INCIDENT 7
LAURA DIDN’T MANAGE to go to work the next day because Doc Tuason spent the night at her place. She can’t just leave him by himself. That’s why. He is currently still asleep, lying on the mattress on the floor, while Laura is taking care of her laundry and is busy outside fetching water because they don’t have a faucet inside and their only source of water is a pump that was along the highway outside her place.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
When her friend saw her, she immediately approached. “Laura!” she called out.
Laura turned around because of her loud voice. “Gwen!” She called too.
When Laura’s friend got close to her, she immediately hugged her while tickling her tummy. “The hell, Laura! There’s a man in your room! Where did you get that? Eeeh! He looks yummy!” Gwen said excitedly.
“Sissy? You saw that? Your eyes are really big! greater than mine. Aha!” Laura answered, then laughed.
Gwen poked her in the side again, “Aye! He’s younger than you, hmn? I haven’t seen his face yet, but I think he’s handsome and tall too!”
“Stop it, Gwen,” Laura complained while pushing her.
“Who is that, Laura? Did you—hmn?” Gwen said, while gesturing a finger fuck. “Oh.. Fuck! Laura, he seemed to be so fuckin’ good in bed. Umn!” she said flirtily as she bit her lower lip.
“You’re crazy, Gwen! Haha! Stop that! Someone might hear you, bitch! Haha!” Laura shut her up.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
WHEN CLYDE CLOSED the door, he immediately faced Laura. He even pinned her to the wall.
“Doc- ugh! You’re drunk!”
“Laura—”
Focused on his face. Laura could smell the alcohol on Clyde’s breath. Laura was a bit shy, so she avoided looking at him.
“Is anyone going to be mad if I sleep here, Laura?” Clyde whispered while his face was still focused on Laura, who kept avoiding it.
“Why are you here, Doc?” Laura turned her face towards Clyde to answer and gaze straight into his eyes.
Clyde locked Laura in both of his arms as he pressed her more against the wall trying to get his body too close.
“Ugh! Doc-”
The two are still staring at each other. Laura couldn’t take it any longer because Doctor Tuason’s enticing look made her even more uncomfortable.
“Laura, agh! Umm…” He keeps on biting his lips while pressing Laura against the wall.
“Ugh! Doc—” Laura kept on resisting, Doctor Tuason’s body was almost pressed on hers.
Until suddenly..
“I’m going to blow Laura! AAARK! Waaark!”
“Oh! Doc!” Laura screamed as Doc Tuason blew.
“Uwark! Pfff!” Laura’s chest was puked twice by Doctor Tuason.”
“Doc-” Laura just shook her head at what happened. “Fuck! Aha!” she just chuckled.
Clyde is really drunk. He lay down on the mattress that was sitting on the floor without even asking permission from Laura.
“Doc is completely inebriated! Shh! I’m really wet! Fuck! That was intense! I need to take a bath again! Argh!” Laura said to herself.

LAURA WAS CURRENTLY in her daydream smiling when Gwen tapped her.
“Hey! Laura! There’s someone looking for you,” Gwen said as she stretched her neck.
When Laura turned to see who it was, she saw Tejie asking for her name.
“Laura! Is that the brother? A beast of beauty! Fuck! Introduce me to him, sissy!” Gwen’s flirty smile appeared.
Laura made a face. “Gwen, just a minute,” then waved.
“Laura, introduce me!” Gwen shouted.
And when she was seen…
“Hey! Laura!” Tejie greeted her right away. “I’ll go get Doc. He has duty later.”
Laura smiled. “Come on, I didn’t even get in because Doc was still asleep. I can’t just leave him alone.”
They entered the alley through the second door to Laura’s room. And when they get in…
“Tej? Laura?” Clyde exclaimed. It turned out he was awake but still lying down and holding his head.
Tejie looked at Laura.
“Ah! I’ll be back! I’ll just buy Doc coffee. You go inside first!” She also left immediately.
Tejie entered the room.
“What? What the fuck did you do, Clyde?” he asked his brother. “Look at you?”
Clyde sat down with a furrowed brow. The mattress was still on the floor because he had just woken up.
“You’re embarrassing!” Tejie said again.
“I didn’t do anything!” Clyde reasoned.
Laura suddenly arrived with coffee and breakfast food. “Eat first, Doc, before going home,” she smiled.
Laura brewed the coffee for the two and also arranged the food and transferred it to the bowl.
“Okay, Laura, I’m going to straighten you out. What did Clyde do? Doc?” Tejie asked.
Laura paused. “Aah.. Nothing, he just puked on me twice,” she said with a smile. “He was very drunk last night. I was surprised and here he is. I didn’t expect that he would come like that.”
Clyde cupped his hands around his mouth and stood up quickly. “Did I puke on you, Laura? Twice?” he stammered in embarrassment. He quickly get on his shoes.
Laura smiled and nodded.
