Chapter 23

I drove quietly and gently too so as not to attract the attention of the traffic wardens so that they would not add to the problem I already had at hand. The road was still very busy and so many commuters were left stuck on the road.
I continued to drive gently ,the more gently I drove,the more myvsnfer began to calm down and I was not happy that the rage I had earlier on is beginning to cool off. I had wanted to use the same rage and talk to doctor Albert so that he will know that I have not come to play.
Few minutes later I arrived at his hospital. I went straight to his office without wasting time. I got there but the receptionist or whatever she refused to allow me in, asked what I came for, since I do not have any relatives hospitalized in their hospital.
That anger in me began to fuel once More, I was really getting pissed and not ready for any delay. I guess she was employed because when my brother was here I usually come to check up on him, I have not seen here. I waited outside if I would be lucky to find doctor Albert by chance and give home a piece of my mind..
I waited outside for more than an hour but I did not see doctor Albert outside most the staff that passed by me inquired if I needed help in finding something or someone, but I ignored them all and continued to wait. I waited till it was closing time and I saw doctor Albert coming out from the build probably to go home or something, I quickly wore my hat and sun shade on and double crossed.
I guess dict Albert was not expecting that because he stopped with fear.but even he got to know I was the one the fear on his face was replaced with a smile. But I did not come here to smile nor to laugh.
"Good day sir." He greeted me but so totally ignored his greetings.
"Hey you freaking doctor, I want you to stop whatever it is you have with my niece Erica,I do not want to see you come close to him anymore, I would not like to tell you this again, because if so do, you and this your freaking hospital would not be this lucky to escape my rage and anger" I wardens him sternly without missing words.
"Excuse me sir,but,but what I have done wrong" he starmmered.
"I am not here to answer your freaking questions, I have just come to warn you are, stay away from Erica I know what your plans are, just stay away from her" I repeated this time with more serious look on my face.
He was just standing there with a look on see face that clearly showed he was confused and I did not understand why I am being hostile to him. But I caredless as I immediately went back into my car and drive off in speed.
ERICAS POV
I sat down for a while and thought about doctor Alberts proposal and decided it was time for me to give him an answer. I have thought about it severally and concluded it would not be a bad idea to be in a relationship with him, he is a hard working gentle man, respectful and also cute and most especially I love the way he treats me and always ready to do anything that would make me happy, I needed to have the issue of finding a man sorted out and It will be wise of me to accept his proposal since he happens to fall into the category of the kind of men I would love to be in a relationship with.
It was not an easy decision to make but I have thought about it over and over again and I have made up mind that is time to give him an answer.
I know I had to take this chance, if I eventually find a man that will care for me and ready to walk with me through the hardle of life then it is really a dream come through and I will readily present him to my dad. I know my dad will be very glad if I present someone as honourable as the young doctor Albert.
Moreso, I have also fallen in love with him,the mere thought of him makes me happy and I am even ready to be in his arms, I can not fight the felling anymore, because the more I tried to fight it, the more intense it became because one cannot fight what the heart feels. I believed right in my mind and heart that I have found the person that my heart totally accepts.
I took my phone and dialed doctor Alberts number twice but he did not answer his call, I wondered whare he could have been that made not to answer his call, I checked the time and it was already close hours so I was sure he was closed from work except he had emergency to attend to.
I dialed his number again and this time his lovely voice came to call and my heart melted in love .
"Hey beautiful, how are you doing" He greet.
"Hey why did you not answer your call earlier." I asked him.
"I am sorry, I went in to have a shower" He said.
"You should have called me to come bath with you" I joked.
"Oh really now, it is not too late then, you can come let us have another bath" He answered laughing out loud.
I joined him in the laughter as we joked for some more time.
I have something to tell you we both said the same words almost immediately.
"Ok, you go ahead first, what would you like to tell me" I asked him.
"No, you go ahead first,common it is the Ladies first" He insisted.
"Okay then, I just want to tell you that I have accepted your proposal, So I am now ready to be your girlfriend" I told him smiling.
Not so sure if what his reply would be.
"What? Yes!" He exclaimed like someone who had just won a jackpot.
"Thank you so much Erica,I am glad you have accepted my proposal and I promise to treat you right, I promise to always make you very happy, I promise I am going to let you down, I promise to make you the envy of every other girl out there"
He said lots of promises to me, that I was just blushing and grinning with smiles, I was over houred that my relationship is about to off officially, I was glad that I was able to give love a chance.
"It is okay, I love you and I have decided to give love a chance between us, but I just hope you do not make me regret this decision." I told him.
"Erica , it is obvious you do not know how much I love you, I have loved you from the very first day you stepped into my face, and I promise I am not going to hurt you nor treat you bad" He assured me.
I was blushing like one who has found a charming prince, like a tennage high school girl who have just had her first kiss.
Albert was over joyed and I could feel it from the sound of voice. He kept making different promises upon promises to me.
"This calls for celebration," he said .
"Where would you have us go this time, I asked"
"Of course you, you know I know so many beautiful places round the city, I love to visit a new place this time, and I am sure you will really love it." He told me.
He kept thanking me over and over again for accepting his proposal and for giving him a chance to my heart, from the way he spoke one could know this is what he has being waiting for a very long time, he has being expecting me to give him answer, I was glad he did not rush it, I was glad he gave me the enough time to really make up my mind, he had waited patiently for this answer and to him, the answer was worth the wait. Nothing feels good as having to wait for something for a very long time and in the end one gets a positive result for all the wait.
I have made up my mind to make our relationship a big success and if possible, I am readily eager to walk the forever journey with him.
I am glad too,and deep in my heart ,I feel I have made the right decisions.
" So tell me, what was it you wanted to tell?" I asked him.
"It is your uncle Anthonio"
