[Hospital-Allison’s Ward]
Allison is able to sit up again with a pillow behind her back, and she looks tired as she pressed the TV remote repeatedly, searching for the right show to watch on TV.
She has her phone on the other hand, and Seraphina’s line is on screen. She has been trying it for ages now, but Seraphina ain’t picking.
Saint said Yalda came to pick her fron her house, and she’s dying to hear the outcome already.
The door opened softly, and Peach came in carrying a tray of fruits.
“Heyy, you didn’t have to!” Allison dropped her remote and phone.
“But you’re becoming my new mummy soon, I should take care of you.” Peach said as she came in.
“Aw, that was fast…” Allison chuckled, taking the tray from her.
Peach sat beside her in bed.
“But you’ll have to manage a daughter who always comes second place in her class though.”
“Second place is cool, Peach, believe me!” Allison got serious.
Peach blinked.
“You think?”
“I know,” Allison blinked back. “I used to be second and third place in class too, and back then my parents bought me ice cream each time cos they were proud of me. I mean…my competitors were strong, so me getting second or third place was pure gold.” Allison narrated.
“Really? My competitor is strong too,” Peach smiled. “It’s a scholarship girl who’s so brilliant. Pops told me to make friends with her, and I did, and it turned out she’s a cool girl. We’re BFFs now.” She smiled wider.
“See?” Allison stroked her face. “So far you try your best always, just leave the rest, princess.”
“But your parents bought you ice cream each time you excelled in class?” Peach said. “What happened to cars or phones?”
“I grew up in a poor family, Peach. My parents died of ulcer, in fact.” Allison said sadly.
Peach quickly grabbed her hand. “I’m so sorry, Allison… I mean….mummy-to-be.”
Allison chuckled, “you’re so cute…”
“And you’re so beautiful,” Peach smiled. “I wish when you have a baby for my pops later, they’ll be as smart as me and you and dad, so they’ll be absolute genius.”
“Aw,” Allison blushed hard.
“And when you get married to dad, I’ll be your little bridesmaid.” Peach added. “I’ve always wanted to be someone’s little bridesmaid.”
“You’re moving very fast!” Allison laughed. “I and ebonyheart haven’t even started dating yet, but wedding?”
“I’m just impatient, I want to go on mother-daughter shopping spree with you.” Peach confessed.
Allison calmed, kissing her hair.
“Soon, ok?” Very soon.”
“And…. about Aunt Seraphina…” Peach said with a tight mouth.
“Yes?” Allison blinked, picking an apple from the tray.
“You know I lied on her on the podium, and I know she has every right to not want me around…”
“I’ll talk to Phina for you, you can count on me.” Allison promised.
“Seriously?” Peach gushed.
“Promise!” Allison winked, and they stuck palms loudly.
Acosta who has been by the door listening to everything finally came in with a large smile and a large flower bouquet.
“Ebonyheart!” Allison chuckled, but she blinked her eyes when he handed the flower bouquet to her.
“Ok?” She took it, looking up at him.
“You wanna try dating me?” He said in a low voice. “I know I’m not rich enough right now to buy you cars monthly, but I’m rich enough to get you whatever you ask for. I’ll give you my time too, and I’ll be attentive, caring, loving, and of course I’ll fûck you good.” He rushed.
Allison bursted into laughter, and Peach ran out of the ward, covering her ears from her dad’s dirty talk.
Allison had to bite herself on the lip to make her laughter stop, but she began breathing heavily.
“You’re too much, Acosta.”
“Ain’t do it right?” He blinked fast. “You know I love you, Allison, and I take good care of whatever I love. Peach wants you too, and I….want you more. I’ll be both parents for you and support everything you do. I know you’re crazy, but I love crazy, and I’ll… never betray you. Let me take care of you, be your perfect gentleman, your black candy…”
Allison laughed loudly again, the sound reaching the four walls.
“Come here,” she lifted her hand, and he leaned down, allowing her to hook her fingers on his jacket.
