Chapter 27 : Pounding

~Sandra

24 hours have passed.

24 hours have passed since my first kiss. It still sound unbelievable when I say it and I'm trying to not being it up, but it won't leave my mind. The memory of us...oh gosh... Now is not the time. Heck I can't even talk to him right now he's focus of making it to the receptionist. We are currently walking in the hallway of Medi-State Hospital where his dad is.

"So what are we going to do here again ?"

"Just to check if my dad is still doing fine"

"Are you going to see him ?"

He doesn't answer he just sighs, his face grows  sad as the inner corner of his eyebrows are drawn up and his eyes fall to the floor. My heart pangs I didn't think he would affect me this much.

"Lucas ?", I ask softly.

"I don't want to disturb his recovery so it's better not to see him" 

"Okay". I agree with him seeing that it actually hurt him saying that. Sooner we reach the receptionist's desk, Lucas is quick to start talking but the receptionist stops him and continues her conversation on the phone.

He anxious taps his fingers on the wooden table as he shoot a glare to the oblivious lady.
Patience is not in Lucas's blood that was one of the things I noticed about him, when he is on a mission he wants to get it done now and now the lady speaking on the phone is in his way. 

She eventually ends her phone call and looks at us expectantly, "What you want kids ?" She asks, cheeky.

"Look lady all I ask is to see Benjamin Bolton's medical file and I'd be out of your hair", He says rather calmly.

She narrows her eyes, "A medical file is private and confidential so unless you have a PHD kid, you won't live to see this file and who do you think you are coming to my hospital and asking to see my patient's files. This isn't Disneyland"

What ?

What the heck does Disneyland have to do with any of this.

"Miss, all we will do is just look and return the file back we promise to keep thi discreet please just let him see his father's file" I intervene in hopes to make his situation better.

"Noo" she says mockingly as if her attitude isn't repelling enough her appearance makes me wonder why she is the first face you see when you walk in this hospital. She is wearing a white blouse with her pink blazer with the hospital logo, she matches this with a pink pencil skirt and heels. Her makeup is horribly done, her blue eye shadow and black eyeliner, her greasy blonde hair and the nude brown color on her lips. I basically have the perfect elements to give her a piece of my mind but Lucas beats me to it. He slams a thick envelope on the desk, the receptionist is skeptical but grabs it anyways, her eyes widen once she sees what's inside.

"Benjamin Bolton's file now" , Lucas  demands, his nice personality traits gone.

The receptionist is quick to run the office behind the reception desk. I wonder how much did Lucas give her. I mean what else could it be. Although he looks neutral I could tell that he is anxious, his leg is rapidly tapping the floor whilst his eyes are scanning around.

"Hey", I softly say to gain his attention. It works, he glances at me his face still expressionless. "Its okay"

His face grows soft as he nods, "I know it's just that I'm..."

"Anxious ?"

"I haven't anything about him in months so yeah I am anxious", he says looking away from me.
