Forty

While Lennox quickly said goodbye to the two girls because Veronica sent a message that Dionne came from her house with Baby Denise and had a drink. He frowned as if he sympathized with the baby's drinking. What is that girl's problem? He only disappeared for a few hours and it followed the exit. When he got home he was shocked that Dionne hadn't come home and Baby Denise wasn't in the crib either. He tried to call Kiley and ask but he didn't know because he was in the hospital right now. And he next called Ayesha.

"I don't know. She didn't call me so I don't know where she is now. But I assure you she's fine," Ayesha answered on the other line.

"Are you sure that your best friend is fine? If he has a problem, he should have left the child with you. He came from my sister's house and he had a drink there and now he said he left and said he was going home but he was not at home. It's late at night so I'm worried. What's worse is that I can't contact him," said Lennox.

He sighed as he looked around the city road, maybe Dionne and Denise were there.

"I'll call him," Ayesha said.

"The phone is off and out of coverage area. You should talk to hear maybe what else can be thought of," answered Lennox.

"Dionne is not a suicidal type of woman. So just relax there. I'll call her and tell you right away," Ayesha said then hung up.

He just shook his head with a sigh while sitting in the driver's seat. He put the car to the side because he was wondering where the woman could have gone. He thought of driving slowly and looking around. He was stunned to pass by a square and there he saw Dionne sitting and holding her child. So Lennox's anger grew so he immediately put the car aside and went to it, he didn't care what Dionne would say to him but he was very angry.

"What are you doing? You include your daughter in your craziness. Look at you, you look like a mess, you're drunk," Lennox said.

But when Dionne turned to him, he didn't seem to react and was not surprised by her arrival, he just continued to look at the young people dancing. So he was very annoyed when he looked at Baby Denise, she was already asleep so he immediately took the child and brought him to the car. He will deliver it to Veronica first, they will settle the bill now. This angered him. Soon he was driving while leaving Dionne in the square. He only drives slowly because Baby Denise might fall out of the seat. That girl is too selfish. Didn't even think about what would happen when the child got soaked in the cold. He is very stubborn, if he had planned to wander, he would have looked for a safe place where he could leave the baby and sleep well. When he reached his sister's house, he immediately entered and gave it to Veronica.

"When the baby wakes up, feed her some milk, Veronica," he said.

"Yes, brother Lennox. Where did you find them?" asked his sister.

"It's too cold in the plaza," answered Lennox, shaking his head.

While Dionne's eyelids were getting heavy, it seemed like she would fall asleep at any moment, but she had no plans to go home because she was annoyed to see Lennox, she might slap him. After kissing him, will he just look for someone else? What did he do just rebound? After a while, a heavy hand pulled him.

"Let me go," Dionne said in a stern voice.

"Don't make a scene here, Dionne. Let's talk at home, don’t embarrass yourself in front of everyone," he answered her and pulled her with great force.

"I don't want to go home. I want to wander until tomorrow," Dionne replied.

"Don't you dare, Dionne? You won't like what I'm going to do to you if you insist," Lennox said.

He couldn't handle his strength so he was put in the front seat and put on a seat belt until he closed his eyes. He is very drunk and wants to sleep. She is surrounded by her feelings so she felt like throwing up. She didn't care if he was mad at her as long as she wanted to sleep now when she got home and she didn't want to fight. She didn't know where Lennox took her baby but she knew Denise was safe.

I'm sorry baby, your mommy just has a problem, I feel sorry for you, she said in her mind.

He didn't talk to her so she just kept driving until they reached the house. While Veronica was looking at Baby Denise while drinking milk. She smiled because she felt that the two had a lovers' quarrel. No one wants to admit it yet, but it seems like someone is secretly jealous. She's the one laughing like crazy right now. She doesn't know why she wants these two to stay together and have a relationship more than friendship. To stop hiding their feelings and she is very curious as to who her brother Lennox is meeting tonight which makes Dionne jealous so she gets drunk.

That love mess is crazy. It's a good thing that her relationship with Richard is safe and hasn't been controversial so she doesn't have any problems to deal with because her husband isn't looking for someone else. While Lennox just looked around while driving. She didn't know if Dionne was asleep or just pretending to be asleep but she wasn't. Lennox just sighed because Dionne didn't seem to have any plans to talk to him. He wanted to ask her what his problem was so he could help her. But he had no plans to talk to her, so his annoyance increased. When they arrived at the house, he got out of the car and went straight inside the house as if avoiding him. He will let him go now because he is drunk, he will talk to him tomorrow if he is really in the right mood.

He doesn't like to fight because he wants them to live quietly in a house and he won't bully her and leave without saying goodbye. He just wants to know what his problem is now because he wants to help. After all, they are both friends. The thought that she might be thinking about her ex-boyfriend again made her get drunk. Sometimes he doesn't understand women's behavior. Everything has been left, not including letting go of the feelings, no matter how deep the love is. That's how it should be when the person who was given love is no longer there.

He entered his room and got dressed. Maybe Dionne had fallen asleep because she couldn't hear his voice on the other side. He showered for a while then put back the new clothes he wore. He left the room and thought to go to the woman's room when he opened the door, he was surprised to see her lying on the marble floor and she had thrown out everything she had eaten and drunk because she was so drunk. He covered his nose because of the pungent smell. He just shook his head when the woman was cleaned. He wanted to pinch her on the cheek because she cleaned him of dirt, but his job at the hospital was even worse, he cleaned up different dirt.

He looked for clothes in her closet because he had finished cleaning her body and removed the clothes that were wet as well as the pants she was wearing. Likes to drink but can't. He chose a large dress to make his drunkenness comfortable. After a while, he was sleeping soundly now because he was dressed. He put a blanket over his whole body so he wouldn't get too cold in the air-conditioned. While looking at it, he realized something, maybe this woman is drinking because she just wants to release the accumulated pain in her heart. Grumpy and different so maybe he was overacting in the part where he got angry at her and suddenly put her in the car without letting her explain her side to him. He has no right to be angry with her because he doesn't know what she feels. He is just a friend who secretly loves. He just doesn't know if his heart can still meet his feelings now. It is difficult to love secretly because he is afraid that he might be rejected.
