14 Hormonal Imbalance

He had perfectly calculated this in his mind before moving away from her. From their earlier conversation, she will not tend to contact strangers, with his current attitude of not helping her, she will trust him even more.

"Young man, please stop!" Anna hurried to his side and blocked his path. "I am sorry, I am wrong! Whatever I said earlier, I said it out… out of… out of hormonal imbalance" 'what the f**k am I saying, hormonal imbalance, Heaven forgive me'

Jacob's eyebrows shot up and he choked up, "What kind of hormonal imbalance is that?" he shook his head and grinning inwardly, 'It seems, I will have more fun time. this day is getting better and better.'

"The one that the youngster has!" Anna thought, 'Doomed! What am I saying'

She then continued with a short pause, "I mean, the rebellious period of the youngster" 'scored! right! with this, will I be off the hook? Whatever… I need his help, that's it.'

Jacob shook his head, "Rebellious period! Ridiculous!" He then shrugged his shoulder and started walking away with a devil grin "I am not convinced. Do convince me, and then I might consider helping you."

Anna was trembling with anger and fear, 'For heaven-sake! God! Please show some mercy to this innocent child; this psychopath is killing me. Good that he could not read my mind.'

Anna breathed in heavily, "My Lord! Please help me! I am a toddler who lost her way to go back home. And I will obediently follow your word of advice and I will never accept sweets and candies from strangers, is this will do?" Convince your b*tt

Anna looked at Jacob earnestly like a goldfish looking for food. Exactly at that moment, Her stomach grumbled noisily, 'Awkward! Is there no more ends to my miseries?'

Jacob looked at her stomach, his head tilted ever so slightly, "You are hungry?"

Anna walked all that afternoon; her energy was all drained by then. In fact, she was hungry and thirsty.

"No!", She lied bluntly.

He raised his eyebrows, "It looks like, you don't need my help. Okay then, Bye!" he turned back.

"No! No!… Stop! Stop!! I am hungry! I am so hungry!! And I truly need your help. You are my only savior, please help me!"

"Hmm… Okay then! Let's go and eat first! Ahh… Grab my shirt, don't get lost again, okay?" Jacob extended his hands to show her the way to the food court.

Anna looked back at the crowd, the concert has ended and the crowd slowly cleared out. She still could not locate Shane, 'Is he searching for me? If he is searching then I should wait in an open space for him to find me out.'

She looked back at Jacob hesitantly, "Can we wait here for some time. Shane might be looking for me. He is… he is my Boyfriend, he would be worried."

"You got a boyfriend?! Wow!!! Did you just say he will be worried?! If so then why did he let you walk around alone in this crowded place?"

She tilted her head and looked at his eyes. She hid her emotions that was welling up, "He didn't know that I left off from the concert, I had nausea and I don't want to disturb him and his friends from enjoying the concert."

That's the fact! Right! She doesn't want to disturb their blissful time.

Jacob narrowed his eyes, "So! He didn't even realize that you stepped away from him and also he didn't even pick your call. Not to mention, he didn't even try to contact you to ensure your safety. Yes! He unquestionably will be 'WORRIED'"

Jacob's question pierced through her heart. It's true that he never paid much attention to her.

Anna stared back at him. Though she felt dreadful right now, she would never let anyone mock her Shane. "Shut up! If you don't want to help then I am fine with it. Don't ever berate my Shane ever again." It was a warning flag raised up by the other party.

"Ok, Ok! Chill out! Wait here and look around, I will grab some food for your grumbling stomach. Ok?"

Jacob signaled thumbs up 'will she accept this stranger's kind aid'
