The Mafia's Darling

MILAN, ITALY< PRESTON HOSPITAL**

The whistling of the ambulance could be heard as it drove fast to the hospital, it stopped it front of it as three interns came out with a paramedic.

The back door of the ambulance was opened in a flash and the stretcher was pulled out, on top of it is an unconscious man who looks lifeless.

The stretcher was pushed hastily into the hospital and he was transformed from the stretcher to the bed.

"He fell from his bed and collapsed just this morning" The paramedic said.

"Call doctor Mateo, fast!" A doctor said to one of the paramedic as he started giving shocks in joules to the unconscious patient.

"Doctor Mateo is not in the hospital currently" the intern replied.

"Then call another available doctor!" The doctor replied on haste as he continued shocks to the patient and soon, his vitals came back.

The doctor breathed heavily as the patient started breathing again.

MINUTES LATER, A ROOM IN THE HOSPITAL**

Close to ten doctors are sitting while looking at the screenplay revealing the patient's organs.

"Scan shows that his internal organs and tissues has bulged through his weak muscle areas" a doctor said pointing at the screen showing the man's internal organs.

"That's hernia" a voice said, entering the room.

"Doctor Brandon!" The analyzing doctor said as Brandon walked majestically into the room.

"Can't believe you guys are still here standing like this, he is dying, surgery should have started by now" Brandon said.

"Stop talking as if the rest of us never went to school" a doctor replied.

"Well that's how I talk, any problem with that? Now who's ready to perform surgery on this patient?" He asked, dipping his hand in the trouser pocket.

Everyone went mute and not even a single word is heard in the room.

"I'll handle the surgery" another doctor said, entering the room.

Brandon looked back and saw Mateo and Heather just entering the room.

Heather is hospital's president daughter who is also a doctor while Mateo is another doctor in the hospital, one of the best.

"Oh, cool" Brandon smiled, facing them.

Heather smiled at him but he never returned it.

He walked past Mateo as he left the room and Gabe him one daring glare, Mateo stated at him hatefully too and Heather had to intervene before they stopped.

"The surgery" Heather said and Mateo left the room immediately to prepare for the surgery.

"Why is it that the two of you are always at odds with each other? You two are the best here, so you should be on good terms" Heather said.

"Never compare him with me, I'm Brandon and he is Mateo" he replied, before leaving.

He we t straight to his office and lightened a cigar which he puffed on for a long time. He blew out the smoke and walked around his office.

"Mateo Klein, that bastard" He said to himself.

*****

THEATER**

A surgery session is going on with doctor Mateo as the lead surgeon and Heather as the assistant surgeon, on the man with hernia.

The surgery is going well at first and the doctors are impressed with their ongoing performance till the patient's vitals started deteriorating.

"His vitals" Heather said quickly.

"Defibrillators" Mateo said, and it was handed to him.

"30 joules, charge" he said.

"Set" an intern replied and be gave the shock.

"50 joules, charge"

"Set"

He gave the shock again but the vitals were still falling.

"60 joules, charge"

"Set"

He gave the shock again but still no response.

Hopes are already lost when he came back to life at 80 joules.

"His vitals are back" Heather said, inhaling hard.

Mateo dropped the defibrillators and exhaled.

"Forceps" he said and it was handed to him. He was about to start work again when the haemorrhage started.

Mateo dropped for a while and looked up at the doctors that are watching.

President Remington is just sitting there and when their eyes met, he saw the look of disappointment on his face.

"I don't think you can do this Mateo, call for doctor Brandon" Heather said and a call was put through to him. In minutes, Brandon showed up, fully dressed up.

He smiled at Mateo as he walked past him.

"Don't underestimate me, if you keep doing that, you'll keep losing" Brandon said and Mateo left the theater furiously.

Brandon took over the surgery and Heather smiled.

"Gauze" he said and it was given to him, he stopped the haemorrhage and continued the surgery.

Within twenty minutes, he was done.

"Close him up" he said and left the theater.

Heather followed him out, and stopped him at the hallway.

"You did well, Brandon" She said with a smile.

"I know, you can help me tell that Mateo" he replied.

