"You...bastard..."

He laughed a little, unaware of the terrifying pain she was going through. "You shouldn't have called on help from those stupid communists, so I think you're the bad guy." he pulled on his coat and started swinging around his ring finger, his car key making a silvery sound. "Once again, I'M THE HERO!" he erupted into his usual cheerful laughter, but it wasn't the same to her. He continued laughing as he exited the court house, leaving Luisa alone.

She mumbled, "What am I going to do... I bet Ivan and Miguel will turn their backs on me as well..." she pulled back the heavy white curtains in the court house. "On top of all of that, I'm no doubt going to lose too much money to live..."

She sighed. "I need to get home. I've lost enough for one day, I don't need anyone raiding." When she got up to leave, smoothing out an all too tight and annoying dress, there was the heavy sound of clamping feet at the door of the courthouse.

"Oi, Luisa! Do you need a ride!"

When she turned around, it was no other than the Alfred that had walked out on her just a few minutes ago. "What are you doing here?"

"Answer my question first!"

"Fine... I guess I need a ride."

...

In the car, Luisa turned to Alfred, who was driving next to her like a maniac. "Why do you want to give me a ride? You just embargoed me!"

"That doesn't mean I don't care about you, Luisa. I just don't want you becoming one of those stupid communists - "

"JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE COMMUNISTS, I CAN'T CALL ON HELP FROM PEOPLE WHEN I'M IN A PINCH?"

"...Luisa...

"You're young. You wouldn't understand."

"OF COURSE I WOULD UNDERSTAND!"

Without another word, he pulled over the car. "I'll answer your question short and quick. I care about you so much that I want you to be happy, and you're not going to be happy if you're forced to become one of them. Do you understand now?"

"I...I get it, Alfred. But I'm still going to lose so much money, I can't even imagine to begin how hard living will be..."

"You're still in the process of learning your lesson." she stood staring at him with a clearly surprised and annoyed look on her face. How could he blantantly leave her to starve! "But I can give you something."

He leaned into the backseat and pulled her into a ferocious kiss.

"You know you're not a hero, right? Heroes don't pin down girls in the back seat of their car."

"Shut up and kiss me."
