Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Blair sat up and blinked her innocent eyes, her head in a mess.

“Hartwell, Colonel Wesley, what a coincidence!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“It’s not a coincidence! I’m here to pick you up,” Wesley said with a serious expression on his firmly set face. He was always so straightforward. There was not a moment when his expression would show his feelings.

Blair, Joslyn and Hartwell almost burst out Laughing. ‘Is he always so serious? Even before his family?’ they wondered.

Blair tried her best to hold back her laughter. She didn’t want

Hartwell to misunderstand her relationship with Wesley, so she said in a flat tone, “Thanks for your kindness, Colonel Wesley. I think I’LL go with Hartwell.”

Hartwell, however, felt something wasn’t right. He laid her lies bare for all to see.

“Enough, Blair! Do you think I’m an idiot? Do you think you can fool me?” he snapped.

When she heard what Hartwell said, Blair was stunned. ‘What does he mean?’ She turned to look at Joslyn, but her friend just shook her head and looked back with innocent eyes.

“I didn’t tell him,” Joslyn said with a shrug.

“Stop it! Whose car are you riding in?” Hartwell repeated his question.

He knew Blair was playing dumb.

“I want to come with you,” Blair said in a low voice.

Hartwell took a deep breath and fought off the impulse to roll his eyes.

“You asked Wesley to pick you up. Why ride with me? Just take his car.”

Wesley was confused. ‘Blair didn’t call me to pick her up! Sounds like she didn’t call Hartwell either. And he’s only here to pick Joslyn up.‘

Blair nodded her head obediently. She was so tired her eyes kept closing involuntarily. She was micro- napping and wanted nothing more than a bed.

“Fine, I’ll go with him. Have a safe drive.” She grabbed her purse and got to her feet.

A moment later, she regretted it. Her head spun, and she was so drunk she couldn’t feel her legs. She staggered and fell forward.

Luckily, Wesley was quick. He pulled her into his arms, preventing her from falling to the floor.

Blair held onto Wesley’s arms and tried to get her footing. After all,

Hartwell was still here. But her efforts were for naught. She was Like a fawn, trying to stand for the first time. Her Legs were shaky, and couldn’t hold her.

Wesley had no choice but to scoop her up in his arms. He nodded at

Hartwell and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll get her home safe.”

Hartwell hesitated. It was not that he didn’t believe him, but Wesley was a man, and Blair was drunk. People get stupid when they’re drunk.
