Moving??

" Um........... I have good news and bad news " Mr Rico announced during dinner when everyone was less busy with food . "What's the good news honey ? " , Mrs Janet asked. "Yeah dad spread the gospel " , Romilda said in a half irritated and half bored tone .
"Um..... so ......... we are going to be moving soon" , he said almost in a whisper. "And the bad news is that you both are pissed at me . "Oh I don't know about your wife but I am damn pissed . You promised that we won't be moving again. What happened? " Romilda yelled at her father . "Calmn down and let me explain things " , Mr Rico pleaded. "I don't have an appetite. I'm going to bed. Excuse me ", Romilda said and went upstairs to her room before her parents could say anything else. " Rico how come we're moving again? Three months ago you said the same thing and now we're moving? I have never supported Milly's current behaviour but this time even I want to scream at you also" , Janet said partially enraged. "Not you too Jane " , Rico complained and went over to his wife in an attempt to hug her . "Mr. Del Rey ,  you better start explaining yourself before my patience gets busted " Janet said still fumming . "They just selected random people in the hospital and moved them to Chicago and I was chosen so I have to move . It's not my fault that I'm one of the best neurosurgeons they've got" , he said. " Milly is quite pissed . She might continue like this for a while so I suggest that you go talk to your daughter before she creates hell for you " , she advised. "Fine . I'll go talk to her . How did my cute little princess get so aggressive? " , he said . Rico walks uo the stairs and into his daughter's room and is about to enter when he stops in his tracks and eavesdrop on her conversation with her friend on the phone . "It's not that I don't want to leave . I just ........... you know how hard it is for me to mix with people and my disease just keeps getting worse and worse and the doctors can't do anything about it . Speaking of diseases  , my dreams keep getting more intense and this month , the pain that comes with the glowing of my veins seems to have doubled but I don't want to disturb mom or dad about it . Uggh I just hate it when we move. Ive been studying myself and it looks like change of environment does have a big effect on me. When we moved here , I felt pains in my entire body for two weeks and I'm tired of it .......... all of it. It's hard for me. I know sometimes I come across as a total scumbag but I can't help it. I have so many health complications. I can't help but look out for me. Oh my God! ............ I have been speaking for a long while haven't I? I'm so sorry to just rattle in your face like that " , Romilda said with a laugh. She waited a while . Probably listening to whoever she was on the phone with. "Yes . Okay I've heard you . I'll salute them for you now get off my line" , Romilda replied in a funny tone and hung the call up. "Knock . Knock " , was the soothing voice of Rico . "Who's there" ,came Romilda's response.  "Its your annoying father " , he replied . " My annoying father who ? " , she asked playing along with her father. "Your annoying father who is so annoying, he won't evenlet you be alone after he pissed you off" , he replied in a low tone and opened the door to her room . "Hey Milly what's going on?", her father asked. " Nothing much . Just sitting here on my bed sulking because I have to move for the eighth time this year. ", she replied avoiding her father's face . "I'm sorry baby but I don't have any control over these please understand . I wrote a letter to the head office of that hospital and I asked them to make me a permanent staff otherwise I'll refuse the offer and they agreed. This won't happen again okay?", he said with a reassuring smile. You sure don't know how to get a woman", Romilda complained . "I can't believe that you came to settle things an you didn't even bring chocolate or pizza? How did you get mom to marry you ?", she continued. "Fine . What do you want? I'll get you anything even the sun", he replied midway through laughter. "Let's go to McDonald's", she answered.
