Lifeless Body
Lucien got out of the company after rounding up his schedules for the day .
All he needs is a warm shower and his bed because he was damn tired from all the shoots and commercials he did today .
He drove while listening to his favorite song from Justin Bieber "Intention "
He sang along with it as he drove on steadily home .
He was obstructed on seeing a bag moving by the side of the road .
What the heck ,how can a bag move " he thought.
He tried to wave the thoughts away thinking it was hallucination but the bag moved again .
Shit he wasn't hallucinating .
He drove slowly past the bag trying to ignore it but reversed immediately to check it out.
Stepping down from the car ,he walked to the bag and bent down .
After taking a deep breath ,Lucien slowly untied it and pop
He saw a female hair .
He drew the bag down and it was a human . Her breathing was coming out slowly ,he was afraid she was dieing.
He brought her out from the bag and rushed into the car .
Having one location in mind ; the hospital :he drove to the hospital .
Lucien parked at the hospitals parking lot and rang the bell kept for emergency there .
Some nurses rushed in with a stretcher and wheeled her inside .
Lucien ruffled his hair .
His day just took another drastic turn .
"Sir the doctor wants you at his office " a nurse said tapping him.
"Ok I will be there in a jiffy "he said arranging his hair before taking same directions the nurse took before seeing the doctor's office two doors by your right .
He knocked gently and the door swung open .
Good evening doctor "he said and sat down
"Good evening ..
"Lucien ,Lucien the name is Lucien"he said in broken tones .
"Sir who is the patient to you "the doctor asked
"A friend " he said and swallowed .
He can't tell him he found her at the roadside now.
Disastrous .
"Lucien hey" the doctor said waving his hands at his face.
"You were saying sir " Lucien said
"I said she is suffering from shock and some internal bleedings . A few though . She is also at the verge of coma " the doctor explained and Lucien palmed his face .
This girl is going to be staying in the hospital for a while and damn it .
" So you have to make an instalment payment to the secretary down the hall " he said and I nodded slowly.
"Don't worry she would be fine " he said reassuring me and h muttered an okay .
He came out of the office and headed down the hall .
Lucien paid in the full amount and collected the receipt from her .
He has to go home to freshen up and sleep a bit, before going to work tomorrow
Lucien drove faster and steadily this time around and soon enough he was at his home
He got down from his car and walked to his door .
Dipping his hands into his pocket ,he brought out his bunch of key and inserted it into the lock and opened the door .
He quickly put on the lights and the house became litted up .
#home sweet home " he muttered and juggled up the stairs .
He got into his room and proceeded to get a warm bath .
There was nothing to eat for today because he freezed all his supplies that he needed .
After taking a bath ,Lucien fell on his bed and slept off .
......
The rays from the window blind pierced into Lucien's eyes as he turned .
Gosh he had slept off with just a towel
Fatigue is one bad thing .
He got down and rushed into the bathroom ,he has two shoots today and some interviews to host .
He brushed his teeth and took his bath .
Put on a casual Jean and top with a face cap .
He picked up his bag and picked clothes he would need later in the day.
After work he would head to the hospital to check out the girl he saved .
He rushed out and dropped his bag into the back seat ,hop into his car and drove off .
Today was going to be a long day for him .
......
Cara walked into Lucien's office and met him busy on his laptop but a glance at him would tell you that he was weak .
" Cara what are my schedules for today " he asked still typing on his laptop .
" I already sent it to you via email as usual " she said and Lucien palmed his face.
" I totally forgot about that " he said .
" Boss are you okay ?. Should I get you coffee " Cara asked immediately ..
" Yea sure that would help me in this state " Lucien said with an appreciative smile .
Cara turned around and walked out of the office briskly .
... . . ......
" Doctor the patient in Private Ward 4 just sneezed " Nurse Benny said and the doctor followed her immediately .
Mr Lucien had urged him to watch over the patient which was his job .
He opened the ward to meet the girl staring at him and scanning across the room .
"How are you feeling Miss " the doctor said touching her to feel her pulse .
It was beating gently and not too fast .
He checked her heartbeat and felt her temperature .
All was in good order .
"Where am I ,who am I " the patient said .
Nurse Benny looked at the doctor and sighed .
"Are you saying you can't remember anything about yourself ,how you got here " Doctor Carl asked .
" I don't even know my name " she said and tore up .
" Hey Pretty lady don't cry , I am sure your friend who brought you here can explain when he comes and we hope you don't have what we think it is " Doctor Carl said and walked out .
"Do you feel any pains in your body ,anywhere " Nurse Benny asked sitting on the chair beside her .
"I am not feeling any pains but I am damn hungry . " She said and pouted her lips .
" Cute ,what would you love to eat " Nurse Benny asked .
"I don't know anything ,just get me anything to quench this hunger . " She said and Nurse Benny laughed .
" I will be back shortly . " She said and walked out of her ward . .
