Chapter 73 My heart

Chapter seventy-three
Dave
I'm leaving the hospital today. The doctor said I've made a great recovery.
I'm so happy and I've been the happiest man on Earth. Jones has been with me all these while and she made sure she didn't get discharged while I'm still in the hospital.
She's so caring and I'm convinced she really loves me and would never leave me.
I haven't stepped a foot out of the hospital, so I don't know how things are with Cynthia. I don't want to know either. I don't care what happens to her.
I will never forgive her for messing with my girlfriend.
Aside from that, posts and news are circulating between me and Jones. A lot of people are suspecting we are in a romantic relationship. Aside from that, people are surprised I carried her to the hospital in my arms.
How can enemies be lovers?
This question has sparked lots of reactions among people.
It kept me thinking as well. How can I love someone I had desperately wanted to punish?
I think it found me, love eventually found me.
And I've decided to let the world know. Yes, I'm going to tell the world who Jones really is to me. I will clear their doubts and set boundaries.
Jones walks in. I look up at her and smile. She smiles too, "How are you feeling now?"
I feign pain, " I don't really feel good," I tell her.
She walks nearer, " Where? Should I call the doctor," she asks with concern.
I pull her closer to me and kiss her. She's still shy around me. But I'm patiently waiting for the moment when she would eventually let go of that. I'm waiting for the day she would kiss me first.
"You need to get dressed so you can go home," she says and pulls away slowly.
I raise a brow at her, confused, " Me? We are going home together," I correct her.
She laughs now and proceeds to arrange my clothes.
Yes, I will be going home today with Jones but I planned to go see and see Beatrice. Beatrice is a reporter and she's in the best position to do what I want.
I am going to make an announcement today about my relationship status.
"Alright. I will go and sort things out with the doctor while you go home. I need to get somewhere, I will meet you at home."
She raises her brows innocently, " My house or your house?"
I laugh at her question, "My house of course. There will be no work today, "I know she loves working so much. But she needs to enjoy the rights of dating a CEO. And she needs to get used to it.
I stand and move closer to the bathroom door and check myself in the mirror to fasten to the bathroom door. I look at myself for a while, "Do you think I've gotten more ugly?'
Jones laughs, " To me, you've gotten more handsome."
Actually, I'm sure Jones is the happiest today.
She has always been moody. There were times when I would wake up at night and catch her crying.
I guess she was just worried about my health. She's the only one that takes my matter as if it was hers.
I move closer to her and hug her from behind. I kiss her head, "I've called Steven and he will drive you home."
She nods slowly and turns to look at me, " You look so good, I must say," she says and smile.
"Do you mind us going out after I get back home?" My arms are still wrapped around her.
She went still for a while, and I noticed that her expression changed. But just as it has come, it disappears only for her to smile widely at me, "Let's do that," I kiss her again and pull away.
I walk straight to the doctor's office. He's in and waiting for me already.
I enter and sit on the chair, "Doctor Samson," I greet with a smile.
Doctor Samson smiles, "You are all better. It seems like you got special medication asides from the one we are giving you."
I laugh briefly, " Common on, I know where you are arriving."
He laughs again. Doctor Samson is like a relative to me. He has been the only one I have left after my mom died. And he has been so supportive since then. He has been the only one I've been so close with. In fact, he's closer to me than my father.
And he knows everything that goes on in my life.
"How much is my bill?"
He laughs and pushes forward a piece of paper. I take it and look at it.
I bring out my phone and make a transfer. I look up at him again, "I've sent it."
He nods briefly, "Take care of Jones."
I smile at him, "I will."
Going to Beatrice is my next course of action right now. I've called Steven earlier to bring in two of my cars. He has taken Jones with one, so the other one should be in the compound.
I walk out and enter my car. I take my phone and dial Beatrice's number.
She picks up immediately, " Hey handsome!"
"Hi, are you in your studio?"
"Yes. Is something wrong?"
"I have an announcement to make. I will be there soon," I informed her and hung up.
I drove right to her studio.
Beatrice is already prepared for me. She sat awaiting me. I move closer and sit before her, "What announcement do you want to make?"
I cross my leg and look at her, " About my relationship. I want to let everyone know who my girlfriend is."
Beatrice smiles wildly and picks her recorder, " Gimme some minutes," she seems excited as she clicks some buttons.
Well, everyone is curious as to who my girlfriend is. I'm quite popular so that's normal. And for the past five years, I've been single.
She looks up at me now, "So, Mr. Dave Margray? Do you have a girlfriend?"
I relax back, "Yes, I do."
She looks at me much longer, " And who is the lucky girl?"
I close my eyes dreamily. This is what I have been waiting for. The right moment to let everyone know how special Jones is to me.
"Well, my girlfriend is someone that's not so strange to the world. Our meeting was a coincidence and I wouldn't have imagined we would end up this way. I think fate is something that we can't handle," I open my eyes now and look at Beatrice. She's smiling and egging me on, " She was someone I didn't want to have, someone that was so determined as a lady. But eventually, she became someone I don't want to lose again."
" Just as you've expected and noticed, Jones Macbeth is the name of my girlfriend."
" I've seen the pictures circulating that's was when I carried her to the hospital. Well, she got kidnapped days back. And with my help, Michael and some others, including the police, I was able to rescue her."
" In one word, Jones is that one person that comes to your life, fills it with sunshine. Her presence in my life is something worthwhile. She is the love of my life and I love her so very much."
I smile again and I can even help to blush.
The ringing of my phone made Beatrice pause the recorder.
I pick my phone and it's Steven calling.
I press the receiver and ease the phone close to my ear, "Hello."
"Boss!" His voice worries me.
"Did something happen?"
"Miss Jones is gone!"
I didn't understand what he meant at first. I couldn't even think about it. But when it eventually settled in me, my heartbeat accelerated. Sweats broke out from my forehead.
My heart seemed to stop for a moment.
What! Did Jones leave me?
