"I'm never letting you drive again!" Mike yelled rushing to the side of a tree close by to puke
"You're just a wussy"
I'm not going to lie, driving fast can be fun sometimes but letting sandy drive would only give you a heart attack with your anxiety levels spiking to the skies. I wonder how no cops caught us, must be our lucky day I guess
"Let's go already" Damon said sounding like he wanted to be anywhere but here
"Damian grab mike and meet us at the reception, Ethan grab the bag in the trunk"
"Did you really have to stop for those weird fruits?"
"Yes Ethan, I had to stop for those 'weird' fruits"
"Why?"
"I've told you not to talk to me yet you keep doing it, do you want to piss me off more than I already am?"
"No, sorry. I'll get the bag"
"Ethan pass me water from the back seat, mike puked on his flops"
"Here" I said passing him two bottles
"Thanks, might wanna hurry up, sandy and Damon are almost at the entrance"
"Shit" I hurriedly grabbed the bag from the trunk and rushed after her.
"Hi, good day. How can I help you?" A pretty nurse said to sandy.
"Hey, my name is Sandra, the annoyed looking one is Damon and the stupid one with the bag is Ethan, Damian and Mike are almost here too and we wanted to confirm if our friend is still on admission in this hospital"
"Quite the crowd huh, what's his name?"
"Ashley McCarthy"
"Yeah, he's still here. Take the elevator to the 12th floor, third door by your right. He's been expecting you" the pretty nurse said.
"Been expecting us?"
"Yeah, his mom called not too long ago and told me that Mike would be coming over with friends from school for a visit and that I should let you guys up once you get here"
"Oh, thanks"
"You're welcome" we heard behind us. We turned around and found mike in only a tank top, I think he puked on his shirt
"Hey Mikey"
"Hi lanor, how are you?"
"I'm fine, been a while since you came over to the house, Jade misses you"
"I'll come over any day this week, say hi to her for me"
"Will do. I don't think I should tell you this now but..." the pretty nurse or lanor said hesitating.
"Let me guess, Lucian is back?"
"Yes. But I told him that you were busy and didn't have time to stop by the house last week. He's planing to go over to your place on Monday"
"Thanks for the heads up lanor, I'll make sure I kick him in the nuts for you"
"Thanks Mike" she said, giving him a small smile.
"I'll take it from here lanor, see you later"
"Bye, and it was lovely meeting you Sandra"
"Stop trying to hit on my friend lanor" mike teased
"I'm not, she is kinda hot though"
"And we are leaving now. Sandy let's go" mike said ushering her towards the elevator in slight haste
"I didn't know you were friends with a hot nurse, why am I just finding out?" Sandy asked looking suspiciously at him.
"She's my cousin"
"So you have a hot cousin who's a nurse, mind if I get her number? Damian asked
"I thought you wanted Ashley?"
"The number isn't for me obviously, it's for my sister, she's looking for a girlfriend"
"No you can't have her number!" Mike deadpanned
"Worth a try"
"How did you get in touch with Ashley's mom?" I asked out of curiosity
"I have her number, how else would she have known we were coming?" Mike answered with a tone that implied that the question was a stupid one
"And please tell us Mike, how do you have her number?"
"Remember the rich aunt I told you guys about? The one the media has been trying to get information about for a long time but couldn't find anything till now?" Mike asked
"Yeah, I heard she declined the president's invitation once. Was that true?"
"Yes and no. Yes because she didn't even spare the invitation a glance and no because she sent her bodyguard to attend instead so technically she didn't decline it but she did, I don't know"
"Yeah. What about her?"
"Were related"
"We already know that"
"No, I mean we are related. I'm related to Ashley through her"
"How?" Damian asked looking just as confused as I am.
"She's Ashley's mom"
"Sorry could you start again?"
"Look guys, I'm only going to say this once mainly because the elevator has stopped and we've run out of time and also because I'm too lazy to explain again so pay attention." He said looking like he was about to explain the most complex equation.
"Ashley's mom is my rich aunt who owns this hospital, the central mall, the main airport and a few other companies and businesses around the world and also the restaurant we went to last weekend. I'm related to Ashley because my mother's brother is married to Ashley's mom and lanor is the second child of the third child in their family, got it now?"
"Huh? Dude that just makes it more complicated"
"Well I'm not explaining again, we're here"
"You guys go ahead, I don't want him to know I'm here and get worked up" I said to them, I'd be fine waiting outside.
"Don't worry, Ashley's sleeping so he won't know you came with us"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure. His injuries made it hard for him to sleep so they injected a sedative in his drip to aid his sleeping"
"Fine"
"Aunt Ria can we come in?"
"Yes Mike, just don't make any noise" we heard a voice reply from inside the ward room
"You heard her"
"Wow, is this really a ward in a hospital? It looks like a hotel room" Damian said looking around
"Damn, I wish my aunt owns a hospital" sandy said whistling lightly.
Not gonna lie though, the place does look like a hotel room and not the cheap kind
There was soft rug under our feet with Cute expensive furniture littered here and there, the walls were made of dark purple glass and the place smelled like lavender and frosty ice in winter. There was a painting which I immediately recognized in the room. It was a painting of a bloody cliff done by Vasili Dionysius, a VERY expensive piece by the way. He only made one and it's in this room.
"Guys, isn't that the bleeding cliff?"
"Made by Vasili Dionysius, yes" Mike answered
"How is it here? I thought he only ever made one which cost over a gazzilion dollars? Or is it a fake?" Sandy asked suspicion clear in her eyes
"Nope, Vasili is related to Ashley but I won't explain how because it's more complex than my relation with him. He gave it to Ashley for his 16th birthday. They brought it over from the house cause he 'wants it as close as possible at all times' his words not mine. So whenever he has to stay more than one night at the hospital they bring it over to this room, which solely belongs to him hence the color of the room being purple."
"Wow, the life of rich people" Damon sighed with a dreamy look in his eyes
"Ethan is also rich. So are all your parents" mike pointed out
"Yeah but my parents don't own a fucking airport or a hospital!"
"Whatever"
"Aunt Ria? Where are you?"
"In the kitchen love, I'm making some food for Ashley so he can eat with Jessica when she comes over later. He only eats when she does"
"Let's go" mike said walking ahead of us
"It even has a kitchen, man am I jealous!"
"Shut it Damon"
"Fine"