"How cocky" Heather said, holding his hand.

"We both know who is cocky. I live in a free and I've never dreamt of the future so I'm just... free" he replied and removed his hand from her hold.

"Let's eat lunch together" Heather said.

"No" he replied, and left. Heather smiled and watched him till he was out of sight.

"His personality is so unpredictable" she said looking at the hand she held him with.

Brandon got a call from his dad immediately he entered his office, he picked and waited for him to speak.

"Tonight, 9pm, Firdaus port, they are from Indonesia and they may try to play smart, if that happens, finish them, I'll send Reagan with you" Zelda voice said and hung up straight.

Zelda Greg is his father.

Brandon dropped his phone and lightened another cigarette.

"Save and kill, funny life?" he smirked.

BLISS COLLEGE**

"That will be all for today, see you guys in the next class" Professor Jayden said after concluding his class.

"Yes sir!" the students replied as he left the class.

Nirvana yawned slightly and adjusted her glasses.

"I'm so hungry, grandma was telling me to eat before leaving the house in the morning but I declined, now I'm facing the consequences" she said.

"You ate two plates of Chicken Marsala at the cafeteria this morning" Farrell said from her right.

"That's nowhere near my normal breakfast" Nirvana replied, adjusting her glasses again.

"Are you an eating machine? Two plates of Chicken Marsala is nowhere near you normal breakfast? You mean to tell me that your normal breakfast would have been five plates" Jamison said from her left.

Farrell and Jamison are her two best friends and only friends in the department, though Jamison is a guy.

She looked at Jamison then Farrell.

"I'm Nirvana, I'm born to eat and grow" She flaunted her hair as they walked out of the class.

"I'll get tired of your heavy eating one day, you're a full package" Farrell replied and someone suddenly bumped into Nirvana, making her glasses fall.

It turned out to the Shawn, the arrogant dude, the most brilliant in their department.

"Oh, sorry" He said and made to go but Farrell pulled him back.

"What? Why the hell would you pull my shirt?" Shawn asked.

Farrell moved closer to him and smiled like a warning sound.

"Pick up her glasses" She said.

"It's not intentional, not like I pushed into her, I bumped into her" Shawn replied and made to go again but Jamison blocked him this time.

"Pick... the... glasses" Jamison said.

Students are already gathering to watch.

"Are you guys serious right now? Out of my way" Shawn replied arrogantly.

"Guys, it's fine" Nirvana replied staying on her spot, because without the glasses, her vision are blurry.

"You guys are just jealous because I'm the best student in the department" Shawn said, laughing loudly.

"Who gets jealous of a guy with stinking mouth?" Farrell asked and everyone gasped.

"What did you say?" Shawn asked.

Farrell picked the glasses and out in on for Nirvana before facing Shawn again.

"You mouth smells, it reeks, it stings, get a toothbrush and stop attempting murder with the squench oozing out of it" Farrell replied.

Though it's not true, but badmouthing arrogant students is Farrell's speciality.

The students around laughed at the drama.

Shawn stood there dumbfounded and Farrell smiled.

"Nitwit" she mouthed.

"Let's go, guys" She said, and left with Nirvana and Jamison.

They settled down at the cafeteria and Jamison stuck hands with Farrell.

"Your bad-mouth is a top notch" Jamison said.

"I know, right? Shawn deserves it for being a nitwit" She replied.

"Thanks for standing by me, guys" Nirvanva said.

"It's ok, so what should we have?" Jamison said.

"I want two plates of spaghetti and meatballs" Nirvana replied.

"What!!" Farrell and Jamison screamed.

"Tell me is there a barrel in your stomach?" Jamison said.

"And the most surprising thing is that no matter how you be at, you'll always remain small as a mosquito" Farrell replied.

"Whatever" Nirvana replied.

The waiter came and they ordered what they want, where he was away together them, Farrell and Jamison chatted, while Nirvanva stared at her phone, staring at the pictures of her crush while smiling, though most is it is not clear, they are pictures she took while stalking him.

Farrell suddenly grabbed the phone from her and she jumped up.

"Oh, you crush again? Gosh you're still stalking this doctor?" Jamison said.

