Chapter 25

"All you need to do is make sure she takes her meds so that the place operated on can heal fast and stop the pain. She also needs to eat a lot of food and fruits for strength, lots of sleep is advised and try to reduce her locomotive movements" I explain to Miss Tracy whose daughter just had a major surgery. She nods and stands to leave.
"Thank you very much Miss Martina" she says with a small smile.
"you're welcome, you may go see her now, she's to be discharged in three days but if we see fast improvements, she can leave in two days" i inform her closing my notebook.
"okay, I'll go see her now" I stare at her retreating form and sigh. I love being a surgeon but my job makes me see a lot of heartbroken parents. A sixteen year old girl just had a major surgery and her single mum, Miss Tracy has to bear seeing her only daughter go through pain.
Shaking my head and flexing my hands I move over to the mirror and stare outside at the busy environments of the hospital. I'm exhausted, I've done two major surgeries in six hours and they were greatfully successful. I turn my gaze to my office and smile.
My office is a spacious, professional but cozy place, I chose this theme to make my patients and their guardians feel safe and comfortable. I've completed all required surgeries for the day so I'm free to go home but I decide against it.
I don't really have much doing at home, my stomach grumbles and I sigh. I'll have to order pizza or something.
"Can I come in" Tina's shy voice says after she knocks.
"Come in" Tina shyly enters my office and smiles. She's a twenty one year old intern nurse who was transferred here two months ago. She is always shy and and calculated. Though she looks cute and innocent, I can't seem to understand why I don't find something right about her. She has short black hair and small pink lips. Her green eyes light up when I smile at her.
"How may I help you?"
"Hmm, your friend Miss Liza is here" I raise my brows in confusion, Liza never sends someone to tell me she's here. She always comes straight to my office.
Tina turns her gaze to the floor when she sees my confused expression. "Did she tell you to tell me this?" I ask confused.
She shifts uncomfortably before answering "no she didn't, I just wanted to let you know" with that she quickly rushes out of my office. What was that about? Why did she come...
"Hey girl!" Liza's excited voice snaps me out of my thoughts, I didn't even realize she opened the door. She quickly rushes over to me and hugs me. She's wearing a denim trouser and peach top paired with a black bag.
"You know we're in a hospital and you have to knock right?" I give her a slight hug before glaring at her.
"you're my Besty, your office is my office. Now get up so we can go shopping"
"Shopping? For what?" I ask incredulously.
"for the dinner this evening" Liza states with a pout.
"but it's just dinner"
"no, it's not. You better follow me, Sam told me Tara is coming. Talking of Sam what of Sam Smith. I didn't see him here today" Liza says.
I grab my bag and keys, "I don't know, he didn't come to work today" I lead her outside before locking my office.
Liza nods in understanding before grabbing my hand and leading me out of the hospital.
After grabbing lunch we went dress shopping...We spent four hours dress shopping and one hour shoe shopping. By the time we arrive at the house, it was already 6pm.
We spent four hours dress shopping and one hour shoe shopping. By the time we arrive at the house, it was already 6pm.
"I can't believe we spent up to five hours shopping, I should have been at work"
Liza glares at me before saying "I know you already finished your shift for the day plus this isn't just any dinner, it's like the gathering of elites"
We're currently in my room unpacking the things we bought. Liza goes to shower first while I arrange our outfits in order. Liza comes out few minutes later wrapped in a towel and I gasp when I remember something.
"who's cooking and preparing for the dinner?"
Liza raises her brows "oh, Sam said he brought some chefs for that. Go get a shower, I'm doing your make up by the way"
I roll my eyes before rushing to the bathroom and having a quick shower. I then brush my teeth and head to the room. Liza is already dressed by the time I'm done. She bought a royal blue long knee-length slit gown with crystal embroideries  accompanied by black six inch heels. Her gold jewelry complements her chocolate brown eyes and blonde hair which she has styled in wavy curls.
"You look gorgeous girl" I say smiling.
"Thanks babe, now it's your turn to get ready, I have to apply my make-up. We have twenty five minutes to spare"
I quickly dry myself and slip into my dress. It's a long gold off shoulder gown with silver pearl embroidery. It hugs my curves perfectly and literally almost sweeps the floor. I then put on my gold six inch heels accompanied by silver jewelry. Liza turns her gaze from the vanity where she's applying her make-up and gasps.
"Girl you look stunning" she beams. I give her a small grin "thank you"
"Okay come here" i meet her in front of the vanity and she stands for me to sit before she starts applying my make up. Liza does a smoky eye and black lip stick for my lips. She then applies some concealer and foundation. Liza lightly draws my tick eyebrows and adds mascara to my eyelashes.
For my hair, she straightens it to it's normal shape and curls the end living it loosely around my shoulders and back.
I grin at her before standing up. We both take our bags, hers black and mine silver.
"We made it just in time, it's 7pm. Let's get going" Liza says glancing at her phone.
We both make our way down the stairs and Liza whispers in my ear"I'm nervous"
I'm about to reply when the sight that meets me after we take a turn for the dinning room surprises me. The lights are dim but glowing and there sits the four friends. Damien, Sam, Fred and Chris. I mentally thank Liza for making me dress formally because they are all wearing a tux. Damien's tux stands out... Of course. Hold on... He's actually putting on a black tux, but with a gold tie. A gold tie! I know Liza planned this, she specifically said I should pick a gold dress. Sam's also wearing a black tux and blue tie. I roll my eyes, so cliche. Chris and Fred went for black tuxes and white ties.
Damien and Sam are talking about something and I see the way his jaw flexes with each move and his eyes show is focus.
Chris and Fred seem to be engrossed on their phones. Liza tugs at my dress and I realize that I'm not moving. I sigh and start making my way towards them.
Sam notices us first and grins "talk of fashionably late"
All the guys look up including Damien and I divert my eyes when our eyes meets. I didn't sleep in the room last night and we're kinda not in talking terms.
His hazel eyes are brighter today and it makes me uncomfortable.
The dinning room is filled with lots of food covered neatly, wine and fruits. 
"We're not late Sam" Liza says pouting as we take our sits. I sit opposite Damien and it's uncomfortable.
"I know you're not late but fashionably late" Sam whispers with a wink. Liza rolls her eyes and I smirk.
"hey ladies, you guys look so stunning I would marry you both if you weren't taken" Chris says with a grin.
I laugh and Liza blushes, Damien gives him a blank stare and Sam just rolls his eyes.
"No man, leave Francesca for me. Liza seems too into Sam. Francesca, I'm available" Fred says I blush instantly. They're so friendly, his smile seems genuine and I decide to play along.
"No problem Fred, we'll have dinner in Paris" Fred winks at me. "In the city of love, I like that"
"Hope I'm not late"
We all turn to see Tara making her way towards the dinning table. She's putting on a long black gown and white six inch heels. But of course it isn't Tara if there's not a tight high slit on both sides of the dress.
I hear Sam cuss and whisper "sh*t, are we going to a strip club?"
"Well she looks like she is" Francesca mumbles beside me.
Oh wow, another long dinner night...
