David and Steffi (Part 2)

Part II

(Read Part I here)

Steffi

7:30am

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring Joan Jett's "I love rock and roll!".  I was alone. Not even a crease on my pillow or the sheets where David slept.


Smiling, I got up from bed and decided to tease David via SMS:  "That was quite a getaway. You didn't even wake me up. :)"


I got ready for the errands and the meetings I had for the day. After my shower, I expected David to have responded to my SMS already. But no reply. No biggie, David was notorious for not responding to SMS that aren't work-related.


9am


My first meeting of the day involved a socialite who wanted to dress up her gazebo and pool area for her luau. Still no response from David.


I sent him another SMS: "Hey stranger. You left without my good morning kiss. Wasn't it good for you? Hahaha!"


11am

Brunch with a couple of blockmates inviting me to join their design firm. Still no response from David.
Another SMS: "Hey Davs, this isn't much fun if you don't join in. :D"  I thought about giving him a call, decided against it, but ringed him anyway.  His phone was turned off. I knew how busy he could get, at least he'll get a laugh when he sees my messages.


2:30pm


On my way to Manila to canvas materials, I got a phone call from Tanya. Tanya is a lawyer like David. She's dating David's brother, Mike.

"Stef! Where are you? I got bad news."

"What?! What?!" 

"It's David. He's been in an accident. We're on our way to St. Luke's right now."

"Ohmygod! What happened? Wait, I'll go there too."

"We don't know what happened. MIke said it was hit and run, around 2am this morning. A truck judging from the damage to David's car. Look, I'll text you more news when we get there."

"Ok. Ohmygod. I'll be there in half an hour. I'm on EDSA right now."

It wasn't until later that it dawned on me that Tanya said the accident happened last night. When David was sleeping in my bed.