"I can't help it" Nirvana replied.

"He must be around twenty two or so, Nirvana you are nineteen" Jamison said.

"Who says she matters?" Nirvana asked, smiling broadly.

"Look Nirvana, I know you have a premature brain but you should use it efficiently. How can you love someone like him? A professional doctor to you, an history student in her first year" Farrell replied and Jamison hit her shoulder.

"That premature brain is exactly what you babe, not her" He said.

Farrell shot him a glare before facing Nirvana again.

"Listen Nirvana, stop this before I report you to your strict grandma" Farrell said.

"No, not till he notices me. You don't dare report me to grandma" Nirvana replied.

"I don't even want to talk about it anymore, because I now you'll never listen. Give me you brother's number" Farrell said.

"Now you see what I'm talking about, my brother is twenty one and you're nineteen yet you're crushing on him, well I'm not giving it to you, walk up to him and ask him yourself" Nirvana replied and started eating when the ordered foods came.

"Nirvana" Farrell poured and Jamison giggled.

*****

PAST 8PM, A SILENT ROAD**

Brandon is in his car, smoking like usual and it seems like he's waiting for someone.

He checked his phone and dropped it.

"It's almost time, why is Reagan not here?" He said.

Someone knocked his car window and he looked up and saw its Reagan.

He opened the door at the other side and she came in.

"Keeping to time is out of your league" He said.

"Maybe, just like how living like a normal human is out of you league" She replied.

"I'm not a normal human... you can say that again" Brandon said.

"You're really something else" Reagan replied.

Reagan is the only lady among his dad's workers and she's the smartest, maybe after Brandon. So they are close because they do most of the jobs together.

They got to Firdaus's place and Brandon used his mask which covered all his face except his eyes.

"Is that really necessary? You should reveal your bloody face one day" Reagan said, getting out of the car with him after they kept their guns in their belt straps.

"My life is different from my dad's life, my life in the hospital and home is mine but my during my missions, my life belongs to my dad. I hate living two lives with the same face" He replied.

Reagan stared at him for a while before smiling. Even with the mask, she can feel that "I don't care" look on his face.

"They're here" Brandon said as up to seven men came out of the ferry in the river.

"Seven? Something smells fishy" Reagan said.

"They'd probably try something, but I'm bad" Brandon smiled under his mask.

No speech must be uttered between the two parties during the transaction, so Reagan the briefcase containing the goods while they handed them the briefcase containing the money to her.

Brandon watched like an hawk and noticed one of them dipping his hand into his pocket stealthily.

He kept staring at him unnoticed till he pulled out a gun suddenly. He shot first but Brandon gave it back, bringing him down with just a bullet.

The remaining six men continued striking as bullet started raining.

Obviously, there are trying to take the money too even after getting the goods.

Reagan jumped over the car and landed on the other side then started shooting too.

Brandon stood his ground gallantly, dodging bullets like stones, somersaulting, jumping, rolling, bending where necessary.

Gunshots filled the all area and soon, five were brought down out of six.

The remaining one tried to run away to the ferry but Brandon followed him.

He pointed his gun directly to his forehead.

"You think my boss will spare you and your dad? If you kill me, you'll die!!" The guy ranted.

Probably blabbering in place of pleading.

"Really?" Brandon asked, enjoying the talk.

"Yes, and you, only cowards don't show their face, you're a coward!!" He blurted.

Brandon bent beside him and pulled off his mask, revealing his face, the guy gasped in shock.

"I cover my face for the safety of people like you, but now that you have seen my face, I won't spare you" Brandon said and shot him in the forehead immediately.

"Bloody idiot" He said and came out of the ferry.

"Planted a bullet in his balls?" Reagan asked.

"Somewhere better" Brandon replied, feeling much heat, he took off his shirt without warning and that revealed his sexy and and the gorgeousness of his arm tattoos.

Reagan swallowed hard and quickly looked away.

"Must you be a douchebag all the time?" Reagan asked.

Brandon held her face and turned her to himself, making her look straight into his eyes. Reagan had to hold her breath that moment.

