Prompt
I went to the bank to pay a bill. The queue was small and in my state I had preference.Just one more person and it would be my time.
There was one guy sitting in a chair near the queue looking at me. Looking at my belly, I should say. He was cute though.
#
I'd been waiting for half an hour. The other guys could arrive any moment now. I just had to give the signal.
And then I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She tried to smile but there was something sad in her eyes. In one hand she had a piece of paper, probably a bill. And the other hand never left her belly, always rubbing it. Judging by the size, she was probably four months pregnant.
No. She can not be here when they arrive. She has to go away first. I will wait a little. We still have time.
Five more minutes and she solved whatever problem brought her to the bank. OK, now it's time to act. And I gave the signal.
#
I was it took me less than ten minutes in the queue to pay that bill. Now I had to go, back to my empty home.
I passed in front of the chairs and that man was looking at me again. I pretended to look at my phone but couldn't resist and looked to the side where he was. Maybe it was too fast because I suddenly felt extremely dizzy.
#
She was going to the entrance. Her gracious walk would bring her near me. She was so pretty.
Suddenly she looked pained. The next thing I saw was she closing her eyes and falling.
I'm glad I was fast enough to take her. She breathed heavily. I had to take her out before they get here.
I looked at my watch. Two minutes.
With her in my arms I went to the park slot where I had left my car. She needed a hospital.
I was close to my car when I heard the car coming. They would not take it easy on me that I wasn't there. They will probably try to kill me.
I can take care of that after. That woman needs attention now. As soon as I opened the car and putted her in the passenger seat I sent them a message saying I wasn't inside the building anymore.
#
The last thing I remember is looking to that man before everything went black. And the first thing I saw when I woke up was exactly that man.
He was in a chair again. But that time he was on the phone. He looked serious, too serious. And afraid. Who was he talking to?
I stayed as quiet as I could and noticed that sometimes he looked at me and something changed in his eyes. Maybe he was worried about me?
That idea made me smile and I got caught. He left his phone immediately and came to me.
"Hey, you're awake."
"Sorry, I'm making a habit of sleeping too much this days. "
"Actually you fainted. In the bank. You remember anything?"
