“No, Mr. Benjamin! My ankle hurts really bad, but I feel very happy.” Color washed off Janie’s face.
Benjamin had no words.
He carried her across the road and to the parking lot.
After spotting Janie’s vehicle, Benjamin positioned her in the driver’s seat.
“Do you think I’m in a state to drive, Mr. Benjamin?”
“You can use your left leg.” Benjamin pulled a long face.
“But I have a problem getting out of the car when I reach my apartment.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“Can you help me to the end, Mr. Benjamin? You might as well.”
“Are you expecting me to drive you home or the hospital?”
Janie looked shrewd as ideas kept popping into her head. “Home.”
“I won’t fall for your trick. I’m taking you to the hospital. You can get a ride home from there.” Benjamin scoffed.
Janie pouted her lips.
Still, she was quickly back to her perky self. She uttered with a sweet smile, “Thank you for tonight, Mr. Benjamin. In any case, I feel lucky tonight.”
Benjamin let out a scoff. “You wouldn’t sprain your ankle if you didn’t run into me tonight.”
“But what’s a sprained ankle when you can hold me and take me to the hospital?” Janie laughed.
Benjamin shook his head before putting his hands out to carry her out of her car and into his.
He then took her to the hospital.
Janie got a ride in Benjamin’s car for the first time ever, and it was on the front passenger’s seat too. Benjamin buckled her up in her seat.
Smiling from ear to ear, Janie screamed internally. You’re not just my love guru, Emmeline. You’re my Lady Luck too!
Emmeline had no idea she had become someone else’s Lady Luck. The only thing on her mind was the shooting pain in her head. She woke up in agony.
Her head was bursting, probably from drinking the hard liquor.
“Ahhh! I’m going to die!
“Help me! My head hurts!”
With her hands over her head, Emmeline rolled around in bed frantically.
The growing pain only clouded her consciousness.
She wanted to give Daisy a call, but she was too out of it to say anything despite the call connecting.
Abel was in dreamland when his phone suddenly blurred in the dark of the night.
He reached out for his phone. It took one look to scare all the sleepy bugs away.
