3 3. Two Choices.

"Come in!"  He said upon hearing the knock and Rissa pushed through the door.

"Rissa, please sit" He offered.

Well, Dr. Shamble was more like a senior to her, he was like a Father. When she had currently resumed at the hospital, he was her mentor. She was always around him learning whatever she was missing out and without a doubt, he was good at the field. Over twenty years of being a cardiologist, he was now a consultant literally like a VIP doctor, he doesn't just attend to any patient.

  "You wanted to see me? Is everything good?" He closed the files he was reviewing.

"Uhm..sorry to bother you Sir but I do need your help" She said back.

"You are like a daughter to me, so you should know that I would offer my help to you in a way I could render it" He assured her.

"There's this patient who was brought in three days ago, he had a terrible accident thereby puncturing his heart, I've kept him in the ICU but it's really difficult" She started.

"You can't continue leaving him there" He responded.

"I know Sir but  his chances are very low" She showed concern.

"But you would still do it?" He raised his brow.

Knowing him, she had realised he was a risk taker according to him, you would never know the outcome of a circumstance until you take the risk without thinking.

"Of course, it would be worse not doing it" She said.

He folded his arms. "It looks like you have made a decision, so why do you need me?" He furthered.

"I need...um..to.."

"To join you in the OR?" He completed.

Rissa could only nod, asking her superior that kind of favour was difficult because of course other superior would be available at the OR but she wanted Dr. Shamble.

"Rissa.. that's no problem" He smiled.

She smiled back immediately. "Really? Thank you sir" She felt relieved.

"When is it scheduled for?" He asked.

"Tomorrow" She replied

"Just drop it with my secretary and do make sure to inform the family making sure to tell them that it's a 50/50 knowing fully well that it is an obvious 80/20" He sounded stern.

That was the worse part about this job, having to lie to the families of the patient. She nodded in response.

"Make sure you lay emphasis to them that the patient might not survive it, prepare them for the worse too, we can only hope while we do our own bit " He gave her a reassuring smile.

She got up immediately feeling really grateful.

"Rissa? "

"Yes sir?"

"Do you have something doing after your shift?"

She had to squeeze her brain a bit. "Not really "

"You know about my son I always spoke about? The interior designer?" He asked.

  He was always talking about his only son who they weren't in so much relationship with eachother but he cared for him and he was a successful interior designer too.

  "I want you to meet him, it's been a while I always invited him and he finally accepted, so can you at least see him after your shift?" He gave her a it's the least you can do  kinda look.

"Uhm...sure, I mean... that's okay sir " She kept an unintentional smile. "I'll like to meet him" She added calmly.

"Great, okay then" He rubbed his palms together in happiness.

With that done, Rissa walked out of the office with a stern face. Lola was approaching the corridors with a file with her.

" You look like you were hit by a truck, Princess " She caught hold of her. " Didn't you get him to be at the OR with you? " She furrowed.

  "Don't  you think a truck is better" She groaned at her.

"No matter what it was, a truck ain't better " She smiled. "What happened? He didn't wanna come or what? " She asked.

"He actually agreed" She assured her.

" Then what? " She was confused.

"He wants to me to me--"

"Nurse Carson! " A doctor had called out. "The files please! "

"Later okay? " She whispered away.

The other nodded and went away with her stern face.

  Unfortunately, the day went by really fast and it was annoying for her, there were times when she wanted the day to speed but it wouldn't and here it was going so fast and very annoying.

  "There's this shopping mall about a few drive. They just stocked their designers and I can't wait for us to try it" She sounded excited.

" Mmm" Rissa could only say as she was packing up her desk.

"Don't worry, I'll get you a two piece cos I love you " She flashed her a smile.

  " Great but I can't come with you " She hung her bag on her arm.

"Yeah great.. wait what?? " She finally realized what she had said. "Why not? " She was suddenly sad.

"I was trying to tell you that Mr Shamble wants me to meet his son and now he's probably waiting for me" She sounded annoyed.  "And you also didn't tell me earlier "She swung her arm around her neck.