"Are you trying to make me blush? Too bad it didn't work" she said and Brandon smiled dangerously.

"I'm know I'm hot, don't trip" He said and winked before entering the car.

His job is done, he doesn't like going to his dad's house, they only talk on phone and unless it's a pressing issue, so it's Reagan who delivers to Zelda.

He drove off and Reagan smiled.

"Asswipe" She said as another car came for her.

She got in and drove off.

*****

"Where's boss?" Reagan asked the gallant guards in the living room when she entered Zelda's house

"In the power room" one of them replied and she head directly to the power room with the two bags on her hands

The power room is like a warehouse where all the goods, drugs are packaged before they'll take them for delivery

"You came back early" Zelda said Immediately she entered

She dropped the two bags on the table

One contains the drugs while the other contains the money

"They tried shit but we turned them to shit" Reagan said and Zelda smiled

" So Ben's men tried to play f*ck, but it's great, you did the f*cking right thing, they should have known I'm dangerous than trying shit, where's Brandon?" He asked as he directed one of the hitmen in the room to take the two bags

"He left" Reagan replied

"He's really one f*vking son, I dunno why a son will be irritated by his dad's face" Zelda said

" You probably don't like him too Lord Zelda" Reagan said

"You can say that again, we hate each other but he only obeys me, isn't that funny?" Zelda said, looking back at Reagan

"f*cking funny" Reagan said, smiling lightly

" Delivery is 8pm tomorrow, Freedom shore, the Pakistani are coming for their goods, inform Brandon" Zelda said, taking a smoke from one of his hitmen

"Yes Lord" Reagan said and took a bow before leaving

Her house is not too far from Zelda's house so she got there after five minutes drive

She dialled Brandon's line immediately she came in and he picked fast

"Missed me?" He said

"My foot, well another delivery by 8pm tommorow at freedom shore, we meet at the juncture in your street" she said

" Too bad I'm changing houses tommorow, I'm moving into a new apartment" he replied

" What the freaking f*ck, so sudden" she said

"I hate this too but I gat to do it, I suddenly lost interest in my current house so I'm moving out tommorow morning" he replied

" So what's your new address?" She asked

"14, Infinity close" he replied, she can almost smell smoke from the phone as he spoke

"Smoking again huh?" She said

"Even if I burn my liver, I ain't stopping, I don't have a future so I don't care if I die tomorrow or the next day after that, I can even die now, I don't care" Brandon said

" Now I know you're f*cking senseless" Reagan said

"there's no f*cking way a professional doctor will be senseless, I cure a lot of diseases and perform countless successful surgeries everyday" he replied cockily

"And you kill everyday" Reagan replied.

"Save and kill, that's my two speciality, and that's why I'm f*cking dangerous secretly" he replied

" Yeah I know, I wonder how your hospital president will react when he learns that the best surgeon in his hospital is a mafia's heir who kills on a daily basis" Reagan said

"where are we gonna meet at tommorow?" He asked, changing the topic

" I'll stay at the road that leads to your new street, meet me there, need me to come and help you with packing tommorow?" She asked

" No, Paxton and the men I hired will be enough" he replied and hung up .

Reagan dropped the phone and smiled

"He's, unpredictable and.... even at that I can't deny the fact that he's f*cking handsome" she thought, remembering his bare body from the other time as she entered the bathroom for a night shower

******

THE MERRICKS**

The door pushed open and Nirvana peeped in to see if grandma Kara is not in the living room so she can sneak in but she's unlucky

Grandma Kara is sitting as sternly as usual in the living room

"Oh gosh, I'm in trouble" she said to herself and closed her eyes, on the count of one to three she rushed in and knelt in front of grandma

"Grandma I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have come home late I know but Farrell needed to change her wardrobe so I had to follow her to the boutique, we spent so much time there and that's why I'm late, I'm so sorry" she pleaded

" I think I told you you must not stay out till past eight, this is past nine, is Farrell important than me?" Grandma Kara said sternly

" I'm so sorry grandma, I won't do it again" she pleaded, adjusting her glasses and Grayson giggled from the dinning room

"Your eyes aren't good enough to stay late nights, and you refused to go for surgery, I'm just, being concerned" Kara said

