Chapter 2 TWO

"I am off dad" a bubbly young girl of twenty two rushed out of her room in a black Jean and blue shirt while she had a black cap on her head. This was Amy, the eldest daughter of the Winston couple and she had a very bubbly character making everyone she came across like her. "Did you pack your lunch?" Her junior brother of seventeen asked as he walked out of his own room. It was just a two room apartment but it still felt like him. While her parents shared one, she turned the store into her own beautiful room and allowed her brother to use the other.

Amy's eyes opened wide in horror as she heard his question, "I don't want to take lunch to the library Rome '' she whispered but he was not going to hear her excuse this time around. She was always looking for ways to avoid taking lunch. "Mum" Rome called, "she has refused to take her lunch again" "You should be siding with me" Amy pouted but instead he laughed at her. A few seconds later, her mum arrived at the door and she had her lunch box with her. "I already told you not to purposely skip lunch Amy, won't you even listen to your own mother?" Mrs Winston feigned annoyance and her two kids laughed. She was always overly dramatic. "Of course mum, I will take the lunch box with me everyday. Now I have to go" saying that she kissed them goodbye and hurried away on her scooter. Amy worked at the city's main library and earned a hundred bucks per hour which was already enough for a contented girl like her. While her father was a retired mailman and her mother was a pro at making yarn, they all lived happily and supported her brother who was in college. They didn't have much but at least they were all content with the life they had. "You should also prepare for college, I will fix up your breakfast" Mrs Winston said after her daughter's scooter was out of sight but Rome declined. "No mum, I don't have classes today. I know Amy left her room scattered again so I will help her arrange it and weed the garden" She smiled at her son before going back into the kitchen to fix her husband's breakfast. God blessed her with the most beautiful family on earth. "Tell your father to come out for breakfast" "Okay" Rome answered and went in the opposite direction. ................................................................................................................................................. Amy hastily walked into the library, it was almost packed full and the chief Librarian's lips curved up into a smile as she saw Amy. "I am sorry I am late ma'am, there was a lot of traffic" she immediately apologized. "It's okay moreover it's not such a tedious work by the way" The Liberian also known as Mrs Peters was a woman in her late forties and she looked very pretty and composed and she was also very kind to her and Amy loved her a lot. Because of her bubbly nature, the universe chose to provide her with people who equally loved her as much. "Your mother called and told me to make sure you eat your lunch" "Ughh" Amy pouted, "I am not a kid anymore" "You still are" They continued with their chit chat as the library got filled up. This was her everyday routine, from work straight home. Then at times she hung out with her best friend. Speaking of her best friend, Amy took out her phone and dialed a number, the person from the other end answered almost instantly. "I can see you were waiting for my call" "Come of it" Jenna answered mockingly, Jenna was her best friend's name, "I was about to call you" "You sound worried, what is the matter?" Jenna sighed,"mum just called me and apparently I have to go visit my grandmother in the hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetes and I have to go visit her" "Oh grandma Wendy, such a bright soul," Amy exclaimed. "So are you coming? "I will meet you outside your house after work and we can go together on my scooter" "Thank you best friend, I knew I could count on you" "What are friends for?" Amy asked, "well I gotta go... bye" then she pressed the end button. "Grandma Wendy came down with diabetes" she told Mrs Peters and the latter shook her head in sympathy. "I hope she gets better, I enjoy chatting with her a lot" "I hope so too," Amy said sincerely. ..... It was already past three in the afternoon when Amy's scooter came to a halt in front of her best friend's house and she could see Jenna hastily descending down the stairs hurriedly. "What is pursuing you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well, I still have to go to your house and see my uncle and aunt. It's been a while" "Yes, yes. Hop on and let's ride" The two of them were practically sisters and both their parents knew them. For close to fifteen years, they were both friends and helped each other a lot. Jenna's family was more well off than Amy's but that didn't get in the way of their friendship. "The hospital seems busy today" Jenna exclaimed as they both alighted from the scooter. "The hospital is always a busy place, block head" Amy teased as they made their way into the hospital then to the reception. "How may we help you?" The receptionist asked politely. "We are here to see Wendy. Wendy Mattew's" Jenna answered while Amy kept looking around the hospital until her eyes fell on a certain someone but she quickly looked away. "The second floor, room 305. Take the elevator" "Thank you" The elevator was already packed full by the time they arrived having space for only one person. "You should go, I will grab the next one" "Come soon," Jenna said before the elevator doors closed. After waiting for a while, none was available but then she noticed one at the far end of the hallway then she hastily walked towards it. The moment she pressed the button, Amy came in contact with the world's most handsome creations. Why did the men look so pretty and handsome all together?Did they come out of a fairytale or what? One was dressed all white and he leaned on the elevator walls lazily with his hands in pocket while his hair was tied into a ponytail beautifully while the other man had a more complicated look in his eyes but his hair was let down. The one dressed in white had a kingly demeanor while the other one also had a complex aura emanating from him but they were both drop dead gorgeous. The moment her face came into view, the two of rhsm kept staring at her like she was some kind of alien in her simple clothing and big goggles. The man dressed in white sized her from head to toe and he didn't find anything pleasant while the other just kept looking without any expression on his face. "May I?" Her voice sounded so soft and Adonis found himself looking at her for a split second before he gently turned away and didn't answer. "Excuse me miss, that elevator is for private use only" one of the receptionist hurried over, "sorry doctor Adonis, sorry Mr zeth" she apologized and turned to Amy, "this way" With one last look, she followed the nurse away but the faces of those beautiful men were still fresh in her mind. "Must you always look dead?" zeth asked the moment the doors