Thirty-seven. Things you make me do

Thirty-seven. Things you make me do

The deep blue Tesla pulled up at the parking lot of the hospital and the young lady stepped out from it. She was dressed in a white mini dress with thin straps. Her feet were covered in a black knee boot and her head tied in a high ponytail. She arrived at what was supposed to be Ezekiel's ward but found it empty. A nurse was around so she quickly asked.

"Where's the patient here?"

"He's been discharged".

Kayla's eyes nearly popped out. "Discharged?! Since when?"

"Since this morning".

Kayla took a quick deep breath to calm herself down. " Where's he now?"

"He's with his wife in her ward. You shouldn't be looking for a married man", the nurse said with a disgusted look. Even the former's dressing screamed seduction. Yuck!

Kayla glared at her and suddenly grabbed her arm, squeezing it tightly.

"You'd better mind your own business! Who says that she's his wife? What room is he in right now?"

"Miss, behave! I will call the security for you".

"Security?! Then try it and see if you can still work in this country".

As if though she had thought of something, she let her arm go and suddenly slapped herself. The nurse widened her eyes in shock.

*Hey Miss... what are you doing?"

Kayla gave herself three hot slaps and left some slap marks on her face.

"What did I do to you?! I just came around to see my best friend who's been in the hospital and this is what you did to me?"

"Hey...", the nurse was flustered. She never knew that this woman was a witch! Kayla had raised her voice and so attention was garnered. She smirked at the nurse.

Two doctors appeared at the scene immediately. "What's going on?", one of them asked. He looked elderly.

"MD, I didn't slap her".

"Then what's this?", Kayla yelled. "Is this how this hospital works? I will sue you!", she pressured.

" Miss, please calm down ", the younger doctor said. The situation wasn't looking nice and one of their members was the culprit.

"So I can't seey friend? She was admitted her last night".

"Ok. You'll see her. What's her name?"

"Monalissa. Monalissa Walls".

"Oh...the poisoned patient? We'll take you to her", the younger doctor said pulling her away.

"Wait", Kayla said and the doctor stopped.

Kayla looked at the nurse who hung her head as she was being reprimanded. "You should have just let me in. Now look what you got yourself into ".

The nurse looked at her. Kayla turned around and left for Monalissa's ward.

Ezekiel was done viewing the day's programme. He had Kim cancel all his schedule for the rest of the next two days. He sent him on an errand to get hospital supplies for her while he stayed back. The nurse that morning had said to clean her up. He didn't know how to do it and had never done it.

"Walker, you make me do a lot of things".

He walked to the bathroom, and filled a bowl with warm water, and and brought it out alongside the towel. With the directions the nurse had given him, he began cleaning her. Her face. Her hands, which had become quite slender due to lack of fighting and exercises. He chuckled slightly when he held those hands. After that, be cleaned her feet. The nurse had told him not to clean her body due to the chest limb leads that were fastened on her. Based on her recovery, the leads would be removed by evening. He soaked the towel again and wringed water from it. He began cleaning her face again. Her lips were pale and she looked tired. Strangely, he felt his heart hurt.

"Zeke?", that familiar voice entered his ears.

Ezekiel paused in what he was doing and turned to look.

"Kayla. What are you doing here?"

The doctor looked at the duo. Ezekiel signalled him to leave and he did.

"I thought you were hurt", she said trying to mask the jealousy that was brewing. She had actually seen him clean her up.

Ezekiel turned back to Monalissa. He took her hand and began cleaning her. "I wasn't. Who told you I was? Are you keeping tabs on me?"

"I called but you weren't picking up".

"So you came to the hospital?"

"Sorry for keeping tabs on you. But I'm genuinely worried".

At that moment, the tiny fingers that were covered by his own moved, sending a tickly sensation into the man's body. Ezekiel looked up at her, and saw her lashes flutter.

She was awake!, he screamed in his mind. She was finally awake!
