Umpteenth
/uhmp.teenth/:-Occurring in a relatively large but unspecified position in a sequence.

Eliana stood in the rain, the umbrella she held barely shielding her from the harsh drops of the rain. She tried switching on her phone for the umpteenth time but to no avail, guess this was what her dream was warning her about.

Eliana dropped her umbrella to take a look at the clouds, The cloud was still a grey colour which shows that there is still more to rain, sighing she decided it was a better idea to stay in the dark with her dog pet, Cat.

She had dreams about a sick dog and being stuck in rain which she already encountered, and lastly she dreamt about a girl in front of a car

Originally, she had visited the vet because Cat wasn't in good health and well the vet had prescribed some food and antibiotics for him.

She had gone to buy the drug, parking her car in the opposite of the place as it had no parking lot and on reaching her car the rain started.

And just to add more to her unluckiness, her car has refused to work, releasing a series of grunts when she turned on the ignition.

She had stayed in the rain with the hope that some car will pass and she will be able to stop them, use their phone and they will be kind enough to take her home but well the street was dry as a desert and the few cars she saw speed by, sighing she decided to go back to the car.

Eliana spotted a car on a high speed at the end of the road, it was speeding towards her direction, and she quickly went to the road in hopes that the car doesn't speed by like the rest.

She quickly ran to the road, jumping and shouting to get the driver of the car to stop.

Dominic's eyes flickered open, groaning due to the headache he felt, he had no idea where he was because he only had a blurry image of what happened last night.

He tried lifting his arms but felt a heavy weight on his left arm, he turned his head to see what it was, to see a girl laying on his arm.

He groaned in annoyance because he could guess that was just another girl he met last night in a party.

He put the head away from his arm and got up from the bed looking around still confused as to where he was.

He groaned as the headache increased remembering about the events that happened last night.

There was a party and obviously he had been invited and he had got drunk and wasted and now was suffering a hangover

He knew he was going to be in a lot of trouble with his uncle he had to get home first before he notice that he is not at home

Dominic walked downstairs to see Andrei and the rest of his friends sitting on the grey couch located at the centre of the room.

He watched as green and grey smell emit from them, definitely the smell of alcohol.

"Oh, you are finally awake" Andrei said

"I am, what's the time??"

"Sunday" Carter said, before bursting out in laughter

"He is still kind of tipsy" Andrei explained

"I see, what's the time??" Dominic asked again

"It's 2" Andrei replied

"In the morning??" Dominic asked

"Afternoon" Andrei replied

"Don't tell me you are drunk too"
Dominic said not believing he slept for that long.

"He is right Dom" Brayden said

"Shit,I am sooo dead" Dominic said

"Why??" The boys asked in union

"I was supposed to be home before 8 in the morning"

"Why??" They asked again

"I don't know, Uncle's rules"

"Oh, your car key is on the fridge" Brayden said

" Thanks"Dominic said before taking the keys making his way out of the house

" You might want to change your cloths" Carter said, a little sobered up.

"Right"

Dominic switched on the ignition, zooming off, the rain dropping on his car in pitter-patter.

He was thankful that there was no traffic to delay him any further.

His phone rang, the picture of his uncle appearing on the screen.[the ones written in italic is Dominic's statement]

Hello

Where on earth are you??

Hmm I have been on my way since, there is a lot of traffic

There is no traffic, I was out not long ago

Oh I mean there was hmm you know

No I don't , be home in ten

Ten?? Seconds?? Minutes??Hours
He asked only to get a beep as a response, Marco already cut the call.

Dominic started driving again, seems like the universe was on his side seeing as the road was free.

Dominic pressed on the brakes, due to the fact that there was a girl in front of his car.

Was she trying to commit suicide
he thought

He watched as the girl quickly came to the window side saying somethings he couldn't hear due to the fact that the window was closed.

"You were saying??" He asked

"I was saying thanks for stopping"

Wait, was she expecting him to run over

"Right"

"You see, I have a problem"

Dominic nodded urging her to continue though he had no idea why she was telling him

"ok so my car broke down, my phone is low, my dog is sick and there is no way I can get home so pls can you help me because if you don't, I would definitely spend my night here and I will starve and my dog might die and-"

" Ok ok I get it, so what do you want me to do??" He asked cutting her off

" Take me home plssss"

" What?!?! I mean hang on a minute"

Dominic took his phone, dailing his uncle's number.

I might come later

No the traffic is cleared

Of course I didn't lie about it

Yes, it is because I am trying to help a girl

I didn't sleep with her

Yh bye

"Get in"

"Oh wait, let me get my dog"

"What dog??"

" Hm my sick dog"

" You didn't tell me you had a dog, I am allergic to those creatures"

" Hmm I did??"

" Are you asking me??"

"Hmm No??"

"Ok you are getting annoying , just bring your dog- make sure you keep it away from me, and let's go I don't have all the day"

" Right" Eliana said before going to the broken car, carrying her sleeping dog who whimpered in annoyance.

She knocked on the window and Dominic opened it before saying

"Sit at the back, I don't want that dog near me"

Eliana sat at the back with the dog on her laps because Dominic has told her that he doesn't want the dog to touch any part of his car.

"Achoo!!!!!!!!!" He definitely wasn't joking when he said he was allergic to dogs.
