Heart Of Courage Chapter 52~Patience Is A Virtue
A/N~Short chapter update! Hope everyone likes it and please R&R!~
She sat in a chair staring off into the distance. She was afraid to look up...she didn't know why...she just was. She had this haunting feeling that when Garrus woke up nothing would be different. He would still have two personalities and they woud have no future. It truly scared her. She had faced the Collectors...she had faced death but facing the fact that she and Garrus may not have a future truly scared her. She saw a waitress walk towards her out of the corner of her eye.
"Can I get anything else for you?" She asked politely.
"No thank you." She said in a calm tone that she wasn't feeling.
The Asari waitress walked to the next table. Selena watched her walk from table to table and she wondered how much she really liked this job. Did she sometimes get told more than she wanted when she just simply asked what someone wanted? Did she ever have to escort drunk people out? She had numerous questions that would remain unanswered. She picked up her glass of water and took a drink. She freaked out when she dropped her glass and water went all over her data pad that had Pride and Prejudice on it.
"No! No!" She yelled. The same waitress from earlier hurried over with a few towels to soak up the water. Selena honestly didn't care about the mess she had made. She cared about her data pad. She had paid 1,000 credits for Pride and Prejudice. It wasn't like she couldn't afford that but it was the fact of waitress smiled at her and reassured her that it was an accident. She smiled back at her even though she really didn't feel like it she figured she might as well be somewhat polite.
"Its alright Ma'm. Easy clean up."
"Thanks." Selena said.
"I'll be on my way out now. Can I have a water to take with me?"
"Of course!"
"Oh,can you make that two?"
"Sure."
She watched her walk away. She figured she better get Garrus something. 'He shoud be waking up...' She said to herself. Just then her Omni-Tool pinged. She knew it couldn't have been the hospital. She had forgotten to leave her number there. When she brought it up it was a shock. She was just about to read it when the waitress came back with her two waters. Selena paid her bill and gave the waitress her tip. She hurried out of the cafe so she could read her message. The message read:
Lena,
Wherever you went I'm awake. I feel great. Hope your'e coming back soon. I can't wait to see you.
Garrus.
Selena stood there in absolute shock. He had woken up and she wasn't there. Just another promise she had broken. She had told him she would be there and she wasn't. She smacked herself mentally. What was she thinking? She should have stuck around...she shouldn't have left. She hurried to the elevator. She wanted to see him more than anything. She punched in the code for Huerta and the elevator started. She was shifting her weight from foot to foot anxiously and biting her lip in anticipation. She bit down til she tasted blood,she immediately quit. The elevator doors opened and she rushed past the receptionist,who didn't even bother to stop her this time. She opened his door and found him sitting up in a chair overlooking the main window. He turned around to face her and for the first time in a long time she saw the real him in his eyes. "Hey beautiful."
