Vladimir's eyes snapped open and he was quick to collect the phone from James and soon enough a call came in.
Vladimir picked up on the second ring and his mom's loud voice came through he pulled it away from his ear immediately.
"And why have you been ignoring my calls" Mrs Markin asked.
"I haven't " Vladimir replied.
His dark eyes looked straight ahead at the road, his thin lips in a thick frown.
"Anyway, what's taking you so long get here soon your grandpa and I will be visiting the girl's family I will message you the location and drive straight there." His mother said before the line went off.
Vladimir glared at James who tried looking away but couldn't, he offered Vladimir a sorry smile.
"I promise I had it on flight mode the entire time, I needed to send you the mail so I had it turned on" James tried defending himself.
The driver looked at the rearview mirror and took an appropriate turn.

The set of four duos were in the park and we were waiting in line to catch the next ride on the devil's wheel.
As soon as the the people on it exited the ride they climbed in next.
"Hold on tight, " Malachi said and the next moment they were all screaming.
Moments later Ivanie went with Jace to get drinks for themselves and the rest.
"Two cups of Strawberries a cup of chocolate and a cup of mango flavor" Jace ordered.
He is standing with Ivanie on the other side of the park across the road.
"Am having so much fun, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun" Ivanie said to Jace.
"Are there problems back at home?" Jace asked noticing how Ivanie was sighing the entire time.
"What could be so problematic, am just simply happy being out with you and the guys today," Ivanie told him.
Jace nodded he checked his pocket for his card to pay for their order but he simply couldn't find it.
"What?" Ivanie asked seeing the annoyed look on his face.
"I think I left my wallet with Malachi earlier," Jace said.
He handed the crate of the ice cream to Ivanie.
"I would be back," he said before leaving.
Ivanie sighed once more and took her seat on the bench.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw a black car with a tinted windows pull to a stop.
•••••
The car pulled to a stop and James turned to look at Vladimir.
"Get me a bottle of water," Vladimir told James whose brow came knitted together.
"You don't drink just any water why would you demand I get you some when we have many stock in the car?
James looked down at the seat he was sitting on but suddenly he remembered they were no longer back in the States and there was no water in the car.
" Right, water"
Vladimir's brow was already raised at him. James stepped out of the car and approached the shop on the opposite side.
Vladimir looked out the window to see an ice cream shop where they were parked.
His eyes scheme through the teens who were busy enjoying their ice cream.
"Kids consuming too many sweet things" Vladimir murmured.
He noticed one of them in a pink shirt and blue jeans with a blue ribbon at the top of her head.
As she got closer to the car She suddenly missed her footing and lost balance everything in her hands going up, Ivanie stumbled forward and she collided with the car.
The phone she held made a crack in the window.
Vladimir frowns looking at the little crack and a very messy window filled with spilled ice cream.
Ivanie wince as she regained her balance looking at the mess she made.
"Oh no no, what am I going to do about the mess and a crack!! oh God if am pinned down for this, it would surely reach dad ears I can't afford it.
Ivanie got close to the window and placed her hand on it trying to peek in the car, she stretched and turned to see if it was possible to escape the situation.
As she was doing so the windshield rolled down and Ivanie came eye to eye with a very striking man.
He wasn't just good-looking he was hotter than the sun and merely looking at his burns.
"Hi ........." Ivanie waved awkwardly as she was standing in a very weird and uncomfortable position.
Vladimir's face seemed to not be joking rather he was looking way too serious that Ivanie thought of melting into the ground.
"Damaging one's property, how are you compensating for this," Vladimir asked the young lady in front of him.
Ivanie gulped and opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out.
"Umm......... sir how could you say such a thing to an underage underage'm barely having fun I didn't mean to cause any harm.
"Right, you don't seem to feel sorry for what you have done," Vladimir said.
"Sorry??? Why should I after all it's your car on the way, not mine, you should just let it go I will forgive your silliness today next time you should not park just anywhere." Ivanie told him.
Vladimir was chuckling for the next few seconds, he had his eyes fixed on the female in front of him.
"Dear you shouldn't go around offending just anybody, you should apologize for the damages and I would let things go," Vlad told her.
"Don't address me as dear I am no child, am old enough to recognize such a cutie like you"
She stretched her hand into the car and took Vladimir's jaw in her finger.
"Perfect aren't you now, but why are you all serious you should loosen some muscles and smile some more," Ivanie told Vlad whose jaw thickened.
The driver coughed at the girl's boldness nobody dared try such with Vladimir.
James who was approaching the car saw the current situation and the bottle in his hands almost dropped seeing as Ivanie had her finger pinching Vladimir's jaw.
In the next seconds Vladimir was letting out a smirk amazed at the girl's boldness.....................
