Regrets and Mistakes

Chapter 19

"So you put on a show out here just because a man picked up my phone " I plainly asked him,my hands were folded near my abdomen,his eyes were ablaze " no! I meant every word,since our date got canceled I'll just ask you right here,bear in mind that your answer does not matter,you are my girlfriend period" my laugh came out uncontrollably for a second I forgot I had a dying mother who needed finances for her treatment," Thank you so much,you can collect your receipt from the accounts " the doctor called out,i was a little confused,if it was not for the fact that him and I were the only people there I would have thought he was not talking me"w...wait,receipt" he had already walked away by the time I found the right words. I turned to look at Hastings with admiration," you did this" my pride was screaming reject his help,kick him out of this place but I really needed help financially,my hands wrapped around his neck I inhaled his perfume and let out a moan,his hands held my waist tighter as he pulled me closer to him,that was the most comforting feeling I have ever felt my whole life."'let's go" he whispered,we held hands and walked inside the wards to check on mom,it was official,I had a man in my life,so far so good I guess,maybe the men I've heard of were just the wrong ones I might have been wrong,we approached the hallways,my sister was leaning on my the officers shoulder who's mouth was slightly open,they seemed peaceful as they slept,we grabbed some coffee,chatted the night away,in the early hours of the morning he planted a kiss on my forehead before he left,I turned to look at samba who was still sleeping covered with the policeman's jacket,ooh so he finally decided to leave,it was kind of him to give us a lift but also awkward when he decided to stay," good morning,here's some coffee" he handed it as he took a seat next to me. Did he just spend the night here with us,"you're still here?" I asked apologetically.he gave out a small smile" the young lady was sleeping on my shoulder I could not disturb her" he joked,gulping his coffee down" thank you so much,sir"
" Jorge,please " he was too kind to be an officer,most officers love to be respected but he is asking me to call him Jorge." I am Muna" I said politely."nice name" he joked,I hit him on his shoulder playfully,we both laughed waking samba who yawned like she had slept for years" hm..what time is it" she stretched her hands,extending her hand to receive the coffee," you guys should go,mom is stable now" samba seemed relieved to hear that,she nodded and smiled at the policeman indirectly asking him to drop her off,he shook my hand and left after I thanked him.my subconscious reminded me I was now in a relationship with Hastings,my face cringed at that thought,I still can not believe he cleared the bill here and asked me to be his girlfriend,never in my life did I imagine I'd have a man much less a billionaire of a man,not that I cared about his money but I have to admit it was top tier.
Hastings POV
When she gave me that look,I was shocked she thought I was the one who cleared the bill,I mean I am well to do compared to her but I did not have that Much money on me,my stomach turned when I recalled last nights events,she was mine,my girlfriend the cold lady and I went official last night. My back was still sore from the long standing hours from last night,there was something bothering me though,not that I know much about this family,but one thing is for sure they do not have that much money laying around,who paid the damn hospital bill," my beautiful godson" a message popped on my phone,well this is strange,it's only 7 in the morning why is this woman being. Sweet to me. At first my thoughts led me to thinking she had cleared the bill,but what reason could she possibly have, maybe it is because she's the boss of Muna,no, chuma is anything but generous let's be honest.
I chose to ignore her message and texted my new girlfriend instead,she responded saying her mother's condition had worsened in the early hours of the morning,she had fallen into a coma. I called her to hear more of what she had happened,my heart broke,I really felt for her,not that I could relate to whatever she was going through but there's something about mothers.I had to go to the office,after getting off the call with her,my phone vibrated again,I rolled my eyes upon seeing chumas name the screen" dearest godmother " I said upon answering it" I know you hate me" she responded sounding very sarcastic,"I need to see you,stop ignoring me" i went quite ,the last time we spoke we had an argument,I am certainly in no mood for her drama,"i am busy" I rudely answered,while pushing the last slice of my sandwich in my mouth.
Nicolas's POV
I had an appointment the following morning with mr mweemba,I needed to tell him he long lost daughter was his newest employee,he had not even met yet,his wife had sent me threatening messages via Snapchat saying I do decide to tell him I should kiss my sister good bye,there was no proof to prove it was her even if she pulled out such a move,she has all the resources to get away with it
