Episode 13

***

Music played unceasingly and all Daniel could do was watch Henry danced with his wife, in fucking public! He thought if he would ever come here with his wife, It'll be to get wasted and spend the night together but today none of that was going to happen. He tried to remind himself and he reason why he allowed this to happen. Oh yes! He lost a fucking dare to that bastard. He knew who Henry was and yet he was quick to make a dare with him. In his defense, he never thought he had lose. He drank another glass of Hennessey in one gulp and asked for the bottle when he was insatiable. Austin who just came over from talking with a lady tapped with urgency.

"Daniel Thompson why the hell is Henry all over your wife?!" Austin asked.

"I told her to dance with him." He answered shrugging as if he was okay.

"And you came over here to drink?!" Austin scoffed. "You are unbelievable!"

"I'm only allowing it just because I lost the bet Austin!" Daniel gritted his teeth and forced the reply still not taking his eyes off the both of them. When Henry noticed this he pulled her more into the dance floor and she tried to catch his eyes before being blocked by dancing horny adult. She did and guess what, he was staring right at her. It didn't feel okay dancing with Henry who she just met and not him-her husband who literally invited her to the party. Is that how much he doesn't want to be near her.

"What's the problem? tired already?" Henry asked.

"No need another drink."

Austin stared at his best friend as he poured down another shot refilling his glass immediately.

"Why would you bet on something like that, you know who Henry is and trust me he'll torment you to the core." Austin sighed when Daniel said nothing.

"You should be happy you have high alcohol tolerance, If not you'll be crazy already just like her."

"Just admit that you are attracted to her already it won't hurt." Austin pressured.

"Stop talking nonsense." He replied and that does sound like a déja vu maybe because it was the same thing his wife had told him when he insisted.

Nonsense-

"Then just drink to stupor watching your best friend dance with your wife, it would be normal considering I only speak nonsense these days." Austin said.

"She'll just run away again like Clara did." He answered not even quite sure that that was the reason.

"So you're afraid that it wouldn't work?" Austin guessed already sure that definitely, was not the reason.

"I'm sure she's going to run from me once I admit I like her Austin. Things doesn't change."

"And how do you know that?" Austin frowned. If only they would just open to each other already. The attraction was there but-

Too quick? No definitely not too quick, Austin answered his own thoughts.

"I don't know Austin, I really don't know." He moved to take another shot in but Austin held the glass.

"The two of you can't get drunk at the same time one of you have to save the other and I think the other," he paused making sure to emphasize on the last words. "is already wasted!" Austin said and that got Daniel to lower his glass.

"Now go to her."

He sighed while twirling with his cup. Stealing another look at them he got up. "I'll be right back." He gulped down the remaining content of the cup. Stealing another look at them, he walked away.

---

He just came out of the rest room ready to go home when he caught Henry on the phone just besides the pool. Here, the music was lowered and could be heard softly compared to inside the building.

"Hey handsome, want... to have some fun..." The lady slurred her words. He watched her as she tried to wrap her hands around his neck. She was quite pretty if you would ask him but no can do. "I bet you haven't gotten any since you got here."

"No I think I'll pass." He told the lady before peeling her hands away from his neck and moving away from her.

He took his attention back to what made his stop. If Henry was there then who the hell is Rissa with?

He weaved through the crowd of dancers in a hurry looking for her and he finally found her...in a strangers arm. His hands around her waist, and a bottle of drink in her hand. The guy kissed down her neck sucking on a spot.

Christ?!

"Get away from her you bastard!" His voice was enough to make the man distracted from what he was previously doing. Daniel expression was full of anger and nothing less.

"Oh Daniel, long time no see. I was having fun and you need to get some too so we can have fun together."

"Sunshine say hi to a friend, he was the hotheaded I was telling you about." The drunk guy stated.

What a coincidence!

"Hi-friend," she giggled.

"Friend?" Daniel scoffed, mentally face palming himself. He quickly pulled her away from the drunk.

"Hey what's your problem give her back!"

"Can't you see she's taken?" Daniel retorted.

"Oh really, I can't see a ring!" The guy spat aggressively at his lack of entertainment.

"That's your problem!" Daniel yelled back when he found her without his ring.

Why didn't she wear the goddamn ring!

"Well you should really find someone else, you are good looking and it's my luck."

"I don't need to repeat myself. You aren't even supposed to be alive for touching her with your filthy hands you bastard!"

"What did you just call me?" He was staggering to take a punch at him but he fell down without much effort groaning down there in pain.

"Now you see he has gone to sleep...so you have to dance with me." She hung her hands around him in one movement rolling her hips against him.

He groaned. "How many shots did you take?"

"1 bottle...just one bottle." She laughed hugging him tightly. "You are one beautiful and sexy man." She chuckled. She went ahead to trail her finger at his jaw and he skillfully caught it in a grip. He actually thought of pressing his lips to hers but shook his head at the thought this time.

"I think we should go-" He stopped midway and froze when she began trailing kisses down his jawline with giggles. He tightened his grip unconsciously around her hands in contemplation but resulted in pulling her away from sweaty bodies.

What the actual fugde?!

"Ok, I've had enough we need to go home I knew I shouldn't have let you come with me." He blurted out in anger. "Why did you even have so much to drink."

Because, She wanted to forget. For once, she didn't want to bother.

"Hey! let me go!" She squirmed as she was pulled out of the club.

"I want more fun-"

"Damn that stupid alcohol!" He cursed before going through the door.

He laid her on the bed before taking off her shoes.

"You didn't let me get any fun...you're so mean!" He ignored her.

"You know the beard guy kept calling me beautiful, am I?" He used this opportunity to steal a glance at her. What was he supposed to say, maybe he'll keep on ignoring.

"Am i, danny?"

"Seriously?!" He finally snapped after blinking at her nickname for him. "Shut up already!" She pouted.

When he moved to take off his own shoes she stood up running for the door.

"hey, hey, hey." He called and got up with one shoe off running to her and just about then she missed a step but he was already at her pace catching her before she fell face flat on the tiled floor.

"Let me go, if you don't want to tell me that I'm gorgeous then I'll go to that sexy beard guy and let him know that I think he's good looking too."

What the hell?!-

"He even told me that my husband was an ass when I told him that he didn't look at me that way."

"Stop it, you're taking alot out!"

But she continued, "he doesn't even know that some girls are attracted to him ...oh what am I saying...he won't even care....all he does is hurt people who think about him all the time, who gets hurt whenever he picks a fight with them."

"I said that's enough!" He could tell that she was going emotional already. He rolled his eyes as she sobbed.

"...people like me!" He paused when he heard her words. Though she continued her rant, he could only think about it;

'People like her?'

Is the saying true that the words of a drunk man words are his sober thoughts, if he isn't speaking gibberish that is.

He stared at her lips about to do something stupid, something she would probably regret when she was sober.

"I hope you won't remember this when you wake." Then he kissed her....
