Smitten By The Street Girl ✔️✔️

33

Hayley is at her bedroom window when Adrian appears in the driveway and parks his car. He seems to be in a hurry and his face is serious. She is excited for the dinner ahead of them. Only that Adrian is a couple minutes late.

Adrian opens her bedroom door and walks inside still clutching  his briefcase.

"Damn! You look so breathtaking," He pulls her into his arms.

She rests her face on his shoulders and take out a huge breath. "You kept me waiting,"

Adrian cups her face. "I'm sorry baby. My son got sick and we had to rush him to the hospital,"

"What! Is he okay? We can cancel the dinner date Adrian,"

"Emily will be there and I will go back in the morning,"

"What is wrong with him?"

"Apparently my son has a brain tumor. I'm so scared. I just got him and I can't..,"

Hayley cuts him off. "He will be fine Adrian. You can get him the best doctors,"

"I already have that sorted. I'm just so stressed at the moment,"

"You know what! We won't go on that dinner date anymore. Not on a time like this. I will prepare you your favorite meal,"

"Thanks baby. I'm sorry that we had to cancel the date. You were already prepared and I'm feeling guilty,"

"It's not your fault. Now let me get changed. Go take a shower and meet me downstairs. Okay?"

"If you say so love," Adrian pecks her once more and leaves her room.

Her phone lights up and a text appears on her screen.

' You made me wait Hayley. Aren't you curious to find out what I know. I'm giving you one more last chance. Meet me tomorrow exact place, exact time.'

Her eyes are still glued on her phone. She had decided to ignore the call and ignore the anonymous person. It might be a trap and the last thing she would want is leading herself into a trap.

The hospital is neat and silent with doctors and nurses walking along the corridors conversing in low tones. It's visiting hours and each ward is occupied with parents, guardians, relatives, friends visiting their loved ones.

Adrian leads Hayley to Nate's ward and the little boy is lying on the bed sleeping calmly. A single tear escapes Hayley's eyes as she wipes it with the back of her hand. It's so unfair for a little boy to be lying on a hospital bed with a condition that is not guaranteed whether he will survive or not.

Adrian's walks over and takes the boy's hand and holds it with his both hands.

"You have to get well soon boy," He talks in a low voice.

Emily walks in carrying a cup of coffee ignoring Hayley and walks over to Adrian. She places the cup down and squeezes Adrian's shoulder.

"Will our son be okay?" She mumbles as dark tears runs down her eyes as a result of her black eye pencil.

"I sure hope so," Adrian squeezes her hand which is still on his shoulders.

Now is not the time to get jealous. Hayley scolds herself.

"I will go get you some tea Adrian," She excuses herself.

Adrian nods his eyes still glued on his son.

Hayley walks out of the big door to get some flesh air. The hospital reminds her of the many times she had visited her parents before they had succumbed to their injuries.
