Chapter 58 Will you marry me?
“Hmmmmmmm….”Annie’s hand was clamped on her mouth.
“Good girl. I’ll come check on you later.”he said and went out with his boys.
….
“I already informed the cops. They will be here any moment from now”Garry announced.
“Do you think that’s a good idea?”Larry asked.
“Of course. With them around, it would help alot.”
Few moments later, a loud siren sounded.
“And, they are here. Come on, guys.”Garry nudged his head, taking the lead.
Boyd and Larry followed him.
Skyler also stood up and glanced at Rose.
“We would be back soon..”
“And I stay here alone?, nay. Besides, I should go too, don’t you think?”she said, stood and stepped out alongside the others.
They bumped into a cop on their way out.
“Oh. We received a call of emergency. Was it here?”the cop asked.
“Yes. Thanks for coming”Garry replied.
“You said you already tracked the person down.”
“Yes”Boyd gave a nod.
“And that would just be easier”the cop said.
“Alright, so, who is going with us?”cop asked.
“All of us.”they chorused.
“Huh?, all…. all of you?.”the cop asked.
They nodded.
He gave a nervous smile as he turned to their car.
“But, the car won’t….”
“No worries, cop. We will go with our car.”Larry chimed in. He was just so impatient.
“And I would go with you guys in your car so I will direct you to the place”Boyd informed.
“Alright, alright”the cop nodded.
Boyd sat in the front seat with the cop driver while the rest went occupied Larry’s car.
Garry was the one behind the wheels.
The cop drove away and Larry’s car followed them.
…..
Annie got down from the bed. She has been crying for quite a while now and she feels whining and shedding tears won’t solve the problem so, she have to be on her feet and try finding a way out.
As she got to the door, it suddenly flung opened and a man stepped inside.
His brows rose up and he frowned.
He was holding a tray.
“Where are you going?”
“Me?, oh… me?.. I… I…”she stuttered. Her eyes traveled to the tray in his hand and she smiled nervously.
“Yes. Your food”
“O… okay. I bet that would be damn delicious. Here, bring it.”
And he gave it to her, tho, suspiciously.
She’s acting jittery.
He turned to walk away but she stopped him.
“Hey….”she called him.
He halted in his steps and slowly turned to look at her.
“Do you want anything?”
Annie blinked and nodded.
She dropped the tray on the bed and started walking to him, making sure the steps of hers taken were slow.
You use what you have to get what you need.
Now, she’s gonna do just that.
When she got to where he was standing, she sent her hands flying around his neck and blinked cutely.
“What about your boss?”
The punk looked lost already as he stared at her face and examined her perfect features.
“He… he left, a while ago”he replies, in daze.
“Oh, really?”she placed her left hand on his chest and rubbed it slowly.
“So… how many men are not there?”
“Just four, including me. Most of them left with the boss.”he stupidly revealed.
“Good. Where are they?”
“Probably in the other room. Drinking..”
Annie’s face beamed.
“Alright. Go in there and have a shower then come back and let’s have a little fun. Does that sounds good?”
The guy nodded and quickly went inside the bathroom.
Alright, that went smooth.
Seriously?
Smoother than expected but then, it’s her gain.
She bolted out of the room and outside.
Whoo!.
This is great!
Fuckin great!
She ran out to the outside and found out she was in a quiet environment.
This is bad.
It would be damn hard to find peoples to help her…
“Hey!. Get her!!!!!!”someone yelled from inside and her heart leapt.
She took to her heels immediately and almost got knocked down by a car.
Wait….
Not just a car…
A police car!!!
The police rushed down with …. Boyd!!!!!
Her face brightened.
“Boyd!!!!”she shouted.
He ran to where he was and hugged him, taking him off guard.
The men that were chasing got to the direction they were and paused immediately they spotted the police.
If it were be they turned on the siren, they would have heard it and long escape so as not to be caught.
They ran back and the police ran after them.
