Just The Beginning ?
Episode sixty five
” Hey, what happened in there? you look kind of tense,” Alex asks walking towards me. I’ve been standing outside Lisa’s room for about five minutes, waiting for him.
Alicia left the second we arrived. She looked exhausted, and Alex asked her to go home and get some rest. Her husband, had already left the hospital for an important meeting, before we got here.
I don’t really know what made lisa think I would give up Alex so easily, especially now that am pregnant !
When will it ever hit her that Alex doesn’t love her, and love can’t be forced!
That girl has gone completely crazy, and am afraid I might $trangle her if I don’t get out if this place soon.
” Nothing.. Am just exhausted, ” I say.
Am not sure telling him about the crazy prank that Lisa pulled ,will do him any good. I’d rather just keep it to myself.
” So.. When will she be discharged? ” i ask.
” They have already discharged her, we’ll drop her at the house and later on go home.”
” Okay,” I say as I follow him back in the room.
” When am I getting out of here?I really don’t like hospitals,” Lisa asks as soon as we get in the room.
” You’ve been discharged…get yourself ready, and if you don’t want to come back here, you have to take care of yourself. The doctor said that you need complete bed rest ,if you don’t want to loose the baby,and we all know you dont want that, ” Alex says.
” But both of you do. Am sure you’d be beyond happy if that happened. You’d get rid of me once and for all, right?” Lisa asks.
“I won’t deny you been pregnant is the worst thing that ever happened to me, but I’d never be happy over the death of my child! No matter what differences we may have, the child is mine and I care about it.”
” If that’s true, then let me stay with you. You are the only person that can take better care of me and your baby,” Lisa says and I just shake my head.
”
I guess the word defeat is not in her dictionary!
” Not happening!….now get ready, we have to leave,” Alex says taking my hand while Lisa gives me this deadly glare.
The whole drive to Alicia’s place is sient,and am relieved when we finally get there. Alicia asks us to stay over for lunch and even though I don’t want to be anywhere near Lisa, I agree ,mostly because I love robbins cooking. ”
” So.. When is the wedding?” Alicia asks half way into our meal.
“They just got engaged yesterday! I mean. What’s the hurry? ” That’s Lisa.
” We haven’t talked about it yet mum,but if it was up to me.. I’d marry her right now! ” Alex says kssing my hand.
“You guys better fix a date soon. Don’t forget that I don’t have much time, and I want to see vee walk down the isle before I go, ” Alicia says.
” Don’t say that mum.. Am more than sure you’ll be fine. ”
” Yes Alicia…we’ll find a donor for you, but I also think you are right, we should get married soon, ” I say and Alex looks at me with eyes wide open.
” Really?! ”
” Yes really.”
” Well.. How about you get married in three months ,” Alicia says excitedly. ” That would give us enough time to get everything ready . ”
“But that’s too soon! ” That’s Lisa.”
” Lisa honey… ” Alicia calls narrowing her eyebrows at her. ” It would be better if you stayed out of this conversation, okay. ”
” Okay.., ” she replies, concentrating on her food.
” Three months is way to far.. but am good with it, ” Alex says. ” What do you think Vee? ”
“I love it! ”
” Good! I can’t wait! ” Alicia says all smiles.
” Am sorry about everything that’s going on with lisa, ” Alex says apologetically as he drives us home. ” I know this is hard for you, even if you don’t want to admit it. ”
” Don’t worry… I know this Lisa issue is complicated, but am with you till the end, that’s for sure, “I say smiling lightly.
” Thank you, ” Alex says stroking my hand softly.” You are an angel! ”
” Of course i am.. Am your angel, ” I say winking at him and he smirks at me.
” Words can’t express how much I love you Vee,” Alex says.
” Oh good! Words aren’t my thing either, and you know what that means? ”
” Nope… What does it mean? ”
” That our love is so intense, it’s so deep and so huge that.. the word that can describe it hasn’t been invented yet,” I say as he looks at me mesmerized, as if he’s seeing me for the first time.
” Wow!.. I love that.”

Alex
*Two and a half months later*
” Alex..! ” Someone yells and we wake up startled, sitting up.
I look up and see Maya and Ava glaring down at me.
” What’s with all the ruckus ?,” i ask rubbing my eyes.
” What do you mean?” Ava asks looking at me as if I’ve just lost my mind. ” We have so much work to do! Have you forgotten that the wedding is in three days ?! Mum is waiting for us to go check out the wedding venue, and after that we have to go for the fitting of our dresses! ”
The girls and mum have been over the moon ,for the past few months planning the wedding, that one would think they were they were the ones getting married! But am not complaining. They’ve really helped us out a lot.
” We haven’t forgotten .. But why wake us up so early?” Vee asks yawning. ” Am still very sleepy. ”
” Why does it seem that we are more excited for your wedding, than you guys are! ”
” Probably, because you are!…” vee says with a small laugh. ”
” Okay.. That might be true, but its almost nine, and we have to be at Alicia’s house at ten! You know it’s an hour drive, “Maya says.
” You guys can go without us .I mean, I don’t have any dress fitting , and am so exhausted! ” Vee says, stretching out her hands.
” Okay Vee.. We understand. You should go back to sleep and I’ll tell you how everything goes,” Maya says and they both walk out.
” Those two are crazy! ”
” Tell me about it!” Vee says getting comfortable on the bed.
” I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to sleep,” I say kssing her forehead. ” I’ll let you sleep. ”
” Okay… ” she says as i get off the bed and straight to the shower.
This few months with Vee have been the best, and I cant wait to make her my wife! Everything has been going smoothly so far with no problem from George or Lisa. I think they finally understood that Vee and I are meant to be and nothing they ever do will change that.
As soon as am out of the shower, my phone rings and Lisa’s name flashes on the screen.
Speaking of the devil!
” Hi Lisa, is everything okay? ”
” No.. I need your help, right now!” she says ,her voice shaky and desperate.
” Okay.. What’s going on? ”
” Am bleeding Alex! ” She says crying. ” I think am about to loose the baby. ”
” What?! I’ll call mum and ask her to get you to the hospital. I’ll meet you there, ” I say as I quickly reach for my clothes.
” Am not at home.. I came to visit a friend of mine when this happened, and she went out! Am all alone in her apartment Alex, you need to come get me!”
” Okay.. Just send me the address. I’ll be there as quickly as i can.”
” Okay, please hurry! ” she says and I hang up.
Vee is still sound asleep and I decide not to wake her. I’ll call and tell her everything once am at the hospital. I quickly put on my clothes ,grab my car keys and run out of the place.
