inside of you.”

Ayana dropped down on the sofa beside her and hugged her.

“I know, I know! Lately I just can’t think straight, don’t know if I’m coming or going. And this bug got me on some kind of roller coaster.”

I don’t know if I should open up to Ayana. I’ve never shared my personal life with her. I guess we do need to get a little closer. After all, she did move here to be with me.

Anaya looked down at the floor raising her feet up to rest underneath her. “Bug? What bug? We have bugs?”

“No, silly! I mean…” Tess looked at Ayana with watering eyes. “I’ve been sick. I’ve been trying to hide it. It hits me especially late at night or early in the morning.”

“What’re your symptoms? Why haven’t you gone to the doctors all this time?”

Another urge to head for the bathroom came upon Tess. She ran out of her shoes this time.

“Damn girl, you are sick and worst of all you look like it too. When you go out, put those sunglasses back on. You have dark rings around your eyes.”

She returned from the bathroom. “I see them. That’s from not sleeping at night. A couple of times I’ve woken up in the morning from sleeping with my head in the toilet. I think I know what’s wrong ”

“Ew, that’s nasty.”

“Yeah, well as gross as it sounds, I don’t care about all that when I feel sick.”

“Are you stressing over, August? It’s been five and a half weeks since you guys talked. I know you love him.
