Someday can always be today

Chapter two

She went to sleep early that evening, she was tired from the flight and needed to rest. When she woke up the next day she quickly got dressed and ate her breakfast. She planned on going out and scouting certain spots for one of the paintings she had to do.

She stepped out into the sunny morning and headed off. It was a very hot day outside and she regretted not bringing something to drink with her. She passed many buildings that would look great in a painting but she chose to look around a little longer. While walking around she spotted Mato coming out of a newly built business building.

She wasn't in the mood for conversation so she tried to look busy while passing him. It was hard to do, especially since the streets were so narrow.

"Hey Lena!" He called with enthusiasm.

"Oh, Hey Mato. I didn't see you there." She feigned surprise.

"Yeah, I just had to stop by the office to make sure everything was okay."

"The office? That's new here right? I don't remember it being there before." It was hard to miss; it was at least five floors.

"Mhm, it's a new health facility. Just for like emergencies though, it's hardly a hospital."

She was speechless. It was so fancy looking and it reminded her of the hospital down the street from her house. He noticed her staring and asked; "Did you want to come in and look around really quick?"

She thought about this and asked herself 'why not?' "Sure that would be great! If your not to busy or anything." She threw him a small smile.

"No, Its fine, Come on I'll show you around!" He led her through the employee entrance and guided her to the lobby.

"This is the lobby where the patients come and sign in and everything. Nothing special." He led her down a hallway to the right and found an elevator. "We can stop by my office really quickly if you want..."

"Yeah, Sure!" For some reason this place interested her. She's seen tons of places like this, but for one to be right smack in the middle of her second home was just interesting.

"Up here and to the left- the third door." She walked along with Mato and when they entered his office she stopped in her tracks, her breathing grew rapid. On the west wall was a picture hanging. Not just any picture though, it was framed and had a metal plate on the bottom. But this isn't what caused her to go into hysterics; it was one of the men in the picture. Not the one that was tall, skinny, and looking to be around his 50's. But the one that was younger, more handsome but still professional looking. The picture was of Kostos Duanas and under it on the plate it read; Founders and Co-Presidents of MED facility.

Maybe she was just reading it wrong…

"Who are those men in that picture over there Mato?"

"Oh,uh, that's Dr. Alister and Dr. Duanas. They founded the company a few years ago." He said this like he repeated it hundreds of times a day.

"I see. So they, you know, hang out here a lot?"

"Haha I barely see Dr. Duanas leave. Dr. Alister on the other hand goes home to his family every night. You see they support each other a lot. Dr. Duanas takes care of mostly patients, and Dr. Alister takes care of the finances and makes sure the staff is doing their job. Maybe if we're lucky we will run into them!"

"NO!" she shouted. This was too much information to process. Kostos was back in Greece. He worked in Greece. He all but owned a medical facility in Greece. She couldn't just waltz up to him and expect everything to be the same. What if he was married again. Although Mato said nothing about him having a family at home. But still would it be awkward for her to see him after all this time? What would they have in common anymore? She couldn't see him like this.

"Come on, let me show you their offices! I'm sure they won't mind!" Mato said.

"No! Really Mato its fine, I'm sure they are really busy." She stammered.

"Okay fine." He said with a grim expression.

They walked out of Mato's office and continued around the building for another half an hour. All the while Lena ducking and avoiding other doctors as much as possible.

"So how long have you been a doctor?" She asked him once they got out of the building. It seemed very odd that someone of his age could go through that much schooling.

"Well as great as that sounds -right now I'm studying under one of the other doctors until I can get my degree."

"That makes more sense I guess. What do you like about it, I mean why medicine?"
"I think it has to do with the whole saving lives category. Who wouldn't want to do that?" He had a good point she thought to herself.

"That's true, I never considered doing anything in that field but now I guess when you put it that way it wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean it takes so much to do that kind of stuff. You have to watch people suffer and sometimes die but also having that responsibility to try to heal and save them. I have a lot of respect for people who can do that." She explained.

Mato looked thoughtful for a minute then changed the subject. "So what are you here for?"

"Well I'm actually here for my job. I majored in arts throughout my life so I'm here to paint my home country for a new museum."

"That's awesome! You did not tell me you were an artist." He accused.

Those words caught her off guard, again. Those were the same words that Kostos had spoken to her during the summer she first met him. She couldn't take this anymore. Everything reminded her of him.
She started walking faster in the direction of her one roomed apartment and started to feel the moisture in her eyes. She didn't turn when Mato called her name. She barely heard him. But she did hear him say a good bye in the background.

Once she was in her apartment she closed the door and locked it securely. When she double-checked the lock she ran and cuddled up on her bed. She hated feeling so alone. She didn't like the feeling at all, but she survived this long with out him, what was different now? The difference she told herself is that she was within miles of him and she was to scared to talk to him. To afraid to look him in the eye and apologize. Her mind immediately flickered a few years back when he actually came to see her in the U.S. and she totally blew him off. She never forgave herself. She never could. She was convinced of it. She thought of all this and eventually drifted to sleep.

When she woke up it was around five in the evening. She still felt exhausted but she couldn't push aside her hunger. She realized that she missed lunch and only had a small breakfast. She got out of bed and threw on the first pair of shoes that she could find which happened to be her flip flops. She was about to change her outfit but decided against it, its not like she knew anybody here anyways. She headed out the door and found a local diner.

It was a small little place that served a variety of foods. She walked in and went to an empty booth to sit down. When she was greeted by the waitress she ordered milk and the special of the day: Tuna fish salad. She ate it fairly quickly, paid the bill and walked around trying to find a place to consider for a painting. She was walking when she suddenly felt dizzy. She let the feeling pass and continued her journey. By the time she got home it was night and she felt nauseous. She took some Tylenol and got in the shower. That all helped, but only temporarily. She was swooning around her apartment trying to find her cell phone when she suddenly noticed her vision was blurred. Next thing she new she was falling to the ground. She lied there for a few minutes until everything went black.

When she woke up she wasn't in her apartment at all. She wasn't even sure that she was still in Greece. But after looking around the white room she found a window that had a clear view of the beautiful city around her. She lied in the bed uncomfortably and thought about how she got there. The last thing she remembered was the shower and nearly tripping on the way out. She couldn't recall ever needing hospitalization. With that same thought she gasped. She must be in the new medical facility. Where else could she be? Right then a nurse walked in the room with a bright smile on her face. She looked about sixty and reminded her of a grandmother in a fairy tale.

"Oh goodness! Your finally awake!" She exclaimed.

When she went to reply her voice came out hoarse and ugly.

"Um, yes. Why am I in here?"

" Oh well you had a fainting spell last evening and your friend just wanted you to come in just in case it was anything serious. But I can assure you that it was not. You were just dehydrated and had food poisoning at the same time. That's a nasty combination you had going on there." She added with a frown.

Lena then noticed her sour stomach. It would be a few days until she was well enough to actually do something on this trip. With that thought she sighed.

"Is something wrong dear?"

"No, I'm fine. I think I just had some bad fish last night" She tried to smile but I turned into a grimace. "When can I leave?" She really just wanted to get out of this place.

"Your free to go in a couple of hours, right after Dr. Duanas comes and gives you the go ahead." She smiled one last time and headed out the doorway. "Call if you need anything!"

She felt her heart beat speed up increasingly. So he knew that she was there. This should be interesting she thought to herself before lying back and drifting asleep once more.

Okay so I know its been a long time since I updated. Sorry about that! But the reviews really do help me to right faster. I guess I was caught up in the Breaking Dawn drama! Woot Woooo!
