Chapter 24
Debby's POV
L&J hospital..... 6:44pm.
Diego cuts an orange and hands it to me... I just finished taking the drugs precribed by the doctor.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome, baby!"
I rolled my eyes but didn't bother to correct him, it's no use correcting him cause he doesn't listen.
I groan for the hundredth time as I glanced at the wall clock.
"Diego, it's late... aren't your parents gonna worry about you?" I asked.
"Debs, stop worrying yourself. It's not as if he's causing trouble for you" Anna said.
Diego blinked his eyes innocently.
"Right.... I am a good guy!"
I sighed and laid back on the bed quietly. You can say I'm worried about him... Diego.
Diego is not causing trouble for me but he's about to cause a very big trouble for himself.... Andre is coming and when he sees Diego here, I can't say what he's gonna do. With Andre's temperament, he might already beat Diego to pulp before listening to any explanation.
I don't know what happened but I suddenly choked on my spit and start coughing. Diego quickly reached for a glass of water beside him..... Pulls me up a little feeds me the water. "WHAT THE FUCK!!"
My eyes grew wide and I choked on the water this time..... Andre?!
Within the twinkling of an eye, Diego is pulled off me and I hear him groan painfully.
"How" punch "you" punch "touch" punch "my" punch "Angel?!" Punch punch.
I quickly got off the bed and rushed towards Andre.... I hugged him from behind and he stops abruptly, his fist hanging in the air.
"Let go of me, Angel" he growled.
"Honey, please calm down!" I cooed him.
Anna rushed to Diego and help him up... I peeped at Diego and wince. Andre did a number on his face, his once cute face is now a mess. "Sorry, Angel, I'm not gonna listen to you this time... I'll kill him for kissing you!" He roared pointing fingers at Diego.
I frown but didn't let him go.... Kissing me?!
Realization dawned on me, with our posture, standing by the door one might mistake us kissing. That is what Andre saw.
"Honey, we weren't kissing, I choked and he was just helping me with water" I explained.
He turns to face me, my arms still wrapped around his waist.
"You weren't kissing?" He asked searching my eyes for God knows what.
"No... Look at him, he's just a kid... He's like my younger brother!"
He stays silent and continue searching my eyes.
"So you need to calm down, you don't have to be on alert everytime a guy is around me"
He takes a deep breath and exhale slowly.... he nods. I tiptoe and pecks his lips, I take his hand and leads him back to my bed.
We sat down.... Anna and Diego move closer to us, Diego massaging his jaw carefully.
Andre glared at him.
"Send him out!" He orders.
"He's not a threat to you, honey. He's just a kid... a 19years old"
"I don't care if he's 19 or 10... He's got a dick between his legs and that makes him a threat!"
Diego scoffs loudly and cross his arms across his chest.
"Now I understand why you save his number as psychopath!" He mutters.
But I heard him and so was Andre, Anna smacks the back of his head and I glared at him. Don't he knows when to shut up?!
Andre turns to me with a questioning gaze... Like he's waiting for some form of explanation!
"Er.. Diego, you should go home now... your parents might be getting worried now" I told Diego.
Just then heaven decides to help me, Diego's phone starts ringing.
He reached for his phone and frown.
"I guess I have to go now..." He stares at me and wink. "Baby... I hope we see again!"
Andre growls warningly clenching his hands.
"Angel, what did he mean?" Andre asked.
I opened my mouth to defend myself but I couldn't make up the right words.... the perfect lie to be precise.
Anna clears her throat and we turned to her.
"Debby, your boyfriend is here... I think I should head back home now"
She doesn't even wait for my reply, she's already out the door.
Andre held my shoulders and turns me to him.... a serious expression on.
"What did that kid mean? What psychopath?" He asked.
I look away from him and chew on my lower lip.
"Give me your phone!"
"I don't know where it is"
"Angel, don't get me angry... I said give me your phone!" He keeps a straight face.
But I remain unfazed.
He sigh and reach for his phone, he dialed my number and I gasp quietly.
My beautiful Angel?! That's how he saved my number?!
I hear my phone ringing on the table but before I could reach for it, Andre already did.
Andre stares at the screen and grit his teeth.
