My Love, Enlighten me

Gloria Taylor remembered that she bought a contraceptive medicine.

She changed her clothes and squatted down in front of the drawer. When she found the medicine, she heard the door creaked open.

She was holding the medicine bottle when Kenny Clarke pushed the open and came in.

She reacted quickly and quietly hid the bottle behind her, “You’re home?”

She thought that Kenny Clarke was out, but it turned out that he was still at home.

“What are you looking for?” Kenny Clarke walked toward her slowly.

She hid the bottle behind her as she stood up, “My throat is little uncomfortable. I’m looking for some medicine for it.”

His eyes were sharp, but his tone was both indifferent and normal, “The medicine cabinet is not there.”

“Hm.” Gloria Taylor panicked.

But, Kenny Clarke walked past her to the side, “I’ll take the medicine for you.”

She was surprised and relieved at the same time.

Just then, Kenny Clarke walked in front of her, but he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to take the medicine she hid behind her back.

He was fast. He didn’t give any chance for her to react. Now, he robbed the bottle off her hand.

“You—” Gloria Taylor shouted for she was annoyed, but his gloomy face silenced her.

He held the medicine bottle tightly and asked, “What is this?”

He looked at her straight in the eye. His stare was so tense and it looked like it could explode at any moment.

She gulped as she looked around and whispered, “It’s a contraceptive pills.”

“Louder.” He said hoarsely.

“I said it’s contraceptive! Can’t you hear me?” she shouted.
