I entered the familiar and not familiar building with a heavy heart,
Hi, how is he? I asked her.
She looked up at me and smiled “hi! He just finished eating so he's resting before I bring him his medicine” she replied with a soft smile, which I tried to return.
“ Don't worry, he will be fine”
Thanks, nurse Jessy.
I walked to the room my dad is staying, it's been two years, but my heart is always heavy anytime I come here.
My dad was a strong man, seeing him hooked with all this wire do break me.
Hi dad, I said with a soft smile
Bee! His smile disappeared, I sighed knowing what's happening.
“ Baby, you have lost weight since seeing you, what happened? I ha—
Dad! Breath please, I signed rubbing my head I could feel a headache coming.
I saw you yesterday before my new job, which is today, so how in God's sweet name am I supposed to have lost weight? I exclaimed.
He stared at me with a bored expression, “you are my daughter, I know when you lose an ounce of fat”
I rolled my eyes and he grinned in return.
He is such a child.
“ So tell me, how was your first day at work?
I shrugged, it was fine.
“ Fine?
I sighed, the kids are great, kind and respectful. so far so good, I haven't had any interaction with the parents yet
A frown appeared on my face.
“ What happened?
There is a kid, his name is Zack, he… carries a lot of anger and sadness
“ Did you try talking to him to know why?
No… I didn't have the chance, he isn't in my class and his homeroom teacher is a b***h.
I squeeze my face at the thought of that b***h,
She is acting so possessive of him, and it's obvious he doesn't want her around him.
My dad's expression became serious,
“ Bree, I know what you are trying to do”
No dad we are not having this discussion, I am healed
“ You can't heal someone without you healing yourself, baby you've got to water yourself first”
Dad i—
“ Hi there, nurse Jessy greeted, has she entered, time to take your drugs, or am I interrupting something?
No, I rushed out.
“ I can always come back later”
“ It's fine, my dad interrupted
“ Okay, she smiled
“ So have you met any young men? I am dying to be a grandpa, my dad said, smirking.
Dad! I am only 23, I whisper yelled.
“ And? The earlier the better”
There are only two men in the school, Mr. Smith the principal who is in his 40s and married and the security guard Mr. orgy w—
Nurse Jessy choked on her spit, and my dad laughed out loud.
Yea, I had a good laugh too,
“ Why would someone be named orgy, " nurse Jessy asked, giggling?
I asked him
“ You what! Nurse Jessy asked, terrified,
Dad laughed out loud again, “ I know you will, so what did he say?
Nothing much except from it was his father's name and his ears turned pink. I said picking my nails.
“ Bet he couldn't look you in the eyes,
I giggled, remembering how he was stuttering and staring at his feet.
Nurse Jessy chuckled, shaking her head, “I should be on my way
I have to check on other patients”
Okay nurse
“And I'm sure you remember the drill,”
She said to my dad.
“ Sure thing, nurse”, he replied with a smile.
“ Okay, take care“
“ I believe men at your workplace are out of my options because I wouldn't want my daughter and grandkids last name to be orgy
I laughed out loud, with my dad.
“ So how are the females?
I scoff, remembering, club deprived ghost and her members.
Dad chuckled at my expression
“ Come on Bree, they can't be all bad,
I gasp dramatically, dad! They all hate me except from Lily,
she is the only good properly dressed teacher after me, she also started working last month,
I muttered, throwing an apple slice in my mouth.
“What did you say to them, Bree? Dad asked, grinning.
Nothing much except from pointing out facts about them because why would they be making Lily uncomfortable by calling her a prude,
And even making her a deal of selling her virginity, like who the f**k does that? I muttered angrily.
“ Bridget Ivory Collins, did you just cuss?
I cussed inwardly and looked at my dad, who was giving me one of his dad glares.
I gulped loudly, sorry dad
He smirked, “I bet what their reaction would be when they realize you are also a prude.
DAD! I am not interested in talking about my s*x life, I groaned.
His expression suddenly turned serious. “ Bee baby, you really need to live your life, you are in your twenties
I sighed, knowing where the conversation was heading.
Dad, your eyes are dropping meaning the medication has kick in, you need to sleep, if you don't nurse Jessy will have my head,
He sighed.
I promise dad I will be here tomorrow, I kissed his head, goodnight dad, I love you.
“ I love you too Bree” he whispered
I tucked him in and left the room.
“ I was coming to kick you out, nurse Jessy said with a smile
I smiled back, he was asleep. I had to force him to sleep.
She giggled at that, “he is a strong man
Good night nurse Jessy
“Good night, Bridget, extend my greetings to Mr. orgy
I laughed at that, will do, and I will also let him know you are very much single.
She sent me a playful glare
I stepped out of the hospital and hailed a taxi.
I took a hot shower and jumped on my bed… naked
Yes I sleep naked, and yes, I don't care.
I snuggled into my sheets, said a short prayer and black out.
