**Clara’s POV**

 

The cab stopped at the front of my No.5 MayMack apartmental and I stepped down, and handed the cab driver his money then turned and headed towards my apartment, dragging my dull self along.

 

Just then, car lights flashed behind and I looked behind to see it’s Drake’s car.

 

I walked up the steps, and searched for the keys to my door.

 

Drake’s car had pulled to his apartment and the lights went off.

 

I slide the keys into the lock hole, waited for seconds before turning the key and the door opened,… I glanced at Drake’s car. He isn’t out of his car.

 

 

 

Seriously, what’s my business.

 

I have something very important to worry about.

 

Mr Row Avantees surgery which was successful but he’s still yet to wake up.

 

I walked in and shut my door.

 

.

 

.

 

**Drake’s POV**

 

I got down and shut the door and walked up to my door, opened it and shut it close.

 

Today again, the cops didn’t come for the Investigation.

 

The whole bank was expecting them, ready to speak for themselves but they didn’t come.

 

 

I turned towards my bedroom, switching on the lights, I walked to the bed, sat down, dropped my briefcase and pulled off my shoes and layed on my bed.

 

“Arhh..” I muttered, feeling a pain on my head.

 

Headache..

 

And yeah, I didn’t speak to Clara.. shit. Was thinking.

 

I sat up and undid my ties, then stood up and walked over to the bathroom where I washed my face.

 

Then walked out and headed to the kitchen to make dinner.

 

.

 

.

 

**Clara’s POV**

 

As I drank the hot coffee while ‘Shania Twain- From This Moment’ played, many thoughts raced through my mind.

 

First was Mr Row’s surgery.. It went successfully but he haven’t woken up though Dr Campbell said he should wake up in twelve or thirteen hours time.

 

The surgery was completed by 2pm… which means he would be awake 3 or 4am.

 

I really pray that he do.

 

Then my mind raced to Noah.. I love him and I miss him so much. I can’t wait to see him again.. be close to him. His father’s business has really keep us afar for weeks. I can’t wait for next week to come by.

 

Then to Drake,.. I thought he’s gonna step out of his car and come blab his usual talks but he didn’t. And he didn’t place music today, he came back early too. This is serious, what if I just question him about his change? Oh whatever!

 

 

 

Oh my God! Louisa, I haven’t spoken to her since last night that I said I’d call her.

 

So unfair of me.

 

My job has taken so much of my time and strength this two days.

 

 

I picked up my phone and dialled her line.

 

She picked up in two rings.

 

I smiled, “Oh Louisa dear, im so sorry for not have called, i’ve been so busy.” I said.

“It’s okay Clara. How are you?” her voice came in calmly.

 

“Im fine, what about you and your family?”

 

“We’re doing fine.. We’ll be leaving back to France tomorrow. Oh I wish we are in Texas, would have come visiting, im sorry.” she said.

“Oh wow, your husband is a french?”

 

“Yeah, he is.”

 

“Wow.. that is lovely.. I hope to see you soon Louisa. I’ve missed you.” I said.

 

“Me too.. what about David. You guys still together?” she asked.

 

I smiled as lost mememories flashed back.

“No Louisa. He got married. He got married before I even got to know. Those

 

months I was emotinally broken but im happy I got over it with the help of someone.” I said.

“Wow. who?”

 

“His name is Noah and we are still together.” I said.

 

“Wow.. marriage?” she asked.

 

I smiled, “Not yet but we would soon get married.” I said.

“Oh that’s great. I can’t wait to be at your wedding.” She said and I smiled.

 

“It would be great Louisa, to see you again after five good years.” I said.

 

“Me too. We would surely throw a party.” she said and I burst into laughter.

 

“Alright Clara. I was actually packing our luggages cos our flight was scheduled early by 8am.” she said and I smiled.

 

“Alright Louisa..take care of yourself and your beautiful kids, I’ll give you a call tomorrow night. bye dear.”

 

 

“Take care too dearie. Love you, bye Clata.” “Bye Louisa.”

 

 

The call ended and instantly my mind flashed back to David.

 

We met at the Adert Medical university where I studied.

