Sparks Fly 43. Hospitalized
Alicia knew she couldn't stay mad at Tanya too long. She had just finished breakfast, about to leave for work. Yet the door to Tanya's room was still shut since yesterday. She sighed deeply and glanced toward Tanya's room from where she sat, holding her coffee mug with both hands, with an empty plate of ham, cheese, and toast set before her. Only her coffee remained; about a quarter full.She set the cup down on the table, and grabbed her phone, dialing Tanya's number. It was still switched off.She got up and went to the door."Tanya?" She called. She didn't get a response. She called twice more. Still nothing. Then she began to get worried. She knew how dangerous Tanya could be to others, did she do something to herself? "Tanya!" She banged the door repeatedly, yelling her name louder each time.She didn't even hear the dragged footsteps until the key turned in the lock. She gasped, pausing mid-strike."What is it?" Tanya growled, looking disheveled.Alicia lost control, and embraced

"Doctor, doctor, how's my son?" Sofia asked, her, and James rushing to the old man as soon as he left the ER."Don't worry, he's stable now. We're just gonna keep him under observation for a while, just to make sure he's perfectly fine, and then he can leave with you.""Oh, thank God," Sofia gushed, making the sign of the Cross. "Can we see him now?""The nurses will move him to his room first, and then you can go see him. He's fine now, don't worry." He smiled kindly at Sofia."And when you get home, ease him into his normal routines. Right now all he needs is care, and rest.""Of course, doc. We'll take care of him," James said, hugging Sofia to his side. "Thank you, doc.""My pleasure," he replied."Doctor Patricio, doctor Patricio, you're needed on floor six, room 8." The speaker on one wall announced."That's my cue, take care you too." He left and took the nearest elevator.A nurse walked out of the elevator as the doctor went in, and she walked up to Sofia, and James. She was sl

"Ok, they've left Santa Fe, Harry. Take us to Sofia's place instead. We'll wait for her there." Jessi directed, ending her call with Sofia."Alright, ma'am," Harry nodded, changing lanes. He turned at the next intersection and went back in the direction from which he had come.They arrived at Sofia's quickly, and Jessi let herself, and Rico in with her spare key to the place. Tanya held the other spare."I'm starving, want something?" Jessi asked Rico as she went into the kitchen."A sandwich will be nice," he called after her. "No meat!" He added, and Jessi's head popped into view from the kitchen.She winked, "Of course, I know how to make a Rico sandwich, hun."Rico stared at her, caught slightly unawares. Just then the toast machine beeped, and Jessi slipped back into the kitchen.A few minutes later, Jessi brought a tray of sandwiches, and orange juice to the table, and they heard a car enter the driveway."That must be them," Jessi said, wiping her hands on the back of her pants.

"Tye, I'm gonna lock up, ok? Don't answer the door. Dinner's in the microwave. I already preset it, so you just have to push the button I showed you, ok?""Alright, mom.""Now, how do I look?" "Stunning," he replied.She curtsied. "Why, thank you, good sir."Sofia checked herself out in the mirror. Tanya had been doing her shopping for a while now, and she had to say, the choices were beautiful.Tonight she was in a backless long-sleeved blouse. It looked like deep space, its tiny sequins twinkled slightly, mimicking the stars. She complemented it with dark form-fitting pants and a pair of heels. A string of pearls wrapped her neck, and its matching bracelet, her right wrist."Alright," she came and sat on the bed, next to him. "You don't need to stay up. And call if you need anything.""Come on, Mom, are you getting cold feet?""What?" She dragged it. "Of course not." She got to her feet as if to prove her point, but didn't take any step further."I'll be fine, mom. Now, go." "Ah,

"Ted, this is the something billionth voice mail I'm leaving you. You're not taking my calls, you're not responding to my messages. Now I know I yelled all sorts of things and said all what-nots in some of them. And I know I have also said this is the last one a couple of times, but can you say something? Anything... Please?"She hung up and dropped her head on the table with a loud groan."The things we do for love," she said.Tanya gasped, jerking her head off the table. She glanced around. The light had gone out, but she could tell where she was. This was the dining/kitchen area of her apartment. She grabbed her phone hurriedly and went through it."Thank God," she sighed in relief. "It was just a bloody dream."***"She finally admitted it, Rico. Sofia is going out with James."Jessi had called Rico to come pick her up from Sofia's place, and he did.He, with Harry driving, was now taking her home."What's on your mind now?" Rico asked, exhaling deeply. He was unsure what this mean

Sofia knocked on the door. She knew she was very close to the top of the unwanted visitor list, but she came anyway, because she needed her best friend."Who's there?""It's me, Jess. Can I come in?"Jessi hesitated, the seconds stretched for hours, and then she opened the door."Hey."Her voice was flatter than Earth.Sofia slipped in, and Jessi shut the door, while she stood there in the sitting room, unsure how to act.Jessi came in and dropped onto the sofa farthest from her. It was only then that Sofia sat. She looked and felt nervous.The atmosphere seemed like it would burst at a needler's touch."Jessi, I know I'm not the most welcome person right now, but I had nowhere else to go. I have a huge problem.""What?""I felt the spark with James."Jessi sat up. "I'm sorry, what?""I'm so so confused, right now." Sofia shook her head, and let it drop into her hands.Jessi finally broke free of her shock. "Wait... Isn't that impossible?" "My thoughts exactly. But I felt it." Sofia s

Someone pounded at the door.Sofia and Jessi glanced at each other and rushed out to the balcony.They could see Tanya approaching the building."Jessi!" Trish's voice pleaded from the other side. "You've got to help me or Tanya will kill me."Jessi and Sofia glanced at each other. Their earlier squabble suddenly seemed irrelevant.Jessi opened up hurriedly."Oh my God," Sofia let out.Trish was not alone.***"Tanya!" Jessi yelled from her balcony. "What's this about?""Why don't you ask Trish? Or any of them? I heard them run up to your apartment. And when she's done, ask her to come down here, so we can settle this once, and for all. Nothing else matters to me, coming from you.""Let me try," Sofia said to Jessi, smiling slightly. "Tanya," she called. "Please, there's no need for this.""Oh, you're here as well, Sofia. That's good. You, be the judge! Listen to what she has done, and then tell me, why I should not send them all to hell!"Sofia turned to the girls. They were genuinel

A few weeks later..."Are you ready, Tye?" Sofia called, stepping into the doorway. Her hands were busy fixing her left earring. She looked dolled up, in an ox blood evening gown."Almost," he replied.Tye was sitting on the sofa at the foot of his bed. He was doubled over, putting on his shoes. Sofia came, and knelt next to him, giving him a hand with slipping them on."Don't you look dapper," she smiled, getting to her feet.He was in an oxblood suit over a black dress shirt, and pants. His dark brown hair was styled in a curly undercut. He smiled at Sofia, and she gave him a forehead kiss."James is almost here." She adjusted his collar, as she spoke.Just then, the car horn beeped twice.Tyler rushed out of the room, and Sofia followed close behind, shaking her head at him.She grabbed her bag, coat, and locked up behind her.James was standing next to his Range Rover Velar, talking with Tyler.The look on his face as she approached said it all."What?" Sofia smiled as she approac
