TRUE LOVE

Chapter 7:

DREW.
Suddenly the meliflous chirping of birds rent the air and the rhomboid sun rose and spread crimson red rays all over the world. I woke up and dabbed at my eyes for the rays of the sun were irritating. I turned to my left to check if the lady i spent my night with was there. I looked everywhere but she was no where in sight. In the midst of all my confusion, my phone rang.

"Drew where are you. I was worried sick. Get your ass at home right now. " my grandmother shouted. I said nothing and started my journey back home.

Eloisa- grandmother
Miles-cousin
Sonia-Mile's wife
Roxanna- ex girlfriend.

I entered our humble abode an as usual all eyes were on me. I needed no stress but rest. I took to my feet and went to my room. Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, she drove me crazy. So crazy i could not imagine. She was the only person i had who i thought could understand me. Time flew like a glitter of dancers when i was with her. Her alone. No woman had made me feel that great since ever. I wanted her here. I wanted her near me forever. Forever. I needed to look for her. I needed to get her.

I got my phone and called the hospital we were in yesterday. Yes! She was there and i was going to get her.

When i got there she was seated on the floor .Her face was wan. As i approached her more tears dropped from her eyes. I felt as if my heart was being stabbed. I walked up to her and we started talking.

"Whats up Jenny! What am i even asking! Your absolutely not okay. Why did you disappear on me yesterday night?"

I was a fool for asking such. In a zealous of a second, she jumped on me and gave me a firm lingering hug. I too needed that so i wrapped my arms around her too. I had never felt so warm. So safe even if i was the guy. Her bile-bitter tears dripped on my shirt but trust me i loved that moment. If i had powers i would pause it, leave everything behind and simply love her. She then retreated and started apologizing but it was okay cause i also enjoyed it.

"Drew, Kimmy wont get better, the doctor said that if she did not get the required treatment, she would only have a few months to live" jenny said.

She broke into tears once again but now this one where serious. A litany of questions bombarded my cranium. What do i do? I stared trembling as i thought of what to do. My body reacted with my heart and not my mind. I gave her a hug and held her close to my chest. She then slowly stopped crying. Everthing felt like slow motion. The way she wiped her tears, the way she looked at me the way we kissed over and over again. It was what i was waiting for. I walked her to her sister's ward and she took a rest.

I trudged to the doctor and we had a talk. I paid all the medical bills and went back to her. She was awake. We talked a little and i decided to take her to my house. So we practised a play of how we would trick my grandmother. She packed her's and her sister's luggage and of we went.
