“Sir smith” Romeo called surprised to see the taxi driver who carried him the other day.

“Romeo, WOW, nice meeting you again. What are you doing here?” Mr Smith asked.

“Dad”Angela called opening her eyes.

“How are you feeling my daughter?”Mr Smith asked touching her face.

“Are you her dad?” Romeo asked.

“Yes Romeo she’s my beautiful damsel “Sir Smith replied.

“Dad, how do you know each other?” Angela asked and seat on the sick bed.

“You know my work, so I access to meet different people” Sir smith said.

“I see, Sir smith”Angela said shaking her head.

“WOW, am happy you are okay. So Romeo are you the guy Angela also told me about, She always say Romeo my good friend, and one other guy like that. Wow that’s great” Sir smith said.

“Dad, you know am not feeling fine, and you didn’t bring chocolate for me, I am chocolate sick” Angela said with an imaginary tears.

“Don’t pretend now, the doctor told me you are fine. Is just a fever.

So, you won’t be eating chocolate instead you will take your drugs”Romeo said.

Sir smith gave him a thumb up.

“Dad are you supporting him now, how can you support that. So, I won’t be eating chocolate”She said with a pout.

“Do you think I can come to visit you without coming with chocolate”Sir smith said.

“Wow! that’s my dad. don’t mind this silly boy” Angela shouted and hug her dad tightly.

“That’s my girl, but you didn’t wait for me to complete my statement. I mean to say I always brought chocolate for you everytime i wanted to come and visit you.

But, today I didn’t remember because I was actually worried about you” Sir Smith said.

“Huh huh” Angela mumbled cuddling her dad.

“You don’t need to worry, I came with a lot of chocolate” James said coming inside.

“James you came back, I thought you said your dad asked you up come home?” Angela asked.

“Yes. but I couldn’t make it, I missed the flight, so I couldn’t go.

I wanted to go on train but I have a second thought and called my parent that I couldn’t make it” Jame’s explained breathing heavily and faster.

“So how did you know am here?” Angela asked.

“Angela, you don’t even allow him to relaxed, can’t you see he is breathing so fast” Romeo said.

“Hannah told me you are at the hospital, I was so scared, so I ran all the way here” James replied trying to catch his breathe.

“You shouldn’t have run like this. do you wanna kill yourself” Angela said.

“Don’t worry about me, how are you feeling now?, I was scared when I heard that you are here?” James asked.

“She’s very okay now, she’s such a silly girl, she got everyone scared”Romeo said.

“Dad tell him not up scold your damsel, tell him not to say anything again, I will cry if you don’t answer me” Angela said with an imaginary tears.

“Don’t scold my baby girl, hmmm, but don’t forget to talk sense into her, if she does something wrong” Sir smith said smiling.

“Hi sir” Jame’s greeted.

“Hello James, how have you being” Sir smith replied.

“Sir, we haven’t met before so how did you know my name?” James asked.

“Well I Know you but you don’t know me, and don’t forget she just mentioned your name, that’s why am very sure you are the James. The guy who wanted to protect my daughter” Sir smith said.

“Hmm, I know she’s the one who told you that, her case is more than that of a parrot” Romeo shake his head smiling.

“You are right Romeo, she’s the only one that’s capable of telling me. even her mum was jealous the way the both of us are very closed.

She wanted to come with me. but i couldn’t wait for her, I was scared that my daughter state is critical, But am happy seen she’s fine” Sir smith said.

“Sisi” A girl of age twelve ran into the ward.

A woman follow her behind.

She ran and hugged Angela tightly.

She cuddle her.

“Are you okay now”She asked without disengaging the hug.

“Yes am okay my sweetheart, why didn’t you go to school?”Angela asked.

“So you thought I won’t come, my daughter is not feeling fine and you expect me to stay at home, that’s not going to happen.

Don’t pretend you care about her more than I do, I don’t know why she’s very close to you, she supposed to be close to me.

Am her mother” Angela mum said with am eyeroll.

“You see what I was saying, she repeated it here in the hospital” Sir smith said.

Romeo and James smiled.

“Hey, what did you say” Angela Mum asked and hold his ear.

“I didn’t say anything madam, forgive me I was only trying to let them know that woman are always jealous, when they see their children are very closed to their father.

Is not like they don’t also love them but always think he’s given more attention to the children than them”Sir Smith said.

“Am not jealous, I have been seeing you for many years, am even happy you love both of our children, I hate you.

You don’t give me attention again” Angela mum said with a pout.

“I love you, if you hate me”Sir smith said.

And she blushed.

“Sir smith, you shouldn’t have told her you love her, see how she was blushing.

If she start blushing everyday. She will became more prettier again and they will take her away from you.

Do you want that to happen”Angela younger sister said.

“Yes my baby is very right, I know many guys always stare at her. Do you forget I told you that a guy woo her the other day we went to the mall to get something.

They couldn’t believe she’s my mother, so it will be good, if you follow what Lily said “Angela said.

“Sisi, guess what?” Lily said.

“You know am not good at guessing” Angela replied.

“Liar, I know you are very good at guessing, so just guess” Lily said with a pout.

“Hmmmm”Angela muttered and does some thinking.

“Am waiting oooo” Lily said.

“You brought me a pack of chocolate candy”Angela shouted.

“Yope! You are right”She shouted.

“WOW! Hi five”Angela said.

Romeo was looking at this, the memory of him and Cindy, chasing each other and playing together, swimming, riding, learning, dancing, eating together keeps coming to his head.

He became emotional but come back to reality when James threw a question at him.

“Do you love Pamela?”James whispered.

“Do you love her?, Angela”Romeo asked.

“Why are you answering question with question, it’s obvious you love Pamela” James said.

“And is obvious you also like Angela” Romeo said.

“Why don’t you walk straight to her and tell her you love her”James said.

“If it was so easy why haven’t you tell Angela you loved her, check yourself” Romeo said.

“It was because of you that’s why I haven’t tell her” She’s attracted to you, so I think if you asked Pamela out, then I can asked her out. She’s always around you 24/7. James said.

“Are you normal, she’s always around me as how. Except from the class, and anytime I took a break from the restaurant, that when she’s always with me. And one hour tutorial.

So what are you saying”Romeo defend himself.

“But, she almost spent all her time with you” James said.

“Don’t used that as an excuse. We are just friends, and she also like a sister, tell her your mind am not disturbing you, “Romeo whispered to him.

“Sir, ma I will go to the doctor for her discharge. So that we can go back to school” Romeo said and stood up.

“No Romeo, I want to spend time with my family. Pleaseeee “Angela pleaded.

“Don’t mind her, I will go, you should stay here” Sir Smith said.

“Okay sir” Romeo said.

“Pamela” Romeo called.

She hissed and didn’t wait.

“Please just hear me out”Romeo said and run after her.

“Let me be, I don’t want to talk to you” Pamela yelled.

“Why? Tell me the reason why you don’t wanna speak to me, did I offend you, I know you are angry by what you saw.

But I promised you that’s not the truth.

Please trust me”Romeo said holding her hand.

Pamela took his hand away and was about to leave.

Romeo hold her from behind.

“I won’t allow you to go not until you listen to what I have to say, She’s just a friend, I promised” Romeo said.

“Girlfriend, isn’t here, she’s your girlfriend” Pamela said.

“Why do you think so?”Romeo asked.

“I have every reason to think she’s your girlfriend, atleast both of you are always together at the restaurant, who could tell if you two are having something romantic” Pamela said.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
