Dangerous Liaison

"Yvonne, come to my house tonight."

He took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around me. He then carried me out of the hospital bed.

I peeped over Ian's broad shoulders and saw that his brother, Dwayne, was still standing there in a daze.

He looked down at the scattered fruits all over the ground, and his eyes darkened.

"Oh no, things are going to turn bad."

I quickly replied, "Yes, why don't you carry your brother instead..."

That didn't sound right.

"Uh, no, why don't you put me down? Your brother is still here. This is a bit embarrassing."

"No, I'll take you to the car."

Ian insisted stubbornly.

I had no choice but to compromise for now.

"Ian, why don't you go and settle Yvonne's discharge?" Dwayne asked. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at us helplessly. "I was in a hurry to come with you to visit her that I forgot to bring my mobile phone and wallet."

Ian glanced at me and put me down. He said gently, "Wait for me here. Be good."

I nodded.