"If I had, would you have refused? "She raised her brows.

"Definitely not " She smiled hard. They walked out of the office and through the hallways, they were heading for the ground floor.

"What's his name? " Lola asked in the elevator

"I have no idea which is kinda weird now "  Somehow, Mr Shamble never uttered his name, he always used the word my son instead.

The two ladies walked out of the elevator in their cooperate outfits and there was the doctor standing by the exit glass door, obviously waiting for Rissa.

"Tomorrow darling" Lola said as they briefly hugged. "Tell me everything" She whispered into her ears and walked away with a known smile while Rissa approached him.

"I see your shift is over" He seemed happy.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting sir" She smiled back.

"He's over there waiting in the car, he won't come down" He pointed over to the black flashy BMW.

He seemed to be the arrogant type because what type of man waits for a woman in the car.

"I should leave then" She said and he nodded

Rissa walked towards the door, putting on her seatbelt, she turned to her side and there was a shocked man staring at her.

"Rissa!"

"Law--rence!"

The two were definitely shocked to see each other, apparently Lawrence was Mr Shamble's son which she never saw coming at all.

"This is crazy" He started the car as they he drove on.

"You are his precious son?" She wasn't sure if that was a good question.

He looked wealthy, not the fact that he was the doctor's son but he had his own wealth too, he was the  interior designer behind the gallery which was great.

"Why didn't I know this?". He laughed. "Dad, would always talk about his beloved work daughter who he admires and wants me to meet, I definitely knew the name Rissa was familiar but I had no idea where" He kept looking over at her.

"This was so unexpected but I guess it's truly a small world " She smiled at him.

She wasn't looking forward to this but it might not really be that bad as she thinks, they finally got to his house which was huge, it was nothing like Luke's and why was she even comparing both, she felt it might be too lonely for him in such a huge house.

"Welcome to my crib" He offered her in.

Rissa was not sure exactly why she had agreed to come to his house rather than a restaurant, she was ready for whatever that could possibly happen with him.

It's nice" It was painted in a subtle white colour and a huge portrait of him was hung just above the large TV, she scrutinized the painting and notices the word Luke Art inscribed on it, was this one of Luke's work? It was nice though and really well detailed, his house had that scent of lavender. "Were all the interiors done by you?"

  He nodded. "It's my work" He went over to the kitchen. "Should I make you coffee?"

"Yes please" She went over to the counter which was marbled. "No milk". She placed her bag on the surface.

Rissa had noticed that Lawrence was actually a gentle man and it wasn't all talks at the church, he was a soft man.

He opened the fridge and brought out a cup of left over vanilla ice cream and handed it over to her.

"You might want that too, I should go pull off this" He said pointing at his suit. "And serve yourself the coffee too" He smiled and went over the stairs.

She poured herself a nice cup of coffee and took a long sip before digging into the ice-cream.

"You don't take ice-cream that way" He jogged down the stairs wearing a black slacks and a grey t-shirt.

"Huhn?" She laughed.

"Yea, I'll show you " He digged the spoon into the ice-cream then into his mouth, he grabbed her face.

Rissa wasn't sure what he was about to do but she was dead ass curious. He leaned into her and she could literally feel his lips on hers, she opened her mouth just wide enough and he emptied the ice-cream into her mouth, having a feel of his lips which tasted like mint. Goddamn it! That was sensational and she craved more which was very unexpected.

He looked at her mischievously. "Do you like it?" He muttered but she heard.

"I don't know, I guess you would have to do it again " She licked her lips. Whether this was right or not, she didn't care one bit.

He leaned in closer than before and started kissing her lips really softly, creeping his hands around her waist, the kiss went deeper, they were trying to find each other's tongue until they finally did, she had her hand around his neck and lean back so he could make the next move. Just then he pulled away and looked at her with what she wasn't sure of but it was definitely not lust which she recognized anytime.

"What?" She caressed his lips landing him a soft kiss.

"You are a special woman Rissa" He said lowly but very gentle.

She smiled. "Thank you, I never knew you were this sweet".

