I smile at Sam as she whimpers and frowns all because of hunger and maybe a bit more hangover.
" Calm down, they will be here soon I've already informed them."" if you have informed them, then why are they patiently waiting for the worms in my stomach to eat their way out before they can attend to us?"" Now you are overreacting Sam!" " Am I Amanda, Am I?" She acts weird and a little pissed." Hey! You are scaring the little girl, will you take it down a notch...hmmm?" Whispering closely to her." Urgh! I'm slowly withering here." She grumbles none stop.The waitress appears, eventually, she then placed on the table a plate of pizza and a cup of soda, I help her put it in front of my little guest as I notice the tinge on her face as soon as the plate of pizza is seating in front her, she turns and gazes at me as though to get an approval from me to pounce on her meal." Go ahead, eat up!" I say to her with a smile of approval.Without any more hesitation, she begins wearing down the pizza, however, someone on the table isn't finding it sweet to watch a cute little girl munch on a pizza slice rather I catch her giving a stabbing stare at the pizza. " Are you kidding me right now?" I snap my two fingers against one another and the sound it made brings her back to reality." what would you like to order ma'am?" The waitress asks gazing at both of us for a reply." Finally, please get me a double cheeseburger and a cup of iced soda!" Sam requests." Wait, I thought we were going to have something from the brunch menu?" I ask." you don't expect me to answer that do you?" She talks at me." My bad! Please get a club sandwich and a glass of orange juice?" She notes our order down and continues out to get them.Sam's patient is beginning to run out as I observe how she extends her neck every few seconds in search of her order, luckily, the waitress didn't take much time to bridge our meals and carefully puts them down on the table." Thank you so much! She takes hold of the burger and bites into it at once. Mmm, This is so good!" She mumbles with her mouth full, while I take mine from the waitress and join the table as we enjoyed our " Not so brunch".After an hour, perhaps, it took us from enjoying our meals it was time we pay for our meals and head back home, however, the notion of what to do with the little girl that I had rescued from the sidewalks leaves us hanging in the air of nip and tuck, about how to find her parents or guardian or maybe where she lives." Sweetie, can you tell us where you stay so we can take you home?" I ask sweetly but she just stares at me without saying a word." Amanda, I don't think she can speak." Sam cuts in." What do you mean? She can hear me. I turn my gaze to her, you can understand me right?" She nodded her head slowly." If she can hear you then, why isn't she saying anything?" Amanda inquires.At this moment, I feel something is wrong, however, the question of what could be the reason why this cute little girl can't speak keeps lingering on my mind. " was she born mute?" I ask myself." I don't think we will be able to find out anything about her in the state she is in, Amanda!" Sam's voice snaps me back to reality." But we can just leave her here and go," I respond to her." Then what do we do?" " I-don't-know. " " Amanda, I think we should hand the little girl over to the cops and go home? At least that way we will know that she is in safe hands and out of danger." Sam infers.I look at her while wondering the idea she just dropped in front of me and as much it hurts me for not be able to find this little girl's family, I think she is right. The best thing to do for her is to hand her over to the authorities and she can be under their custody until they can find her parents. After a moment of introspection, I decided to approve of Sam's idea." Maybe you are right, let's take her there perhaps her parents would come in search of her over there," I say to Sam and thickly she called the waitress and pay off our bills before we headed out." Hey! Hold on, I need to get a cup of coffee to go. You can go ahead I will catch up with you guys in a split second!" Sam says while going back into the diner.While on our way to the police station with the little girl walking next to me as I held her hand, the cops comes running from behind me and pointing their guns at me. " Don't move! One of them says out loud while he approaches me. Let go of the little girl and put your hands up!" The police officer yells as hurriedly walks up to me still pointing his gun at me and then cuffs my hands.I am clueless about what is going on, I am in shock as to why I am being treated like some kidnapper or criminal, I couldn't say a single word as I just watched." Excuse me officer, what is going and why do you my friend cuffed?" I hear Sam's voice echo from behind me." Ma'am, whatever you have to say to us you can do that at the Station. Your friend here. Has been allegedly accused of child kidnapping and we found her we the mission girl." The officer states while he drags me into the back of the police car.
