I try not to miss you, I try to let go but in the end, you're always on my mind.

Andrew groaned repeatedly in exasperation catching Diyemi's attention. Diyemi raised an eyebrow curiously.

"What?" Andrew said dead eyed.

"What are you thinking about that is making you whine?" Diyemi asked, narrowing his eyes at Andrew suspiciously.

"Nothing" Andrew answered brusquely and walked over to a printer.

"Let me rephrase that, who are you thinking of?" Diyemi smirked, raising an eyebrow. Andrew stiffened but recovered quickly.

"No one." He answered curtly, picking up a newly printed paper.

"You are definitely thinking of someone. You had this dazed look in your eyes just a few minutes ago. Brandon has had that look a number of times and he's still having them," Diyemi accurately pointed out. "You know I'm not wrong."

"That doesn't mean you are right either," Andrew retorted not meeting Diyemi's eyes and Diyemi smirked wider.

He was enjoying Andrew's discomfort way too much. "The problem is you hid that you were thinking about someone and lied you weren't. This person must be really important..."

"Stop mocking me okay?!" Andrew finally snapped, turning around. "Yes, I'm thinking of someone and lied but you don't need to know who!"

Diyemi smiled pleased and faced the computer system in front of him. "Good, I didn't want to know either. I just wanted to piss you off."

Andrew glared at him and marched away annoyed. "Bastard."

Diyemi chuckled in response, his fingers working on the computer keys. "Must be a girl, He is acting like a teenager," he muttered with an amused smile.

"Brandon was discharged?" Stella repeated irritated.

Becca shrugged helplessly. "That is what I was told. He was discharged last night."

"He didn't tell me anything," Stella said upset and Becca stared at her sympathetically. Stella was confined to the hospital for a few more days but the good things was she was doing better.

"It's just a few more days, you will be out before you know it." Becca consoled and Stella sighed in resignation.

"I got some fruits for you," Deji announced entering the room and Stella smiled warmly. Becca watched Deji gently drop the plastic can on a tray and set it before Stella.

"Aww, thank you," Stella blushed and looked at Becca. "Deji, this is Becca, she is a friend of mine and of my family."

Becca smiled thoughtfully and Deji acknowledged her, shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Stella's boyfriend."

Becca smiled. "it's nice to meet you. I'll leave now and give you some privacy."

"Come on Becca, stay," Stella pouted.

"I have something to do, I'll come again and start planning your welcome back party," Becca flashed a teasing smile and Stella chuckled. "bye."
