THE DIARY OF A CALL GIRL 2

"Beatrice" I could hear my name from a distance. "Beatrice" The voice grew louder and intense. I opened my eyes slowly and I looked around me in confusion.

"Where am I?" I asked as I tried to sit up. I screamed at the pain I received from my lower abdomen.

"Some kind neighbours brought you in early this morning. You are in my hospital and I am the doctor here ,Dr.Richard." I turned and I saw an Angel dressed in white. He had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. I smiled at him and he smiled back revealing a perfect dentition and a beautiful smile

"What happened to me? Where is my uncle?" I tried to remember what happened last night but I was having a terrible headache that made it difficult for me to remember anything.

"Your uncle raped you Beatrice and right now he is in the custody of the police",reality dawned on me. Rape? Did he just say rape? I've heard of it in movies but I never thought someone I took as my father could do this to me.

"The lab result showed that you inhaled some kind of substance which affected your lungs. Apart from this, all other injuries you sustained are minor." What is this man talking about? I asked myself. I could feel hot tears rolling down my cheeks and before I knew it, I started crying uncontrollably. Dr.Richard took me in his arms and hugged me tight.

"Everything will be alright Bea". I love the way he said my name. He is so nice, warm and caring. He gently lowered me to the bed after I became calm and then I slept off.

"Uncle please don't do this!!" I frantically struggled with myself then I felt warm hands wrapping me.

"Bea, Ssshhh, it's okay Darling, your uncle isn't here". I opened my eyes in fear and I looked up to Dr.Richard.

"How could he have done this to me?!" I cried out bitterly "I took him as my own father. I loved him the way I loved my father. What did I do to deserve this trauma" I felt used, dirty and terrible. All Dr.Richard did was to hug me nonstop like as if that will bring back my virginity which my uncle forcefully took from me.

"Beatrice, I promise you, everything will be alright". I felt like slapping this man. How will everything be alright when I don't know what my future looks like. The traumas, the pains, the memories, the regrets, the disappointments, what I am going through and will still go through; how can he say everything will be fine? He is so lucky he is handsome, I would have dented his face. Oh God! How I so wish my parents were alive. I miss them so much with each passing day.

"Beatrice, you will be fine, I promise". The way he said those words made it hard for me not to believe. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"The nurses will be here any moment to administer your treatment and give you some drugs and injection. I will be back later to check up on you". And with that he kissed me on my forehead, smiled at me and left. I felt empty and lonely. This man is being so nice and caring to me. What does he want? My thoughts were interrupted as a young beautiful nurse stepped in holding a tray containing packed food, drinks and chocolates.

"Ma'am, the doctor sent these to you. He said I should make sure you eat very well before giving you any drugs". I opened the pack of food and smiled. He just won my heart. How did he know I am love with jollof rice. My stomach grumbled and I ate the food with so much concentration. Damn! I was so hungry.

Few minutes after taking my injection and drugs, the door opened and Dr.Richard stepped in holding a big teddy bear. Gosh! He is so handsome.

"How is my Beatrice doing?" My Beatrice ke?

"I'm fine Doctor"

"Please call me Richard" Eh? You say??

"Okay Dr.Richard" I smiled at him.

"I brought you company" He handed over the fluffy teddy bear and I hugged it dearly inhaling the faint scent of his perfume.

"Thank you Doctor" I said almost close to tears. Dr.Richard was my only friend and the only person that kept visiting me.

"Dont cry Bea, I'm here for you if you need me". He stayed for sometime, told me stories and made me laugh a lot and then he left after I fell asleep.

Few months later, I was to be discharged from the hospital. Dr.Richard and I became so close and fond of each other that nurses, patients and other people in the hospital felt we were dating. That fateful morning, he walked into my ward smiling broadly.

"Guess who is going home today" I smiled widely then the smile slowly turned into a sad face.

"What is the matter Darling? Aren't you happy you are going home?" I looked at him with tears welling up in my eyes.

"I like it here, I don't want to go home. In fact, I dont have a home anymore. I can't go back to that house" I blinked and the tears dropped on my cheeks.

"But your uncle is serving his jail term. He wont be able to hurt you anymore".

"It's not about that devil" I snapped "It's about the memories, the traumas. I can't battle with that on my own. I like it here, with you and the nurses. I don't want to go anywhere" I hugged my teddy that I was now so fond of.

"But this is a hospital sweetheart, you can't stay here" He paused for sometime as though he was pondering on something and then continued "Okay, how about coming to my house pending when you will be fit to go back to school". Is this man smoking grass? Come to your house ke? I frowned at him.

"It's okay Bea, I don't bite. Besides I am hardly at home due to my work. So you have nothing to worry about okay?" I shook my head up and down and he helped me to my feet, packed my few belongings and we left.

It was supposed to be a 45 minutes drive but because of traffic, we spent 1 hour 20 minutes on the road. I stepped into the sitting room and my jaw dropped. The sight was breath taking. He gave me a spare key and took me on a tour around the house.

"Do you live alone?" I asked in amazement.

"Yes I do darling. My younger sister often comes around before but she is married now"

"Wow" I exclaimed "Your house is so beautiful".

"I'm glad you like it. Just relax, make yourself comfortable and feel at home. I will be back soon" He kissed me on my forehead and left for the office. Immediately, I felt lonely and empty. I have become so fond of the doctor that sometimes I wonder if I am actually falling in love with him. That's not totally a bad idea. I shrugged and threw myself on the sofa. I couldn't stop smiling to myself and slowly I drifted into the best sleep I haven't had in months.