Tejie crumpled his face in humiliation. “Aah, Laura, we’re not going to eat anymore. I’m sorry. I’m going to take Clyde home. I’ll just return what you bought,” said Tejie.
“Ah! Oh no, Tejie!” Laura refused, quickly waving her hands. “Why leave so quickly?”
Clyde approached Laura. “Laura, I’m really sorry. I’m sorry,” he apologized.
“Doc, sleeping here is just a small thing, apart from-what you did to help me,” Laura smiled.
The brothers looked at each other.
“Alright, Laura, we’ll go now.” Tejie said goodbye and then went out first.
“Laura, I’m really sorry.” Clyde said, scratching his head.
“Ahaha! It’s nothing, Doc! Promise!” Laura laughed.
“Alright, I’m leaving. I have a duty today. I forgot.”
“Me too! I didn’t even get in,” Laura answered.
Clyde’s eyebrows met. “Oh.. I’m really sorry. I think I did a lot of damage.”
Laura smiled. “Oh no, Doc, it’s okay. It’s okay. Dont worry about it.”
“Oh okay, Laura, thank you very much, and please accept my apologies,” Clyde said, nodding.
Clyde hurried out. Laura didn’t take him to the entrance.
“Aah.. he left. Maybe he was ashamed of what he did to me, so he hurried,” whispered Laura. She
just shook her head and smiled.
It was obvious that her face had turned a bit sad. She knew that she was happy that Clyde slept at her place and she even managed to wipe Clyde with a warm towel and watched the young man’s beauty for a long time while he fell asleep. She can’t deny to herself that she has an admiration for the doctor, and that’s all she regrets because they didn’t even talk properly.
“Hmmm…” Laura let out a deep breath. “Why is that? Fate played a bad joke on me again-when will he come back?” Laura just looked at the food on the table that was supposed to be for them. “Maybe not anymore…”
But all of a sudden…
“Laura?” Doc Tuason, who had been calling from outside, returned.
“Doc?”
“Laura! Ah.. I forgot to get your number. Can I?”
“My number, Doc?”
Laura’s question about when Clyde would return was quickly answered; now he was in front of her and asking for her number.

AFTER A WEEK…
LAURA’S POV
It’s been a week since Doc Tuason slept with me. He also took my number, but he didn’t even call or text me! Well, I almost forgot.
By the way, Doc has a girlfriend. I remember what the nurse told me when I was still in the hospital. I wonder what he is doing now. I’m like an idiot! I feel so stupid! Am I hoping that Doc Tuason will come back? Hello, girl! Stop daydreaming! Stop hoping, because that ain’t going to happen! What are you? Beauty queen? Fuck Laura! He’s so handsome, he’s titled and rich, so don’t be delusional! Those who he dreams of are not like you! Wake up, Laura! Only in the novel did it happen that nobody and a doctor married each other! Especially you, Laura. Look at your skin! Fuck! I can’t see the moles. So dark! Ugh! Why am I making fun of myself? It’s hard to catch those big fish. So stop trying to catch it!
Hmm! He’s really handsome. He’s also kind. I have a feeling that he’s really gay! Gay? But- the way he stares? Ugh! Why can’t I move on? Well, I just admire him. Paul is the one in my heart! It’s just that I owe a lot to Doc Tuason. If it weren’t for the money he gave me, I might be on the road now chasing garbage trucks! Imagine! 30K? That’s how much money he left me! I couldn’t believe it when I counted the money. There! Instead of going home to Tarlac to see Paul, I didn’t. I thought of waiting for his text for a few more days so that I could tell him that we would just live here in Manila and use Doc Tuason’s money as a start. But-
No Paul! That night, I immediately moved to this small room. One of the vendors at the hospital invited me over and made an offer. And there it is! I’m here and he’s in the next alley!
Today is Sunday. I don’t have work today, so I was planning to go to church because it was still quite early. Later in the afternoon, Gwen would invite me to drink again.
“Hey.. I’m going to go to church first; it’s only nine o’clock. I still have time.”
But then, suddenly…
“Laura! Laura!” Gwen shouted loudly while banging on my door.
“What the hell, Gwen? Are you going to break down my door? You’re really nuts! It’s still early in the morning. Ask me for a fuckin’ drink now? Pfff!!” I screamed as I walked and opened the door.
And when I opened it up…
“Laura, someone is looking for you,” Gwen said, raising her right brow.
I wondered who was looking for me, and-
“D- Doc?”
I couldn’t believe that Doctor Tuason was now standing in front of me, as I was just thinking minutes ago, wearing a simple red tee and black denim pants paired with simple white shoes and his neatly brushed up hair. He looked very clean, and he looked like he didn’t fit in the place where I was. I suddenly feel butterflies flying and circling around my head as I look at him smiling. Fuck! He is so handsome…
“How are you, Laura?” He greeted me with a smile.
And then again, fate played a joke.
