Unideal Romance

Chapter Four.

  "You look glamorous today!" Lola took her hands into the elevator. "Where were you?"

Rissa gave her that cunning smile. "Did my mom call you?"

"Definitely girl, she said you didn't sleep home" She eyed her mischievously.

"I'm sorry about that, I already called to explain things to her, I had to come up with an excuse" She said.

"I see" She smiled. "So where were you cos you didn't come back for your car?"

She had planned to come back for it but as fate would have it, things didn't go that way.  "I know"

"Girl, if you don't talk to me. Don't ever speak to me" She tried to sound stern but it didn't work that way.

Rissa glanced at her. "I was with Mr Shamble's son" She stated immediately.

"Through out the night?" She was shocked.

"We had sex like adults" She tried to sound casual like it wasn't a big deal even though she knew it was.

"You're kidding me!" She covered her mouth with smiles. "Bad bitch!" She swung her hand over her head.

"Are you alright? " She tried to get her hands off her as they got out of the elevator while other doctors and nurses who passed gave them glances with smiles, they were always playful with each other and really close, so it was no surprise.

"Buh--how come? You didn't want this? " She whispered into her ears finally letting her go.

"I'll tell you, let's get to my office" She winked.

  The two women went into her office which was already cleaned, Rissa placed her bag on her desk before turning to her.

  "So--"

"So it turned out that I knew Mr Shamble's son, he's a guy I met at mom's church aside Luke, he looked like a jerk but I guess he wasn't. So--things just literally fell into place like that and we had a good time" She cornered her lips in a smile.

"Whao! Is that why you are glowing?" She scanned her, then started sniffing. "This ain't even your cologne" She smiled at Rissa with satisfaction.

"It's not, I haven't gotten home and the clothes? You won't believe he went shopping for it before I even woke up" She added, she had been surprised when Lawrence had said he went shopping for an outfit for her.

"Aww.. he's sweet, no doubt" She said.

"Yes..." Her smile was suddenly disappearing, she wasn't feeling that good and Luke was playing in her head.

"Luke was here" Lola said like she was reading her mind.

"He was? When?Today? How?For what?" She was surprised.

Lola laughed. "You like him.. so bad, well, just this morning before you came, he said he came to stock up his artwork at the gallery and thought to say hello since he had not heard from you " She explained.

"Oh.. " She looked disappointed. He didn't even call her.

"So you got him to sell his work at the gallery? That's nice." She stated.

"I've got a surgery in less than an hour" She grabbed her coat. "I'll see you later sweet heart" She winked at her at went away.

"Sure.. love you" She said after her. "Luke likes her but he isn't even sure of it, Rissa likes him but she's encouraging herself that she doesn't to avoid commitments" She was murmuring to herself. "How do I help now?" She kept on saying as she walked out of the office.
