Chapter 144

 Love you so much”

“Can you trust me?” she asked with exasperation, he was silence for some time pondering on why she asked him such a question suddenly.

He nodded in affirmation.

“I want to hear you say it” she insisted.

“I trust, Arial” he answered truthfully.

She beamed and leaned forward for a kiss, she captured his lips, her thin soft lips made him want more, he deepened the kiss, and it became fierce leaving them breathless the movement they broke the kiss.

He turned to her “I love you, Arial, promise you will never betray me” he said, holding on to the wheel.

She nodded, “I will never betray you” she promised.

Jack watched Sam drink more and more helplessly, Lucy had an urgent call that seek her presence at home, so, she had to leave their little gathering of celebration.

Jack grabbed his arm, that he want to drink another glass of liquor, “stop, Sam, you will get drunk” he protested, trying to stop him from drinking.

Sam shrugged Jack off from his body and trotted forward with wobbling legs, he stood unsteadily before her.

“Hey, why are you kneeling before this kid, I know you are older than her, get up, get up!” he said and tried to help the man up.

Just then two burly men emerged from the dark, and moved forward, Jack stood still, fearing the worst for his friend.

Jack quickly got on his knees “Please, don't hold it against him, he is very drunk, please, let us go, I promise he will come beg you when he is sober” Jack pleaded in earnest.

Sam smacked his forehead.

He became flustered, seeing the two people kneeling before the girl about his age.
