Chapter 52 What’s up with him?
Alright. Staying in the car alone with the drunk Larry could be so tiresome.
He was just all about ranting and ranting..
First, he would tell her about how she looks beautiful and well, even tho that was said in his drunken state, she took the compliment in and did blushed.
Second, he would rant all from Genesis to Revelation about how he was handsome and the perfect man for her.
All she plead for was rest but it was the opposite with Larry.
She heard a sound from behind and her heart leapt.
She turned to Larry and shook her head placing her finger on her mouth signalling for him to keep his mouth shut.
“What?… why?…”he still went ahead to talk.
“Hey, come on.. shush.”she whisper – yelled.
“Why?”Larry shouted.
Eish, damn it!.
This girl really needs a slap on his pretty face.
Annie’s heart jumped out of her chest and drop inside her mouth when she heard a soft knock on the window.
Her eyes went out in a wide as she took them to glass.
The glass was tinted so there’s no how the person would have seen them but they can see the person from inside.
The person knocked again, this time around, a little harder.
Alright, they’re doomed.
They’ve got found out.
Are they gonna get killed?..
Since Garry said the place they are is dangerous… and…
Oh, what to do.
The person was putting on an all black cloth and tho, she haven’t seen his face but his dress alone tells it all – DANGER.
Just then, Larry pressed a button and the door opened slightly.
What?!!!!!
Annie’s eyes popped out of its sockets.
A hand grabbed the door and yanked it open.
Annie closed her heart tightly and held her chest.
Larry has finally got them in trouble.
“Annie!”she heard a familiar voice called.
She opened her eyes and looking up at the person, she let’s out a relief sigh.
“Oh, my, Garry…”she breathed out.
Thank God.
They are really safe for sure now.
“How are you?. He’s done a lot of stupid things, hasn’t he?”Garry replied, leaning his hand over the car door and looking at Larry.
“Yeah, alot. I’m just glad you’re here now.”
“Look at you, man, you look whipped!”Garry said to Larry with a sigh.
“Yeah. XoXo.”Larry nodded with a smile.
He rolled his eyes and went to the other and opened the door then dragged him out to his car.
“Can you drive?”he asked Annie who was now standing beside his car.
“Are you trying to shame me?. I wouldn’t have called if I could.”she scoffed.
“Oh, my bad. Forgive me, fair Annie.”Garry replied.
“Get in.”he told her.
“What about his car?”she asked nudging her head forward to Larry’s car.
“I will lock it up for now and ask John to come get it tomorrow morning.”he replied.
She nodded and he walked away while she entered his car.
He came back to occupy the driver’s seat and started the engine then drove off.

Next morning
Dining room
…..
“It’s not that bad tho.”Garry nodded his head while munching on the doughnut Gracie made.
“Pass your compliment directly, Garry.”Gracie rolled her eyes with a smile.
“And that’s not a compliment mom.”he replied.
“No, I think it is. You’re just being egoistic to admit that my baking is good.”
“Actually, I think it’s nice. Really nice. I’ve had a lot of doughnuts but… this taste is out of ordinary.”Annie commended.
“Oh, thank you, Ann. You’re really truly the one that love and encourage me most in this house, unlike my sons… those assholes!”
“What?, mom!. I’m right here in front of you!”Garry shouted.
“And here too!. That isn’t a nice statement to behold.”Larry voice sounded.
They all looked up to see him standing on the stairs.
“And is that a good morning, son?”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Good morning, sweet mom. Now, just when are you going to your husband’s house.”
“Yes, when are you going back, mom?. You’re really staying too long in this house.”Garry also said.
Gracie gasped and held her chest dramatically and glanced at Annie.
“Did you see?, they’re sending me out of the mansion?. Did you really see?”
Annie pressed her lips together and nodded.
“Now, isn’t that bad?”Gracie asked.
“Actually, I also think it’s bad.”
“Isn’t that crazy?”
“So crazy, I also think so.”
“Okay, Garry. Isn’t both of the women amazing?”
“They sure are. Amazing.”
“Now, aren’t they both surprising?..”
“Surprising….”
Annie stifled a laugh and the rest seem to carry on along with her as they all gave a mighty – hearty laughter that echoed through the whole room.
“… and that was fun.”Gracie when she finally controlled her laughter.
“Yeah. The men won.”Larry said, stepping down the stairs.
He came into the dinning room and went to Annie to kiss her but she pushed him away slightly.
“Go away. You nearly got us killed yesterday.”she scoffed, picking up another doughnut from the plate.
“But we aren’t dead. So, we should be up and grateful.”Larry replied.
Up and grateful?
Annie almost smile but she kept herself in check.
“Afterall, I remembered moving the car to the roadside. And fuck Sam, I wondered what he put inside the drink but just a little while before I go over to the hospital to thrash him up.”
“All that, but we almost died!”
“And we’re still alive, lovely. So, come on, give me that kiss.”he said leaning closer to her again.
She allowed him to get close enough before grabbing the fork and hitting his head with it.
“Ouch!”he winced.
“Does it hurt?”she smirks.
“So much”
“Deal with it.”
“Alright, I’ve been such a gentleman to have tried kissing you gently but you don’t seem to want the gentle me, so, sorry, pink face, I will have to do this forcefully now.”he said and forcefully kissed her.
“Ow!, that’s an eyesore!”Garry yelled.
Gracie was grinning from ear to ear.
“Well, deal with it, pumpkin.”

~A month later~
“So, you have a lunch date with Mr Rodriguez, and also, a dinner date with must Shawn…”
“Miss Shawn?”Boyd scoffed.
“Yes, she…”
“Cancel it”
“I’m sorry but I can’t, she said she has been turned down now for quite a number of times and if you happen to turn this date down again, she’s seriously withdrawing her investment from the company..”
“Alright, what exactly do that girl wants from me?”Boyd scoffed.
“Should I ask her?”Annie stupidly asked.
Boyd scoffed and walked further away to the front.
Annie sighed.
He has really changed ever since that date the other night.
What could be up with him, anyways?.
She shrugged and ran after him.
