It was already past 5pm and I wondered where that bloody doctor was. He wasn't even in the hospital all day. Mom told me to hold on a bit but, I couldn't take it anymore.
"I knew this was going to happen. Like who meets someone in a day and asks that person to be his date to a dinner. That same day! It seemed too good to be true."
I began to clean the little makeup I had already done. Come on, he only told me that he'd take care of the gown so, I had to do my makeup myself.
"T can you calm down. Just be patient."
"It's twenty minutes past time like, what does he take me for?"
"So, you're already cleaning your makeup?" Daniel who was eating a biscuit asked.
"I can't keep deceiving myself. Gosh! I'm such a clown."
"I think she likes him." Daniel said to mom and they both giggled. I turned in anger. "I can't like someone who can't keep to time. I mean... I thought doctors are so orderly and prompt. Why's this doctor different?" Then, I remembered how neatly arranged his office was...plus, that table, that table were he made me moan. I shook my head to clear those lusty thoughts.
"Because not all doctors are orderly and arranged. It's just a stereotype." Mum said to me.
"Whatever." This should be my best word lol. "He should go fuck himself. I'm going to the station."
Actually, I was going to Mr Charlie's house but I didn't want her to know. Dad always kept a gun in his bonnet for security purposes so, if I could get into the car and get the gun, I would threaten that Charlie with the gun.
I had become a whole different person and I didn't know where all this fire was coming from. It was the fire of revenge. It keeps burning in you till you finally accomplish what you have to do.
"Teresa, you're being difficult. At least, wait till it's thirty minutes." Daniel contributed.
"That's not necessary." I said and she started laughing. "You're like your father. Filled with stubbornness. Haha."
I rolled my eyes and reached for the door knob but was prevented by a strange man in brown suit who entered with two other men in black suits. Those were his bodyguards I guessed.
"Ward 143. Ah hah! We're in the right place gentlemen." The man in brown suit said. He was really short but not a dwarf like 5'5 ish.
"Excuse me. What do you want?" I said in irritation. "Who gave you the audacity to just badge into a patient's ward?" I asked.
The man nodded. "He was right gentlemen. She's feisty and I've witnessed it myself. No wonder he's really interested."
I rose my brows. "What?"
"My apologies ma'am." He held my hand. "You should be Teresa or should I say...Lady Teresa? I can tell from your feisty nature." He chuckled lightly and continued. "I'm sorry for one, coming late and two, not introducing myself. I'm Baldwin, a happily married man with two children." He let out another laugh and I began to question his mental health. "Most importantly, I'm Doctor Dylan's personal assistant."
"Personal assistant?" My mom and I chorused.
"Yes. He has sent me to uhm..." he took a glance at me and gave out a face of disgust. "...take care of this disappointing look and give you a ravishing and splendid one for the dinner he has been invited to this night. By the time I'm done with you...from the front and the back...you would be...banging sexy...oouuu I can see it already. Hallelujah somebody!"
"Hallelujah!" The two guards chorused with straight faces.
"So, can we go mi lady? We have like less than two hours already."
I wouldn't lie. This man seemed mad and scary. I turned to my mom for confirmation and she nodded.
"Go have fun baby." She said.
"Sis, be safe cause this man's weird as hell." Daniel said and I giggled.
"Dan, that's a rude thing to say." Mom scolded and he apologized.
"Don't worry ma'am. I'm a weird motherfucker haha! So, mi lady, shall we?"
"Okay." I said reluctantly. The man began to clap and trust me, I was lost. Why was he clapping?
"Guards! Carry her to the lemo. She can't stress her legs."
What?
"No, no. I'm good. Damn." I said and he shrugged. "Okay princess."
...
We got into the limousine and Baldwin offered varieties of drinks. I was actually exhausted. I just took water cause I mean, I wasn't used to this extravagant lifestyle and I wasn't even in a haste to taste from it.
"To the hotel first." Baldwin said to one of the guards and they nodded. I frowned in wonder...why a hotel?
"Why're we going to a hotel?"
"You don't know?" He asked me blankly.
"I don't know what?" I said in confusion. Can he tell me already? I hate being lost or uninformed.
He chuckled lightly. "What do you know about Doctor Dylan? I thought you were his fiancée."
Lmao. What did Baldwin just say? I laughed. "Nope. I just met him yesterday."
"Wow. Okay, Dylan boy is a doctor..." He just called his boss Dylan boy. Wow. "...but he doesn't even need that profession. I think he's just doing it for fun cause he's taking over his father's hotel in some years to come."
"Huh?" I was surprised.
"Don't get me wrong. His Father isn't dying anytime soon but...his dad is the bloody owner of Farassis Hotel!"
My eyes widened in surprise. Dylan is fucking rich!
"Wait, are you trying to tell me that...""Yes princess! He's the only child of the man. His mother died years ago and was brought up by his father who trained him on how to manage the hotel and also sent him to school to study medicine. He's a lucky dog..."
I stopped listening to Baldwin's rambling and thought for a while, if he was so rich, why was he connected to El Casirk?
So many puzzles. Shiii. Enjoy, vote, share and comment. I need to know what you're thinking. Plus, who is your favorite character so far? Eyy. I would tell you mine later on haha!
