"I am scared." She chants as I slowly place my hands around hers. I felt her warmth as she keeps crying and somewhere, deep down my heart I felt like killing whoever was behind her fear.

"It's okay, it's alright, you will be fine." I muttered reassuringly.

"But really... I want to go home." She said a while after she had calmed down.

"Why?" I asked, softly.

"Well... Why not, I'm tired of this hospital and besides, I have money. I can afford being home hospitalized and your work will be more easier there, I'll be safer at home." She started sarcastically but then ended quietly.

"Alright then, I can't promise anything but I'll make sure to try to see if that can be arranged." I said to her, giving her a small smile.

"Alright, thank you." She said, lying down fully on the bed.

I woke up to someone's pat the next morning, I muttered incoherent words as I tried to fall back into sleep.

"Sleepy head, wake up." I heard Lewa's beautiful voice that sounded extra right then.

"What is it?" I groan, still turning around on the bed.

"Can't a girl get some sleep?" I ask in a whiny voice as she threw the hospital light blanket off me.

"Ooh!" I shout in annoyance, sitting up.

"Rise and shine baby." She said, a big smile on her face. Yawning, I reply.

"You seem extra cheerful this morning, Is there something happening?" I asked her

"You are getting discharged." She said in a sing song manner.

"Really!" I exclaimed in surprise, sitting straighter.

"Yes. I met the doctor this morning and he told Ire came to see him about you being home hospitalized." She said.

"Ooh, true." I replied in a small voice.

"Anyways, the good news is that you don't even have to be home hospitalized. You are all good according to the doctor, he said all you need is just to use your drugs regularly for a speedy recovery and a nurse that will come twice a week to change the dressings of your wound." She said, turning away from me to bring out some things from her big bag.

"I said it!" I said excitedly.

"I'm so happy, finally!" I added.

"Yea, I know what you mean. Anyways, I brought you some outfit. Which do you like?" She asked me, bringing out two pair of outfits; a jogger with a big tee and a bralette with a bum short.

"Why are you even asking? Of course, I'm going with the bum short." We both laughed at myself as I start to stand up and she rushed to my side to help me.

"Let me help you then I'd get you something to eat." She said as she walked me to the bathroom.

I was long done eating my very nourishing Fried rice with salad when Ire arrived. I was scrolling through my Instagram page.

"Hey." He said on entering the room.

"Hey what's up?" I replied him.

"I'm good." He said, plopping down on the couch at the far end of the room.

"So, today you will be meeting the third piece of the triangle. Chike is in charge of security and he's a professional hacker. He and Richard will meet us at your house." He said after a few minutes of silence.

"Why would he meet us, how would he be help me?" I asked.

"First, I want him to check the security of your house and if it isn't secure enough, he'd install new ones and also, I want him to install undectable CCTV camera's all around your compounds." He replied me, standing up to pace between the window and the couch.

"I don't want CCTV all around my home, I won't feel safe." I protested.

"We need to get a CCTV, it will be helpful if the intruder tries anything stupid and besides, I'll be the one to monitor it and it's only till this is over. Once it is, you can uninstall it.

"Alright, if you say so." I said.

"And... A little bird told me I'm getting discharged today." I said.

"I assume the little bird is Lewa, right?" He said, chuckling.

"Yup!" I said, smacking my lips as someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." I said as a man in white medical coat came in, he was handsome but short which ruined what could have aroused any interest in him.

"Miss Adetutu, good noon. How are you doing?" He asked, coming closer to me.

"I'm good, doctor. You look outrageously handsome this morning." I said to him as he look away shyly.

"Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." He replied, blushing as I decide right then and there, to play with him a little.

I could tell he was affected by my presence and it annoyed me. I was tired of guys being affected by only my outward beauty, I wanted something different, I wanted someone that will see and recognize my inner beauty, my bubbly personality.

I swallow the sigh that was about to come out of my mouth and start to play the role that most people know- the seductress Tutu, I was an actress anyways.

"So... Do you think it would be proper for us to meet when we are no longer in this institution. I heard doctor's dating patient's isn't allowed but I guess once I leave, I wouldn't be a patient anymore or don't you think?" I said flirtatiously as he examines me.

"Hmmmm... Huh..?" He stuttered.

"Come on, don't be shy. You know you want to." I said, trailing a finger down his chest.

"Sure." He said, a shy smile still on his face as he fumbled with something. I move closer to him then I already was, entering his personal space as I whispered in his ear.

"I personally think we would make a great couple. What do you think? Should we try it out?" I said as he dropped something.

"Ooh, I'm sorry. Did I distract you?" I said in a fake sorry voice.

"It's... al...right..." He stammers, clears his throat and started again.

"You are good to go, a nurse will come by soon to discharge you." He said, his voice was clear and still a bit shaky but I had to give him accolade for managing a clear voice without a clear head.

I almost chuckle at that but simply decide on a small smile as he turned to leave.

"Doctor?" I called when he got to the door.

"Yes, miss." He said, turning around slowly.

"What do you say to that date. Yes or no?" A light smirk on my face as I asked him.

"Ye...sssss." He said shyly as he rushed out of the room. I let out the laugh I've been holding in all along immediately he closed the door.

"Are you happy?" Someone asked me as I turn around to see Ire glaring at me from the window, his arms were crossed around his chest, making his bicep obvious.

I gulped down the rest of my laughter as I thought of what to say to him. I had forgotten he was there and I knew if looks could kill at that moment, I would already be six feet under.
