Love is the Sunshine

"Carla, I'm not feeling very well. Can you catch up later, after we come back?"

Terence leaned in close to her ear and whispered with a smile, blowing hot breath into her face. His eyes were gleaming when he looked at Jena and nodded politely to her.

"I am sorry, but Carla and I have something urgent to do. We have to go now."

After he said that, Terence snaked his arm around her waist. Carla was taken by surprise. She twisted in protest and struggled in his arms as he forcefully led her towards the direction of the gate of the housing estate.

Most middle aged housewives like Jena were keen on gossiping and if Carla continued with the conversation, it wouldn't have ended for quite a while.

He didn't have the patience to wait anymore.

"Why did you do that?"

"What did I do? I didn't say that I was your boyfriend."

"But if I don't explain it all to her, Jena might think that you and I are…"

"Does it really matter that much, what other people think? It will do, as long as you and I know whether we are or not."

"No, it will not do. Jena is a terrible gossip. You just wait and see. Before tomorrow morning, everyone in this neighborhood will know that I brought a man back to stay with me overnight."

Carla and Terence continued bickering, even after they had left Jena. Neither of them was willing to make a compromise.

Terence raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Carla. She sounded like she was so eager to deny any romantic connection between the two of them. 'Would it be all that bad to have me as a boyfriend?'

After they got out of the hospital.

Carla sorted through all of the bills and handed them to Terence, who was following behind her.

She was unfortunate enough to have met him yesterday and to add insult to injury, Karen called her when she was at the hospital with him, cussing and yelling at her.

But thanks to her quick wit, she said that she had a minor accident and was still in the hospital and thus managed to muddle through the blame.

"Since we have come out of the hospital, we'd best say goodbye here. These are the bills I paid for you. So, I suppose we can find a bank now and you can withdraw the money and pay me back?"