.........
Lucien parked his car at the hospital's parking lot and got down . He met a nurse walking in with packs of food with her .
The nurse stopped as soon as he saw him .
" Oh Good day Lucien ,you are right in time ,your friend just woke up a while ago .Infact this edibles are for her . " She said and Lucien nodded happily .
" How is she now." He asked walking to the ward with her .
"She is fine but I think she has Amnesia ,the doctor hasn't confirmed it yet tho " Nurse Benny said .
"What ! Amnesia ! How will she know her family " Lucien screamed .
"You can take her to her family ,she is your friend right? " She said and Lucien clamped his lip shut .
He just gave himself away .
" Well I was wondering how her parent's will feel if she can't recognize them " Lucien said to cover up .
"Oh that , they would understand and besides it's temporary Amnesia " Nurse Benny said and handed over the packs of edibles to him..
" The doctor sends for me , I will be back " she said and went off .
Lucien pushed open the door and found her sleeping .
He went closer and dropped the stuffs on the bedside table .
He took a closer look at her and observed her features .
Tall and slender in height ,with pointed nose and full and curved pink lips .
With beautiful curves
She is beautiful.
She sneezed and that brought Lucien to his environment back .
She fluttered her eyelids open to reveal her hazel eyes .
She stared around and when her eyes fell on the blue eyes looking at her ,she muttered
"MY SAVIOUR ..
2
Lost memories.
She sneezed and that brought Lucien to his environment back .
She fluttered her eyelids open to reveal her hazel eyes .
She stared around and when her eyes fell on the blue eyes looking at her ,she muttered
"MY SAVIOUR .."she said and looked at Lucien .
"How do you know am your saviour, I thought you had amnesia and you were unconscious that night "Lucien said
" I can't remember anything , believe me ,who are you . Are you my friend " she asked looking at Lucien again .
" Yes too bad you can't remember me , Lucia I am your best friend "Lucien said faking some sobs .
" Where is my family" Lucia asked .
" Your family are far away in Massachusetts ,U.S.A " Lucien said hoping she believes this fountain of lies gushing out from his mouth .
" Oh thank you so much Lucien for being here for me ,I am grateful " she said and tried to sit upright .
Lucien helped her up and aided her back with the pillow on the bed.
"I will be back , I have to go see the doctor " Lucien said and Lucia nodded feeling a little excited that she had a name didn't hear him leave the ward .
The slight lock of the door brought her out of subconscious and she saw he had left the ward .
......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .
#Lucien#
" So you mean she just lost her memory for a period of time " Lucien asked the doctor who nodded his head .
"Yes and for the information,she would need your help to get her memories " the doctor said and Lucien looked at him puzzled .
" How can I do that " he asked
"You have to remember of some memories you guys shared ,take her to places you have been to together " he explained and I gulped .
What have I gotten myself into
What memories should I remind her of when j don't have any with her.
"Ok doctor I would do just that , anything for my friend " I said and stood up .
"Ok see you later ,she can be discharged tomorrow by the way " he said and I nodded slowly and quietly left his office
I walked out of the hospital slowly,I have to clear my head first before going in to see her.
A bottle of Brandy would do the trick .
I got into my car and drove out of the hospital building down to my favorite place .
While driving my phone started ringing ,I picked it up without bothering to check
"Hey dude " a husky voice echoed out of the receiver end .
I smiled on knowing who it was already .
"Derick whats up " I said.
" I am fine. Where are you ,I have been waiting at your house for the past ten minutes " he said and I scoffed.
" Stop playing games with me " I said not believing him.
He had been in the states for the past one month .
" Okay check my location,I just put it on "he said and I quickly put on my location .
Truly he was back
" Dude you are back ,an coming there now " I said and turned my wheels to the direction of my house .
" Ok I am waiting for you " he said and hung up .
I smiled happily forgetting about my hospital dilemma for a while .
I drove into my vicinity and saw Derick's car parked .
This dude wasn't joking.
I quickly hopped down and locked my car tucking the keys into my pocket .
I opened the door and found him seated sipping a glass of wine
My houeskeeper really did a nice job .
"Hey dude ,I missed you " I said and fully entered the sitting room .
" Well miss is an understatement for what I feel dude , it feels like a year " he said and I chuckled and sat down .
" So how was business there in Paris " I asked.
"Thelma ! " I called my housekeeper and she came in view .
" Welcome sir " she said and I nodded .
" Do you mind preparing something for my friend to eat , something light " I said and winked at Derick who was trying hard to punch me .
" Ok sir ,or should I just microwave the chicken sauce that was prepared before " she asked politely .
" I think you should make a fresh meal for my fresh friend "I said and she smiled and walked away .
"Your housekeeper is quite a pretty lady . " Derick said and I glared at him hard .
" Wait do you like her " he asked laughing .
"No I don't silly ,it's just weird the way you say it yunno " I said and laughed .
