Escaping The Mafia King

Two Months Later

Hope and Varys had started coming close to each other. Unknowingly a pattern, a schedule had been set among them. Varys came to pick her up almost every day along with Hector. Hector, for some unknown reason had not recieved his license. And because of that he had to tag along with Varys. And as Hope did not have a car and Stella's classes started an hour earlier than her, she only had two options left, either ride with Hector and Varys, or take the bus.

She had insisted on the second option. She did not want to become a burden on them in the name of friendship but every time she brought up the topic, both Varys and Hector started blabbering things that did not make any sense to her but definitely made clear that she was riding with them until she is fucking alive.

The class had ended and now she was just waiting for Varys and Hector to meet in the parking lot. It had been a month she had joined college and not even a day had gone by when she had not seen Varys. More than Hector and her, a friendship had been formed between them.

On Sundays he would come to pick her up and they both would go to the nearby park to study. He was so keen on teaching her and spoiling her when it came to other things too, like her desire to drive a car? She did not know how to ride one. And when the conversation had come up one day when they were having ice cream in a cafe, he had taken her on an open, empty street and had taught her how to drive one.

By the time they had finished she had been laughing so hard because apparently cars and her were a straight suicidal mission. She could not drive one without making a pass at the nearby pole or innocently parked other vehicles.

"If we continued, you are going to have to buy another car." Hope clutched her stomach and heaved in laughter upon the expressions on Varys' face.

Pure horror. That is what his face screamed.

"Hope, truth to be told," Varys came forward with his hands up high in the air, "I had thought that nobody can be more bad at driving cars than a cartoon character but you have somehow managed to surpass them."
