VISITING TRICIA

👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠

Addy finished making the samosas and was getting ready to go visit Tricia. Walking to the garage, she found the sports car that had not yet been touched by anyone covered with a cloth, pulling the cover off the car she couldn't help but cough because of the amount of dust that came out of the cloth.

  She finished cleaning up the insides of the car and drove off in the car after saying a silent prayer. Arriving at the hospital which she was familiar with, she went to the elevator that took her up to the place she knew Tricia would be and she found her there attending to a patient.

"Hi, you are here to see nurse Tricia right" a lady said to Addy with a smile

"Yeah, how did you know"

" I just made a guess because you were staring at her, please have a seat and I'll go inform her" said the lady politely making Addy nod as she sat down. Tricia came in after her session with the patient.

"Hey" she said

"Just hey, are you for real, I've been sitting for so long now I have a sore butt" Addy said rubbing her buttocks

"I'm sorry I was busy with a patient, so what brings you here"

" I'm sorry I lashed out at you, please spare me" Addy said holding her ears

" I won't let you off so easily though,let's have lunch together and bills on you" Tricia said with a wink after which Addy walked to the lunch box she brought with her

"Well look what I brought for lunch"Addy said shaking the lunch box. " Oh my God you brought lunch for me, what is in there"

"It's samosas I figured out you were craving samosas so I made some"

"You made them? Yourself?"

"Yes infact I did" Addy said making Tricia place her hands on her chest

"Quit being dramatic and dig in" Addy said as she started unwrapping the samosas with the foil she had wrapped them up in to keep them warm, and Tricia after taking a bite closed her eyes to savor the taste. " Yunno you should cook more often, I mean God blessed your hands to be a chef but you'd rather polish your nails than cook"

"You have a new desk mate?"

"Huh?" Tricia said

" The lady who welcomed me, who is she. The short one with blonde hair and red lipstick"

" Oh she's not an employee, she's the daughter of Dr. Smith."

"Then how did she know I came here to see you"

"Did you forget that you're famous, she must've seen a picture of the both of us together or maybe she's a fan" Tricia said giggling

"She looks more composed than some other fans"

"Yeah the ones who scream like wild banshees. Take a walk with me" Tricia said leading Addy out of the office and down the elevator, heading towards the cafeteria for the hospital staff when Addy spotted something written on the board. " What's that written up there" she asked.

" It says bronze" Tricia said

"And it means?"

" Well the director of the hospital decided to separate the nurses cafeteria from that of the doctors, so we nurses are bronze and they are gold"

"So where do they stay then" Addy asked and Tricia pointed to a pavilion where humans wearing white coats can be seen.

" He's so dumb, wait isn't that a green uniform there. Since when did doctors start wearing green"

"She's not a doctor Addy, she's Rachel and she's the head nurse, she's our senior."

" Senior? I haven't seen her around before now"

"Exactly, she's new but got the position of head nurse within a week of her arrival. You do understand me right?" Tricia said

" Mm shameless, it's been long since I last saw Beatrice, where is she."  Addy said looking at the usual spot where Beatrice always stay in the cafeteria

"She was moved recently"

"Moved? To where?"

" To the golden cafeteria, that's where she serves now"

" Oh okay I'll go get a cup of cappuccino from her" Addy said and was walking towards the pavilion when Tricia held her back. "Is something the matter" Addy said

"We can't go there it's for the seniors"

"I'm not going to sit with them now am I, I just want to grab my drink the we can leave, come on let's go". Addy said and started walking away while Tricia walked behind her

" Hi Bumblebee" Addy said smiling

" Oh look it's my little coffee bean" said the middle aged woman named Beatrice

"I heard you've been transferred to the'golden pavilion' that is so dumb don't you think" Addy said laughing

"Well I had no other choice. I'm guessing my little coffee bean is here for a cup of cappuccino"

"You know me so well Beatrice"

"Mrs Dumore, you keep giving too much importance to Addy and that's why she comes to a place she doesn't work in to get coffee" Tricia said

" Well what can I say nurse Tricia, she's special after all isn't she."

"Don't be a jelly bean Tricia or is it jealous bean" Addy said making fun of Tricia causing Tricia to roll her eyes.