"Grandma I'm sorry" Nirvana said again

"And in the morning, you refused to eat before leaving for school" Kara said

"I ate at the school cafeteria" she replied

"Of course you'd have eaten,I know you don't joke with your stomach but this mustn't happen again, now you need to go freshen up and come back for dinner" Kara said

"No grandma, I'll eat before i freshen up , I'm starving a lot" she replied and stood, she pecked Kara after hugging her

"Love you grandma!" She said and rushed to Grayson in the dining room, Grayson is her senior brother

She sat on his laps and pecked his chin

"Much love my Grayson" she smiled

"I love you baby sis, how was school?" He asked

"It was fun with Farrell and Jamison, they saved me when a punk tried to disturb" she replied

"You're too cute for any disturbance" Grayson said, removing her glasses

"Well maybe Shawn is too blind to see that, wear my glasses for me, I can't see a damn thing" she said and Grayson chuckled before putting on the glasses for her again

He kissed her hair and Kara looked back at them

"Nirvana I think I told you to go freshen up and come back for dinner" she said

"Ok grandma!" She replied and quickly rushed upstairs

Kara gave Grayson a blank look before taking off her glasses

Nirvana got upstairs and dropped her backpack on the bed then changed into comfy woolen sweaters that reached her mid thigh

She's about to go back downstairs when she remembered her crush

She picked her phone and went to gallery to check his pictures again

That's what she does almost everytime, staring at his pictures

She stared as usual and admired him more

"Everytime I look at his pictures, I fall in love more and more, gosh!, Age is not a problem, I just love this doctor" she said, blushing heavily at his handsomeness

"His gentle face depicts that he'll be gentle himself, though I love stubborn guys too but being gentle is not that bad" she thought and hugged her phone, imagining him as the one she's hugging

"I have only two classes tommorow, I'll go to the museum then after that I can go stalking at the hospital again!" She said to herself

"Nirvana!" Grandma Kara's voice called

"Coming grandma!" She yelled and rushed downstairs

******

NEXT DAY< 11AM, PRESTON HOSPITAL**

"I've been calling your line but you won't pick" Heather said to Brandon immediately he appeared in the hospital

"I relocated today so I've been busy, no time to pick calls" he replied

"Oh, good job yesterday once again, how was your night?" Heather asked

"Seriously?, I hate that question" he replied

"Why?' Heather asked

"I feel like it's a common question for lovers" he replied simply

"Your attitude again" Heather smiled

"What's up?, Any surgeries today?" He asked, walking on the corridor with her

"Yes two, Dr Mateo handled one while I handled one, but they're not severe cases" she replied

"Then why were you calling me?" He asked, bringing out his phone and truly he missed ten calls from her

"Dad says he wants to see you in his office" she smiled

"Oh, then I guess I should go, see you around" he said and left

"His personality, he looks careless and careful at the same time, sometimes cold sometimes nice sometimes harsh sometimes kind but even at all of this, he still manages to be handsome, he's unique" she smiled

President Remington's office**

Mateo is already sitting with president Remington when Brandon entered the office

"Have your sit" the president said and he obliged

"Good job yesterday, I'm impressed and I'm proud of you" he said

"There's really no need to praise me, someone might die" he replied, looking at Mateo with the corner of his eyes

"I just have a lot of praises to chant and I might explode if I contain it, I decided to give out a little,good job once again" president Remington said

He only nodded and looked at Mateo who has an hardened expression

"And doctor Mateo, though you were both tagged as the two best in here but he's actually the best, you come after him, try to imitate him and improve your knowledge" president Remington said and Mateo only nodded

"Why don't you come for dinner with my family tonight?" President Remington asked Brandon

" I'll politely reject that, I have something to attend to tonight at eight" he replied

" Then we can make it seven, just an hour dinner at my private restaurant if there's no surgery that needs to be performed then" president Remington said

" Oh, I can't say" Brandon stood

"I'll take that as a yes, you can both leave" he said and they left the office together

Heather is waiting in front of the office when they came out

"What did he say?" He asked both of them

"I got praised but someone got admonished" Brandon said

Heather looked at Mateo and before she knew it, Mateo grabbed her hand and took her away

