My Life In A Fantasy, Women-Dominated World-Chapter 45: I can Drive

"I hate you."

Claire mumbled for the thousandth time, giving me and Eva death glares as she angrily chomped down on a sliced cucumber.

Seeing as we didn’t reply, Claire got angrier.

"Both! I hate you both! Even you, Aaron! You hear me!?"

Still not getting any reply, she tossed her half eaten cucumber at me.

And even though I saw it coming, it was still very hard to dodge the speedy projectile as I leaned back on the couch, narrowly avoiding the cucumber slice.

"Mm~ I didn’t know that the new cheese burst pizza would be so good~" Eva who was sitting in front of me on the couch, squirmed in pleasure as she savoured the taste of pizza.

She was thoroughly ignoring Claire’s protests, smiling widely every time Claire complained.

"It’s good indeed." I nodded back, looking at Claire from the side-eye as she turned her head towards me, glaring.

"Fuck you both. And Aaron, just you wait. Let me get fixed up, I will show you your place." Claire harrumphed for the last time, before sighing dramatically and picking a small spoonful of white rice.

"I wIlL ShOw YoU yOuR pLaCe," Eva mimicked looking at me, as if she was the one threatening me.

"So annoying." Sighing, Claire gave up on the protests as she began eating the hospital food, washing it down with the flavoured milk.

For some moments, no one spoke, as the atmosphere automatically dipped down.

The lively and playful energy reduced as the only sounds were of eating.

A pizza for breakfast was probably not the best choice, but with the high vitality that raiders enjoyed, digesting even expired bread is no problem.

And while mine has a huge scope of improvement, it was no big deal. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"When are Jaq, Katie and Lia coming?" Claire asked calmly, finally breaking the awkward silence.

"Mmm," Eva chewed on the crazy cheese pull, "I twalked to Kazie earlier, she swaid tirty minutes."

"Jaq?"

"They’re together," Eva licked her lips, finally finishing her slice properly before picking up another.

"What are your plans?" Feeling left out, I joined the conversation, alternatively looking at both Eva and Claire.

"Not sure." Eva mumbled.

"What plans? I am hospitalized, though they said I can get discharged by the afternoon." Claire blinked at.

"Right, should I drop you home?" Eva licked her fingers to clean them off, before glancing at me and realizing that it was bad habits.

So she quickly picked up a tissue paper and began to wipe off her fingers casually, as if nothing happened.

"How will you drop me? I brought my car. You’re gonna drive two at once?" Claire chuckled in response.

"Oh yea? Then what will you do? Drive in crutches?"

"Not a bad idea." Claire nodded, contemplating it.

Eva scoffed, not offering any retort.

A chance!

"I can drive." I added with confidence, smiling at Claire.

Claire, not expecting it, paused with the spoon in front of her mouth.

Eva paused too, cheese stretching between her pearly teeth and the half eaten slice.

They both were looking at me just like how I would look at a girl who offered to drive.

With cold apprehension.

There was not an ounce of trust in their eyes, as Claire looked like she would rather drive in crutches than give the car to me.

Tsk, I miss my Nancy. At least she agreed to let me drive.

Though she ended up passing out before I could redeem that offer.

"I think Jaq lives near our home, she can drive us home, it’s alright babe." Claire forced a smile.

"Or I can just drop you guys and book a taxi back to the hospital, so I can take my car to my own home." Eva added coolly.

"Yep, that works. There’s Katie too!" Claire nodded firmly.

"How can I forget Katie!"

I could only stare at them both with twitching eyelids, as they continued their shameless interaction.

They kept mentioning other ideas without even giving a thought about letting me drive.

Fuck, they even reached the point that they were ready to hire a driver to take me and Claire home.

"Fine! I am not driving. For fuck’s sake." Cursing in frustration, I could only drop the thought about getting my hands on a car.

My awesome driving skills need to wait, yet again.

And hearing my curse, Eva and Claire breathed a sigh of relief, switching the topic to more lighthearted ones as the time passed by easily.

Just like that, 45 minutes passed by and 3 beautiful, gorgeous girls entered the room once again.

"How’re you feeling Clay?" Lia asked gently, the calm and matured lady, whose name– or maybe the nickname, I had finally found out.

Katie, no longer looking depressed, was dressed in a short skirt as if the cold had nothing on her.

"So I asked the docs, you can be discharged in a bit." she smiled.

And finally, the little menace.

Jaq, or whose full name I remember to be Jaqueline, was wearing a simple violet skintight suit, which seemed to match her purple highlights perfectly.

Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she smirked looking at Claire, before grinning at me.

"What did you guys do last night, hmm?" she teased.

"They did nothing, don’t start this so early in the morning Jaq." Lia slapped Jaq’s lower back, scolding like a gentle yet stern mother.

"How do you know???" Jaq cried pitifully, holding her lower back in pain.

"I just do." Lia swiftly ended her little interaction with Jaq, before turning to Claire with a stern gaze.

"Clay, some fuck happened." she said.

I felt the room’s temperature drop as all the women in the room straightened their backs, dropping the mischief at once.

Even Jaq became serious when Lia mentioned the serious topic.

Only Claire seemed to be confused, alongside me who had zero clue what I was doing here in the first place.

These gals talk so much but most of the time it goes above my head.

Guilds, tamers, tiers, government, and what not.

Yet, I focused on the words despite the lack of understanding.

After all, knowledge is power.

"What happened?" Claire frowned, not liking their serious and stern faces.

"Sanguini intervened with our mission..."
