19. Beginning of a new life.

"You will be doing that yourself because you are invited as well and you must say yes and you can bring your lovely brother along and also your Mr right as well...what was his name again?" Patricia asked anxiously.

"Richie." Alexa answered.

"Yeah him too. I can not believe you guys are still together." Patricia said.

"Well I guess I should tell you now since there is no need to wait. I and Richie are not together anymore. We broke just yesterday." Alexa replied without a smile on her face.

"Oh my gosh!! what happened girl? Come on, you definitely have to tell me everything." Patricia said.

"I will tell you everything, but not today please. Come on we have other things to talk about and hangout, do you not think so?" Alexa asked.

"Definitely. We would hang out and have our girl time." Said Patrica.

"We will talk more during the party, that is if I would be chanced to attend because girlfriend work has been so hectic and since I am still kinda new. They expect more from me so I have to give my best." Alexa replied.

"I would really want us to see during the party. We have a lot to talk about. Please try OK?" Patrica pleaded.

"I will. But if I would not be able then I will tell you before that day and we can fix our own day to meet. How about that my friend?" Alexa asked.

"OK. No problem. Take care of yourself and I will talk to you later. Bye girlfriend." Patricia said.

"Bye. Kisses." said Alexa and she hung up.

As soon as Alexa was done with the call, she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Alexa shouted to whomever was at the door.

It was Mrs Beatrice."Excuse me madam. "

"Oh Beatrice, yes what can I do for you?" Alexa asked politely.

"Your meal has been served on the dinning. Or will you want me to bring it here to your room madam?" Beatrice asked.

"Food. Hmm I am not really hungry Beatrice. I am actually OK." Alexa said.

"Oh OK madam. Maybe later." As soon as Beatrice turned to open the door, it was as if Alexa stomach wanted to riot with its owner and made a very terrible disturbing and troubling noise. It was very embarrassing to Alexa. She was so shy as she raised her head to look at Beatrice who was patiently looking at her with a smile.

"Ma'am, you are hungry, please come and eat." Beatrice said.

"Well OK." She stood up and followed Beatrice out into the hallway leading straight to the dinning table.

She was so shocked to see so many dishes served.

"Oh Beatrice. All this for one person or are there other people coming to join me to eat?" Alexa asked anxiously.

"No ma'am. It is for you, just you." Beatrice replied.

"Please take your seat." There was a man well dressed like a waiter who stood there as well. He wished to draw out her seat so she could sit down.

"Oh thank you Sir." Alexa said to the man.

The man and Beatrice said "Bon appetite ma'am." And they left Alexa.

She sat there lookin at all the dishes and wondered which one she would start digging into. They all looked mouth watering especially the chicken and spaghetti so she decided to start with those, she had wine poured into her glass already and water on another glass.

The meal was indeed nice, she looked around to make sure no one was looking at her and she rushed the meal because honestly speaking she had not eaten all day.

When she was done with the ration she could consume, she looked at her tummy and saw it was already out and she was so full already.

Then Beatrice came out with two other young ladies to help clear the table.

"Thank you so much, the meal was super tasty, I really enjoyed it Beatrice." Alexa complimented her.

"I am glad you enjoyed it ma'am." She smiled back at Alexa.

"Hmm I want to go to the room and rest for a while if you do not mind." Alexa said to Beatrice with a tone as if she was asking for permission.

"Rest well Ma'am, you need it." Beatrice said.

So Alexa left and went back to the room and stared at the bed wandering if she could sleep. Alexa decided to just lie down for a while it. As soon as her head rested on two pillows which she placed side by side on each other and before you know it Alexa was sound asleep.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Mr Williams woke up. From the darkness outside the window, she could tell that it was already way past the afternoon.

She shifted her eyes from the window to the boy resting his head on the hospital bed. It was her son, Jerry. Mrs Williams smiled as she stroked his hair.

Her slight movement awakened the teenager. Jerry lifted his head from the bed. He smiled at his mother.

"Hey, mum. How are you feeling?" Jerry asked.

"I think I am feeling better. Why are you still here at this time?" Mrs Williams questioned him.

"I came to see you. You and sis were nit at home when i cane from school. So I called her. I rushed here immediately sis told me that you were at the hospital," Jerry answered.

"Have you had lunch and dinner since you came?"

"Yeah, I have. Do you need anything? I can go and get it for you."

"No, nothing. I am okay. You have school tomorrow, don't you? Go home now," Mrs Williams said.

"I want to stay here with you. If I go home early tomorrow, I can still make it to school. I won't be late," Jerry said.

"I am your mother and you have to listen to me. Go home and rest well. You can't stay here at the hospital, okay?"

"But"

"No buts. I will be fine. I am not a baby that needs to be watched neither am I an old lady. I will be fine."
