"Why won't the world just let Lucious Mendez and Sydney be? Pamela Hill, a nurse in the Panacea psychiatrist hospital says, dropping the daily news paper on the table, so that Lauren fonder could see it.
"You and this Lucious guy again? I think you are actually the one that would not let them be, you speak about him all the time". She smiles, pulling the seat to sit opposite her. "But it's hard to stop talking about him, when he is super cute". She confessed, then she added. Even at that, they should still let him be, I don't know why they think something is going to go wrong between them? "The world still look at Lucious, the multi billionaire as a womanizer, they don't want to accept that he has changed". Lauren says, going over a few more files, setting them in their rightful place. "I too, sometimes feel it is hard for a known womanizer like Lucious Mendez to just repent, I feel something is wrong". She places a finger on her lip as if thinking of what she feels is actually wrong. "Pamela, Lucious is not my problem right now, I am applying this year again, I need to gather enough money, so that I can go to psychiatrist school at Houston and also, get my mother to have that surgery done, she is slowly dying and it hurts me that I can't do anything about it". She spoke in a sober tone, almost breaking down, and that was when Pamela remembered that her friend and colleague have a lot going on with her at the moment. "I am sorry dear. Are you sure applying for the program when you don't have the money is the right thing to do? Why not try and save up the rest of the money, then deposit it for your mum's surgery, you still have enough time to go to school, you are still young". "I just don't know what to do, each time I remember all I have to go through, I feel sad". "And that is why I brought this Lucious Mendez discussion, so that you could ease off". "Pamela, you are really funny. How will discussing about a billionaire help me ease off? "Haven't you heard that if you must make money in this life, you need to read about wealthy people, and discuss about them, that way, you can start thinking about all the things they did to make money? "Pamela, continue reading about them, when you make the money, let me know, so that you can support my life". She says, shaking her head, trying to go back to what she was doing earlier, when Pamela spoke again. "This Sydney of a girl looks like you, in a different way, don't you think? "I have heard that before, but I don't see the resemblance". She says, taking a look at the picture of the couple again. That was actually the first time she was looking intently at the both of them. She could see clearly why Pamela is taken by his looks, the man beside the woman looks very handsome, with his broad chest, blue eyes and long golden hair. She is about to speak when they heard the chaos in the other section of the hospital. A little child have been brought in. They see that all the time. The Panacea Hospital is very big that all the section of emergency could be found there. They look out the window and found the pediatricians in the other section, going from one place to the other, so as to attend to the emergency that have just been brought in, just then, the school in Houston sent a reply to Lauren's application. They have rejected her again, since she doesn't have the full payment, she felt sad again, and tiredly went back to her seat. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''"'''''"""""'''''''''''' Lucious couldn't keep his mind straight anymore, he was so happy, he kept looking at Sydney from the corner of his eyes, he allowed his imagination grow wild, that he could see his child in front of him. "Its a girl". He says, and she smiles, for she knows that he wouldn't stop thinking about what she just told him. "I don't think so, I think I am carrying a boy". "Definitely a girl, she is going to look as beautiful as you, maybe a little more beautiful, because she is going to have the color of my hair". He says teasingly, while Sydney slapped his shoulder. "Are you saying my Brunette isn't cute? "Well... I mean....". She slapped him again, this time he gasped in pain, while she laughed it off. That is usually how they tease each other on daily basis, but on this day, Lucious is elated that he just couldn't hold himself, he just wants to get to the beach and hold her, if they haven't already planned their trip to the beach, he would have taken her somewhere else. "Why are you not saying anything? She asked him, touching his ears. "I don't want to speak to you, since you slapped me so hard, I will only speak to you, after you pacify me". She knows he is just kidding, but she also wants to play along, so she asked. "How do you want me to pacify you? She asked. "You know what I like, so do all you can to pacify me". He says, and she kissed his cheek, but he still didn't smile, then she ran her hands from his neck down to his torso, but he still didn't look any different, until her hands got to his waist line and stopped around the front zip, she stared at him and he still looked like he didn't care. She unzipped him and started to fondle with his third leg, this time, he let out a groan, which showed her that, she just got him, but he still feigned seriousness until she placed her mouth on his already erected part. He forgot he was still driving, they both got carried away, while she sucks on him, he closed his eyes to savour all that he was feeling, but by the time he opened his eyes, he couldn't avoid the big log on the road, he opened his eyes wide in fear, he tried to press hard on the brakes, but it didn't respond. Sydney looked up in fear, everything happened so fast, as the car tumbledown to the valley, no one could hear their scream of fear, until the car finally came to a stop. They didn't get to beach, and though their eyes were closed in an unconscious state, they could both hear