"Why did he sound like Big Uncle Henry?." I thought in confusion.
I stared at his well-defined shoulder that was standing in front of me.
"Sorry sir, we had a patient who left her bed."
That was the voice of the nice doctor lady, the lady that reminded me of my mama.
I pipped from behind him to take a look at the lady's face.
"Oh thank goodness, she's with you." She said she immediately grabbed the hand of the man and shook him vigorously.
I stepped out of his shadow and then looked at the lady then back at the face of Zay…
"I am well rested and ready to leave," I announced.
I had a long day ahead of me and a lot to do. It was my first time in town and I couldn't spend all day laying around in a hospital, I needed to get going and start a new life immediately.
"Dear, I need to examine you before I allow you to leave." She sounded like she was a few inches to pinching my cheek from how nice she sounded. "And we are still trying to get through to your family."
"No!!, no!." I waved my hands in the air when I heard her say the word 'family'.
They can never know I am here, they will drag me back home and probably bury me next to my mother or worse make me a sex slave.
I fell on my kneel with tears streaming down my cheeks, I held her feet and placed my forehead on her toes.
"Please let me go!!, don't call them, I beg you."
"Why? Is there something wrong? Did they do something? Did you sneak out of the house and engage in such an accident?." She had so many questions and I only had a few answers to what she had asked.
I looked up at her and then stepped back.
"My mother is dead and I have no family apart from her," I told her.
"Do you have any extended family?." I turned to him and nodded.
"I do," I replied and I saw him smile.
He glanced at the doctor who looked worried and then he stretched his hand towards me, I took it and he pulled me back on my feet.
"She's running temperature." He panicked.
"I will sit with her for a while and as for her bills send it to me I will do the payment."
This had to be a dream, why were they nice but most especially him? Why did he want to pay my bills when he barely even knew me?
Is he trying to kidnap me? or sell me? What is this?
"Calm down Quiana, can't someone be nice to us for once." The voice in my head spoke loudly.
It began to feel much more loud and accurate, it was like having another me inside my head but she seemed more confident and calm than I was.
"Let's go for a walk around the hospital." He suggested out of the blue.
"Okay but first what's your name ?." I asked him.
I was having difficulties pronouncing his name.
"Zayden." He told me.
"Zay…"
"Den." He laughed. "Zay…den."
"Zaydin." I smiled at him.
Zaydin burst into laughter when he heard me pronounce his name, his laughter was ridiculous and I couldn't help but smile at him. He placed his hand on my shoulder while leading me in a specific direction.
"So tell me, what's your name?."
"Man, I already told you!!." I scolded him.
"Quiana Jennifer." I finally said.
I saw the confusion on his face.
"Two female names? that's very new." He smiled at me.
"He is so nice!!."
The voice in my head told me, I couldn't help but smile at the voice in my head, I turned my line of sight to him staring at his face directly.
^^^^
I smiled at Mr Zayden while he was signing me out of the hospital, I could feel my inner self jumping with joy.
"Em… sorry." I stood on my toes trying to get a perfect glimpse of the lady behind the counter.
"I got into an accident while I was driving, I want to make inquiries about my car," I spoke timidly.
I could hear my voice shaking with every word I said.
"A car?." Zayden asked me.
"Yes."
"But you're too young to drive."
He was one hundred per cent right and I didn't know how to explain how I got a car or why I was driving. I had no choice but to act deaf to his words.
"Two women admitted you into the hospital and left a statement saying your car is at an automobile shop a few miles out of town." The receptionist said with a beautiful smile.
I knew fully well she wasn't smiling at me but at Zaydin, I mean who wouldn't smile at a man with such futures, I knew I would without thinking twice.
"We can go get it if you want us to," Zaydin spoke, dragging me out of my daydream.
"Mhmmm." I nodded.
"Okay let's go." He ushered me out of the hospital.
"He doesn't look so old, maybe a few years older than us, he is tall and very quiet, he seems to be observant and maybe perfect for us."
The voice said.
"Shut up!!." I screamed, placing my hand on my ears.
