Chapter 8: Confession

"The boss wants to see you" one of them said. Elvis froze right on the spot he was wishing for the floor to open up and swallow him.

"Why.....do..es he want to s..ee us?" Elvis asked.

"When you get there you will know". Just as they where about to drag them John managed to escape leaving Elvis behind

"Go after him now!!!!!" The leader of the guards shouted. They dragged Elvis to Alan's office and knocked on the door

"Knock knock" after knocking there was complete silence until they heard his response

"Come in ". They pushed Elvis inside the office making him stagger and fall.

"To what do I own this special visit?" Alan said standing up from his chair.

Elvis could feel his soul leaving him. The aura from this man is heavy and dangerous.

"I'll ask you this question once" he paused and squat to face Elvis

"And I pray you don't play with your life" his deep voice sent adrenaline to all of Elvis body

"Where are my stuffs?" Alan asked

"I don't know what you are talking about" Elvis said

"I'll ask one more time".

"WHERE ARE MY STUFFS?" Elvis burst into tears

"I really don't know. Am saying the truth am not lying" Elvis said shaking.

"Well since our friend here don't want to tell us the truth why don't we try another way" Alan said standing up and straightening his suit.

"Take him" Alan said.

"No please!!!"

"Don't take me!!!"

"Please!!!"

"I don't really know where it is!!"

"Please"

"Am sorry" he kept pleading till his voice was heard no more.

"What of the other kid?" Alan asked Caleb

"Uhmmm he... He.. ran...out" Caleb said sweating

"What did you just say?" Alan said shouting at Caleb. They might be friends or best of friends but when it comes to business Alan does not " give a f**k"

"I want him before sunset" Alan said with no expression on his face.

Elsa was to discharged by noon. She tried calling Elvis but he was not picking up his phone. " Shouldn't he be here to take me home" Elsa thought inwards. Her phone rang jolting her out of her thought

"Oh she's sweet but a psycho"

"A little bit psycho"

"At night she's screaming" a song by Ava Max was her ringing tone. It happens to be her favorite song. She hummed to the tune before picking up her phone

"Hello" she said

"Oh.. Hi it's Jacob " the caller said from the other line. Immediately she heard his name and voice she immediately removed the phone from her ear and covered it clearing her voice well before talking

"Uhmmm sorry. You are who?"

"Jacob in your place of work" he repeated

"Oh hey" she said with a wild smile on her lips

"How you doing? Are you still at the hospital?" He asked

"Yeah, I'll be discharged today"

"If you don't mind I'll come and pick you up " he said

"Ohh you don't have to worry, If you are busy" she said but heaven knew that she was lieing she was currently at cloud nine.

"Don't worry I'll pick you up by 17:00pm " he said

"If you insist"

"Yeah, later" he ended the call. Elsa didn't remove the phone after he hung up she was so happy that she started dancing around the ward.

"Oh my gosh"

"Oh my God"

"Did he just talked to me" she said dramatically.

"His voice is so cute I could listen to it all day". It was taking forever for the clock to tick 5. When it was finally 5:00 she jumped out of the bed and changed her cloth in a flair flower pattern gown that stopped right at her knee.

"I look grate". She heard a knock

"Come in" it was not other than Jacob look charming, handsome name it all. He was holding a rose on his left hands.

"Hi. You look beautiful" he said

"Hi. You aren't bad yourself" she said making them both to burst into laughter

"Shall we" he said handing her the rose

"Sure" she smiled. She picked off her few stuffs and flowed him out. At the counter she signed some documents and left with him. He brought a car.

"Is that yours" she asked when we saw him opening the booth.

"What do you think? It was stolen" he said with a wink. She could feel butterflies throwing a party in her tummy.

"Sto..len" she said with a look of uncertainty.

"Am kidding, get in" he said opening the door for her.

"Thank you". They kept driving in silence till he asked about how she got to the hospital. After telling him the whole story her stomach grumbled.

"That wasn't me" she said quickly denying the noise.

"Uh huh" he said teasing her

"Am serious" as she said that the sound came again.

"That's it. I'll stop at an restaurant close by" he said turning the car.

"You don't have to" she said trying to stop him.

"I can't let a princess stay hungry" he said making her blush heavily.

At restaurant B &K

"They where both served their orders. All these while she was eating Jacob kept staring at her.

"Uhm is there something on my face?" she asked nervously

"I think so" he said plainly

"Really!!" she asked

" Yeah and it's beauty" he said resting his hands on the table and continued staring at her

"Come on. Stop been cheeky " she said blushing heavily

"Am been serious" after he said that she couldn't eat, she was too nervous to eat.

"Uhm I have always wanted to tell you something but I don't know how to go about it" he said breaking the awkward silence.

"Owkay. Am listening"

"Well I have always liked you" he dropped the bombshell. She open her mouth to utter a word but nothing was coming out.

"Say something" Jacob said nudging her

"Uhmm... I ..uhmm it's too early I don't know understand" she said

"I have always liked you from the very beginning. If you remember last year's winter when you didn't come with your sweater. I was the one who left the other one you wore that day" he said truthfully while looking at her. After that he has also been helping her she herself didn't know.

"It.. was... Was you?" she kept stammering she does know exactly why she was stammering but I was a huge hit to find out that her crushed has always like her.

" I think it's late I'll drop you at home and give you some time to process all this news" he said clearing their billings.

" Thanks "was all she could utter. He dropped her at the front of her door

"Uhmm. Thanks for today" she said

"You welcome anytime, any day" he said winking at her. She waved at him before walking to her house. Immediately she got inside she slammed the door

"What the hell!!!!!!!" She screamed....