He pulled him close with that, and when their lips met with a sickening crash, the flowers fell from her to the bed, and her arms went to his shoulders to wrap up.
He picked her up from the bed, wrapping her legs around his waist as the kiss deepened.
She was playing with his beards as they kissed, and he caressed her scalp with her fingers, sucking her mouth.
The entry of Yalda made the kiss stop, and they lips separated.
“Fûck! Yalda?” Allison breathed high, still not coming down from Acosta.
“Wrath is back,” Yalda announced without waiting.
“Oh my goodness!” Allison shouted. ” Oh my God! He’s really back?”
“You can stop worrying about First Lady and take your healing seriously, though it looks like you’re already healing, considering that I met your lips on his lips.” Yalda scoffed.
“Don’t say it like that, mean bitch.” Acosta said playfully.
“Whatever,” Yalda waved it off. “So, First Man will never say sorry for what he did to you both with the belt. So far, the only person he said that word to is First Lady, and it’s gonna remain that way. But….if there’s anything you want him to do for you both, he’s available for requests.”
“I want soo many things…” Allison came down from Acosta’s arms. “First, i need more dignified event planning deals, and I need him to introduce me to the President.”
“You’re flying, Allison.” Yalda said.
“You never said I couldn’t!” Allison raised her shoulders.
“I only need one legit building contract out of this country, i know he can do it.” Acosta said.
“Fine,” Yalda sighed. “I’ll make sure to relay your messages. You can go back to eating each other.”
She left the ward, and Allison hugged Acosta tight, grinning.
“I’m so happy for Phina!”
“So am I, sugar, so am I.” Acosta chuckled.
“Sugar?” Allison looked up.
“Cos you’re sweet!” He smiled.
She stood on her toes to kiss him again, but that was when Peach came back inside, ruining it.
“Someone’s here.” She said.
Behind her, Bexley came in, and Allison immediately disengaged with Acosta, eyes changing.
“What the fûck are you doing here, Bexley Rebecca Hart!”
Bexley bursted into tears again.
“Please don’t chase me away too! You can’t chase me away too! Everyone have been avoiding me and you can’t do that too! You’re my sister!”
“Oh, now I am?” Allison scoffed. “You didn’t know that when you decided to join the stupid club as a Delilah to dance naked for dollars?”
“I’m sorryyy….” Bexley cried loudly. “I know you’ve been trying your ultimate best for me…”
“I tried more than my best, Rebecca! Not only the tuition or allowance or wardrobe changing part! I bought you cars too, Bexley! I haven’t changed my car in two years now, but I’ve changed yours twice! The Cadillac and sports car! I spoil you with money, literally! I water you like my delicate little flower, but what did you do? Disgraced me! Your pictures are everywhere, naked!”
“It’s Bexley, not Rebecca…” Bexley cried. “Anytime you call me by second name, I get scared. Please don’t push me away too…. I’ve learned my lesson, and I’ll….”
“Go away, Rebecca.” Allison cut in.
“Allison…”
“Go away!” Allison shouted crankily.
Bexley rushed out of the ward, and Allison let out her tears.
“You can’t cry, Allison…” Acosta held her tightly.
“You won’t understand, Acosta…” She turned her face away. “Our parents died of hunger, and since then, I promised to never let that befall us the kids too. I did my best for Bexley. From highschool to the Minds University that she’s currently in, I sponsored her and never for once ignored her demands,
“I told her to fell me if she needed anything. I once borrowed bank loan to buy her first car, Acosta, how could she repay me with this shame, Acosta, how? I was already looking forward to her graduation with first class so I can get her a good job with the little connection I have. She’s a fuckin’ brilliant girl, Acosta, how could she do this to me? Why?”
“Calm down…” Acosta wiped her tears. “Yeah, she did bad, but at the end of the day, she’s still your sister….ok? She’s your…”
Allison hugged him before he could finish, and he just hugged her backs deciding to pet her for now.