Larry and the others got down from the car and ran to where Annie was.
“Annie!!!’he called, happily.
She turned to where the voice came from and sniffed.
He went to her to give her a warm embrace.
“Larry …”she called.
“Don’t worry, pinkie, you’re safe..”he cooed as he played with her hair with his finger.
Yes, she’s safe.
….

“How are you feeling now?”Larry asked, stroking her hair.
“Mama mercy!. Larry, there’s nothing wrong with me. You just kept me here in the hospital for a little thing.”
“I don’t think so.” Boyd was also there.
Annie rolled her eyes.
It’s been a week already after the incident.
And, she has been spending the days in the hospital.
Larry can be so overreacting sometimes.
And well, he had Boyd backing him up.
Those two have become so close now and she likes that.
Garry went to Larry’s hotel to take care of things in place of Larry since he’s so busy ‘taking care of me’ as he always says.
The door opened and Rose walked in with a food flask.
“Hi”
“Hiiiiiiii….”I smiled back.
She came to me and kissed my forehead.
“So, I brought you breakfast..”
“Awn, as usual. You’re blessed, girl. I love you.”
“And I will always love you”Rose replied.
Larry cleared his throat.
“We are here, miss.”Boyd said.
“And a little greeting would have been good.”Larry added.
“Well.. I didn’t see you there, so, sorry..”she smiled and turned to Annie and took her hand.
“Lots of gist, Annie”
Annie quickly sat up, happily.
“I love gists. Get it on..”
And they started to gist, ignoring the men.
Larry rolled his eyes and stood up with Boyd and they walked out.
They went to Larry’s office.
“You like her, don’t you?”Larry suddenly asked after they both settled down on the chairs.
“Who, Annie?”Boyd asked and Larry nodded.
He paused and adjusted himself on the chair.
“If I say yes, would that get you annoyed?”
Larry didn’t say anything.
…..”yes”Boyd said after some minutes.
Larry breath hitched.
….”but as a friend of course”he added.
Larry smiled a little.
“So, I’m sorry for acting as a prick in the past.”
“Yeah, right?. But, then, I’m curious. Why did you did that back then?. To her?, that night we both went on a date. Back in the hotel.”
Larry looked at him.
“How…. how…”
“I told her I was gonna find the one that hurt her and make him pay and well, I found that it’s you…”
“And why didn’t you make me pay?”
“Because… because she obviously loves you..”
“But, why did you do that?”Boyd asked again.
“Because I was a prick back then.”
Boyd nodded.
…
After Rose left, a nurse walked inside Annie’s ward.
“You’re really lucky, ma’am. Having two cute guys to yourself. Woa, I’m jealous”
“FYI, Boyd is my boss and Larry is my boyfriend.”
“But, you’re still lucky..”the nurse insisted as she came to examine her forehead.
“Come on, Olivia. You think I don’t know the way both you and Boyd are flirting?. Spare me that.”
“But we aren’t flirting”
“Maybe he’s the one flirting with you then. He likes you.”
And Olivia blushed.
…..
*Months later.
…..
“What!, is something wrong?. Are you okay Larry??”Annie asked over the phone, grabbing the car keys.
She bolted out to the lots.
“Just.. just get here soon, Annie. Please…”Larry mumbled at the other end.
Annie’s heart was beating fast as she wondered what might be wrong.
She got inside the car and slammed the door shut.
She started the car and drove out speedily.
“Alright, Larry, telling me what really happened would help…”she said into the phone.
“Just come here soon….”and he hang up.
She hits the road and drove to where he said he was with high speed.
When she got there, she rushed down.
Strangely, she found the other girls…. Rose, Nancy, Olivia there also.
They were all rushing inside at once.
When they got inside the building.
The light went off and a a project screen appeared with love messages.
They all stood on the spot.
What’s happening?
Soon, a dim light came on and then….
They saw the guys on their knees and holding out a ring box.
“Will you marry me?”
