The Ninth and Final Bailout on Our Love
I have to go to the police station to bail two people out at 2:00 am.
The young woman this time is different compared to the others in the past. She keeps her head hung and is as docile as a rabbit.
Melvin Norton, my boyfriend, says with a smile, "I've just won her heart over. This is your junior colleague, Stacy Decker.
"I joked about wanting to try having car sex with her. She dared not do that, so she grabbed the steering wheel from me. That's how we ended up crashing into the greenbelt."
Stacy raises her head to glare at Melvin with red-rimmed eyes. But that's when the hickey on her neck is revealed.
I just nod with a blank expression. Then, I begin the procedures fluently.
The police officer in charge of the fine is already used to seeing me at this point. He asks casually, "How many times have you done this so far?"
I'm temporarily taken aback by the question, resulting in me pausing in my actions.
Last year, Melvin had cheated on me with a saleswoman. The year before, it was a nurse. The year before that year was the gym trainer…
Suddenly, I lose all interest in this stupid game.
"This is the ninth and the final time."
