Chapter 16 - Date Nights Part 5- A Bite of Trouble

Dipping into the water I saw a snake the size of my hand wrapped around her leg making its way up. After seeing the snake I went back up

"Okay, Betty-Ann, don't freak out. There's a snake on your leg. I'm going to go down and see if I can get it off. Don't move," I said before she nodded, then I smiled as I dived down and grabbed unto the snake

'I hope this thing isn't venomous' I thought before yanking it off her leg and rushing to the surface, struggling to get a grip as it wiggled in my hand before I felt its fang go into my right hand. But luckily, I finally got a good grip so I threw it as far as I could. Not even waiting a second after to start swimming back to shore, but soon I found my head getting lighter. I was dizzy and my eyes were blurry. I'm not sure what happened, but everything went dark just before I reached the shore. In the darkness, I heard a woman's voice calling out my name

"James," I heard the voice say before feeling something soft on my lips, then a force pushing on my chest making in spit out the water in my lungs

Maybe it was because I had just gotten up, but for a moment I had thought I had seen Sophie but that image was quickly revealed to actually be Betty-Ann who let out a relieved sigh

"Betty-Ann?" I said after my coughing fit

"About time you woke up I was getting worried," she said

"Did you just give me mouth to mouth?" I asked, smiling as I touched my lips. I could still feel her lips as if they were on me right that moment

"Yeah," she said as I looked down to see that my hand was bandaged

"What happened to my hand?" I asked

"The snake was poisonous, so I had to suck out the poison," she said

"Actually, I think you meant venomous"

"Huh? Aren't those the same?"

"Actually, though often confused as the same thing. It's actually different, you see venomous means" I said

"James, is this really the best time to explain?"

"Yeah... maybe I'll tell you another time," I said before noticing the kit beside her

"I see you found my first aid kit," I said

"Yeah," she said

"Well, a thank you is in order, but I think we should head home first," I said before I got up then we went back in the car

"You're gonna have to be the one to drive. I still can't move that much," I said. Wow, the venom in that snake is really potent. I should try collecting a sample. It spreads really fast

"Sure," she said before we got in the car. Midway to town, the car started making strange noises

"What is that?" she asked

"I don't know," I said before the car suddenly stopped

"Oh great," I said sarcastically

"I'm guessing that's bad," she said

"We might need to call someone" I sighed. I normally would be able to do this myself, but considering my current situation that was still impossible. Soon the repairman came taking a look at the engine

"This is probably the worst date you've ever been on, right?" I said, laying in Betty-Ann's lap in the backseat

"Let's see, I had to save my date's life twice. One from drowning, then from snake venom, which is a different type of kissing and sucking than I'm used to, and to top it all off, I probably got sand in places they really shouldn't be" she said

"So worst date ever?" I asked grimly

"Well, I also got to drink expensive champagne as well as stay on a beach by myself, and I've had worse, plus who knows, maybe next time we can fulfill a fantasy of mine," she said with a wink

"Next time? There's gonna be more dates"

"Not really dates, but date-like outings" she clarified

"I'm glad to hear that, but the fact that you had worse dates scares me," I said before she giggled giving me another kiss

"Hey lovebirds, the car's fix," he said tapping the window

"Thank you," I awkwardly laughed, paying him

"You should go back to the driver's seat," I said after one more kiss. She went back to the driver's seat directly after driving us straight back to town

"Thank you for the dinner. I had a great time," she said

"I did too," I said

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow James," she said before she walked away

"Is that really how we're gonna end tonight," I sighed

"I was planning on giving you a kiss but I think you've already exceeded the limit" she teased

"Come on, that's not fair" I chuckled as she walked away swinging her hips as she made her way to the door then she opened it walked inside. I sighed, looking at the door longing until it opened again and she blew me a kiss before winking and closing the door

"See you," I said, smiling like a buffoon before jumping in my car. Dancing in my seat during the drive back to my house
