Sally frowned and asked, "Why do I have to leave? I want to be here with Elaine."
Emmett said indisputably,
"Just go, all of you. I want to be here with her alone."
His tone was gentle, but was with indulgence and desolation.
Sally paused. With an arm around Sally’s waist Jasper took her out of the room.
"Let go of me. Why are you always around? Just leave me alone!"
Sally pushed Jasper away and rolled her eyes. She kept walking and looked mad.
"Hey, Sally, it's late now. Just hold on a second and let me drive you home."
"No, thanks! I don't deserve your grace, Mr. Vice President. And I don't want to end up naked on someone's bed again!"
Jasper sighed, "Alright, just stop messing with me. Let's go, it's not safe for you to walk alone late at night. There might be bad guys lurking in the dark."
"Bad guys? You know what? I think you are the worst guy I've ever encountered. Get it?"
"Alright then, so I'll follow you home and strip myself naked and lie on your bed. Then you can make fun of me the next day, okay?"
Sally blushed.
"I'm not that cheap like you!"
Like a little rabbit, Sally darted away.
"Stubborn woman! Bite me!"
Jasper stomped his foot and clenched his teeth.
Ten minutes later....
"Hey! What was wrong with you? Just drive off, don't follow me. You are so out of your mind."
Sally couldn't bear it anymore. She stopped. With hands gripping around her waist, she shouted at Jasper.
But he looked relaxed and shrugged.
"Do you think I want to do this? And to drive my fancy car like this? How about you just stop being yourself for a moment and get in the car?"
"I said I don't need you to escort me home! I can walk home, just drive off."
"Nope, not gonna happen. I also said that I will take you home. If you don't get in, I'll just keep following you like this."
...
Sally was going crazy and stomped hard. "Crazy man!"
Crack! Sally broke her shoe and fell to the ground. She sat on the ground embarrassingly.
"Wow..."
Screech!
Jasper stopped the car immediately and jumped off to check on her.
"Are you ok? How did you fall?"
Sally pouted, and tears started to run down her cheeks.
"It's all your fault! You are such a jinx!"
Jasper looked at her foot and saw her broken shoe. He almost burst into laughter.
You deserved it! Because you were too stubborn.
That’s why you broke your heel.
"Can you still walk? Have you twisted your ankle?"
Jasper raised his eyebrow and asked.
Sally blushed and was so mad.
"None of your business!"
"Alright then..."
Jasper suddenly stretched out his arms and carried her up. Sally wasn't prepared for it and screamed.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll take you home. Miss Cripple."
"Stop calling me that!"
Jasper showed her broken shoe and teased,
"Isn't it? Look at you, without this shoe, can you still keep balance? So, you are a cripple now."
Sally glared at him, and was speechless.
Finally, Jasper carried her into the car and took her back to her home.
She rent a small apartment, which was about 50 square meters. Jasper carried her in and looked around for a while, then sat down on a small stool.
"Eh?"
Sally opened her eyes widely.
"Why are you still here? It's almost mid-night, you shouldn’t be sitting down!"
...
Jasper looked around the room and said seriously,
"I told you earlier that I will stay at your place, and spend the night with you."
"What the hell?"
Sally roared and as if was about to blow the roof off.
Jasper took off his coat and threw it on the bed. Then, he unbuttoned his shirt and showed off his strong chest.
"Come on, I'll give you the chance to take revenge. You can strip me naked and wash my underwear."
Sally was dumbfounded.
...
Emmett was lying on the edge of the ward bed and was hugging Elaine, as if an old couple lying there together.
Emmett slightly turned his pretty face and looked at the sleeping young lady.
"Silly girl, let me be around you and grow old together with you. What do you think?"
He whispered and his words were like faint clouds lingering around her cheeks.
Her thick eyelashes trembled, and she slightly twitched her mouth. Then buried her little face into his arms.
In her dreams, maybe she thought she was in a safe haven.
