We're in trouble

Chapter eight

   We're in trouble.

Samuel went back to where he was coming from and came back with Hana on his back . She clung to him like a huge koala bear putting her arms around his neck and sleeping so peacefully.

" Let's take you home "Samuel suggested and Gabriel nodded his head in agreement 

Micheal frown and drew his eyebrows together . He pinched his forehead in frustration and said " why do we have to carry them home ??? We only brought one car , remember? "

" Well they aren't in a position to board a cab. How do you want them to carry their friend , huh? " Samuel retorted back

" Let's help them, Mike . They need it. " Gabriel said and patted his brother's shoulder 

Micheal grunted and walked angrily away .

" Thank you for your help. But we wouldn't want to be a bother. " Emily said and attempted to carry Hana from Samuel's back but she just wouldn't agree. 

She refuse to remove her arms around his neck. 

Mera sighed anxiously. They have to get going!! It's late already.

" We'll take you home. I'll see to it." Samuel assured them and led them to the car .

They met Micheal inside the car. He was already seated behind the wheel and look impatient.

" Get in. Or do you plan to walk ??? "

Impatient and impossible to deal with.

Emily was almost biting her tongue off to stop herself from retorting back at him . That drat !! 

They got to their house and Micheal refused to get out of the car , claiming that he doesn't want to step his precious foot in their home .

Emily's eyes met his and she instantly felt shivers running down her spine at the  cold stare that he directed at her  . The look in his eyes promised punishment for her . Punishment for inconveniencing him , she was sure.

Oh well, let him do his worst ,she thought tiredly

Well since he's a demi God , that needs to be worshipped,of course he wouldn't be able to come inside their house , Emily thought sarcastically.

Even his brothers came in . Samuel was the one that carry Hana , because well...she wouldn't let anyone else.

He carried her all the way to her bed and she still refuse to let go .

After a few detangling process, they were finally able to get her to remove her arms from his neck which was replaced with a pillow . 

" Thank you for much for your help . We're in your debt " Mera bowed a little to Samuel.

" No problem. We should be on our way. Mike would be waiting. " Samuel replied and dragged Gabriel away with him 

They were close to the car when Gabriel spoke " that was funny " he laughed at the end. 

" Well I don't know what's funny . " Samuel replied and opened the car door

" Well you know " he said and burst into laughter again. 

Samuel simply shook his head at his brother's behavior. Trust Gabriel to find fun in everything. Even a man dying would be funny to him .

He glanced at Micheal who now had a lollipop in his mouth .

He sighed , something that he seems to be doing more in the presence of his brothers .

He was the only one close to sane among the three of them .

He sighed again as he remembered the original reason why they went to the club in the first place.

A serious girlfriend!!!! Finding that would be difficult for them. More difficult than them trying to cook.

                        **************** 

Hana woke up to her head throbbing so hard that it felt like her skull would shatter soon . Her head felt so heavy and her eyes were starting to water.

" What the f* ck happened yesterday?? " She hissed out and held  her head with her hand to support it because apparently she was carrying a house on her head .

She stood up and wobble back on the bed .

Great !! Great !! Her legs too were not working again. Coupled with the fact that her head was the heaviest now .

" Exhale,. Pheww. Inhale ..." She repeated the routine for a while and thankfully her headache lessened. 

Grabbing the cup on the night stand and chug the content down in a go . Then flashes of images appeared in her head.

Drinking.    Laughing.  Stuck in a dark space. Scorpion tattoo.

She tried to connect the dots together but her head keep pounding the more she tried the more her head hurt. 

She'll definitely asked Mera or Hana. Something had absolutely happened yesterday.

She went to the bathroom to freshen up. The cold shower calmed the pounding nerves on her head . 

She'll be needing some hangover cure . 

She went downstairs still holding her head .

Before she could even speak , Mera handed her a cup  of steaming ginger tea.

" You're the best " she said and sip the tea. 

They sat down and begin eating . Emily had turn on the music from the stereo and ' life goes on' by BTS was.playing in the background. 

It was no news that they love those seven guys from Korea. Apart from the fact that their music has been a great source of inspiration to them .

Those guys are so handsome.

" Are you guys going to tell me what happened  the club yesterday??  " Hana asked breaking the silence 

" You don't remember?? " Emily screeched in disbelief

" I just  said  so  right now. Didn't I ?? " Hana rolled her eyes

" We'll tell you when you're back from work . " Mera said amused .

What's funny?? Hana wondered 

They finished eating and boarded a cab . Emily checked her phone and sighed 

" It's going to rain today . "She said and showed them her phone 

" I just hope we'll be at work when it's raining" Mera said

The car slowed down, bumped up a few times and finally screeched to a stop .

" What's happening?? " Hana questioned the driver  

" I'll have a look . I'm coming " he went out of the car and came in a few minutes later .

" Miss , you better get out so you won't be late. Something's wrong with it. I'll have to call the trolling car " The driver informed them.

Emily stared at the others worriedly.  She gave  them the ' what should we do?? ' stare and they shook their heads .

They got out of the car and by now the sky was getting more and more cloudy . 

" I thought it's supposed to rain by noon ?? " Hana asked as the skies were becoming increasingly dark and gloomy.

