4 Where Is She?

"She kept emphasizing Ethan is crazy but between the two of them I think she is the crazy one," Mark muttered in annoyance. The only one who looked worried was Benjamin.

"What are we going to tell Ethan, we have never failed to get a girl that he desired before," Ben said dejectedly.

"What else if not that the one he wants is insane," Mark said before he walked away. Benjamin followed him out of the hospital.

Back at Ethan's home, he sat on one of his expensive couches at home, waiting to receive good news from his friends as always. He began feeling anxious when he didn't receive any call from them. He has never felt that anxious before.

Just then he heard the door opening. With a smile on his face, he waited to meet the beauty who had captivated him at the club but to his greatest surprise, he didn't see any lady with them.

"Where is she?" He demanded, still looking around for any sign of a lady in case she was far behind them.

"Don't tell me you left her in the car? You should have brought her inside. Mark go and bring her" he said excitedly.

"Ethan we are sorry, we couldn't bring her. She blatantly refused to come with us," The angry Mark said, ignoring Benjamin's signal.

"We indeed failed to bring her but don't worry maybe she is just playing hard to get. You know that is how some of them behave at first" Ben reassured him despite knowing deep down that the lady earlier didn't look like she was playing hard to get.

Back at the hospital, Amanda woke up, but the doctors had to run a few tests to make sure the accident did not affect her brain or other delicate organs in any way.

After the test, she was shifted back to her room. The doctor assured the family that she will be alright. Immediately the doctor left the room and Bella began questioning her.

"How did this happen?" Bella asked worriedly. "I was so surprised when the hospital called that the owner of the phone was involved in an accident, I had to abandon the guest I was attending just to get here".

"Bella, I don't know what to say. You know that whenever I board a taxi, I always tell them to drive carefully. I don't know where the car that ran into us came from. I was so scared I thought I was going to die in that accident," Amanda expressed her fears, trembling at the remembrance of the earlier incident.

"Thank God nothing terrible happened to you because I don't know what I and your father would have done if something terrible had happened to you," her mother said, weeping.

"When I received the news from Bella, I nearly had a heart attack, but I am grateful to God that nothing serious happened during the accident except for some bruises you sustained on your body and the cut you have on your forehead, which the doctors have assured us that you will be okay," Her mother continued in a sad tone.

"What do you want to eat, so that I can order it?" Bella asked her friend. She was so scared earlier that she wouldn't wake up today.

"Can you order some pizza? The one that has a lot of chicken, because I feel like eating chicken," she said excitedly.

"I won't let you eat greasy food. I will go home and prepare some porridge for you," her mother said.

"I don't want to eat porridge mom! I just survived such a deadly accident, so give me something delicious to eat," she answered, staring at Bella to help her out.

"Aunt is right, you shouldn't eat junk food. Let her get you some homemade food. When you recover you can eat as much pizza as you want, ok?" Bella pleaded with her. Amanda can be such a baby when she is sick but for an unknown reason, she didn't press further.

In the dead of the night, a certain person could not sleep. Normally he would have stayed up the entire night tip work if he couldn't fall asleep but right now he was not in the mood to do anything.

His entire being was yearning for the lady he met earlier in the club. He couldn't take his mind off her indifferent expression when she was in their VIP room.

He kept recalling her beautiful voice when she spoke for the first time to him. He couldn't take his mind off her.

At about 2:00 am the tired Bella heard a knock at the door.

"You may come in, the door is open," Ethan reluctantly said. When he saw that it was his Mark and not the maid he stood up to sit on the bed.

"What do you want, Mark? I clearly said I was not in the mood to talk to anyone including you and Ben".

Mark walked further into the room. He stood close to Ethan's magnificent bed covered with blue bed sheets.

"Stop behaving like a child Ethan," Mark scolded coldly. He was so fed up seeing his friend act this way for a lady they merely met once. The most annoying thing to him was the fact the lady his friend is crazy about is a waitress.

Maybe he wouldn't have been so angry if she was a big shot like them.

"You could get any girl you want, so why are you still disturbing yourself over an ordinary waitress? You are above that. I have arranged some girls for you, so come down and take a look at the one you will like to have tonight," Mark said in a tone that says he wouldn't take a no for an answer.

Ethan knew what he desired but he decided to follow Mark downstairs to see what was so great about the ladies he brought for him.

When he reached where the ladies stood, he sized them from head to toe.

Normally, their flirtatious glances and advances would have made him extremely excited but at the moment he felt nothing but disgusted seeing them advances at him with not only their eyes but also their movement.

To the surprise of Mark and the shock of the ladies Ethan turned and walked out on the girls and went back to his room.

Mark was too shocked to utter a word.
