WE CAN'T LEAVE EACH OTHER

SANTANA COLLEGE ARRIVAL

Why did you ignore the traffic light at the previous junction? The cop quizzed me.

"Excuse me, I didn't!" Jude refuted.

He began to engage in a back-and-forth with the cop. Immediately, the cop showed him video evidence proving him guilty.

"Wow! I'm sorry! It's a mistake," he said.

The cop informed him that he had broken the law; the necessary punishment must be upheld.

"It's either you follow me to the station or pay the €20 fine."

His parents hadn't sent him his pocket money. All he had was just €5. He begged the cop to accept his paltry sum. But the cop refused. Following the cop would totally end their plans to meet up for the exam. Jude swallowed his pride and asked for help.

"Ella, could you please sort out the fine?"

Grudgingly, she paid off the fine; they were allowed to continue their journey. Paying such a needless fine got her boiling. Therefore, she took out her vim on him.

"Stop speeding! If another fine arises, you'll sort it by yourself." She shouted.

His ego was bruised hearing her talking to him with such a loud voice. He challenged and warned Ella never to raise her voice at him.

"And what if I did?" She asked.

"Just try and see."

His response got her infuriated, and she elbowed him in his abdomen. Immediately, he stopped driving, pulled off her wig, and tossed it away. She couldn't believe her most expensive wig was thrown like a bag of trash! She grabbed his shirt and started hurling insults at him. He withstood everything said until she broke-shamed him. Her words were like a slug to his chest. In order to prevent being violent, he stormed out of the car. Knowing he was truly hurt, she ran after him to apologize.

"Please forgive me for calling you a broke fool."

He ignored her and continued walking until he spotted a shade. She caught up with him and kept on apologizing. Nothing she uttered moved him to even take a look at her. His white-colored eyes had turned red, his face looking as straight as ever. After her plea didn't change his mind, she went closer. Then stroked his beard. Knowing that quickly turned him on, he shifted her hands and stood up to leave. Before he stepped out of the shade, she held him by the waist. She pinned him to a wall, and they started kissing. The locking of lips was intense. Still kissing, they fondled each other's private part simultaneously.

"I hope my apology is now accepted?" She asked after their marathon kiss ended.

"Without a doubt! I wish we could do this all day long."

She was very horny as well. But refrained from engaging further as time ticked on. Swiftly, they headed towards the car. Ella picked up her wig, and their journey kick-started again. Half an hour into the first exam, he increased his speed once more.

"Why are you so stubborn? Don't you value our lives? Reduce your speed now." She commanded.

"Impossible! This is the only way to arrive on time. We'd be fine."

It was about to rain, and the weather became foggy. Jude continued driving speedily only to hit a ditch! No casualties occurred. But the impact ensured the front tires burst.

"My goodness! I warned, but you never listened. We almost lost our lives here."

"Wow! I thought everything was under my control. If not for the seat belts, we could have been dead!"

Jude was very upset about destroying the Good Samaritan's car. Worse still, he barely had the money required to fix it. Jude got out of the car and looked for the nearest auto repairer. After quite a walk, he found one. Swiftly, the replacement of the faulty tires commenced. In no time, the tires were replaced. When the auto-repairer asked for his money, Jude started stammering.

"Ehmmm... ehmmm... I'm in a hurry; drop your account details. I'd transfer the money when I get to my college."

The auto-repair man grabbed the car key and demanded payment before releasing the keys. To avoid being embarrassed by his girl, he refrained from asking her for a helping hand.

"Take this €5; when I get to my destination, I'll transfer the balance." He pleaded.

The auto-repairer didn't accept.

"That's what all of you say, but don't end up completing the payment." The auto-repairer said.

Their confrontation was getting messy. To avoid people gathering there, Ella, for the umpteenth time, paid the balance.

"Thank you. I don't know where I'd have been with you," he said.

Having had enough of his reckless driving, she decided to drive. But he rebuffed her.

"You just left the hospital. It's unsafe for you to drive."

"I don't want to die; hence, I must drive the remaining distance."

He refused to let her into the driver's seat. After forcing her way into the driving seat without any success, Ella surrendered. Then began to walk the rest of the journey.

"Don't tell me you want to trek to Santana College?"

"For sure. Since you wouldn't allow me to be in charge of the wheels."

He resisted her engaging in such a walk. The journey was still quite a distance. But her mind was seemingly made up. Grudgingly, he tossed the key at her and took a passenger's seat. At a very steady pace, she drove off to Santana College. Within a few minutes of the start of the exam, they arrived.

"Finally, we are here," Jude happily said.

"All thanks to me; else we probably would have gotten into more trouble."

Jude didn't like how she praised only herself. But there wasn't any time to reprimand her. Hurriedly, Jude approached the entrance gate. Checking on Ella, he turned back only to see her walking away.

Where are you going? He asked.