" Amanda! Amanda! I'm right behind you okay?" Sam screams as the officer drags me into the back of the police automobile and locks the door, I couldn't let out a word, all I did was observe through the car window. Sam appears tensed up with the whole thing happening, as the car slowly drives away, the little girl tries pulling away from the lady holding her hand but she seems to be holding her firmly while speaking with a Cop, she reaches out her left arm to me with tears in her eyes as the vehicle zooms out.I can not tell what has come over me, however, it turned me into a sudden tongueless person that I didn't utter a word or try to defend myself by any chance. We arrives at the station and with no time frittered, they had thrown me behind bars right before removing the handcuffs on my wrist.Barely a week in New York City and my life is slowly revamping to the nastiest and becoming more and more unbearable by the day. Sitting there quietly by the corner,
The next few hours were in utter cessation as we both avoided each other's eye contact, however, I could swear that I notice her stealing glances at me and when I turn to look in her direction she looks away immediately.She grunts as she tries to sit appropriately, I could sense that she must be in a lot of pain since she is badly injured and her injury isn't properly treated and neither is she on any anesthetic medication." You are in pain aren't you?" I turn to her." Why are you asking? you don't have to keep on with the acting, I'm fine!" She smirks." Maybe you think that everyone around you is an actor because you are too but I'm not."She chuckles, " Now you are trying to tell me that you are a Saint huh?"" I'm not a saint either. I stand up and moves to the iron banister, Excuse me, excuse me, officer! " I call out to the cop standing at the corner and fortunately, he turns and walks towards my direction." what is it?" He ga
Listening to her narrate her story got me thinking about how different we appear to be however, in one way or another we always get to face the difficult aspect of being a woman. Some of us are pressured by society and are reminded each day of where we stand even in the Era we are living today, and some are under family pressure, being looked down upon because they had a female child instead of a male child. Letting their mediocre mindsets cloud their sense of judgment about their daughters and make them feel as Though they can't do better with the person they are, and someone in my case had been accused of hand out and easy offers all because I am a woman. I wonder when the world will get to understand that women are the most fundamental inception of the growth of the world, While some believe that women are meant for the kitchen and running the household responsibilities, others insist that we don't deserve the right of choosing who we want to be.For ages, we have been
" Ooh! So you are a newbie to the City huh?" She jests." Well, not anymore because I have learned the downside of this city in barely a week, so find another name that suites me better," I reply with a frown." Ow! Don't feel bad, you are merely getting to know the city and I bet you will fall in love with it, it's just a matter of time." She attempts to amuse me." Well, I hope so because I'm growing tired of its taunts and drama each day!" I lament." Calm your nerves, it will get better from here onwards, you'll see!"" Whatever!" I murmur as I tilt my neck backward and lay my head on the wall.It's getting pretty late and still no sign of Sam, where could she be, I wondered. My paunch begin groaning and yawning for some sustenance, however, none of them cared to look at us as they walk by each second. Gradually, their numbers decrease, and the ones on night duty resume their shift, one of them takes a glance at me and Kelly, then smirks and w
Everything appears blurry and turns albescent while slowly fading away as my lids come together.A while after I passed out, I am beginning to regain my consciousness as I tardily open my eyes following the direction of the light-emitting in the room.Feeling a bit drowsy I managed to open my eyes broad and then everything becomes solid clear to me that I am in the hospital as I noticed the cannula on my right metacarpal." Hey! Feeling better now?" I hear an echo from across the hall as I turn to find Kelly Standing by the door, wearing a smile on her face just then she makes her way towards me but was stopped by some strange young man, He is tall and broad, wearing an all-black suit that flawlessly complements the slender lines of him, his pelt is short and the hue like that of the sunset, combed back for him to showcase his big gray eyes, he appears stunning in my eyes, however, the expression on his face is like that of a beast about to pounce on its prey as
" Why are you gawking at me like that?" I turn and implores Sam." Well, I am gawking at you because you tend to forget that the little girl you are asking a question to is mute." She shrugged." Gosh! I forgot." I glance at her with a smile while she holds my hand tightly.It feels as Though my pain and troubles slowly fade away while gazing at her cute, innocent happy face.Just then, a knock on the is heard as it slowly opens leaving me in a state of trinket, as both Sam and I glue our focus on the door to find out who it must be, however, A Tall and broad young man makes his way into the room, wearing the same suit I had seen in my dreams and the replica of the man from my fantasy." No. This is not probable!" I mutter faintly as he makes looms to my bed.Instantly, I squint my eyelids tightly anticipating that I am still dreaming and hoping that once I open my eyes it will all go away. "Yeah! This is all a dream, if not why would the little g
" Yes perhaps you are right but I don't f**king give a damn who he is, being a billionaire doesn't give him the right to treat everyone he meets like trash!" I counters." Hmmm, you should be happy that he came himself, leaving his business meetings and vibrant clients to come set you free, at least you should speculate on that," Sam replies" We all know he didn't come here on his alliance, His daughter must have told him the truth and make him come here and perpetrate whatever facade he had going on."" Hey! Don't be so obdurate, can't you see the poor cute, hot guy left his important work just to come here and meet with you. Didn't you discern how sweet and hot he is?" Sam stargazes while staring into space." Hey, Sam! I snap my two fingers against each other across her face, Stop daydreaming and help me get to the doctor so I can go home." I announced." Oh! Now you are anxious to go home, all thanks to our hottie boss." She gags
A moment later, the doctor arrives as he makes his way into the room, I notice how Sam's eyes lit up in admiration. " Wow, is it just me or are all the men coming inside this room today hunks?" She whispers to me while the doctor reviews the charts in my folder." Ssshh! I place my index finger on my lips gesture to keep Sam silent." Are you queer, Why can't you see why I'm seeing?" She replies in hum.I shake my head in disgust while gaping at her, " you have a big problem." " Umm, Miss Amanda! I have reviewed your charts and it seems that you've recovered quite well, however, I must advise you on the matter of what you ingest into your precious body. He flips the papers in the folder before placing that back on the slab. You need to watch what you eat and make sure to hydrate as you are still recovering from severe diarrhea, And... That's it, I will write a dome prescription for you to fetch at the pharmacy before you leave, so have a nice day
