Chapter5

#Chapter5

From the look in her eyes when I told her about my plan I could tell that obviously she was excited but at the same time I know she knew better than to get excited about a possibility of it not happening.

But I was true to my word and was able to proceed with my plan and get her out of the hospital and back home.

I received money from dad this morning which I would transfer into moms account. It pains me to keep such a big secret from my father, but until he returns home he won't know of moms illness.

Finally done at the Bank I made it to the hospital with a small suitcase in hand so that I could pack everything she had with her. The doctor called me early this morning saying that since everything was ready at her new place I was allowed to come and pick her up.

Luckily for him I had a good night's sleep and this lightened my mood even more.

/"His kindness is often clouded by judgmental people Annie/" my mum says as she sits up on her bed talking to a nurse.

I didn't want to know who my mum was ranting about but there was only one thought on my mind. To get this woman out of here.

She needs a shower, fresh clothes, coffee her favourite meals.

/"Look who's here /"My mons doctor says as he stands at the edge of the bed holding a file. They were just sorting out my mom's pills which she would need to take.

Mum looks up and smiles, one great huge smile that tugs at my heart.

I bent down and started packing all her things as mum spent her time talking with her docor. He was giving her all the advise she needs to keep healthy and on track.

/" I think he liked you Jane, spent more than an hour here talking to you I wouldn't be surprised if he came back and drove you home/" Annie said laughing. Her words caught my attention, wondering who this man was.

Hope my mum isn't getting feelings for someone else.

/" You're not completely wrong Annie/" A deep voice says from the doorway. From the position I was in, I glanced back and found a familiar face.

I did not expect to see his face in my mothers hospital room in a million years, it just didn't seem practical.

/" Nicholas, I'm so glad I caught you before you left, thank you for everything you've done/" the doctor says looking between him and my mother.

My eyes widened, I was clearly out of a big fucking loop. What in the world has he done, I'm the reason why my mother is leaving today.

Working my ass of to become a established designer. To be able to afford a house, car to pay the bills and now to give my mum her life back.

/" Its nothing really doctor im just glad I could help in any shape for Jane's health/" he replied shaking the hands of the doctor.

To think that my day started off really well.

I knew better than to make a big scene at the hospital, my anger was fuelling inside and I needed to just get out of this place.

I stood up and made my way over to my mother who instantly grabbed my hand, I could tell she recognised this look on my face.

She's scared.

/" Yes thankyou for helping, I'm Selene her daughter/" I challenged him, would he acknowledge that we have met before.

He stared into my eyes, his eyes not averting at all.

/" I believe I've already been acquainted with your beautiful daughter, jane/" He said his eyes dropping to meet my mothers. I tried not to scoff at his words, calling me beautiful so that if I insult him my mother will forever hate me for it.

/" at the event mom/" I said when she couldn't quite understand how we met previously. There was no oictures that showed that we were at the same event last night.

I let them speak amongst themselves as I continued packing her things. I waited patiently in the lobby as mum said her goodbye's. the nursed enjoyed their gifts from me which they thanked me for.

It wasn't anything special, material things that's all.

Me and mum sat in the car with Benny my driver when she decided to tell me that she invited Nick out for a dinner.

That ladies and gentlemen was the moment benny decided to turn up the volume of the music playing and how I lost my shit.

/" don't be ridiculous darling you know I love you for everything you've done for me/" I shake my head it doesn't seem like it at all.

She placed her hand over mine.

/" all my work was ignored in there, everyone was kissing the mans feet like he owned the city/" I huffed in annoyance. I know I'm being petty and bratty but that man just ticks me off.

I just want to slap that smirk of his face.

/" what's do you have against him sele, did something happen between you two at this event?/" She asks me, she's generally curious and she obviously excelled in diverting the conversation .

She's the queen of doing that,

Luckily Benny had pulled up to the house just in time for me to skip that question completely.

The fact that I was sitting on my mums new bed as she got ready for this meal with Nick was beyond me. Benny was downstairs eating a bowl of pasta which I made as a thank you for helping bringing in everything inside.

Ben has always been mores than an I driver to me and I am truly great ful.

I opened the door to the man of the hour whilst mum was using the toilet. Ben was no help when I asked him to open the door he was busy catching up on the football from his phone to even notice.

/" she will be with you in 5 minutes/" I said quickly letting him in. He looks the same as he did before only he looks to be cleanly shaven and well he smells like sex. Not like he's had sex more like the smell that makes you want him to bend you over the sofa.

Not saying anymore than that.

/" I'm used to people sucking up to me it comes with the money but they should have been thanking you Selene/" his voice was soft as he spoke to me. I wasn't sticking around I was about to drag my own mother out of the bathroom.

I turned around and said a quick thanks before reaching her room.

There wasn't a need to make small talk.

The laughter of my mother and Nick was something of hell as I cleaned upstairs. I would leave after they have making sure that mums sister arrived safely.

I watched from the window as Nick was a true gentlemen to my mother.

Watching mum with another man was weird but I have to admit he was very kind to have been nice to her and accepting this sweet invitation.

Finally as I got home I was able to relax. Stripping off my uncomfortable clothes I sat on the sofa in my jumper and shorts whilst enjoying a burger which I grabbed on the way home.

But my relaxing time was about to be interrupted when I heard he familiar sound of a messenger call.

As soon as my dads name oopped up I raced to my laptop and opened it up.

/"Daddio/"

I said smiling brightly to the camera as I saw the handsome man that is my father. He wore his uniform as he sat at a desk with his face leaning on his left hand.

But instead of my dads cheery reply I found the very furious face of my father.

I know it well because I do the exact same one.

/" boys get your popcorn/" I heard the distant sound of another person in the room. Dad wasted no time in flinging a book behind him.

/" secrets Selene you know I hate them yet it's come to my knowledge you've kept two from me TWO!/" He exclaimed staring directly to the screen.

Two

I wasn't ... Ohhhhh

Forgot they have access to news.

/" you're lucky I can't see a single scratch on your stupid head young lady otherwise I'd be one angry man/" he warned me.

I went to interrupt him but even through a scream I knew better.

/" why in the hell am I only learning now that my beautiful wife has been living in hospital and that she's sick. I may be on the other Sid of the world but shouldn't I know the health condition of my own wife/" I rubbed my head, here was definitely a migraine coming soon.

/" Dad /" I started to explain only to stop when I see dad rub at his eyes. Age is really showing.

He needs to retire and come home.

/" we didn't want to worry you, mums doing better and I just got her home for good so really there's nothing to worry about/" yeah like he would even believe me.

He sighed

/" telling me not to worry is like telling you to not shop, fucking impossible/" through serious moments dad always managed to lighten the mood. It's probably why my parents are still together.

Mum can be mad at him but one funny comment and there booking a weekend away to Dubai.

/" I'm thinking of retiring this year bunny, but it's a difficult process you and your mother will have to wait a little longer/" he tells me. I know he wasn't giving me the full truth but I wasn't going to make things stressful.

/" I understand dad/" I say into the screen. One day I will get my dad back and it will be the best feeling in the world. For me it's worth the wait.

Sadly the video had to be cut short since he was being called by one of the officers.

/" Duty calls /" he signed as he was finishing the call. His mates were trying to get in the shit so they could say goodbye. But being the protective dad he is he cut the call before they saw me.

Dads funny but he is very protective and can get quite serious if he puts his mind to it. It's why they love him over there.

I would have to wait until tomorrow to let mum know about my call with dad. I wasn't quite sure if I was going to tell her he knew but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.