"Psychopath?!" He grits out.
I laid face down on the bed and hide my face in the pillow.
"Ooh! Someone is so gonna beg for mercy!" He growled in anger.
I turn to beg but he descended on me before I could.... He placed his fingers at both sides of my waist and begin tickling me.
Never knew laughing could be the greatest form of punishment.... I laughed so hard to the extent my ribs starts hurting.
"Ple.... please... I... I.. am.. so.... rry..."
"You said what? I can't hear you!" He said still torturing me.
I shake my head, indicating him to stop but he pretended like he didn't see it.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Andre..."
"Say I'm the most handsome man ever"
Humph! I could have rolled my eyes but for the torture I am enduring.
"You are.... the most hand.... some man... ever!" I managed to say.
He lets go of me and I inhale deeply... I was almost out of breath. He types on my phone a few minutes and turns it to me.
"This is much better!" He said.
"My handsome boyfriend?!" I read out.
He nods and hands it back to me.
"And don't change it!" He commands...
As if I have the time.... I saved his number as psychopath when I first met him but was too lazy to change it back.
"Angel, I'm mad at you!"
"Why?"
"Why?! You are in a hospital"
"Oh!"
He glared at me.
"Do you know how worried I was driving here? I thought something bad happened to you!" He said genuinely worried.
Hmm... Why do I feel like Andre changed a little bit... like, he's behaving somehow like a normal human being.
He didn't say only two or three words like he used to.... like a robot.... that's another improvement.
"Next time if something like this occurs, make sure I'm the first person you call"
I simply nod. He narrowed his eyes.
"Don't tell me you weren't planning on letting me know!"
"I was but...."
"Nevermind... what did the doctor say?"
"Nothing serious, I can leave tomorrow morning!"
"Nothing serious? Did she do a thorough test?"
"Yes, I ate too much and had gastroenteritis"
He sighs. "Ok, I'll keep you company"
"Keep me company? Like spend the night here with me?"
He nods.
"No, go back home... you'll get a stiff neck" I told him.
"My Angel is hospitalized, how do you expect me to through the night... I'll stay with you"
"But you have work tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow is saturday, no work!"
I didn't argue with him no more. We stayed in silence when his words replayed in my head.
Tomorrow is saturday... perfect day to carry out my plan.

"Right!" We said at once.... I laughed lightly.
"You first, Angel"
"Do you have plans for tomorrow?"
He does a little thinking. "No"
"Ok, I want us to go on a date"
"A date?"
"Hmm.. it's not really a typical date, but it's still a date"
Shopping doesn't count as dating, right.
"Ok...." he stops and frown. "But I wanted you to meet with Michael's wife tomorrow"
"Michael? Who's Michael?"
"My friend... he's got some issues with his wife and I promised to let you have a talk with her"
I sighed.... I'd love to help Michael but....
"Andre, I've already scheduled all my plans for tomorrow.... can I have that talk with her on Sunday?"
Andre thought about it and nods. He lifts me off the bed and balanced me on his lap.
"So,. What's tomorrow's plan?" He asked.
"Hmm, let's see.... first, I'll go fitting at Anna's by 10am... then we'll go shopping and visit the sea" I smiled excitedly.
"Visit the sea?" He asked a bit confused.
I rolled my eyes.... he's just got a new nickname.... caveman!
How come he doesn't understand what I meant by visiting the sea.
"Honey, I mean, I'll take you to the aquarium!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!!" I mocked him.... he pinches my cheek softly.
"Alright then, we'll do it your way.... sunday you'll meet Michael's wife!" He said.
He got up and laid me on the bed, then took off his jacket and shoes...... He quickly joins me, I just stare at him with my mouth open.
"What are you doing?"
"Sleep!"
"Sleep?!" He nods. "This is a hospital not your mansion!"
"Do I look like I care?"
I groan... this guy is something else.
"Sleep, Angel... We've got a busy day tomorrow!"
He slams my head on his chest softly.... I placed my hand on his chest wanting to resist but feeling his muscles made me change my mind.
I begin to trace them.... I know he's got muscles but I didn't know they'll be this strong.
What a strong man.... I'm so damn lucky!