the siren of the ambulance.Ferdinand opened the door to his room for the first time for Fonder, and she had to look at him, before entering."Why did you bring me here? She asked, even while making her way in."I just wanted you to know me for real.You have always been coming here.We talk and laugh, but you probably do not know that this same man you spend time with, have a darker side of him.That side is what I want to share with you today".Lauren wanted to be scared, but somehow, she felt this is the moment of truth.She needed to know whom she is calling her friend.When she got comfortable, Ferdinand brought out an old album and gave it to her.She knows what an album is and so she flipped through.The first picture was just Ferdinand. A younger version of him.His face doesn't look so different.She looked up at him and smiled."This is you right?He nodded.She turned to the next picture and it was still him with his parents.Though for a boy of that age, he should be smiling, taking pictures with his
Mrs Fonder spent more time with her daughter, but as soon as it was getting dark, she wanted to tell her she could leave to be with Lucious, but somehow, she still feels spending more time with her daughter was worth it. After all, it is not like they get to spend that much time."So if it is a girl, what would you name her? Mrs Fonder asked, getting comfortable on the bed."You know, I haven't really thought of it. I guess you are going to do us the honour of giving her a name? Lauren says, getting even more comfortable.She loves the change of topic."I think Annabelle is a fine name for a beautiful girl like the one in your stomach". She says touching her daughter's tummy."Have you even seen her, how do you know she is that beautiful?"How wouldn't I know.She carries yours and Lucious's blood, why wouldn't she be beautiful?Lauren smiles.That was true.Her daughter, or son will be cute, because she or he, has their blood."This is my first child, I have no experience, I have be
"I guess I owe Ferdinand an apology". She finally said, disengaging from the hug. "You don't have to worry yourself about that.I don't think he is angry with you.Just take your time and everything will fall into place". She nodded her head, but she still feels she owes the man an apology.She wanted to go, when her daughter finally leaves, but she didn't seem like she was leaving anytime soon, and she was not going to ask her to leave.She hasn't seen enough of her daughter thses past days.She has been of and on.Now that she is finally here and giving her time, she wants to make good use of it."So how is pregnancy treating you? Mrs Fonder asked, changing the topic."Well, I almost don't know or feel I am pregnant.I only notice it when she kicks". She says and smiles.Her mother smiled too, because she cannot remember them going for gender revelation test. Lauren looked away, sensing what her mother would say next."And how do you know it is a she?Lauren nodded."I knew you w
Lucious and Lauren exchanged glances.something that had started as fun had turned out to be something serious.Lauren could not stay back and expect her husband to do everything.She have not really had time for her mother, since she regained her memory.She is not even sure, her mother is fully aware that she was back for good.Did she keep her mother in the dark, the same way she had kept the world in the dark?She slapped herself countless times that Lucious had to stop her before she hurt herself.She looked into his eyes and allowed the tears to drop freely.She blames herself because of she had been giving her mother the sort of attention she deserves since they left the hospital, she wouldn't think she needs the gardener to be her lover."I need to go to her". Lauren says and Lucious nodded.That was the right thing to do.She blames her for her heartbreak and only her, can make her mother feel less of the heartbreak she was feeling at the time."She must have felt too lonely
The news came as a shock to Lauren.To hear her mother say something like that.She had portrayed herself as a woman that will never fall in love no matter the temptation or pressure she feels.Even when she needed someone to help her.When she had no one and had to carry the burden of taking care of her alone, she still didn't fall into the temptation of wanting to date, but now that they were okay.Now that they don't have to worry about anything.Even to lift something from the floor is done by others, she is now talking of dating."What? Was all Lauren could say.Lucious didn't think he should be there.He got up."I guess I will have to see you guys much later.I have people to attend to". He says about to leave, but Lauren pulled her by the hand, trying to drag her back."You know you cannot leave me alone now". He tries to signal to her that was not needed there, but he didn't seem to want to pay much attention to him."You need to be here.we need to discuss this as a famil
They were getting in the mood, when Mrs Fonder knocked at the door."Lauren, I am here to see you". She was yelling while knocking.Lucious hissed, because, she seem to always interfere at the very wrong time.She is never there when she is needed and when she is not needed, that is when she shows up."I'm coming mother". Lauren says, trying to adjust herself.At the door, she held on to the door, trying to answer her mother from the door, because Lucious have got a huge erection already, and with the little short he has on, there was no way, it wouldn't be noticed."Yes mum? She stood by the door, but Mrs Fonder had other plans."If your husband is in the room with you, then I guess I should just see the both of you together". As soon as Lucious heard that, he knew at once that she was going to enter, whether she is invited in or not.Lauren also tried to stop her mother from just opening the door and going in, but before she could do it say anything. Mrs Fonder peeked inside."Oh,