 

He was a nurse student too and we fell inlove or rather, I fell inlove with him cos he was so handsome and brilliant.. loving and perfect with words.

 

I just fell inlove with him and I thought maybe he felt same way too when he asked me to give him a chance and I wasted no time in doing that.

 

But after two months of graduation, I found out he’s three weeks married. He didn’t even tell me and when he eventually came to tell me, I slapped him hard on his face before shutting the door to his face.

 

Yeahh.. I was still going through my heartbreak when I met Noah, I met him at the airport.

 

He helped me out of my heartbreak..

 

We became so close to each other.

 

We becam friends, close friends..

 

He helped stitch back my broken heart. We fell inlove at the process and he has

 

been the most loving boyfriend.

 

I love Noah so much.

 

My phone began ringing, I checked it and it’s him. Noah.

 

I smiled and picked it up, placing it on my ear.

 

I don’t mind speaking with him for hours.

My alarm awoke me as usual and I yawned, stretched myself on the bed before rolling out of bed.

 

 

I remembered prayers, and I did a short prayer before heading out to the bathroom to brush and bathe, then going to the kitchen to make breakfast.After which I ate and then went back to my bedroom to dress up.

 

My car. I have no other choice, I have to keep going by cab untill sunday, when

 

I’do have chance to call up a car mechanic.

 

Or maybe I just try and see if it’s gonna start.

 

I slide my feet into my black heels, spread perfume and carried my bag, picked my phone and dropped it into my bag, then my car keys.

 

I switched off the lights and walked out to the sitting-room, then switched the sitting-room lights too before walking outdoor to see Drake standing at the doorstep, dressed up for work.

 

He did his lopsided smile and I didn’t know why I chuckled.

 

“Hello Miss nurse goody two heels.” he said and I narrowed my eyes with a slight

 

frown.

“What does that mean?”

 

He shrugged, “What don’t you understand there? is it the miss nurse? or the goody two heels?” he asked and I almost punched him.

 

He smiled seeing that it annoyed me.

 

 

“Excuse me Drake, if you ain’t serious with your work then im serious with mine.” I said.

 

He shrugged, “Yeah that’s right cos If I am serious with mine, I wouldn’t be standing here, right?” he asked.

“Yes!” I snapped.

 

“Yeah.. that’s because im more serious about you.” he said and I stared confusely

 

at him.

“What do you mean?”

 

“I mean that you are very important to me Clara, can’t you see? nop, why? cos

 

you’re so stubborn to see.” he said.

“Drake, you are delaying me.” I said.

 

“Oh, lock your day. I have a suprise for you.” he said and I rolled my eyes. I locked my door and turned to him,“Now?”

 

“To my car, lemme give you a ride to your work place, I know your car got broken down.” he said and I got quite suprised.

 

That’s like being a helper.

 

What do I say? Should I give in?

 

This guy can be so unpredictable.

 

I gazed at him and he arched his brow, then chuckled, “Quit standing and come on, time is going Clara. Im a banker, bankers go early to work to count money. ” he said with a smirk.

“Im a nurse, we endeavour to be early at the hospital to help save lives.” I said.

 

“Oh, you know you can’t save the lives without you guys being paid a huge amount

 

of money. Don’t talk like you are saving the lives for free.” he said and I almost felt to hit him and walk away from his damn car.

 

“My job is better than yours no matter what you say, Bankers use money to steal money but we get money to save lives.” I said as I entered into his car.

 

He did too, turning on the car engine, “We don’t steal miss nurse goody two heels. We give money to get money, we save people’s money, then they hand you guys the money for you to save their life.. if we don’t save their money, how would you get the money to save their life?” he said as he drove off.

“You are talking trash Drake. If those lives ain’t saved, how would you get the

 

money to save in your so called bank.” I said.

“You ain’t the one who gave life, have you forgotten? Well I ain’t suprised because

 

you guys seem not to believe in God.” he said with a smirk smile.

“Oh Drake, forming the christain guy,You might believe in God but you ain’t close

 

to him” I threw back.

“Oh wow, at least I believe in God.” he said, clapping his hands.

