Unideal Romance

Chapter Two.

"Tell me everything without skipping!"  Lola was excited as she held her fingers.
   "Let me be, Lola" She smiled at her. "Go to your office please, I'm reviewing a patient's case" She pushed her off.
  The other frowned immediately. "You told me you would and I'm gonna wait" She slumped on the little sofa which was away from her desk.

"Okay.."She took off her glasses. "I never said that" She shrugged into the air..

  "You were all smiles this morning and I asked why, you said you would tell me about it" She said back in defense. "And I know it's a man, baby!" She said aloud.

Rissa laughed out loud in response. "Fine, it is a man and you won't believe that he was also...." A knock had interrupted.  "Uhmm...come in!" She ushered.

   One of the nurses at the reception walked in, she flashed Lola a smile then turned to Rissa.
  "Sorry to bother you but someone wants to see you" She said softly.

"It's our break, direct them to another doctor please" Lola responded calmly.

The nurse shook her head. "He's not a patient"

"Who then?" She asked immediately.

"He said his name was Mr Steve Oteo" She replied.

Rissa sighed in annoyance, what was it with this man! Why was he at her working place, she was not going to take this easily. "Direct him here, please"

With that the nurse waded off and Lola got up with her coffee in her hands.
"Your dad?" She raised her brows as she stood in front of her desk.

She dug her face into her hands in frustration. "Him again" She sounded frustrated.

Lola gave her a pat on her hair with a smile. "Just hear the old man out, sweetheart. He misses his daughter." She walked over to the door.

  Rissa only eyed her off, she was not ready to have any sort of conversation with her dad. "Yeah right"
That said, Lola went out with a knowing smile and shut the door behind her.
 
The door squeaks open and Steve's head pops in before he brings his whole body in. This was his first time at her working place even though he knew where it was and he always struggled to speak to her, he was really proud of the woman she was becoming. He was not available to watch that growth and he was trying to make his daughter see reasons for that but she wasn't giving him any chance at all.

  "What are you doing here?" She started with a stern face. "The threat is going to have to actualise if this persists" She warned.
 
  "See"He held his jacket firmly. "I took your advice and got thicker ones." He smiled instead.

   "Oh.. really! I thought you had a wife who would have given the same advice." She got out of her chair.

"Sonia gives advice too and she felt very happy when I told her you told me to do it.." He smiled continuously ignoring her harsh words.

"Please leave or I'll call the security on you!" She glared into his eyes.

He moved closer to her desk. "If we can't talk like father and daughter, at least let's have a conversation like two normal people.. Marissa" His eyes looked pleadingly.

"I'm only normal around people who don't hurt me and normal people, you are a heartless man who left his sixteen years old daughter for another." Rissa felt her voice shake.

" It's been over five years that I have been trying to talk these things out with you and apologize too" He sounded really sorry and genuine.

" I didn't see you for five years until five years ago.. It's been ten years since I became fatherless and as you can see, I am doing great." She pointed it out to him.
