*Hospital*
*Jordan's ward*

Davina: "Say ahh babe."

She says, feeding Jordan with a spoonful of soup.

Jordan: "You do know I can feed myself right?"

Jordan says despite opening his mouth slightly wide for Davina to feed him.

Davina: "Shut up and let me feed you!"

She says in a harsh tone as she glares at Jordan.

Jordan: "Okay, Okay. Sorry... Please continue madame"

He responds apologetically, trying to appease Davina.

The ward door creaks open as Debby walks into the room with a cart of bandages and wound disinfectants.

Debby: "Alright boyfriend, it's time to change your bandages."

She says as she rolls the cart closer to Jordan.

Davina: "Boyfriend?"

Debby: "Aren't you Jordan?"

Jordan: "Uhh..."

His eyes dart around the room trying to think of a way to avert the topic.

Davina: "You've got some explaining to do you big idiot!"

She says smacking Jordan behind his head.

Debbie: "Hey! Hey! He's still recovering."

Davina: "Zip it wench!"

Davina glares angrily at Debbie before returning her gaze motioning for Jordan to start talking.

Jordan: "So umm.. introductions I guess. Davina this is Debbie, Debbie... Davina."

-_-

Jordan: "So the thing is.. I saved her dad from getting shot at the global event hosted last year."

Davina: "And how did that happen? What were you even doing there in the first place??"

Jordan: "That's not really important. What is important is that I saved him. I was working as a part time medical research assistant..and it so happened that we met there. "

Davina: "Okay.. that makes sense. But still.. what does she have to do with you?"

She says pointing at Debbie

Debbie: "Oh Davina, I already told you. My dad entrusted me in his care...and it may or may not have been a set in stone engagement because I honestly don't think I could love anyone else but Jordan."

She says while firmly while maintaining eye contact with Jordan.

Davina: "And how should I care? He's my boyfriend! Who do you think you are to push yourself into MY! BOYFRIEND!"

Jordan: "Davina calm down."

Davina: "Calm Down!? CALM DOWN JORDAN!? Don't you dare tell me to calm down! What'll happen to me? To us? Did you ever stop to think about me?!"

Davina starts to cry, struggling to stop the tears from falling but to no avail.

Davina: "I hate you."

She says before packing up her bag and walking away.

Jordan: "Davina listen! Hold on.. gahh!"

He struggles to stand up but accidentally applies too much pressure on his stitched up wounds, which results in him falling back on the bed.

Debbie: "Hold on Jordan. You shouldn't rush to get up so suddenly. Let me talk to her okay?."

She helps Jordan to lie on the bed properly, adjusting his head to the pillow.