"I don't wanna do this knowing fully well that you think it's all I wanna do" He continued.

She wasn't sure where this was probably heading but she didn't like it at all, it was ruining the whole mood.

"Go on" She prompted him still holding on to his neck.

"I really want to make love to you but--"

"But what?" She raised her brow. "If you don't want this then it's fine" She pulled her hands away immediately.

"Don't do that! " he clenched onto her hands. "I want this even more than you do"

"Then what? Are you suddenly trying to act like the good church man?" She asked.

He smiled sarcastically. "This ain't even about the church or anything" He replied.

"Then what?" She was confused now.

"Rissa, I want you to know that I want this not because it's all I want but because I want to take things to the next level with you, I want you to be my woman and me yours" He said piercing into her eyes.

She had not expect Lawrence wanted it to go this way, she wasn't sure she was ready to have that kind of relationship with him, her previous relationship was like four years ago with Ryan, who she dated for about two years before realizing that he was engaged and he was just using her to satisfy his balls. She swore never to have anything serious, it would only be sex if that's what they wanted and considering that she had planned to stay away from marriage after her parents marriage shattered.

"Uhm.. I.. um.. I don't know Lawrence " She admitted.

"You don't have to say much though, I just thought I told you this, so you know it's not all sex for me" He pecked her cheek.

"I do now" She tried to smile it off. "Can we continue? " She added.

"Sure" He smiled broadly.

He leaned into her deeply this time around while she wrapped her legs around his waist, she savoured in the kisses as he played his tongue in her mouth, he circled her waist with his hands and lifted her off from the chair and he walked towards the stairs, he opened the door and slammed it behind him with his leg.

He placed her gently on the bed as she got out of her jeans and the blouse, she was only on her undies even though she took out her bra too, he pulled his shirt over his head and displayed his well framed abs, he walked over to her and over to look down on her.

"You are beautiful " He smiled and Rissa saw that the eyes were genuine and filled with sincerity, no sign of lust anywhere. He leaned in and kissed her breast

She pulled him into her and licked her ways from his ear  and going down she slipped her hand into his slacks and felt that nutcracker, it was firm and hard. He moaned in explosion into her ears, he took off her panties and laid his fingers at the G spot and Rissa knew she on another planet and just then he grabbed the sheets over them and slowly he went into her, it was indeed heaven as both moaned into each other, he kept circling his tongue around the hard red nipples.

"My gosh!" She moaned softly and he grinded her very smooth.

"Does it feel good?" He mouthed the boobs now.

"I'm going crazy" She felt him pull out and she went above him and trailed her mouth down to the balls. "I'm gonna suck'em hard" She smirked knowing how good she was and he smiled back .

It was something neither Rissa or Lawrence would ever forget because it was amazing to really have good sex whether it was unideal or not, it felt alright.

"Are you awake?" He whispered above her.

They were both tangled into each other's embrace and were exhausted after so many rounds.

"Mmmm" Her eyes were shot against his broad chest but she could hear his breath in her ears.

He looked over at the table clock. "It's 1'o clock" He muttered.

"Enough time to rest" She finally said and pecked his chest. "Just sleep"

He smiled. "Are you hungry?"

"Nah.. are you?"

"Not really"  He tighten his grip around her.

"I can't check my phone right now cos I'm sure mom has called me a hundredth time" She heard herself chuckle.

"You'd deal with that hopefully" He kissed her hair and he savoured the scent, she smelled nice.

"Yeah... I just wanna sleep, stop talking" She smiled and shut her eyes, suddenly Luke came to her head, she had not spoken to him after she had left that morning and he had not called her too, maybe, he didn't want to and she was not going to bother him either.

"Sorry" He shut his eyes and also drifted to sleep.

He felt at peace and complete with her and he really hoped she considered what he had told her earlier of making her become his which would really make so much sense, now that he thought about it, he was happy to have attended that church which his mom always nagged him about, the woman had to have a surgery done and he did not want to loose her, he promised God that if she survived it then he would attend the church and also convert and he saved her and he never regretted the decision ever since.
