"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.The hug got so intense.She refused to let go.She wanted to be with him.She wanted him by all means."Are you feeling better? Lucious asked, but Lauren didn't answer. She just wants to feel safe in his arms."Just hold me Lucious, and don't ask me any questions". She commanded."That was easy for him to do. Holding her and keeping quiet, is something he had longed to do, but he doesn't want her scared in anyway.Minutes passed and they were still in the same position of hugging and keeping quiet.Lucious relaxed his back to make her more comfortable, but her nighty shifted.He is no longer sure, if he will be able to keep quiet.He kissed her neck.She moved closer to him, as if hugging him wasn't close enough. The feeling was more like, she would love to enter into his body. Lucious wonders if she wants him, because if she did want him, she should be blunt, the same way she had been back at the hospital, she had shown great interest in him and ur had been so easy to understand
The next morning, the sun streamed gently through the curtains, casting golden patterns across the room.The feeling was different. She could smell the fresh cent of freshly cooked meals.clearly, she could feel the presence of a hand, across her waist, strongly protecting her. She loves the feeling, and she didn't want to open her eyes, only to discover that she had been dreaming it all.She had told herself she was not going to open her eyes, but she didn't know, closing her eyes, would help her in a way and scare her in another way.When she felt her eyes opened, it was a different ball game all together.Lauren stood at the window, staring out at the garden below. The dew still kissed the rose petals, and the birds chirped like nothing in the world could ever go wrong.That is the feeling everyone would vote for, for nothing to ever go wrong.She felt a warmth in her chest, it was a strange fluttering. It was something soft, yet familiar. Just the way she had always wanted to feel
How she managed to sleep that night still seem like a miracle.After her mother interrupted their kiss, she excused them, and though nothing happened between them again, because they didn't want anyone running into them, Lauren wished that they were alone, and so she could be herself with him.She was both scared and happy about the feeling she was having.She couldn't stop thinking about him. Even though he was close to her, she still thought of him as though he were far away.She was falling in love with him again, and it feels so good.She is feeling better, she doesn't know why she should stay back at the hospital.The hospital is meant for sick people, but for her, she feels fine, and she wants to go home, where she will have enough time with him alone.She could understand better, what she is feeling with him.She could tell, from the way he commanded everything that the guards he has in his house are more like an army, and he needs not be afraid of getting hurt, because no harm
Lucious shared the bed with Lauren and her mother.By the time she opened her eyes, the rain that had forced them to going to bed early had stopped and by the time night crept in, washing the world in soft silver moonlight. Lauren looked around her, seeing her mum and Lucious around her, meant the world to her. She had thought that if she moved, it will disturb them, but when she sat, propped up on her pillows, her hands, resting over the blanket that covered her legs. She felt healthier and calmer. The haunted look in her eyes had started to fade, they were suddenly replaced by a sudden want.Lucious, who didn't want anything to pass him by, quickly opened his eyes.Seeing her up, he asked."Are you okay?It came out as a whisper.She knew he didn't want to disturb her mother, and so she responded with a whisper too.She smiled at him. They were genuine, they were real, and they were pure.Lucious couldn't hold himself, he sat up, beside her in a cushioned chair, a soft smile on his
Lucious didn't understand what he heard, he looked up with his eyes, wide open, and she repeated herself."I saw her". Lucious was begining to lose his patience, even though it wasn't at Lauren, at himself, he wanted to quickly understand, this was no time, to give her time, he may end up losing more."Lauren dear", he moved close to her and held her hand."I saw you under the bed with your mother. At first, I didn't want to ask you why, because I felt, you were probably scared and decided to hide, but if you saw someone, please, you have to tell me".He was worried, she might not tell her, but Lauren smiled."I want to tell you, but my story, might not be complete, without my mother being here". She says.Lucious turned back, as though Mrs Fonder was standing by the door.She is now doing okay, and she might be discharged soon, but he doesn't want her going home without them. He wants to be sure, Lauren is okay, so they can all go home together."Let me go get your mother". He tell
Lauren stared straight into Lucious's eyes, while he was asleep on her hospital bed.She was feeling alright, but she is too scared to go home, because she doesn't know where she is expected to go.Will she go to her home and be with her mother, who desperately wants to see her okay, or will she go home with this man, who seem to care so much about her, and sadly, she has not been able to remember the sweet side of him, which she strongly believes exist.The attack on her, have proven that someone was after their lives, and it may not be long, before she is captured. She didn't want to tell Lucious how she ended up under the bed, he hadn't asked, and she didn't want to tell him about the face she had seen and how her mother had walked into the room earlier, to tell her to get under the bed. If she hadn't gotten under the bed, she would have probably been dead or kidnapped again.She also didn't want to get him worked up, so she just stared at him happily.He looked so peaceful and at
