What do you wanna talk about?"She asked, sitting back down."Mark, over to you,"Devon said."Me? You are the boss,"He replied."I know but I am also a patient, I don't wanna stress myself and you don't want that too so sir can you do the honors?""Fine, Lau, I like Lau, Devon thank you for giving me that,"He said, directing a thumbs up at him."Just talk,"Devon replied."Okay, Lau a few more people are gonna be around due to some situations that we didn't see coming."He explained casually, making poor Lau confused even more."A few people? Okay, who are they?" She asked, looking from one face to the other."Bodyguards,"Mark replied."Wow, why? Are we in danger or something? Did he offend a mafia lord who is now after him?"She asked, making them burst out laughing but looking at her expression he could tell she was asking seriously, before he could chip in Mark started talking while trying to hold his laughter."No, dear not a mafia lord, it's something worse than that."He s
"He is not back with his ex!!!"Was the thought that ran through Laura's mind for most of the day, that's the only thing that she got from the whole talk, not that she didn't listen to the other parts but the guilty she had been feeling suddenly left her, Devon didn't cheat on anyone by wanting to kiss her, she felt relieved, she still wish they can talk about it and also move on from it cuz she didn't want their friendship to be tainted by something that didn't even happen.When she had left them in the palm house she had met Percy, she had then offered to help her with the laundry, Percy had refused at first but she later agreed and while they were doing that, Percy had brought up Devon's ex topic talking about how she was spreading lies and lots of other things, she had then used the opportunity to find out more about the said woman, what she found out didn't much interest her, all she got was that they broke up about two months ago and they had not gotten back together as the ex h
He watched as she gently turned around to face him at his wordsHe didn't know why he had said that but it was already out and it was the truth he couldn't deny that even though he knew it was too early for them to be anything."What did you say?"She asked moving her hair from her face."I said I like you, you are funny, nice, and easygoing, you don't care if I am a huge name, you don't even talk about my social status and that's so new for me, maybe that's why it so easy to like you,"He answered truthfully, maybe that's why he liked her when he was with her he doesn't need to pretend or hide anything cuz she didn't care."That's it what kind of like are we talking about here?"She asked."The kind of like you think I am talking about,"He answered back."Should I be worried?""About what?""I don't know, I just feel we don't know each other much I can't deny that you... Well you, you know what I am trying to say right?"She fumbled with her words in her cute voice, he liked it when
He frowned, the thought of another person here instead of Laura didn't sit well with him, he was grateful that she came instead."Thank God you came instead,"He let out.She laughed."May I ask, if your co-workers know me so well then how come you never heard of me until I came to the hospital?"He couldn't help asking."That's because I am not interested in celebrity gist so whenever they start talking about those I either wall away politely or I just tune out when they are talking,"She answered."Aha, then do you perhaps know a male nurse? He good me his name but I have forgotten, he kept making fun of me that day and I swore to get back at him but I forgot."He said remembering the male nurse that had attended to him that day, he had forgotten about his revenge plan, he couldn't even remember his name."There are two male nurses there is Cross and Nathan but Cross is currently on leave so it can't be him, it should be Nathan,"She disclosed."Yeah, I remember, it's Nathan,"He re
"Dude, calm down you are making a fuss over such a small thing, "Laura said to Devon who was almost having a mental breakdown cuz of a syringe."Easy for you to say you are not the one who is gonna get the shots, no one ever told me I had to take injections again, why didn't you tell me I had injections to take, why can't I just continue with the drugs?"He asked with much distaste."This,"She said pointing at the syringe containing the injection."This is different, you are taking this because of your flu, not cuz of the legs,"She explained."Same, difference, I already told the doctor back at the hospital that I didn't want any shots aside from the once I got at the hospital and he agreed, why will he back out if his promise that's a breach of trust,"He complained."Devon, whatever agreement you had with the surgeon doesn't count in this case, and It's not even as painful as you think,"She replied as she finished setting up the shot, they were both in his room and he has been m
"What is it, Mark?"Devon asked, and Laura excused herself to go back to her room,"You don't have to leave Laura,"Devon said when she made to leave the room."Nah, I should give you guys some privacy. It seems like real serious stuff by the look on Mark's face, just call me when you are doing or when you need anything."She answered making her way out of the room before he could stop her.She walked the small distance to her room and went straight to the bathroom to wash her hands, she wondered what news Mark had that made him look the way he did, must be something serious, she shook the thought off and she walked back into her room and sat on the bed, the thought once again made its way Into her head and she scolded herself,"If you wanted to know what it is so much you could have just stayed back there,"She said out loud, her phone binged and she was grateful for the distraction, she picked up her phone and saw that she got a mail from an unfamiliar email address she clicked on i
"Laura, say something,"He said his voice sounding intense even to his ear, but she still didn't say a word, she just sat there, her beautiful eyes set on him, he mentally counted to ten and claimed her lips with his, she tasted better than he anticipated, her soft rosy lips melt against his, he kissed her softly at first, felt her surrender to his touch, the soft whimper from her lips, her soft and warm lips parted slightly allowing his tongue to slip inside her mouth, the warm welcoming heat of her mouth made him weak to his kneel, he could feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath his nose, fingers carding through her hair, he kissed her deeper felt her kiss him in return, making the mating of mouths even more intense.He felt himself slowly falling off his wheelchair which made him part their lips as his legs were complaining in their uncomfortable positions, he gently kissed the top of her nose and watch her slowly open her eyes, she stunned him by moving forward and kissing him
"Devon!!!"Laura heard someone screamed and she turned around to see a pretty woman coming towards them waving nonstop, they were at the beach, for the picnic they had planned on having, Who could she be? She thought and turned to ask him."Who is she?""That's Sophia,"Oh, not the person she thought it was, ever since she heard of Devon's ex anyone pretty woman that comes around she usually thinks it her, that's how she had thought Mark's wife Eva was her until Mark had introduced her, speaking of Eva, she is the friendliest person Laura has the privilege of meeting, she thought that would be Susan but Eva was the epitome of sweetness she even made sure Devon referred to her as a mom until she left, which the poor leg-less man had found tormenting but he couldn’t say no to Eva and it was so wholesome watching them."Who is Sophia?"She asked wondering who she was, "I didn't know we are expecting visitors today we would have stayed in the house." She added, she couldn’t blame herself,