" Well so did I . " Mera chimed in

" I hope we'll find another taxi soon. " Emily replied and flagged down another taxi that sped off without stopping at all .

The pitter patter of rain got them scurrying off to find a shelter .  Which they had little luck of doing because there's no space that they could take shelter in . 

They stood rooted unable to move as the heavy downpour of rain fell on them and totally drenching them from head to toe . 

Emily shuddered. Not from the cold but from the thought of what her bratty boss would do and say when she came to work late. There's no telling that he wouldn't take her situation as an opportunity to punish her for the trouble she made him go through yesterday.

Even though his brother did most of the work , while he just kept frowning and grunting till they got to their house .

How interesting would it be if he was the one in the rain right now ?? Getting hot by the intensity of the stroke of the rain ?? 

She smiled at the image of her almighty boss in the rain. With his ever so smooth hair in utter disarray and his tailored suit wet like a puppy? It would be hilarious.

The wind blew and their teeth chattered against each other in the cold . The rain had been unexpected else they would have come prepared. 

After a few pounding stroke , they rain finally stopped but the wind took over and was blowing so hard that they feared they would be carried away .

But thankfully they weren't. And they chilling wind was a bit helpful in drying their drenched clothes and hairs.

They got to the office looking like a wet cat and shivering. The stares directed at them was the least of their concerns right now as they all went to their different department. 

 ' What ever happens I'll be sure to always keep a rain coat in my bag ' Hana took a mental note as she rubbed her hands on her arms and goosebumps filled her skin 

" What in the hell happened to you?? " Lora asked when she saw her state of dishabile . 

" I'm sure a bit of hell would be useful in warming me up right now!. " Hana told her as her teeth chattered again.

" Lemme get you something. " She brought up her bag and begin digging into it. 

Hana marveled at her bag and it's content.

Tampons. Tissues. Lipstick. Lipgloss. Powder .  Socks . Scarfs. Another pair of socks. Panties.

Finally . A shirt that looks kinda new and some pants. 

" Here take this . "Lora said handing her the shirt and pants. 

" Do you always carry all this stuff with you ?? "Hana asked as she collected the clothes .

" Duh. !! " She rolled her eyes and laugh 

" Thank you Lora . I'll probably should buy you a Lamborghini " she said as her eyes tingled 

" You should get yourself a hot cup of coffee. And I think Ferrari should be better . Yes I'll prefer Ferrari" she replied seriously making Hana burst into laughter and she joined in too.

Lora shooed her away to the restroom.

Hana put on the clothes given to her which seems to be a little bigger than her but she'll manage.

She looked around to see if there's anything she could tie the waist of the pants with . As they were sliding off her waist to her legs .

After minutes of futile search , she gave up and ended up tieing two knots in the waist to keep it in place.

She got herself a steaming hot cup of coffee as per lora's advice and was sipping it on her way back to the reception where she works.  When she collided into something or rather someone that resulted in the hot coffee spilling over to the' someone' and a little bit scalded her hand . 

She dropped the cup and it's broke into many pieces.

She looked up to see the ' someone' that she had collided with and her mouth opened agape.

She found herself staring into the most gorgeous silvery grey orbs ever .

She was so captivated by the beauty of the pupils, that she didn't even notice that the man was examining her hands .

The burning sensation returned and she quickly snatched her hand away and yepped a little.

She once again look up , as the man was taller than her and saw coffee stain on his perfectly tailored suit and gasped.

What had she done?? 

" I'm ....I'm ... So sorry sir . ....I .. didn't mean it" she bowed her head profusely

" Are you hurt ?? "He asked in a masculine and velvety voice with a tinge of concern.

Huh? Concern. 

" No sir ... I'm ..not . But you are " she pointed to the large stain on his suit .

" It's nothing . Your palm is scalded by the hot coffee. " He spoke again in his dreamy voice and Hana almost close her eyes and sigh.

She took her the tissue in her pocket and moved closer to the man. She rubbed the tissue to the spot of the stain . His hard muscles ripping inside. She sneakily traced her fingers on the toned muscles of his chest . She had totally lost herself and forgotten about her own burn as she gently traced his chest . 

Abandoning the tissue .

Then a sweet chuckle sounded next to her and she quickly retrieved her hand. Her ears and face burned hotly .

" What are you doing?? "He asked , with mirth and amusement dancing in his eyes .

Oh god !! The sound of the chuckle was the sweetest that she had ever heard . She wished she could just record it ,so that she would be able to listen to it whenever she was feeling sad.

She remembered the question that she was asked and almost facepalm herself

" I ...uhh....was trying to ..clean your clothes" she stuttered. 

Gosh . She was totally making a fool out of herself.

" Oh I see. " He said and smiled 

She lowered her head in embarrassment.

" You should get your hand treated . " He said staring into her eyes. 

Hana watched him walking away in his majestic gait and confident aura.

Then she saw something.

The scorpion tattoo!! Peeking out of his collar .

She had saw that somewhere. But where?? 

                       **************

Samuel smiled to himself as he purposely walked away slowly and carefully as he could still feel her eyes on his back .

He could certainly see why she was drugged yesterday.

She's one clumsy lot .

He shook his head in amusement and chuckled as he chose the stairs and walked to his brother's office .
