Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Today Steve is still in a bad mood. He didn't have any intention of going to work because of what happened yesterday, but it couldn't be helped, it didn't mean his boss would understand why he didn't want to come to work because he was heartbroken, and the person who made him feel this way also worked at the same place as him.

Could this be why some people don't date their coworkers? Although there were a lot of good reasons Steve could say about it, but when they got into a fight or break up, it would be really awkward.

Well… Sarah wasn't exactly her co-worker as they were in different department, but still, there was a chance that Steve would run into that woman.

After feeling that his appearance was ready, Steve walked over to pick up his cellphone which was placed on the table near the bed. His hands subconsciously reread the message Sarah had sent him.

Steve had purposely not picked up Sarah's calls, or replied to her messages, but he had to admit, after he read them one more time, he liked Sarah's messages.

[Call me when you feel better]

Those words touched him a bit, Sarah knew that he wasn't doing well right now and needed time, so Sarah left him alone and didnt keep calling him.

Even so, Steve still didn't want to meet Sarah.

Steve took a deep breath and put the phone in his pocket. With that kind of feeling, Steve went to work.

***

"Let's talk!"

Steve was a little surprised when he had just entered his patient room to check on his patient as usual and found a woman sitting waiting inside. That woman was the woman he wanted to avoid right now. That's Sarah.

"I'm at work," Steve replied curtly without turning to look at Sarah and over to his patient who was still unconscious. It was Mr. Collins, Sarah's father-in-law.

Steve thought Sarah was close to the old man even though the woman had divorced Michael, she still wanted to be the guardian of his patient, but who would have thought that they were still family.

Sarah finally keep quiet  when she heard Steve's words, she knew that Steve wanted to avoid her for now, but Sarah felt completely uncomfortable. Steve is bothering her mind.

So, when she come to the hospital, she decided to wait for Steve in Mr. Collins' room because the old man was Steve's patient, and Steve would definitely come to check on him.

Steve looked at the old man lying on the bed and still closed his eyes. The old man's vital signs were stable, but somehow he was still unconscious, even though it had been more than a week since the operation.

When his inspection was over, Steve headed straight for the exit, ignoring Sarah who was sitting and staring at him. While he was checking on Mr. Collins, he didn't even look at Sarah, acting as if she wasn't there.

However, Sarah's footsteps were faster, she grabbed Steve by the wrist when he was about to grab the door's handle.

"Please, listen to me first!" said Sarah in a desperate tone. She had rejected Steve and said they should better be friends, but Steve bothered her a lot, and some part of her mind didn't want Steve to misunderstand.

Steve was just silent, he felt that he couldn't even look at Sarah's face right now, his heart ached. He then used his other hand to open the door, but suddenly he felt a hand on his stomach to stop him from walking.

Sarah hugged him from behind!

"Please… at least listen to me before you act like this," Sarah said sadly and sounded like she was going to cry. She was really frustrated. She knew that Steve was upset, but he should have listened to her explanation.

"..."

Sarah's brow furrowed as Steve just stood there and ignored her, her frustration turning to annoyance. She then immediately removed her hand from Steve's stomach and hit the man's back.

"Hey! Are you going to act like this?! You even kissed me even though we weren't in relationship! And you did it twice!" Sarah said angrily and hit Steve as hard as she could.

"..."

Sarah became even more irritated when Steve remained silent.

"You !@#$. Fine if you want to keep quiet. You may forget that we work in the same hospital! We may not be able to talk right now, but I'll keep bothering you. I'm everywhere, Steve!" Sarah said then after hit Steve again once more, she stepped out of the room.

Sarah's face was red with annoyance, she didn't think Steve was a man who chose to run when there was a problem. Even though she was in the wrong, Sarah was a little disappointed with Steve's attitude.

However, suddenly before Sarah's feet stepped out of the room, a hand grabbed her hand and pulled her, Sarah who didn't expect to be pulled like that slightly lost her balance and hit something hard.

No, it wasn't the floor or the door, it was Steve's chest.

"Hey! What are you doing?" said Sarah in annoyance, holding her head against Steve's chest.

"Why is your head so hard? Are you sure it's not a rock?" Steve grumbled rubbing his aching chest.

Sarah snorted and then glared at the man.

"Why are you holding me back? Are you ready to listen to my explanation?" Sarah quipped with an annoyed face.

Steve's facial expression immediately changed when he heard that, He nodded his head slowly then turned his face red from embarrassment.

To be honest, Steve didn't expect Sarah to hug him from behind. It had been a long time since a woman had done that to him, and Steve loved it, loved it so much he was speechless.

Sarah's brow furrowed at Steve's antics, but she decided not to think about it any further, at this point she had to explain what exactly happened to Steve.

Sarah then told Steve to come in and sit on the sofa in the room, because what she was about to tell would take time.

It was quiet again, Sarah didn't know how to start telling her what had happened, while Steve just kept quiet, looking awkward.

"Three weeks ago, or maybe last month. I was suddenly called for emergency surgery…"

Sarah then told how the patient she met was her ex-husband, and how Michael had amnesia and remembered that Sarah was still his wife.

However, for the last part, Sarah didn't tell everything, she just said that she ended up pretending to still be Michael's wife because she didn't want Michael to be too surprised by what happened.

She didn't tell about she and Mr. Collins.
