Falsely Accused 

Chapter Thirteen.

"Listen here baby, I know I left you so lonely and with no one to take care of you , I know you have really gone through so much without me by your side to protect you and I also know things have not been really easy on your end but trust me I am now here. Back to be with you."

"Who are you and where are you coming back from?"

"Don't you know me anymore baby?"

"Just introduce yourself to me. I would have known you before you left but not anymore.’’ He looks at me with a frown but am happy for my straight face.

"I’m hurt baby." He says holding the position of his heart and we burst out laughing heartily.

Neal is back to me and for the moment, I want to forget everything and just concentrate on him. He is the only one who can help me solve the mystery.

I jump onto him and hug him tightly. We begin kissing ferociously, hungrily, and intensely. He is as hot as always.

I can never imagine being mad at him. He is my cure, when I am down it is only Neal who can help me cheer up.

He breaks the kiss and I frown at him.

The kiss was warm and welcome and I don’t want to loose or break it at any moment.

‘’What are you thinking about?’’ he asks with his eyes directly holding mine.

‘’That your being here is the biggest joke in life and within a few minutes you will not be here anymore and that sucks.’’

‘’Who’s said that baby?’’

‘’I am, you are always coming and leaving at your own pleasure.’’

‘’Not anymore my love.’’ He says in an assuring and I smile slightly rolling my eyes.

"Please promise me that you will never leave again Neal."

"I am not going to leave you Nada." He says sternly. "You are my life and leaving you isn't part of my plan."

"Thank you."

He moves closer and the hug is warm, secure and tight. It is also very protective and I want to stay in the position for life. I want to sleep in his arms, wake up there, have my dreams there and in the end, I want to live there.

He has a beautiful smile and a sweet look on his face.

"Look at me baby. No blushing chances okay?" he says and I am sure my face just turned pink if not red. I have never gotten used to looking at him directly.

"Okay baby," I say shyly and trust me if my eyes are not making fun of me then he seems to be fading away.

There is a face appearing from afar, I can't really tell who this is. It looks like Naomi in the process of trying to find out whose face that is Neal disappears and torrents of tears fall from my eyes.

"He just left me again! Who does that?"

"Don't worry because I am here." Naomi says with an evil grin on her face.

"What do you want Naomi?"

She smiles again. "You don't know what I want?"

"Stop being an ass! I would not be asking you if I had an idea of what you wanted this time round. It is not like am scared of you any more nor don’t know that all your interests bother madness and evil." She smiles and cheekily clap for me as if I have won a coveted prize. She is tormenting me and I will not allow her.

"You baby girl. If you don't stay as far as you can I will send your way some heart attack."

"Really?"

"Yeah really."

‘’You don't scare me ‘’

She laughs humourlessly, ‘’finally, someone is not scared. Let’s see if this will not scare you then I will just walk away and leave you in a f*****g peace.’’

There are about ten or so men, their faces are masked and they are all carrying guns. They are all walking towards me and their guns, are pointing toward me.

It is all very scary and I try to call for help but I have no idea where my voice has disappeared to. I keep calling for help and when I finally find my voice, I collapse and my eyes fly open. And I close it almost immediately when I cannot stand the bright light.

I am panting and sweating profusely.

I was about to loose my heart to the devil and I hold my head between my hands.

Naomi is a devil and if I am not careful, I will be her prey soon. She is also very wicked and evil minded.

Rue is on my case when I move to her room for waking up at nine. I face palm myself, who the hell does that? Waking up at nine am when you are living in someone’s house? Do I want to blow my chances?

I don’t have anywhere to go.

I have integrity issues since I was arrested and thus cannot have my work back until cleared out of all offenses.

I lost my house too and all the property so I have no nowhere to be at the moment. I really need to behave well or I will loose the only place and people I have.

Rue for whatever reason is all dressed up and ready to leave to God knows where. I know she is mad at me for turning her movie offer down but I will bring her back to understand me in a bit.

‘’I am so sorry Rue.’’

‘’About what?’’

‘’Oversleeping. You know I had a very rough night of nightmares all over and….’’’

‘’Just stop it baby girl, you do not have to apologize. You literally slept at seven in the morning. I was in your bedroom the whole night.’’ I lift my brows.

‘’What were you doing in there?’’

‘’Taking care of my only sister.’’ I feel tears welling. She is always supporting me even though the only thing that we have in common is the fact that we were in prison together.

‘’Thanks Rue.’’

‘’Don’t mention it. Sisters are and should always be there for each other.’’

