She was so sexy and even the formal business suit and skirt did nothing to hide her sensuous charm.

"You're not hearing me, Seth! This is serious! I went to personally see the mayor and all I saw were people with the same intent as I do.

​​

They also had no clue. An announcement was made by the office that they were still trying to contact anyone about what exactly happened." Adriana said in passion as if her words could rouse me up from my relaxed state.

"What a pitiful creature." I thought amusingly.

"Calm down. I'm sure an answer will be given by the end of the day. Why don't you prepare lunch while I get myself cleaned up? Everything is going to be okay. I promise you, Adriana." My gentle voice soothed the anxiety out of my girlfriend.

"Honey! Come down now. Lunch is ready!" I heard the voice of my gullible girlfriend as I was drying myself with a towel.

"Be right there, honey!" I yelled back and got a robe. Then unhurriedly went down the stairs towards our dining area.

"Hmmm... That smells tasty, honey! Your cooking always reminds me why I fell in love with you. I could stay here with you forever and asked for nothing but you alone." Lies came off my mouth in droves. Nobody ever got tired of praises.

"Ohhh... That's sweet of you, honey! I could say the same. You complete me, my dashing debonair. And I love you so much!" Adriana pledged and I could see the illusion of love and romance twinkle in her eyes.

"A fool. HAHAHA!" I laughed inside and wondered at the naivety of humanity.

"Let's eat, honey." I said as I sat down and began filling a plate for Adriana. The play never ends, I thought delightedly.

"I fear for my parents, honey. I think we should go there and visit them." Adriana said after she merely toyed with her food. She got no appetite because of all the troubling things she feared might come out of this situation.

"They'll be fine, honey. But I know you won't get satisfied with only that. We'll come get them today, okay?" I assured the beautiful dove in my sight.

"Thank you, Seth. It would give me peace of mind to have them here with us until all of this confusion straightens out." Adriana looked at me like I was an angel complete with halos and wings.

She loved her parents and she could not leave them alone especially with how things were escalating. Her intuition told her that this was going to get worse before it gets better.

"I worry for them too, honey." I smiled and it worked magic unto the object of my attention. I could have done anything to her at that moment and she would've gladly obliged with eagerness.

But that would have to wait for later. I grew impatient in learning what was there to see outside of this cage that I find myself comfortable with.

My conjecture was same with Adriana. This was simply a prelude of something bigger. And I could not wait for it to unfold before my very own eyes.

"I hope you will not disappoint me." I addressed to no one as l look forward to the journey I had yet to take together with my girlfriend, Adriana.

"A perfect male." I said to myself when I was done examining the minute details of my visage. The mirror displayed a handsome figure of a well-endowed man in his 30's that stood 6 feet 3 inches.

Behind me was the was image of a goddess in short shorts that showcased her legs in an enigmatic visual spectacle. Adriana really knew her fashion and was extremely attractive to both male and female alike.

She barely reached my shoulders in height but that did not diminish her beauty to any girl much taller than her.

"I'm ready, honey." my girlfriend intoned after her hair and makeup was done. She cared for her vanity more than any other. Not that I blamed her.

I certainly enjoyed everything about her and loved how my friends would drool a river every time they saw Adriana.

"What the fuck are they doing?!" I cursed aloud when I saw the sea of people blocking my way. We were approaching a bank and people where hysterical as they argued with the establishment and its security.

"The banking institution should not work as well." Adriana commented beside me. We were driving our car around and we simply could not pass through the convergence of mass before us. And going back is also out of the question since there was a line of cars hindering us from doing so. The traffic jam seemed to worsen towards the path we're going.

"We should just walk, honey." I sighed and lamented on the fact that there was really no other solution to our dilemma. From here on out, it would take us approximately 30 minutes of fast trekking in order to arrive at the home of my girlfriend's parents.

"But it's so hot outside, honey. I can't take all this heat. I also didn't bring any sun protection with me." were the spoiled words that answered me.

"Here, take this. It would do something about the heat. Don't worry about your skin. Even if you grow dark like the night, your beauty will forever be the best in my eyes. And your parents are more important, yes?" I said as I gave the cap that I wore to Adriana.

"Okay." Adriana relented after a moment of hesitation. I irresponsibly parked the car on a free space to my left that further made the road narrower than it was but I was too unconcerned to care for the blazing horns that resulted for my actions. I could even hear shouts behind me but turned a deaf ear to it all.

"Come on, honey." I went outside the car and opened up the door on the passenger seat, urging Adriana to get away from this crowded place as fast as possible.
