OLIVIA."Tell me everything that had happened dear." Mom cajoled me. I was seated on the side of her hospital bed. Her hands were firmly held in mine and judging by how strong they were, I could tell that she was okay and getting better. Even her pale skin had added a little bit of color and she looked more alive than ever. I loved that she was okay. I loved that I got to see her like this. It means so much to me. "I've missed out so much that I think that I've been jetlagged." She laughed but I could see the pain through her eyes. She was hurt that she had been admitted here all her life.Mom was the type of person who loved fun. She loved to hang out and she was a sucker for romance and everything that would put a smile on her face. She loved being adventurous. She loved to travel and take the world under her feet. That's why when the news of her being diagnosed with cancer came into light, she couldn't bear it at all. It was like a piece of her had been removed and buried. Not to
OLIVIA."I can't wait to be discharged from this hospital. I'll feel so much at peace when I leave this shithole." Mom cussed and I couldn't help but laugh."Language mama. We're in a hospital." I hushed her like a child but she only smiled. We had been discussing non stop and for the first time in ages, I feel a lot lighter than I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like a new me had been reborn and I couldn't help the sudden rush of adrenaline in my veins at the moment. Everything was slowly falling into place. Clinton thought that he had me in a bind when he had refused to treat mother but I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that she is very much alive and well."You don't think I know that. It feels so good to cuss out once in a while and I feel so extremely happy about it.""Judging by the happy smile on your face, I can tell that you do. It's showing. Just look at how much you're glowing." I teased and she laughed at my efforts of trying to be funny.
DAVION.I stepped into the ward just in time to hear Olivia backlashing me. At first I stopped to listen because I had found it funny that she would even address me in such manner in which I never expected her to.When we arrived at her mother's door, that's when it hit me that I had come empty handed on my first visit to see her. I was supposed to get something at least. It shows that I was being thoughtful and pretty much respectful. Besides, I would do anything to get on Olivia mom's good side. If she vounched for me then it would definitely make a lot of sense in getting her to like me.And that was the reason why I had left without informing her only to come back to the fact that I was now the center of the topic. It felt nice to know that she was talking about me. She never does that and most times, it left me wondering if she indeed sees me as a man or not.Stealthily, I walked into the ward and her mother spotted me. I signalled her to not say a word and to let Olivia continu
DAVION.Olivia watched as I fed her mother. I know that she wasn't happy with it but I couldn't do anything about it. Her mother had specifically chosen me to feed her and I had simply obliged to the request made by her. It wasn't my fault that I was the chosen one now."I really want to go home." She whined. "It'll be better taking care of myself at home than being cooped up here.""Mom, we've already talked about this. You can't leave. The doctor won't let you because you're not properly healed yet don't you see." Olivia tried to explain but her mother only sucked up like a child. Now I could definitely see the resemblance."I know but still, it wouldn't hurt to hope.""You're sick mom and besides Olivia is right." I chirped in. "You still have to go through a full evaluation and until we're given a go ahead by the doctors to discharge you, we really can't do anything to help you.""You call her mom now?" Olivia asked in surprise."Is that the only thing you heard in all my speech?
DAVION."Did I keep you waiting for long?" I asked as soon as I approached Olivia leaned on the body of my car as she waited for me. She shifted her feet uncomfortably and I could tell that they were sore from standing too long. She had been wearing heels all morning and I scared that her feet might've been hurt too.She shook her head no with a tired smile when she saw me walking up to her. "You didn't. I don't mind actually.""I'm sorry if I did. I just needed to sort some issues out with the hospital before we left." I explained, hoping that she would see reasons and not get upset if she already was."It's okay Davion. I'm fine really" She assured me. Her shoulders lifted up slightly in sheer happiness. "I actually haven't felt so good in a while. I didn't even realize that you were still inside and besides, you didn't take long so don't beat yourself up about it.""Alright. Let's go?" I asked and she nodded yes. It was already night time and the only bright lights coming from out
DAVION."Don't leave, Please." She mumbled over and over again and I found myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Just how on earth am I supposed to survive a temptation just like this one? Maybe I made a mistake by bringing her here all by myself? Maybe I should've woken her up but I just couldn't. Not after all the bruises that were scattered on feet.I didn't want her to walk on them because I knew just how much they hurt and that's why I had prompted to bring her up here myself and now I'm caught between a rock and a hard place."Olivia let go." I pleaded and reached out to remove her hands from my shirt where she had held me tightly."Please." She mumbled again. Her voice soft and drowsy. I can't imagine how cute she looked when she was asleep. I think sleeping is now my favourite position of her because she wasn't arguing and bickering like she used to."Olivia, you need to rest okay. It's been a long day and i need to go back home as well." I explained as though she cou
DAVION."You look very happy today." Karla said with a wide grin as she approached me. I had just stepped into the building and judging from the bag in one hand and the Starbucks on the other, I could tell that she was just coming to work as well."I'm always happy." I retorted."Yeah but not this happy. You look like you just won the lottery." She mused and took a sip from the cup as we both made our way towards the elevator."Well I don't need to win a lottery before I can be this happy and don't be a hater Karla. I've never known you to be one before." I smiled at her and she crunched her face. The elevator door opens and we stepped in. She punched the buttons to our floor and I sighed as we started our way up."I'm not a hater." She primped. "I'm just so shocked to see you smiling like this. You're not the type to smile and even if you did, it was always for the wrong reasons. You know, like hades. Come to think of it, I think you're the hades of our generation."I arched a brow
DAVION."I don't understand what you're trying to say." I answered her question while I tried my very best to avert my gaze and focus on the task at hand so that she doesn't catch on to anything."I mean, I remember falling asleep in your car but then I woke up in my bedroom and I don't know how I got there.""I carried you there." I responded casually. My hands holding the pen firmly as though I wanted to squeeze the life out of it. Damn!"You carried me there?" She questioned. "Hope it wasn't too much trouble and I hope that I didn't do something stupid." She cried out feeling embarrassed.I laughed. No honey, I would never consider what you did as stupid. It was beautiful and quite charming at the same time. She looked so cute being shy and I could stare at her all day and not get tired of doing so. Why couldn't she just read between the signs that I wanted her. Why wouldn't she just let me in? Why was she constantly trying to fight this? To fight us?"Why do you want to know if y