She stands up from her bed then gives me I slight hug when she notices the sad look on my face, she plops back on the edge of the bed and pats a space besides her motioning me to sit. I rest my head on her shoulder and her hand supports me securely.

‘’You will be fine.’’ She says softly and I nod. I don’t know what to say to that.

I am dressed in a body hugging dress, it is sleeveless and purple in colour. Trust my friend to have bought me the very classic dresses and I feel very sweet in it.

My shoes are high heeled and I love it that way.

I look too official for an appointment with my handsome doctor or therapist but Rue doesn’t want to listen to any of my protestations. She says we are going on a special date after the therapy and I have to look all beautiful.

No wonder she was all dressed

Her dress is slightly loose, royal blue in colour and her high heeled shoes are red with nice Turkish earrings.

She looks really beautiful. Very gorgeous.

She is not in a hurry when she drives me to the doctor’s appointment. She is singing along to a Lingala song and I smile when I look at how passionate she is with the song.

My doctor isn’t in the office when I get there and I take a moment to smell around, his office smells nice. Very nice.

A photo that is of a very beautiful lady catches my eye. If this is his girlfriend then he must be a very lucky human being.

‘’Miss Nada you are here?’’ the doctor asks startling me.

‘’Sorry doctor. And yes I am here.’’ He moves a bit closer for a handshake.

‘’How have you been?’’

‘’Not well, I had nightmares all night long.’’

‘’Ooh sorry, what were they all about?’’

‘’Neal.’’ I say focusing my gaze on him to try and understand his reaction. ‘’Doctor,” I call out and he responds. “Can I ask you a question?’’ I say softly in a very low tone.

‘’Yes, please feel free to do so.’’

‘’Why do I have a feeling that Neal is alive?’’

His eyes go wide open. He looks at me almost unsure of his response. He shakes his head slightly. He must be thinking that I am insane.

‘’Why would you want to think that way?’’ he asks politely.

Because every time he appears in my dream, he is happy, loving and caring. He is also telling me that he is never living me again.

‘’Can I ask you for a favour?’’

‘’You can but trust me I am not very good with favours.’’

‘’Can you please let go of Neal.’’ I check my hands then I go back to looking at him.

‘’where is he?’’

‘’In your mind. Stop thinking about him even just for a bit.’’

‘’I can’t do that doctor. His thoughts keep me going. Besides, if I had my Neal junior with me, it would have been easier but now they are both missing. How sad can one’s life be?’’

He moves from his seat, stands behind me and holds my shoulders. ‘’Relax, you will be fine.’’ He says softly rubbing my shoulders gently.

Isn’t he being too close to his patient? I know I feel better by his closeness but then again he is my doctor.

I turn to look at him and I meet his gaze straight into my face.

After the therapy, the doctor asks if we can meet again in two days and I wonder why in two days.

‘’I thought my therapy can now take a few days before I visit?’’ I ask him politely.

‘’Yes but I wanted us to have coffee. Away from the cliché hospital thing. Let’s try it out of this office.’’ My heart skips with some unforetold excitement.

Is he serious? Anyway, I feel like he is right. I need more distraction. Every time I am all alone, I think too much but when I am with Rue I tend to feel happy and secure.

‘’Okay doctor. Let me know when and where.’’ I say as a finality. Besides, I feel like I can trust the doctor.

He has been the one listening to me all the time apart from Rue and he doesn’t seem to get tired of my ranting.

Rue has become my chauffer and she is driving me around town.

I don’t know the special date we were going to but she stops over at a mall and we get to do some shopping.

I miss the days my parents were alive and could make sure that I shopped every day. My closet was filled with new clothes and I could have a lot to donate to charity houses annually.

My mum always said. What you can’t use, they can make good use of. That’s why we did an annual donation every year.

I am trying to locate Naomi and if I do, I will make her tell me where my son is. She will know what I am made of and that day, the respect I have always offered her will disappear. No I think I don’t have it anymore.

‘’What is my sweet sister thinking about?’’

‘’You.’’ She smiles sweetly.

‘’Are you serious?’’ she asks excitedly.

‘’You wish!’’ I respond jokingly with a slight smile.

She rolls her eyes and we laugh headed to a table for coffee. Her doctor friend is seated at the table already and he smiles when he sees us.

‘’I want to find Naomi guys.’’ I say once we are in the middle of the coffee.

‘’We will help you Nada. I delivered that boy, you were in a critical condition but I still managed to save the both of you. I will help you find the baby.’’

‘’Thanks doctor. I am in too. We will find Neilan soon.’’

"Thanks guys I appreciate your support so much."

I hear claps from behind me and I shake my head to confirm that what I am seeing is real.