closed again. "Don't talk to me zeth" he hissed and closed his eyes, they still had a couple of floors to go so he could as well enjoy the serenity of the place. zeth who knew better didn't say anything again but his gaze continued to linger on Adonis. .............. When Amy entered grandma Wendy's room, the old lady was happily chatting with her granddaughter and the two of them looked well acquainted. "Why did you take so long?" Jenna pouted. "I kinda took the wrong elevator but I am here now" Amy explained before going over to the woman on the bed, "how are you feeling now grandma?" "I feel much better after seeing the two of you. "You should hurry and get well grandma, Mrs peters sends her greetings" The trio continued their chit chat until the door opened and a tall pretty doctor dressed all white entered and Amy immediately recognized him as the man from the elevator. So he was the doctor in charge of grandma Wendy but why did he look like he didn't even want to be here? "Patient 4067?" Adonis asked the woman, he didn't even acknowledge any of them. "Yes" grandma Wendy answered while ogling at him, she was old but oh boy this doctor was hot. "Your test results are out and I am filling in for the doctor who is supposed to take care of your case. Aside from the diabetes, you are at a risk of developing Parkinson disease so we have to start your treatment before it gets worse" "I will do what you say doctor" Wendy was in a dreamy state and the two girls noticed. "Stop doing that grandma" Jenna whispered, "that's sexual harassment" Adonis raised his eyebrows when heard what she said but he didn't say anything and proceeded to keep the chart on the table, "the nurse will come in an hour to administer your medications" he said and turned to go but Amy stopped him. "So what about her diabetes? You didn't say anything about that" "You should ask the doctor in charge" "You said he is not available at the moment" Adonis massaged the space between his eyes, who was this lady that was making him talk more than necessary? "You can check with the hospital head nurse" he answered after a while" then he turned on his heel and walked away not even looking back. "He looks rude," Amy snickered. "It's always the hot ones," grandma Wendy said in a dreamy voice. "Ewwww, that's gross" the two girls cringed. ............... In Adonis's office. Zeth was no longer in his office when he entered and Adonis was glad. He hated the fact that zeth stuck to him like glue, now he had his office to himself. Pulling his lab coat, he dropped it on one of the sofas and went to sit on his revolving chair then he faced the window. He was on the twelfth floor so he could see almost everywhere from where he was seated. Closing his eyes, the images in his dreams began to appear in his memories again. This time he didn't open his eyes and allowed them to torment him as much as they wanted, he deserved it anyways. Ths soft knock on his door made him open his eyes slowly. "Come in" his deep voice resonated around the room and when he saw the person who entered, he almost flared up. Did she follow him all the way here to annoy him? "Excuse me" Amy's meek voice reached his ears and he sat up. "What do you want now?" " I asked the head nurse and she referred me to you again" Adonis hissed silently, he was talking more than necessary and he hated it. "Are you dumb?" He asked after a while and she was taken aback. "Excuse you?" "I am the doctor in charge of her case so I know what I must do so why are you bothering me?" "Oh excuse me" her savage mood was already activated, "you didn't make it clear, did you" For a moment Adonis was quiet as he examined the lady in front of him. She was dressed casually and didn't look interesting at all but she had a pretty good height, then she would have looked a bit more attractive if she didn't wear those Weird goggles. "Just go, I am in charge of her" he said after a while, he didn't want to speak to her again. "Then you should make that clear next time and not mislead others" Just as she turned to go, everything around her began to blur and she collapsed on the floor right by the door. Adonis almost went mad with rage, what the hell was happening?Was she pretending now?He was a doctor but he didn't feel like helping the talkative on the floor but he knew he had too. Standing up, he walked over to her and felt her pulse. "The stubborn ones never eat" he muttered under his breath as he lifted her and placed her on the sofa, surprisingly, she was very light. He could have called a doctor or even the hospital director to come and take her but he was just too lazy to do that. Hence he went down to the cafeteria on his own floor and grabbed a cup of coffee and some doughnuts for her. Everyone at the cafeteria were happy to see him as some of them openly lusted after him but none had the mind to go near him. By the time he got back to the office, the lady was already awake and she had an awkward look on her like she wanted to cry. "What happened?" Amy asked immediately as he entered the office and a part of him wished she was still unconscious. "If you learned how to eat then maybe you will not faint in my office" he retorted and placed the package in front of her, "get your blood pressure checked too" saying that, he walked into his private condo and closed the door with a loud bang obviously signifying he didn't want to be in her presence anymore. ............ When Amy walked back to grandma Wendy's room, Jenna had a worried look on her face when she saw how pale her friend looked. "What happened?" "Nothing, I just feel a bit unwell" she found it awkward to tell her friend she fainted in that weird doctor's office. "You look so pale," grandma Wendy added. "It's nothing grandma, I will just take a lot of rest vegan I get home" she paused then she remembered something, " I talked to the doctor and he is the one In charge of your case too" "The pretty one?" "Stop it grandma" Jenna reprimanded. After staying with the old lady for a few more hours, the two girls drove away on the scooter but the incident that happened in the hospital was still fresh in her mind. She would never skip her lunch again no matter what. While they were driving away, a certain someone was standing near his window and he seemed to be having a different thought than usual but his musing was cut short when we knew who entered. "This is a first," zeth said as he made himself comfortable on the sofa. "I thought you left for county M?" "You can't get rid of me that easily, Adonis," he mocked. "Get ready, I want you to accompany me somewhere" zeth was lost for words, this was the first time Adonis was ever asking him to go somewhere with him. "Or don't you wanna go?I thought you enjoyed following me around?" "Not exactly Adonis, I just enjoy watching your torture" the latter answered with a smirk. "Very well then, you will get a good show of it today itself" Without saying anything again, the two of them walked towards his private elevator while a few of the nurses ogled at them as usual.
