Chapter 5: He's Carlos
Anna had already taken two steps when she realized that she doesn't even know the name of her soon to be man.
She quickly turned, rushing over to the vehicle, panting heavily as if she'd run a marathon race.
Carlos stared at her with a raised brow. He had just ended his call and stared at her, wondering why she is back.
She breathed heavily.
"I forgot to ask of your name? What kind of girlfriend will that make me if I do not know what your name is."
Carlos seem to smile and he agreed with her. "True! You'd make a bad girlfriend if you didn't return."
Anna was immediately grateful she came back. "So what's your name?"
Carlos stared deeply at her and said, "I won't tell you directly. If you can guess what my name is, I'll happily explain my own idea of experience, agreed?"
Anna was suddenly ecstatic.
From afar, Trisha popped out and stopped, actually surprised that Anna stood by an expensive vehicle, staring into it and smiling.
Who is in there? She also noticed that the vehicle was very expensive, something that can buy all of her own father's properties all together.
Could it be the man she spoke about?
'No one on earth is capable of making Anna smile like that, not even me as her best friend, and yet she actually is smiling so brightly.'
Trisha did not invade, she simply waited by the side until Anna is done with whatever she is doing with a man.
Carlos stared at Anna and asked:
"Are you ready to hack my own puzzle?"
Anna nodded expectantly. What sort of puzzle can she not solve? She was smart anyways.
Carlos smiled and said: "Alright, Mr Neddy an Italian man from Germany, who lives in the Charlotte actually has a massive icon draped over his Car in Los Angeles! From these sentence, my name is there."
Anna pondered over the sentence. Is Neddy his name? No, he cannot answer such childish name. Neddy? He's not the kind of man to answer such name.
So what else?
From within, Carlos stated: "You just have ten seconds. If ten seconds is up, I'll just tell you my name and we would have to go and there will be no explanation."
Anna was suddenly nervous. She really wanted him to explain what it means in his own idea to have experience. She really wanted to know.
She immediately ran over each words carefully, her brains overheating at this moment. She evaluated the sentence. Mr Neddy is an Italian man from Germany who lives in Charlotte...
Mr Neddy cannot be an Italian and be from Germany at the same time. He's either going to be an Italian or a German. And he cannot live in Charlotte and Los Angeles at the same time.
Anna knew that this man here would not answer the name of a country, I mean, he is too sensible to be called German. Also, he cannot be Angeles.
However, as she contemplated helplessly, and watched her time count down, a certain sentence caught her attention.
He has a massive icon draped over his Car in Los Angeles.
Car and Los?
She immediately turned her eyes sparking, he's Carlos?
"You're Carlos?"
Carlos smiled brightly causing Anna's body to warm up.
"Fine you're quite smart so I can explain. Why don't we meet up tomorrow at LeSnore's 7 Star Hotel. Maybe till then, we'll be looking forward to something."
With that, he drove off.
Every lady would actually be frightened by the sentence, Meet me at a hotel, but Anna here was excited. At least, he had asked her out, it doesn't need to be a fancy restaurant to be considered a date.
She happily walked over to Trisha and offered a smile. Trisha, very curious asked: "Was it your, dangerously handsome man?" She wiggled her brows that it was funny."
Anna did not plan to hide it. "Yes, he is. Not just that, he actually asked me to meet him in LeSnore's 7 Star hotel."
Trisha did not mind that he had actually asked her to meet in a hotel with him, for them both, this is considered good news because he had clearly rejected her earlier.
But then, the atmosphere turned somber as Trisha asked: "What happened last night? Why wasn't I able to find you? Did you go out with him?"
Anna quickly retorted. "I should be asking you that question. You disappeared and gave room for Mr Olsen to actually drug me last night."
Trisha's eyes widened and immediately turned frosty. "Mr Olsen actually drugged you?"
"Yes, he planned something despicable. However his plans failed. When I discovered that I was no longer feeling myself, I quickly slipped in a 480 milligrams of sleeping pill into my juice. I fell asleep so his plans did not work out. I did not even know how my handsome man rescued me."
Trisha was upset, her eyes very cold and her mind, scheming what to do to Mr Olsen. "That man is a bad egg. He needs to be taken care of."
Anna herself did not care about whatever happens to Mr Olsen, she simply thought of Carlos and his invitation. She she would definitely learn his own idea of experience? She was excited. She would finally be able meet his standards.
She stared at the paper in her hand. The number boldly stroked on it gave her in intense feeling. The next minute, she choked and coughed, her hands covering her lips. But when she removed her hands, she saw her hands, splattered with blood.
Her eyes widened. She suddenly remembered that she is supposed to be in the hospital today. It was time to renew the drugs on her body that has been responsible for making her live much longer.
Anna wiped her lips and then, turned towards Trisha, "Trisha I have to go to the hospital. I'll meet you at home when I'm done."
When Trisha heard hospital, she thought it was for work. Trisha said; "I just called an Uber, he'd be here any minute... oh, look he's here."
The Vehicle parked and Trisha said; "Take us to State hospital."
And they quickly drove off.
In the car, Anna coughed, her white kerchief on her mouth. Only her could see the blood smeared on it.
They needed to hurry up. How could she have forgotten something so important? Yes, she realized... only when Carlos came into her life that she became rather forgetful.
After a while on the road, they arrived at the hospital and Anna rushed into it. Trisha drove home from there.
A moment after, Anna met the doctor and opened the Kerchief for him to see.
When the man saw the blood, he was immediately on high alert.
"Anna, you were supposed to come yesterday. It's on like you to have forgotten about this day."
"I'm sorry doctor Siya, we need to please get this done or I might just die now."
Doctor Siya led her too the emergency room and admitted her. Quickly, she was administered on. However, Doctor Siya's expression was grave.
"I'm sorry to pass this news Anna but your situation seem to have deteriorated. You're lucky to have come on time, or else we won't know the next news to be heard."
Anna's face was pale.
