Riding along the road, Greg loss in thoughts almost bumps into the front seat. Enraged he raises his head to see what's going on.
The driver sweating profusely,... I...I... I'm sorry sir I almost hit someone now.
Just few minutes earlier, a young lady looking like she is in her early twenties making her way out of the party a lot and can barely walk is supported by Chelsea as they make their way along the road hoping to find a taxi.
Brenda had left her purse and phone so she had to go back to the venue for it, settling Brenda on a bench she leaves after warning her not to wander around.
After sitting on the bench for a while, she begins to feel cold since the coat over her shoulders is not helping. Counting the cars passing by. She just jumps to the front car causing a scene.
Greg's driver already at his limits, gets down from the car . Approaching the drunk Brenda is already hectic in its own, hey can you leave the road so I can pass. Reasoning with a drunk is like telling your couch how your day went.
As the altercation is going on, Chelsea arrives and finds Brenda on the road. Running to her, she apologizes for the disturbance. Greg seems to have heard a familiar voice so he steps out of the car. Seeing the owner step out of the car, Chelsea starts apologizing but in few minwuteswlooks shocked since it is Greg.
Having been long she saw him, she is a little shy so avwwoids his face but Greg giving her no chance directly invites them in to ride with him.
Drunk Brenda is directed to the front seat while Chelsea and Greg sits at the back.
The silence is suffocating as no one tries to break the silence except for the snores of Brenda who is already asleep after throwing tantrums.
Greg sneakily reaches out for her hand when she lets down her guard.Startled Chelsea tries to pull away but grimaces in pain. Shush... Sorry looks like you forgot you got hurt earlier, he says while blowing air onto the sore.
Suddenly she feels warm in her heart, for him to actually notice she is hurt and even doing this. It feels ridiculous but everything change when it is done by him.
They stop at a pharmacy, Greg then gets some bandages and ointment to treat the sore.
Climbing up the stairs on a normal day will have been easier not today carrying another baggage, Brenda . After settling her in bed, Chelsea takes a shower then climbs into bed.
Recalling earlier, she can't help but blush, the sudden closeness, she could feel his breath on her face, the slight itchiness from when his beard touched her skin all this when he was applying medicine on the sore.
Encroached in her thoughts, her phone dings .
Are you already asleep?..Good night love, sweet dreams. Seeing the sender, her smile grows wide and wider. Not appear too eager she waits for some time before replying, You too and a shy emoji.