Brandon smiled. "Arrogant fellow, brain is always better than money"

" What are you doing Mateo, we're in the hospital" Heather struggled with him till they got to a silent end

He let her go and faced her

"Why are you always supporting him?, I'm the one who deserves your support!" Mateo ranted

" This is the real reason why I don't support you, you're so full of yourself, Mateo you're arrogant" she replied

"like arrogance is a disease?' Mateo said

" It's not but it will make you lose a lot!, You're always boasting of being better than him, having a lot of experience than him, having a lot of cars than him and being richer than him even when your salaries are the same" Heather replied

" I've got a rich father and...."

"And so that makes you richer but the fact still remains that he's more brilliant Mateo, stop this pride it doesn't suit you" Heather said, breathing heavily and she started walking away

" Do you...feel something for him?, It's rare to see you standing up for someone like this Heather" Mateo said

Heather left without answering the question and Mateo sighed

*****

BLISS COLLEGE**

"Whoa!, Two classes done and dusted!" Nirvana shouted, leaving the class with Jamison and Farrell

"What should we do next?" Farrell asked

"You guys should follow me to the boutique, I need to change my wardrobe so I need to shop" Jamison said

"Yesterday it was Farrell so today it's you, no I'm not interested, have I told you how grandma rebuked me for staying late night last night?, No I'm not ready to follow you and besides, I need to go to the museum, bye!" Nirvana said and walked away fast

"Did she just say that much in one seconds?, Such a talkative" Jamison said and looked at her left side but Farrell too is gone.

"When did she leave, f*ck it! these two devils" He said

****

VICENZO FOLKLORE MUSEUM**

Nirvana entered the museum, skipping her legs in like a kid and her backpack jumped up and down behind her

Her glasses stood cutely on her face and her silky hair flew in the air

"Hey museum!, I'm here again!" She said and picked her book and pen to jot down things again

She got serious as she walked around the museum, everything she sees there everyday is always interesting to her

"Hey girl" a familiar voice said behind her and she looked back to see Paxton

He's a curator who manages the museum and she's friends with him, that's why she has no problem with entering freely though he seems older, maybe around twenty two but they talk casually

"Paxton" she smiled and he came closer to give her a hug which she quickly broke

"You didn't come yesterday, I missed you" he said, pulling her cheek

" I followed my friend to shop but now here I am" she replied

"What should I get for you?, Or did you decide not to eat today? " He asked

" Not to eat?, How funny, I'll take any available snacks and juice, thanks" she said and flaunted her hair stylishly

" How do you manage to be cute even after eating a lot" Paxton said

"I'm Nirvana Merrick, born to eat and glow" she smiled, taking her book again

" Dude" someone said from the entrance and they both looked that way

Her eyes widened and almost left their sockets when she saw who it is, her crush!

She rushed to the back of one of the shelves and hid though she can still see them from there

"Don" Paxton said when Brandon finally got to him

*Thanks for helping me relocate" Brandon said

" It's rare to see you thanking me, do you need something?" Paxton asked and Brandon smiled with a side of his face

" Nothing much, but you were talking to someone, did she teleport?" Brandon asked and Nirvana's heart skipped beats in her hiding place

"Nirvana..." Paxton said and looked behind him but she's gone

"But she was here...." He said

Nirvana tried to hide well but ended up making a sharp sound when she mistakenly hit her elbow on the shelf

Brandon came that way Immediately and she quickly stood then tried to run to another corner but someone held her backpack from behind

Without anyone telling her, she knows it's him, her heart continued slamming hard on her chest as she slowly looked back at him

It's the first time she'll be seeing him up close and she's not mistaken, he's really really handsome, just like a Greek god

She smiled sillily before he spoke

"My little stalker?" He said and her eyes widened.

