Oh dear! Red just asked me to take her home. Does she consider me her boyfriend now? Come on, man! Has she fallen in love with me now, even though I only saved her life once? Oh god! When I arrive at her home, Iâm going to meet her parents. D*mn, this is happening way sooner than I thought.
What if her parents expect something extravagant from me, like a wedding that costs more than two hundred thousand? What am I going to do? Break up with her? Or work hard to save every penny? Ugh! What a headache!
âIs everything okay?â Red asked, wondering why Shane hadnât responded.
âOh⦠I-I donât mind, of course, but Iâm afraid Iâm not ready
âReady? Why do you have to be ready?â Red was puzzled because she didnât understand why Shane had to be ready to take her home.
âUm. Well, Iâm going to meet your parents, but I havenât bought anything for them, I canât visit them empty-handed, can I? Hahaâ¦â Shane scratched his head in embarrassment.
Nevertheless, Red looked down with a heartbroken expression on her face. âMy parents passed away a long time ago.â
âW-What?â It was then that Shane realized that he was worrying too much about things that would never even happen.
âMy dad was a miner who died in an accident 6 years ago. It broke my momâs heart and devastated her so much that she never recovered. Three years later, she also passed away.â
âOops! Iâm so sorry. Iâ¦â Shane apologized.
âItâs alright. Itâs all in the past anyway.â Red smiled, trying to shake off her heart-wrenching past, although her sympathetic looks might make her appear vulnerable.
âAlright, let me inform Manuel, and Iâll get you home.â
âSure, thanks!â
âDonât worry about it. Iâm more than happy to do that.â Shane then reached for his phone and called Emmanuel.
After receiving Terenceâs approval, Emmanuel sighed and said, âAlright, youâre free to go to wherever youâre heading, but can you move faster? Even a snail can outrun you.â
âIâm only holding back because I donât want you to lose me on the way. After all, they call me Anchortownâs speed demon.â Shane bragged but was suddenly stunned by something. It turned out that Red took out a piece of tissue paper and reached for his face.
Oh my god! Is she going to wipe my sweat for me? Aw, thatâs so kind of her! Well, guess what? Iâm Anchortownâs speed demon.
Nervous, Shane lost control of his vehicle as it swerved uncontrollably. Fortunately, he was able to regain control on the road in the end.
âWhat the hell are you doing?!â Emmanuel cursed. D*mn it! I told you to pick up the pace, but not like that, man! If I hadnât reacted quickly, I might have run you over.
âIâm so sorry. There was something on the corner of your lips, and I was going to wipe it for you.â Red apologized.
D*mn it! Shane was immediately embarrassed. I forgot to wipe my mouth after eating. Is she going to think Iâm unhygienic? Oh my god! Is she going to dislike me because of that? What should I do to change her mind then?
âKeep your eyes on the road, Shane! Look out!â Redâs voice sounded shocked.
!
It was then that Shane realized his vehicle had almost crashed into a huge rock by the side of the road, but thanks to his quick reaction once again, he was able to dodge it just in time. At the same time, Emmanuel, who was driving right behind him, nearly bumped into Shaneâs vehicle from the rear.
If it werenât for my driving skills, I would have been in an accident. Maybe itâs safer to keep a distance from Shaneâs car, even though he is traveling really slowly now.
âHaha! I wish I was like them in the old days!â Terence sat in the car, remaining calm, although they had nearly been in an accident. Older and wiser, he wasnât surprised by what happened as he understood why Shane was acting uncomfortably in front of his crush.
Eventually, they arrived at a small house in the slum around town.
âShane, thank you for driving me home. Why donât you come in and have a seat?â Red, politely invited Shane to be her guest.
Nevertheless, Shane was surprised once again when he heard Redâs invitation.
Oh my god! Is Red inviting me to stay over with her for the night? No, Iâm not like that! All Iâve been thinking about is taking her home safely, not taking advantage of her.
When Shane didnât respond, Red began to wonder what was wrong with him again, furrowing her eyebrows. Is he going crazy or something?
âDonât worry about him. He always acts like a weirdo around his crush.â
