Gracie's Point of view….
I was seated inside Lucy's new Land Rover sports car. I could tell you the car is a machine. I have seen a few cars in my life because I was brought up in the woods. So I can't say much about cars.
I felt the seat and smiled broadly.
"Your new car is beautiful"
I said cheerfully
"Thanks sweetie."
Lucy said and draw something from her side and crossed over her body and put it inside something that looks like a hole or something, I don't know what it is.
"Gracie's, put on yours"
Lucy said and I looked at her confused. I didn't quite get her. What does she mean I should put on mine?
She sighed and rested her head on the starring, well I know that it's called starring because she once said the word.
"Sometimes I don't understand you at all. This minute you are this and next minute, you will switch to what I don't know. Why do you behave like she grew up in the bush?"
She said, trying not to sound offensive.
I smiled at her.
"It's because where I grew up is in the bush"
I answered her questions and she broke out laughing.
"You are funny, even if you grew up in the outskirts of the town, you are supposed to know everything."
"Put on your seatbelt"
She said and touched the seatbelt indicating what she meant by seatbelt. It was the thing she drew across her. I formed my mouth in like O and followed how she did hers and put it.
Lucy smiled and drove out of her parking lot. Don't ask me how I know some of these names, I went to school in town. I know the basics.
I felt my forehead burning and I touched it. My hands came in contact with sweat. My skin was hot which is unusual. I think Lucy noticed my discomfort and she put on something because the inside of the car became cooler.
I felt okay a little bit and relaxed.
"What kind of dress are we looking for? Something sexy and hot?"
Lucy asked but I was far from understanding what she was saying because my throat was drying up and itchy at the same time.
"Can I get some water"
I muttered and she handed a can of water to me. I hurriedly opened the cap and let the whole water into my throat. That was how bad I wanted the water.
I felt better again.
"Are you okay now?"
She asked me.
"Yes I am, I don't know why my body was heating up and that's why my body needed water badly but I am okay now."
She nodded her head and sighed.
"You keep scaring me every time. I think I will just have tons of canned water to be stocked here because you are fond of being dehydrated each time you are in my car."
She said and returned her focus on the road.
"So back to what I was saying about the type of dress you want."
"Lucy, I don't like fancy dresses. Just something that will make me fit in"
I replied and we went silent. I was really getting uncomfortable and I can't tell the reason.
When I thought the heat had subsided it came back in full charge.
I buttoned down my dress to allow air into my body easily. Maybe my dress is a bit stuffy. I can't explain why I am this hot.
But slowly and gradually I lost consciousness.
Lucy's point of view….
I did not get to hear anything from Gracie after some time so I turned to see why she was quiet and found her in an awkward position.
"Gracie"
I called her but got no reply from her.
I shook her yet she did not respond. I packed the car and shook her again while calling her name. Her body were so hot and I began to get worried. She was unconscious but her breath was stable.
My mind had not really been where she was because after she had requested for water, I had put all my attention on the road. I guess that's why I don't know when she blacked out but why would she suddenly black out ? Is she suffering from any sickness?
I had no one to answer that question for me and since I don't know what to do, the only option I had was to take her to the hospital and to my relief, there is a hospital nearby.
I made her comfortable on her seat and put the car rolling and off I went.
