Our Arranged Love Story Point 5

Chapter 3.5

What about their phones?

"Shit!"

Genzo checked the rear-view mirror and saw Nami with a horrified look on her face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"My phone... I must have forgotten it in my room."

"Did you want to call Luffy?" said her mother who busied herself lighting a cigarette.

"Yes." Nami checked her purse again. "This can't be happening right now."

"Do you remember his number off-hand?" Genzo said checking his pocket for his cell. "I can lend you my phone."

"I do. Thanks dad!"

"..."

"... What's taking so long?"

"Seems like I forgot mine as well."

"Mom?"

"Battery just died."

Nami's blood boiled.

"Great! Just great!" She hid her face in her hands. "This whole situation is just unbelievable."

Silence swept between them and Bellemere and her husband exchanged a look. Genzo broke the ice.

"Dear, are you crying?"

"I'm not crying!" She sniffled. Her nose red from the fever. "If the two of you had just listened to me in the first place, this wouldn't be happening. Luffy must be upset. May even be thinking right now that I abandoned him..."

"He's not going anywhere, sweetheart."

"I know that. I know that he's waiting on me right now and I also know that we are ridiculously late. So dad?"

"Yes?"

"Do me a favour and step on it."
