Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chad only unbuttoned his shirt and headed for the shower after the voices at the door had died off.

The following day, Chad planned to visit the patient at nine o'clock in the morning, but ended up leaving at ten because he was waiting for Molly.

At nine o'clock, Coleen pointed at her just-awakened daughter and said to her son, "Go by yourself. She still needs a while to get ready. Look at her, she hasn't even washed her face, combed her hair, or changed her clothes. No point in waiting for her." Chad stood in the living room, hands on hips, wordlessly urging Molly to get a move on with a poker face.

As they got into the car, her stomach started to rumble again.

Molly and Chad exchanged a glance. She said somewhat sheepishly, "Chad, I didn't expect there would be so many things to do before going out."

Chad replied, "If you had gotten up earlier, not only could we have left earlier, you could have had breakfast."

He drove off, paying no mind to Molly's grumbling stomach.

Molly reached for the water bottle in the car and was about to have a drink.

Chad, while keeping an eye on the road, caught her wrist with his right hand, "Put it down, the water is cold."

Molly said, "But I'm hungry."

Chad pulled up in front of a dessert shop, "Go buy whatever you want to eat."

Molly bolted out of the car as soon as the door was open.

In no time, she came strolling out of the store with a sandwich and a bottle of milk in hand.

But with a sandwich in one hand and milk in the other, she had no hands left to open the car door.

She cast a helpless glance at Chad, who was out of patience, but he got out of the car, opened the door for her, and helped her in.

He swore to himself that he would never take Molly out with him again if there was a next time.

If he hadn't been worried about her getting another invitation from some boy, Chad wouldn't have waited for her this morning.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Molly had finished her breakfast. She opened the sun visor on the passenger seat and started touching up her makeup in the mirror before getting out of the car. Chad glanced at his watch. Hmm, almost eleven.

He bit back his anger, wanting to explode but holding it in.