Writer's POV
Thompson's residence!
Martha sits in the living room, scrolling through her phone and occasionally glancing at the door.... as if she's expecting someone.
The door opens and a guy enters, he looked around and smile when he saw no one...... whereas, Martha hides herself in a corner immediately she sees him.
He sneakily walk towards the staircase but stops abruptly in his track when he heard Martha's voice.
"Where are you coming from?" She asked.
He turns with a sweet smile on his face, but quickly wipes it off when he sees how serious Martha is.
"Where are you coming from, Diego? And so late in the night!"
He walk towards her and throws his arm around her shoulder.
"Mom, I didn't stay out late on purpose.... I was saved a damsel who I fell in love with at first sight!"
Martha shakes his arm off her shoulder and pulls his ear.
"Diego, I don't care what made you stay out late! You should remember you are a kid and you staying out at this hour is not allowed in this house!"
Diego winces in pain and held his mother's hand.
"Mom, mom, mom let go... It hurts"
Martha lets go of his ear and glares at him.
"I have told you not to give your grandma reasons to scold you" she sits on the chair angrily.
Diego squats in front of her and massage her legs.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I was just....."

"I see the spoilt brat is back!" Diego tensed hearing his grandmother's voice.
He stands up slowly and helped his mother up.
His grandma walks down the stairs, glaring daggers at him as she comes down. She stops mid way and crossed her hands on her chest.
"I was wondering why Martha was barking, I didn't know her worthless son is back!"
Diego bites his tongue hard and clenched his fist as he tries hard to refrain himself.
"Diego, this should be the last time you come to this house at such late hour!"
"Grandma, why do you always scold me and insult my mom?! Olivia is far worse than me....."
"Shut up, Diego!" Martha cautioned him.
Diego grumbles under his breath and marches off to his room.
"Martha! You see the son you brought up?! You see how rude he is?!"
"I'll caution him, Mom" Martha promised.
"Better do! I won't accept this behavior from him next time! And when Thompson comes back tomorrow, I'll make sure he takes back that car from your trash son!" Martha didn't say a word.
"Oh, remind me tomorrow.... I'll meet with Doris by 3pm"
"Yes, Mom!"
Diego's grandma walks back to her room and slams the door shut.
Martha slumps on the sofa and groan frustratingly.
*What did I get myself into!* She thought.
Anna's POV
I gulp down my tequila and look at the dance floor.... couples grinding against each other.
After leaving Debby at the hospital, I think I'll be bored going back home.... so I decided to hit the club.
And here I am, on my third bottle.
A shadow towers over me.
"Hello, beautiful... Need some company?"
"No! Go away!" I told him.
But he did the opposite, he sits next to me and smiled at me.
"I'm Sean and you're....?"
"Someone you shouldn't mess with!"
"Ooh! Feisty, I love it!" He winks at me.
I ignored him and continue gulping my tequila. Seeing how fast I'm drinking it, he takes it from me.
"Hey! Give it back!"
"I know a lot of things you can use this mouth for" he said.
"Huh?!" I frown.
He chuckled.
"How about we take this conversation somewhere else"
I shake my head.
"No! Let's talk here!"
He didn't say anything.... Just staring at me quietly.
"I feel like kissing you!" He said.
I scoffed.... Why is he asking permission, it's not as if I'm a virgin.
I grab his collar and crashed my lips on his.... First, I was the one in control but I don't know how he managed to gain control.
He opens my mouth and his tongue enters, licking every corner.
Before I knew it, I'm in his arms and I feel him moving.... I don't know if it's the alcohol or I'm just blaming it on the alcohol but I feel extremely horny right now.
He grabs my blouse zipper and pulls it down.
I feel him drop me on a soft surface... without breaking the kiss.
His hand goes under my blouse and grabs my breast... I didn't wear any bra.
He leaves my mouth and attack my neck, biting and sucking on my soft spot.
Soft moans escapes my throat.
His other hand goes to my lower body and his fingers find way into my tight.... wet.... hot pussy.
The adrenaline was too strong for me to comprehend what exactly is going on... All I want is for him to keep touching me.
Slowly, my eyes becomes heavier and heavier.... then darkness swallowed me.
