STUCK IN DANGER

The unplanned incident continued until the resort's personnel finally intervened by interrupting the staring contest. But the mob was proving really difficult to deal with.

"Why would high profile individuals in society behave like some runaway kids?" a member of staff at the resort asked.

"Well, most of them are just douchebags who have preened themselves with lots of money or an important position, that's why," another replied.

"I hate this job with a passion!" The former complained to the latter.

When things started to get out of hand, the management delegated two douchebags to plead with both players and their partners to either lodge in separate suites or vacate the premises.

"Please, do not take it to heart. This is in order to handle the situation." The male delegate applied more makeup on his face while speaking to them very politely. The woman who came with him was holding a cucumber in her hand. That wasn't a big deal until she started sucking the innocuous fruit coquettishly!

One couldn't tell for sure whether or not it was the superior communication skill of the douchebags or the fact that they were just being irritating that made the footballers leave at last. Jason Sam was to be signed to Lordham FC while Roberto played for Milverton. These were the two most powerful rival clubs in the land.

Fans outside the resort were already becoming violent. Videos had already gone viral on the internet. After Jemimah had managed to help Jason find their way out of the resort, she asked him about his contract. "Do you plan on remaining in Lordham or are you leaving?"

His hometown was situated in the southern part of the country famed for possessing bevies of the prettiest women in the entire continent, maybe even in the world and the solar system! Perhaps, it was why she showed no enthusiasm when talking about Jason's possible return. Unbeknown to her, he was not oblivious to what was going on. She had really enjoyed her time with him so far.

Jemimah remembered her incessant lustful reveries in which she and Jason did a lot of things to each other. As a result, she felt so embarrassed by the fact that she had an inordinate desire for Roberto! "Can we talk about what happened please?" She was of the opinion that he didn't say a word because of how she looked at Robbo.

She was unaware that he did not know what to say because he was just as ashamed of himself for staring so intensely at another woman in front of the lady he claimed to be in love with. "I need you to know that I didn't know what came over me when I saw that woman! I still don't know."

"What woman? What are you talking about?" she asked with a tone of curiosity. Then he realized that she was clueless about the incident. 'Are you still struggling with memory loss? You don't seem to have the faintest idea!' "Nothing of importance, to be honest. Just forget about it. I was only pulling your legs." He lied.

They ended up not saying much but kept on wondering in their minds why the other person was oblivious to what happened in plain sight.

'This might be a bad omen. Maybe the reason behind your stay in the city for the time being is that you want to explore it to the fullest.' Immediately, Jemimah's attitude changed. "What exactly do you want with me? It is in the character of most footballers to have flings quite often." She didn't focus on him, probably because he was driving. "Am I a protagonist in one of your escapades?"

Jason wasn't expecting such a question. He was at a loss for words. 'I think you need a kind of assurance,' he said in his mind. Even if nothing tangible developed between the two of them, he had no intention of hurting her.

There was no denying that he was mesmerized by her physique and he wouldn't mind giving all he had for a chance to be intimate with her. Still, that wasn't all he wanted. "I do not think a single fling with you can satisfy my appetite. The hunger you have caused is insatiable, it's like a black hole of black holes. That I can earnestly say for now." His eyes were on the road. "However, I'm not going to get myself stuck in a web of promises."

There was something about the way his words made her feel. She believed him effortlessly. "Are you trying to impress me by mentioning black holes?" She smiled at him.

"What can I say? I learned a thing or two in highschool and I'm stuck in a car with a scientist, someone like Rosalind Franklin."

"Wow! You know her?"

"Of course I do. She and Marie Curry were my favorite scientists back in school," he said excitedly. "But right now, they can stay at the second and third spots. There's a new nerd on my mind. Do you have any idea who she is?"

"I don't know, Beyonce Knowles?"

"Really? That's a very outrageous guess if I must say," he burst into laughter. "Well, I'll just tell you her name. She is none other than that amazing Jemimah Carpenter!"

Soon, they were in front of the city's main museum. A small crowd happened to be there. For some weird reason, they knew that it was Jason Sam and his partner that were in the vehicle.

They began to throw objects at the car. In a wink of an eye, the scene became dangerous. Some of them had blocked the road ahead and the others were right behind them.

"Jemmy, I think they don't like this car very much!"

"Are you kidding me right now? They are Milverton supporters."

"Okay. So why are they so mad at us?"

"I don't know," Jemimah feigned calmness. Then she screamed, "Maybe it's because you took yourself to Roberto, their GOAT!"

"Why is he a goat?" Jason was confused. "What does that have to do with this?"

"G, O, A and T; it's an abbreviation for Greatest Of All Time. Even a child knows this!" She spoke on top of her voice.

"I do too. I was just trying to…"

"Seriously, this isn't the time to do whatever you wanted to say. Tell me you have a plan to get us out of here safely."

"Don't worry, this car is bullet proof. And I have already alerted security by pressing the red button over here. All we need to do is wait for a few minutes."

"Is it fireproof as well? I don't want to be burned to ash by an angry mob!"

"Well, under certain conditions, it is. Guess what, it is also waterproof."

When they looked up, the mob was really close now. There was a man with a gigantic chainsaw! They looked at the screen on the dashboard. The crowd behind them was just footsteps away.

"Jemmy, the car isn't chainsaw-proof!" He wasn't so confident anymore.