" Well I find her attractive " he said and i scoffed .
" Fine that's not my problem ,a bigger problem awaits me now " I said sighing .
" What problem " he asked and i ruffled my hair .
" So yesterday night while coming from work ,I saw this bag moving on the road ,it just shooked and I was really inquisitive to know what is in it ." I said and took a deep breath .
" You found a corpse in it " Derick asked interrupting me .
" Something like that but this corpse was alive and is presently in the hospital " I said and he nodded urging me to go on
" So now am in deep shit because the girl I saved can't remember her name and the doctor believes am her close friend and I need to help her regain her memory" I concluded .
"Wohoo deep shit bro ,deep shit " Derick said .
" Yeah I know because if i can't remember anything about her because I don't know her ,that means she can't regain her memories " I said and
"Yea you are right there. But let's see if there are any other means we could also use." Derick said and I sighed .
" What other means can you think of because there's nothing up there " I said pointing at his brain and he slapped my hands off .
"Come closer " he said and I came closer .
He whispered something's to my ears .
"WHAT !!" I screamed .
TBC.
3 Discharged #Lucien # " WHAT " I screamed and Derick hit my head . " How do you expect me to do that " I said and sighed . What mess did I get myself into . " Don't worry it will pass away dude ,just be hopeful ." He said and I nodded. " What hospital is she presently at " Derick asked "Louise's" I said and he nodded . "That's a nice hospital yunno " he said and I nodded. " Researches said so . So enough of my tales ,what did you get for me when coming back " I asked smiling . " Get for you ? As my wife ? Lucien stop .being silly " he said and I laughed .
" You are really not a good friend " I said and.he blew out a puff from his mouth in mockery . .......... #Cara# What a hectic day at work today . Too bad Lucien didn't come back to the office so I could see his handsome face. I so much love my boss Too bad he hasn't noticed it . I can't wait for him to finally notice me . Then we would get married and make beautiful babies . Yeah that's my fantasy and one day it would become reality and nobody would take it away from me . I would crush anyone who gets in the way . I am Cara . I got into the bathroom and took a very deserving shower for my tired body.. Tomorrow is another day . #Lucia # I bit my nails as it pulled off gently . This is one thing I have been.doing for the past two hours . I wonder where my saviour went to . He said he would soon be back right Did he leave me here The door opened immediately and Nurse Benny came inside . " Hey Lucia ,how are you doing " she said walking to my bed with a tray in her hands . " I am fine Nurse " I said and watched her drop the tray on the bed and brought out a needle like stuff which I can't remember what it's called . " Stay calm Lucia ,am about to inject you with the second dose " she said gently and I nodded . She tied a rope like stuff around my hands and sprinkled some cold stuff on my hand and rubbed it a bit before pushing in the stuff . " Ouch it hurts " I yelped " Calm down Lucia ,it would soon be over " she said and in another Swift second she pulled the stuff out . " I am done " she said and released a loving smile . " Ok thanks ,can I ask a question " I asked rubbing the nape of my neck. " Yeah sure ,go on " she said arranging her stuffs in the tray . " Why do you have this smiling face all the time . Don't you ever get angry " I asked and she laughed . " Well I am a nurse Lucia and as a nurse ,I have to give the best cheerful mood to my patients every time . Happiness heals faster also " she said and I nodded . " Ok thank you so much " I appreciated . " No problem Lucia . Oh before I forget . Lucien said he won't be able to return to the hospital this evening but tomorrow he would be here as soon as you are discharged " She said calmly and I knitted my brows . " I would be discharged tomorrow " I said in happiness . " Yes you would be dearie " nurse Benny replied. I can't wait to be discharged . The smell of this place kind of annoys me . " I will see you later ,got to check on other patients in the other wards " Nurse Benny said and picked up her tray and exited the ward . Ok that was fast . ..... 6Am #Lucien# I looked at my wrist watch and the time ticked 6 am I have to rush to work quickly so I can clear some stuffs before going to the hospital to pick Lucia .. Then after which I would have a club night at Derick's place to celebrate his homecoming over a few bottles of champagne . That's all I gat for today I picked up my phones and keys before coming out if the room. " Good morning boss " Thelma greeted. " Good morning Thelma . What do I get for breakfast" I asked walking down the stairs with her . " Scrambled eggs and some toasted bread with a glass of juice " she highlighted . "Perfect " I said and took my seat on the dinning. After taking some bites from my bread and sipping some juice . I wiped my face with the serviette and stood up . "Thelma you can clear up the table , I am done " I said picking up my phones which I had earlier dropped on the dinning table before eating . " Good bye boss . Have a splendid day at work " Thelma said clearing up the dishes . "Thank you " I replied and got out of the house . Phew beautiful day ahead. I got into my car , ignited the car and drove out of my house . My phone rang and I picked it while driving . " Hello Cara." I answered. It was my secretary I listened to her as she spok
