"Well look at you, smiling all day long..." James smiled and immediately commented. I am really happy.
"It's Doc's summer. Everyone's having fun." I replied to him and he just nodded, still smiling at me.
"Friday I had a little barbecue party at home. You guys should come..."
"Oh really..." Noah enthusiastic.
"alright. I can bring Doc's escort." I'll come with Freddie. She must be happy to know my friends.
"Camping?Of course I can. Your boyfriend?" James smiled a little. I'm nagging.
"I don't think you have a boyfriend..." I grimaced. She's right I didn't have a boyfriend at least until a few days ago.
"Hmm actually did not, but someone from the past forced me to come back and I accepted because of his sincerity to wait for me. She's very sweet..." I closed my lips, I talked too much because I was too happy. My face was hot because James noticed me talking with a perfectly fluffy smile.
"So that's why you look so radiant." James laughed at me. "That's good for you. At least you found someone who loves you sincerely." I smiled, he was right, it was a relief.
"Dok, I've finished the report you requested and I've sent it to your email." Noah came to get James.
"Ohh well. Noah remembers tomorrow you should also come tomorrow party at home..." James patted Noah on the shoulder.
"Of course, good Doc." Noah immediately agreed to his mentor's invitation.
James left us both, while I continued working on patient charting and soon had to visit them to check if there was anything they needed.
"I'm invited to Boss' party." Noah smiled broadly.
"Isn't that good?" I glanced at.
"Very good. My hard work is appreciated by the boss. And actually Doctor James was very generous to me. He's a very good trainer. I'm so grateful to be able to intern under his supervision."
"Good, may your work always be good... "
"Then can we go with baby?!"
"Ewww no, I brought my girlfriend with me." Noah's eyes were round.
"Daughter? Since when do you have a boyfriend?" I just laughed and smiled broadly at the curious Noah. I did say I didn't have a boyfriend because I was busy pursuing my goals.
"Well, since yesterday... My old boyfriend asked me to come back and I agreed. He wants to wait for me to go to college. I can't refuse it." A big smile accompanied my confession.
"Sadly, I just wanted to ask you to be my real boyfriend." I glanced and knocked on Noah's head.
"Who wants to be a playboy girlfriend like you! You don't need a boyfriend, you just need a date last night?" Noah immediately laughed.
"You're right too... " I want to throw him this rancid doctor right now.

Fred agreed to accompany me to James's. When I brought her later.
"How do you seem to be so close to your Boss?" He was curious about my relationship with James.
"I know Dr. James, we were neighbors until I was about thirteen and I was very close to Aunty Jane..." I talked about my relationship with James. About him being my brother's friend and my closeness to his mother.
"Sweetie, I've been thinking about this for a while. If you go to college, stop working if it's too heavy. Is not medical college very mind-blowing. You can always count on me, don't consider me someone else..." I immediately shook my head.
"I love working at minimal hours. I was a medical student before. My study in nursing will not be much different. I can do it, you don't have to worry about me." I'm happy with the support, but I won't let myself depend on others too far.
"You can always make Jen objection. Just once I want you to trust me..." I looked into his eyes.
"I can't Fred..."
"Why?" He kissed me. "I never thought you'd use me. I'm there for you. If you're afraid I'll think that." He kissed my lips and made me smile.
"Not that, you saw my mother. She's fallen so deep since Dad left her. I'm so glad you support me, I'm grateful. But giving up my life to someone else is something I can't do. People change, my fate and our destiny can change. I don't know what's going on, I just want to be in control of my own life... "
"Do you think I'll control your life if you take something from me." He pinched my nose.
"It's not like that... I just want to be able to stand alone. Don't understand you." Fred laughed seeing me grouch.
"Alright, but I want to give you a little bit every month. Okay. You have to take it." I smile.
"So now I have a new source of income..." I grinned wide.
"Let's just say I'm your sugar daddy." Fred laughed crisply but then he spoke seriously.
"I just want to make sure you're happy. I love you and I expect nothing in return but the pleasure of seeing you happy. Don't refuse my gift okay... I know you skimp on your college tuition and you're taking your mother's life so you're thin like this. Eat better, buy something for yourself...."
"Thank you... " My eyes are heating up, Fred is so good. I never wanted to expect anything from him, but he was good. A tear escaped my eyes.
"Hey, why are you crying..."
"It's okay, I'm just overwhelmed. You're so good, thank you." Fred smiled and wiped my tears.
"My weird love, another girl never felt this way. You're the only one like this, you're really weird."
"I don't want to be a sugar baby...." He grimaced wide.
"Then be my wife." She stroked my hair. I was silent at his words.
"Fred?" Aapa he's serious. He knows my answer to that question that I'm not ready right now. Why did he say it again.
"Why are you so serious, I'm just kidding..." He laughed because I was silent for so long over his question. And I kissed her for being anxious. He welcomed my kiss and we had a long kiss later.
"You know. if I'm ready. I'll propose to you." Fred raised his eyebrows hearing my words.
"really... " I nodded and looked into his eyes.
"Then I promise to wait for you ..."
