Pushing the trolley as they walk towards the van when Alex asks, "Diandra, did you take up your bags that you bought earlier?"
Hearing her say, "Yes!" Alex continue to move forward, noticing as he pack the bags in the van she took the box of doughnuts and sits in the van.
Pushing the trolley to where it had a space then went in the van, seeing she had already taken one doughnut and began eating.
Hearing her saying, "This is so good, here take a bite," seeing her hand stretches out near his mouth.
"Diandra, when I reach home I will eat, can't you see I am driving?"
"Just taste it," she urges.
Submitting to her, he took a bite. "Goodness, this take good, can I get another bite please?"
Hearing her laugh when she said, "Ah, I know you will like it, it's one of my favorite goodies I snack on."
We had only reached home when he gives me the keys to open the door, as he takes the bag out of the van and follows her inside.
Going to the kitchen taking a glass and put some ice then opens a pack of juice pouring it into the glass. She then put one pack in the freezer and the others underneath to cold.
Taking the box with the doughnuts and the glass of juice and went into the hall and sit down enjoying her goodies.
Seeing the last Diandra call out to Alex, "Alex do you want any doughnuts?" With the box close, she leans her head back and closed her eyes, feeling her taste bud satisfied for the moment.
Alex came and sit next to her taking the box, "What is this I am seeing Diandra, are you so greedy?"
Seeing the smile and she nodded her head then she said, "For doughnuts, yes and I know you don't like to much chocolate."
"You are really unbelievable, you alone eats five."
"Oh, no, no, no, we had two in the van, I just eat three."
"Ok, but tell me where did you put all of that, your stomach is so flat and the doctor did say not too many sweets."
"I know, but I am as strong as a horse, there is no need to worry about me?"
Hearing her sigh then rest down the glass, "Now I am good, I can rest my foot for a while, all that walking has irritated my foot a bit."
"Diandra, you can go and rest for a while and later we could go for a little drive and get some freshly baked doughnuts at the bakery, and then get some dinner, what you say?"
"We shall see and as you reminded me a few minutes ago what the doc said, so don't you think we will be overdoing it now?"
Alex notices how she stretch herself as she yawn then ask, "Alex, don't you go to church anymore?"
Glimpsing at him when he replies saying, "I haven't gone in a while if that's what you want to know?"
"Well, while I was shaking Pastor Alvin hand he ask for you."
"He told me that when I met him, I went looking for you at the church."
"I am sure he was happy to see you, and he haven't change a bit, can you believe it?"
"Yes, that is true, we talk for a few minutes, I even ask him to come and bless the house."
"That is wonderful, now if you will excuse me, I have to take my medication and my eyes are burning for some shut eye."
"Diandra, when I came home I notices your bag are packed, are you leaving?"
"I haven't heard anything from Maria yet, but I was getting late for church so I just pack the clothes from the laundry basket. Thinking about it now I should check and see if there are any message from them.'
Climbing the stairs slowly glad to get away, 'His closeness was beginning to make me want to kiss him.'
In the room glad for the distance, checking her phone, seeing there were three voice messages. Diandra listening to it, hearing that all was well she was happy, then went and undress, pulling on a house dress.
Returning to the bed seeing Alex was always lying down, 'When did he enter the room, was I so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't hear him enter?'
Wanting to know how her foot was healing up Diandra took a small mirror with her to the bed. Hearing Alex ask, "Diandra, can I come on weekends to visit you?"
Not looking at him knowing she will become weak, but his voice sound so pitiful. 'If I say no he would be broken, "Yeah, sure, but I hope you know I does be busy, and most of the time I am not at home."
"Diandra, I will call when I am of duty before coming."
"That is a good idea, and Alex you must understand that I was here only to help you out, so let us not complicate things, we are friends so let us remain that way."
Closing his eyes feeling more hurt, 'How can she say that we already cross that border line, why does she make it sound as though Friday night meant nothing to her?
I know she was still under the sedative of the anesthetic but she was aware of everything that was happening, I am sure of that.'
With his eyes close for the lack of sleep during the night, he must have dose off, not aware for how long.
When he heard the loud squeal and the crashing of glass he jump up, knowing it was Diandra or was he dreaming? Feeling his body trembling as he opens his eyes hearing her crying.
Rolling across to her side, her eyes were close but her face has become very pale, as though she has seen a ghost. Touching her, "Diandra, what is the matter?"
