M.Pokora - Tombé

Orianna's POV

"Right this way, Emma." I say to the tiny ball of sugar as I escort her and her mom to the dentist.

"Will it hurt?" Comes her tiny voice.

"No, baby. The doctor will just check and remind you to brush your teeth before going to bed." I smile at her, hoping that the doc doesn't have to pluck anything out so that I don't seem like a liar to the sweet little thing.

"Ms Lee." I say to Emma's mom as I open the door to their dentist, Dr Jennings.

"Bye bye." I wave at Emma, she waved back and blows me a kiss,having me swoon over her.

I stop when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out and quickly answer when I see Brandon's name on the screen.

"Hey. Are you guys alright?" I ask, the big sis in me coming out.

"We're fine Anna, I just think there's something wrong with the neighbors or something." Brandon says.

"What do you mean? We don't have any neighbors."

"Yeah, we never had any neighbors. Some people moved in today morning and I think they had a fight or something and now one is knocking on the door."

"What are you and Zoe doing?"

"We're watching tv."

"Okay, don't open the door no matter what, we don't know them. I don't get off work till like an hour or so, so... just sit tight and I'll see what I can do. I'll call you back."

"Okay." He says and I hang up.

We had people moving in next door and I wasn't aware of it. What am I supposed to do now?

Quillon.

I'm sure he can help me.

I rush to Kilani's examination room to see if she's there. I knock and wait for an answer but open the door when I don't hear anything. I take a look in the room and see that no one is inside. I close the door and head to her office.

"Lani." I say when I enter her office.

"Yes!" She answers and spins on her chair.

"Can I please have Quillon's number?" I ask.

"Sure, but why?" She pulls out her phone and eyes me.

"I wanna ask him if he can please pop by the house to check on Brandon and Zoe. We apparently have a new neighbor that moved in this morning and they're knocking on the door."

"Oh. Here." She offers me her phone.

"Thank you." I say, after entering his number on my phone.

I dial him and he picks up after a few rings.

"Quillon Ames, hello?" He says, his voice deep and confident.

"Hi Quillon." I squeak out.

"Orianna?" He says and I hear muffled voices in the back.

"Yeah. Hi, I was wondering if you could maybe do me a favor- if you aren't busy. " I say and hear shuffling on the other end.

"Yeah. What is it?" His desk voice asks.

"Could you please go check on Brandon and Zoe. I know it's a lot to ask for, but they said that some new neighbors moved in and they had a fight in the morning and that one of them was knocking on the door." I ramble, and tears cloud my eyes.