Nirvana's eyes won't stop bulging, trying to fly out of their real position as she stared at this guy holding her backpack

"You.....you knew?" She said embarrassedly

" Of course, I'm really more sensitive than you think, I'm not a daft doctor little girl, I always see you snapping me secretly in the hospital and I'm sure your gallery will be occupied by me right now" he replied

Embarrassment wrapped itself round her like a blanket and she found it hard to look at his face again

"Gosh, I got caught, I wish Farrell is here to save me from this" she thought, closing her eyes and breathing hard

Her heartbeat became abnormal and when it felt as if her heart will jump out of her chest, she ceased her breath

"So little girl, why are you stalking me?" Brandon asked

She decided not to talk cos she's not ready to talk

"It's because I'm crushing on you" she thought in her mind but dare not say it out

She's still holding her breath and might just die anytime soon

"Why are you stalking me?" Brandon asked again, studying her facial features as she closed her eyes

Her cheeks are red with artificial blush and her lashes is naturally long and even visible in her glasses, her hair is full to the edge and all this makes her look babyish, a complete little girl, he concluded that she'll be around seventeen or eighteen

"Little girl, if you decide not to answer me, I'll kidnap you right here and now" Brandon said and that made her open her eyes quickly, she let out all the breath she has been holding and the fresh breath hit his face rebelliously

"I'm so sorry... I just, I love doctors and...

"You decided to choose me as a case study" Brandon interrupted

"No I actually....

"I know you're telling lies little girl" he interrupted again

"Gosh!, Is he a wizard?" She thought as Paxton came finally

"Pax you need to save me from him" she said

"You know her?" Paxton asked

"Yes, she's my... little stalker, the girl who'll always follow me around in the hospital just to snap me" he replied

"You stalk Brandon?, Why?" Paxton asked

"Oh, so his name is Brandon, nice name, the name is Just as handsome as the owner" she thought and wished she can pinch herself that instant

"I...I...I just love doctors" she replied, blinking like a programmed doll

"The last time I checked, you wanted to become a curator at a museum cos you love history and that's why you're a student of history, you're in arts, what's this sudden involvement in science" Paxton said

"Idiot, must you implicate me?" She thought, closing her eyes again then an idea popped up in her head

"He's holding my backpack, i can just slip out my two hands and run out" she thought, calculating the distance between her spot and the door

"I'll be out in a minute,... one, ...two....three" she counted in her mind and slipped off her arms from the bag straps, leaving the bag with Brandon then she started running out but she'd barely taken three steps when her legs collided with each other and she started going down..

"Oh no I'm dead!!!" She screamed and imagined her glasses broken, nose bleeding, face swollen already but a hold on her arm stopped her from falling

Brandon held her and made her stand straight again

She's breathing heavily and has a shocked look on her face as he let go of her hand

"He just...saved me, my knight in shining armor" she thought and smiled sheepishly

"You're clumsy, babyish and also funny" Brandon said

"You just defined her, that's the pure definition of Nirvana.... clumsy,. babyish, funny but you forgot to add two....cute and food loving" Paxton said

"she might be a foodie, but to me... she's not cute, ..she looks like an unwanted doll" Brandon said and Nirvana's heart fell, she can imagine him marching it with his two legs

"How could you say that to this cutie" Paxton said

Before Nirvana could control her tears, it fell

"Tears?" Brandon said

"I'm not a little girl, I'm nineteen" she said, wiping her tears

"I hate crying little girls cos they mostly cry cos of candies or lollipops and I don't have one to give" Brandon said and more tears fell from her eyes

"And also, grandma says I'm cute, my Grayson says I'm cute too, Paxton here says I'm beautiful, Farrell says I'm adorable and Jamison says I'm gorgeous, i don't know what's wrong with your eyes cos you're saying nonsense" she cried

"maybe all those people you mentioned needs to get recommended glasses like you, they all need one each" Brandon said

Nirvana brought out her handkerchief and wiped all the tears in her face then blew her nose on the handkerchief before throwing it at Brandon

"Eew!" Brandon remarked

"I hate you, I hate all doctors" she said and grabbed her bag from him then ran out of the place

"Now why do you have to be so harsh" Paxton said

"I just felt like teasing" Brandon smiled lightly

"Rookie, what do you want?" Paxton asked

"Nothing, just came to say hi" Brandon winked and left

"That nasty dude" Paxton smiled
