Meanwhile, Henry is in the seat of his limousine, he looks at the pictures he took of Ava's helpless form, and then he brags in some group chat about how he managed to bag a baddie who has a reputation of being 'untouchable' or 'reserved' in the school, finally able to spike jealousy amongst peers in school.
(Santiago) : Seriously, bro, no way this guy got this baddie bagged, this is nuts
(Jacob): Uhm, I am not sure if she is really interested in you, Henry. How did you end up meeting her anyway?
(Henry): I saw a distress call, she was sick, and I had to pick her up
(Jacob): Huh, how did you pick up this distress call
(Henry): The limousine had integrated advanced signal processing features, besides I took my chances anyway. It was a business car of sorts
(Jacob): Well is Ava alright though?
(Henry): Yeah she's alright we've talked for a while
(Henry): *Shows a high fidelity picture of her in a soaked blouse*
(Jacob): Lmao, is that how you pick up a girl mate?
(Henry): Well, I had to show proof and also it serves as a testament to my swagger that others men can't have
(Alex): I wonder what you and her talked about, so much for this hero rescue silliness
(Henry): Oh nothing much just the two of us flirting 😏 you're just mad that I get girls you don't
(Alex): Damn bet she's just another of those girls you smooched up, another boring ugly woman
(Alex): Also can you not brag about this publicly, it will just be annoying
(Jacob): I am also friend with a friend of her, she actually has no idea how popular she is I mean she treats being pretty as a simple compliment
(Henry): Yeah, I had a little talk with her that made her agreed to my request - I couldn't really care less about her being some lonely women or whatever image she has on school, she's pretty and I want her
(Santiago): Damn typical Henry, rich guy, cool cars, bad boy type as well, Imagine being henry
(Henry): Shhhhhhh, quit it.
(Jacob): Why is it so easy for you to find shallow woman easily
(Henry): Who's shallow, they are shallow for me that's why
(Jacob): Psshhh, as if that's your worldview towards females
(Jacob): Just don't get over yourself, you arrogant prick. Don't be a crybaby if she ends up hacking your account
(Henry): My family BUILDS the security she'd try to break peasants
(Santiago): Nah, it's just regular Henry stuff let him to his devices
(Alex): Psst, here we go again about the 'libido' in the end she's just another normal whore for you to pick up
(Henry): Hahahahahaha 'Libido' what nonsense are you saying man? You're just mad
(Henry): big W for me, big L for virgin Alex, Who knows I might actually see her in a bikini swimsuit ahahahahahahaha, life can dream - oh wait it's only for you Alex
(Santiago): You got this man, you're the goat of all of us
(Alex): Whatever, I had enough of your clown flexing over nothing
(Alex): Shares a meme of Henry smug face with distorted smile with the caption 'When I get girls'
(Jacob): LMAO
(Jacob): I am gonna go share this with my other friends, this is too funny 😂
(Alex): Guy acts like he is some main protagonist of a lame manga just because he makes one girl smile, I ain't having this anymore
(Alex): Oh no look at me, there is a girl who is about drown I am gonna save you princess, and then I am going to brag about it like some white knight muahahah
(Henry): Seethe more, bozo. No memes saving you from being single, Alex—with that micro-chin and skeleton frame, you're built like a malnourished NPC.
(Henry): *Shows GIF of a scrawny man screaming at the computer shaking his head off and then him smashing the keyboard
(Henry): Alex be like
(Henry): *Shows a picture of a very big steroid man with a cheap photoshopped Johnny Bravo hair as a reference to himself
(Henry): Me
(Alex): Unbelievable
And so Henry closes his phone as he tells the driver to play music, and the music plays. Henry said, "That wasn't as hard as I thought." Henry said to himself, while looking at himself, he relaxed.
His ego was already still, and his nonchalant odyssey had come to an end. It was clear he was tired, his handsome face (Well, I certainly don't know if it appeals to you), but definitely someone with hunter eyes, with a shaven beard, someone who definitely spends time making himself look good.
He was wearing a suit, but not super expensive, enough to look distinguished.
Ava slept peacefully in her room, no disturbance, but with gratitude, with the promise of security and freedom; just being with him was enough.
