Nausea is beginning to kick in once more and I lean again on my sofa and attempt to calm my respiratory. The foggy good instances have utterly worn off now, and I’m left with what feels just like the flu. After all, that irritates me as a result of I’ve been cautious to not catch something. Mazie palms me a glass of water and sits beside me on my sofa as she research me.

Her blonde hair falls throughout her shoulders, fairly pink, plump lips and beautiful darkish eyes—effectively, apart from the truth that certainly one of her eyes is vibrant purple and he or she’s holding a tissue towards it.

“What occurred to your eye?” I ask, taking in a number of deep breaths as a result of I really feel like I’m about to have an bronchial asthma assault.

“Nothing. I’m high-quality. Simply poked myself accidentally.”

I’ve a short reminiscence of making an attempt to the touch her cute button nostril within the foyer and lacking, and I groan. “Oh, fuck. I’m sorry. I don’t know what occurred.”

“Inform me the identify of your dentist. I’m going to name him and ask if it is a regular response to laughing fuel. I’ve by no means seen anybody be so out of types.”

I hand her my cellphone and open my contacts, citing Dr. Rooney’s quantity. “Earlier than you hit name, I ought to inform you…I dated his daughter for actually three or 4 weeks. We had nothing in widespread and he or she form of pressured me to finish it. I believe he is perhaps offended and will have purposely given me a bit an excessive amount of laughing fuel. I’ve by no means even had a filling earlier than right now, so I’m not sure, however he certain appeared to provide me quite a bit.”

Her mouth drops open and he or she pulls the tissue away from her eye. “Nicely, that might be extremely unprofessional. I imply, did you get her pregnant after which kick her to the curb?”

“No. However would that make it okay for him to drug me if I did?” I squeeze my eyes closed as a result of my head is pounding now.

“Aidan.” She snaps her fingers in entrance of my face and my eyes shoot open. “Inform me what occurred along with his daughter, and I’ll resolve how a lot venom to spew after I name.”

I proceed to inform her the entire mortifying story about Hortance and Evangeline and he or she’s falling over from laughing so onerous.

Nice.

I’ve clearly been drugged for not eager to partake in a threesome and now the lady I’m really excited about is laughing her ass off on the state of affairs.

“It’s not that humorous.”

“It’s a bit of humorous. However he’s an asshole for taking it out on you.” She pushes to her toes and holds up her finger.

I let my eyes fall closed once more as I hear her raging on the cellphone about medical malpractice as she insists on getting Dr. Rooney to return to talk to her. She offers him an earful about how sick I’m. How inappropriate it’s that he overdosed me on laughing fuel. She threatens a lawsuit, and I can hear him frantically making an attempt to speak himself out of it. I hear her ask all types of questions on what to anticipate for me now, and extra raging and shouting occurs earlier than the speaking stops.

“Right here, take these.” She’s sitting beside me once more and palms me two drugs. “Ibuprofen for the headache.”

“What did he say?”

“Nicely, he claims it was an accident, however he’s protecting your invoice for right now and providing you free dental for the following yr, so I’d say he should really feel responsible.”

“Fuck no. I’m not going again to that jackass once more.”

“I instructed him that. So, I needed to be resourceful,” she says, with a depraved smile on her face. Rattling, she’s cute.

“Which means?” I ask as I tip my head again and swallow the drugs.

“He’s at the moment ordering us steak and lobster to be delivered from Bruno’s down the road, and I requested a chocolate-covered fruit basket for you when you get well.”

I shake my head with disbelief. “You bought us dinner and fruit? He drugged me. That’s hardly honest compensation.”

“Nicely, it’s laughing fuel. It could be onerous to show in a courtroom of legislation.”

“I’m a goddamn legal professional,” I say, earlier than shaking my head. “You’re in all probability proper. It’s finest I’m freed from him and his crazy-ass daughter. It’s my mom I’m apprehensive about.”

“Why?” she asks, her darkish brown eyes large and curious.

“We’ve been going to him since I used to be a child. She gained’t be joyful that she has to discover a new dentist, however she’ll lose her shit if she finds out he drugged me.”

She rubs her palms collectively mischievously. “What’s going to she do?”

“I don’t know, however her mama bear instincts are second to none.” I lean again and chortle once more as a result of the entire thing is ridiculous. “I can be sending a authorized letter over to his workplace. At the least try to scare the shit out of the man.”
