Closing her eyes as the groan escapes her lips, Vince blows on the cut, "I know it is paining you."
Seeing the tears trickles down her face, when she said, "And you could not take me to a doctor or find some help?"
"Yeah, I must find some help now that you have regained consciousness," but Sidney sees when he put her aside from him and tried to stand up he almost fell.
Angry with herself for not thinking if he got hurt, "Vince, what is wrong, sit down, sit down, Vince are you hearing me? Vince speaks to me."
Hearing her cry out, automatically he sits down and gently strokes her hair, "Lie next to me, we will be fine, my head is spinning I will feel better in a few minutes."
"What's wrong?"
"I just need to lie still for a few minutes so don't worry."
Opening his eyes feeling her body trembling next to his, and her forehead was a bit hot. The place was pitch dark and he cannot leave her alone.
Reaching for his jersey he then pulls her in his arms and covers her with the jersey. "We will be okay, I promise you."
Hearing her saying silently, "I am so scared."
"I know, but we will be alright, close your eyes and try to rest."
"Vince, I am sorry this is entirely my fault."
"No, it is not, so stop blaming yourself."
Hearing her repeating, "The Our Father prayer," then she started to cry saying, "Lord Jesus, I am so sorry for pretending I was fainting. Please, Lord, forgive me, if I was honest maybe I would be safe at home. Lord, cover us with Your blood so no harm will come to us. And please Lord, send help, I am so scared and don't let any wild animals come this way? Lord You know I am afraid of snakes and crawling creatures."
Wiping his face, knowing this was all his fault, pretending you were fainting or not my only gold was to have you with me. How could I be so selfish now you are hurt and scared. 'If I tell her I had this all plan for her to go with me then she would say I know, but I never thought we will end up like this. Lord, I am so sorry for tricking her to come with me, please forgive me."
Vince felt her face soak against his chest, stroking her gently then lying down pulling her close in his arm, allowing his hand to be her pillow.
Kissing her hair, saying, "If only I knew this was going to happen, I never would have left the house today."
Feeling her turn to face him resting her face on his chest, "You had ruined my plan today, I was going to visit my friends, to get them interested in this investment."
"But why, suppose this is a bogus investment?"
"I am still not sure but just in case it is not, I wanted to have everything in place, you see I went to their head office and check it out myself. I have a statement showing that I was sent fifty thousand and fifty has been added to my account, so the investment of fifty thousand that I invested, is now a hundred thousand, this contract is for every two years according to what the person said.
Vince listen to her speaking wondering when did she visit their main office, When we only met Mr Francoir Monday. Tuesday she went and deposited the cheque I'm sure after lunch she didn't went to the main office?
Hearing her saying, "Vince, seeing I am from the first batch to invest, I get fifty thousand but those who are joining now will only get thirty, and thirty will be added to their account."
"When did you get all this information?" Hearing him ask so softly almost in a whisper. She didn't answer him but he felt good when she cuddles up closer to him.
"Yesterday, and today I was going to meet my friends to try and convince them to join and I must find a way to convince Mr François to give me a cut."
"You are a bit too smart for me, do you know that?"
"You keep saying that but we don't know each other."
Feeling her hand stroking his chest, holding it, "Try not to do that please."
"Sorry, I am very nervous." Liking the way she was clinging on to him even how her body has aroused his but he didn't want her to feel he is taking advantage of her.
"I understand, but if you continue so, I won't be held responsible for what may happen?"
"Sorry, sorry," With her hand resting over his stomach, she finally settle down and we slept.
Awaking to her sneezing and groaning, the place was still dark but her constant sneezing and her skin feels cold all over except her head which was roasting up.
Rubbing her hand to get some warmth, feeling the breeze blowing cold, "Oh God, what can I do to help give warmth to her body?"
Hugging her was not sufficient, taking out the shirt knowing the jersey was not helping much, then using it as a covering to keep her warm, seeing her fold up like a ball and her body was trembling.
Hearing when his watch beeps four times. "Oh Lord, it's four-o-clock already, so we will be out of here next few hours, just hold on please honey."
But her groaning was becoming louder, removing her hair away from her face, passing his hand to warm her face, but the cut was bleeding and her face was swollen, angry with himself for using this out of the way road.
'Now we are stranded because of my selfishness. I am so sorry, if only I had used the highway, this would never have happened, but I so wanted to spend this time with you. I had strategized it so carefully, all the cards were in place, just as I hoped GP would suggest, it work so perfect.