 

I widened my eyes, “Drake a car’s coming. Are you serious!!” I yelled.

 

His hands went back to the starring as he drove pass the car, speeding off and bursted into laughter.

 

“If you are gonna drive this way then drop me off here Drake, now!” I barked and

 

he laughed and slowed down

“Those who save lives ain’t supposed to be scared of death.” he said and I almost

 

punched him.

“You are crazy Drake!” I seethe.

 

“I know Clara. That’s because you are here with me, in my car.” he said.

 

“It’s just cos of one thing.”

 

“Your car’s faulty.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I know but it’s so lovely to have you here in my car.” “That’s the hospital there. GraAvantees.” I said.

 

“Ofcourse I knew GraAvantees before you did.”

 

“Who told you?”

 

“Myself, so here we are.” he said and pulled to the gates of GraAvantees Hospital.

 

My hand went for the door.

“No thank you?” he asked.

 

I smiled. “Thanks Drake, I appreciate the awful ride but thank God, I got to Gravantees, bye.” I said, and opened the door to get down but then I felt his hand on my arm, I looked at him and his brown lovely eyes stared into mine..

 

I inhaled, “What’s that Drake?”

“You can’t say my ride was awful.” he said.

 

“It was ofcourse.” I said.

 

He chuckled then let go of my hand.

 

 

“Have a nice day Miss nurse good two heels.” he said and I got down, and shut the door.

 

He drove away.

 

I breathed out.

 

Drake!

 

I turned and headed into the hospital premises then to the inside building were I was met with smiling faces of every doctor and nurse including Matron Gracia and nurse Johanna though doctor Campbell wasn’t among.

 

I stared at them.

 

“Well Nurse Clara Adams, you did a very great job with Dr Campbell..” Nurse

 

Matron began.

 

My thought instantly went to Mr Row Avantees’s surgery.

 

My heart began beating fast.

 

 

“…The surgery wasn’t only successful but Mr Row Avantees is awake.” she announced and I smiled widely with every relief that came with it.

 

Applauses began, including few patients who were there, when it died down…

 

She stepped closer to me with a warm smile, “You’ve saved us all. We are grateful. Dr Campbell confessed that you were his courage before the surgery and all through the surgery even after it was completed.” she said.

 

I smiled, feeling so honored.

“Thanks Matron Gracia and thanks everyone. Im happy that Mr Row is awake

 

now, we should thank God mostly.” I said and they all nodded in smiles.

“Sir Edwardo and Dr. Campbell would wants to see you now. Go on. They are at

 

Mr Row’s room.” she said and with smiles, I walked towards the elevator.

 

I got to floor 3 and headed to room 203, and opening the door, The two turned to me.

 

Sir Edwardo and Dr Campbell.

 

“Please step close Nurse Adams.” Sir Edwardo said and I did.

 

My eyes fell on Mr Row, he was awake and a small smile appeared on his lips.

“You and Dr Campbell did a very great work here. Im speechless.” he said and

 

stretched out his hand for a handshake and I stretched out mine too and we shook hands.

 

“Thanks Sir. Im greatly honored.” I said with a smile.

 

We withdrew hands and I turned to Campbell with a smile.

 

He smiled too.

 

It was a job well done.

 

#Hours later:

 

(In Dr Campbell’s office)

 

We stood staring at each other.

 

I wonder why he refused sitting when he walked into his office, rather he turned and faced me, his hands in his labcoat pockets.

 

“So this calls for a celebration right?”he asked with a smile.

 

I smiled, “Yes it do.”

“Are you free tonight?” he asked.

 

“Uhmm yeah.” I said.

 

“Great. We should go somewhere and celebrate this. Like a dinner.” he said with a

 

smile.

 

I inhaled, “Where actually?”

“Any cool place, maybe an eatery or bar.” he said.

 

I smiled, “Alright.”

“Can we make it by 8:30pm?”

 

“Sure.”

 

 

“Where should I come pick you? your house address.” “No 5 MayMack Apartmental.”

 

He smiled, “Alright. We gotta celebrate this.” I smiled, “Yes doctor.”
