"I hate you."
Claire mumbled for the thousandth ti, giving and Eva death glares as she angrily chomped down on a sliced cucumber.
Seeing as we didn’t reply, Claire got angrier.
"Both! I hate you both! Even you, Aaron! You hear !?"
Still not getting any reply, she tossed her half eaten cucumber at .
And even though I saw it coming, it was still very hard to dodge the speedy projectile as I leaned back on the couch, narrowly avoiding the cucumber slice.
"Mm~ I didn’t know that the new cheese burst pizza would be so good~" Eva who was sitting in front of on the couch, squird in pleasure as she savoured the taste of pizza.
She was thoroughly ignoring Claire’s protests, smiling widely every ti Claire complained.
"It’s good indeed." I nodded back, looking at Claire from the side-eye as she turned her head towards , glaring.
"Fuck you both. And Aaron, just you wait. Let get fixed up, I will show you your place." Claire harrumphed for the last ti, before sighing dramatically and picking a small spoonful of white rice.
"I wIlL ShOw YoU yOuR pLaCe," Eva mimicked looking at , as if she was the one threatening .
"So annoying." Sighing, Claire gave up on the protests as she began eating the hospital food, washing it down with the flavoured milk.
For so monts, no one spoke, as the atmosphere automatically dipped down.
The lively and playful energy reduced as the only sounds were of eating.
A pizza for breakfast was probably not the best choice, but with the high vitality that raiders enjoyed, digesting even expired bread is no problem.
And while mine has a huge scope of improvent, it was no big deal.
"When are Jaq, Katie and Lia coming?" Claire asked calmly, finally breaking the awkward silence.
"Mmm," Eva chewed on the crazy cheese pull, "I twalked to Kazie earlier, she swaid tirty minutes."
"Jaq?"
"They’re together," Eva licked her lips, finally finishing her slice properly before picking up another.
"What are your plans?" Feeling left out, I joined the conversation, alternatively looking at both Eva and Claire.
"Not sure." Eva mumbled.
"What plans? I am hospitalized, though they said I can get discharged by the afternoon." Claire blinked at.
"Right, should I drop you ho?" Eva licked her fingers to clean them off, before glancing at and realizing that it was bad habits.
So she quickly picked up a tissue paper and began to wipe off her fingers casually, as if nothing happened.
"How will you drop ? I brought my car. You’re gonna drive two at once?" Claire chuckled in response.
"Oh yea? Then what will you do? Drive in crutches?"
"Not a bad idea." Claire nodded, contemplating it.
Eva scoffed, not offering any retort.
A chance!
"I can drive." I added with confidence, smiling at Claire.
Claire, not expecting it, paused with the spoon in front of her mouth.
Eva paused too, cheese stretching between her pearly teeth and the half eaten slice.
They both were looking at just like how I would look at a girl who offered to drive.
With cold apprehension.
There was not an ounce of trust in their eyes, as Claire looked like she would rather drive in crutches than give the car to .
Tsk, I miss my Nancy. At least she agreed to let drive.
Though she ended up passing out before I could redeem that offer.
"I think Jaq lives near our ho, she can drive us ho, it’s alright babe." Claire forced a smile.
"Or I can just drop you guys and book a taxi back to the hospital, so I can take my car to my own ho." Eva added coolly.
"Yep, that works. There’s Katie too!" Claire nodded firmly.
"How can I forget Katie!"
I could only stare at them both with twitching eyelids, as they continued their shaless interaction.
They kept ntioning other ideas without even giving a thought about letting drive.
Fuck, they even reached the point that they were ready to hire a driver to take and Claire ho.
"Fine! I am not driving. For fuck’s sake." Cursing in frustration, I could only drop the thought about getting my hands on a car.
My aweso driving skills need to wait, yet again.
And hearing my curse, Eva and Claire breathed a sigh of relief, switching the topic to more lighthearted ones as the ti passed by easily.
Just like that, 45 minutes passed by and 3 beautiful, gorgeous girls entered the room once again.
"How’re you feeling Clay?" Lia asked gently, the calm and matured lady, whose na– or maybe the nickna, I had finally found out.
Katie, no longer looking depressed, was dressed in a short skirt as if the cold had nothing on her.
"So I asked the docs, you can be discharged in a bit." she smiled.
And finally, the little nace.
Jaq, or whose full na I rember to be Jaqueline, was wearing a simple violet skintight suit, which seed to match her purple highlights perfectly.
Her eyes glead with mischief as she smirked looking at Claire, before grinning at .
"What did you guys do last night, hmm?" she teased.
"They did nothing, don’t start this so early in the morning Jaq." Lia slapped Jaq’s lower back, scolding like a gentle yet stern mother.
"How do you know???" Jaq cried pitifully, holding her lower back in pain.
"I just do." Lia swiftly ended her little interaction with Jaq, before turning to Claire with a stern gaze.
"Clay, so fuck happened." she said.
I felt the room’s temperature drop as all the won in the room straightened their backs, dropping the mischief at once.
Even Jaq beca serious when Lia ntioned the serious topic.
Only Claire seed to be confused, alongside who had zero clue what I was doing here in the first place.
These gals talk so much but most of the ti it goes above my head.
Guilds, tars, tiers, governnt, and what not.
Yet, I focused on the words despite the lack of understanding.
After all, knowledge is power.
"What happened?" Claire frowned, not liking their serious and stern faces.
"Sanguini intervened with our mission..."
