The Devil's Sweetheart

9

All the trio were sitting together on a floor with a wine bottle at the center. Carrot was busy roaming here and there, biting and chewing anything that appears soft in Uncle Pumpkin's house.

"I am not going to drink!" The wine looked tempting but she did not want to embarrass herself talking nonsense about him and was about to leave the place, she was dragged back by both.

"Just one glass Jennie, you can release all your stress." Rosé coaxed her. She was getting impatient to know the person who made this witch tongue-tied.

"Jennie! Man up and drink. Don't you want to take revenge? You can only do that when you are drunk." Uncle pumpkin added fuel to the fire.

Yes, tit for tat. At least you have to take imaginary revenge on him for making your life hard for 3 days, Jennie. She grabbed the glass and chug down the entire content in one go.

"Now tell me what happened at the hotel," Rosé asked in excitement.

"Not telling."

Rosé looked at Uncle Pumpkin and nudged him for the second one. The moment he filled her glass, she swallowed everything and put down the glass asking for more. He kept on pouring and she kept on drinking not even spilling anything they anticipated.

"Who made you stressed today?"

"Am I stressed? Why?" She asked in a drowsy voice and collapsed on the floor.

"I think it has started to take the effect," Rosé whispered while Uncle Pumpkin nodded his head.

"MORE." She started laughing rolling on the floor.

"Jaaaaackkkkk Cooooondoooommmm! Get the ass out of here and bring the hummus you made today! My Summary is hungry!" Her giggles did not stop and her blabbering never ended.

"You know Rosé, I was born in 1920 and died in 2000 at the age of 10 in Africa. Can you believe it?" She gazed at them like a lost child.

Both sighed loudly! This is the worst part of Jennie when she is drunk, she spouts all illogical riddles which have no answers.

"Rosé, come with me. We will arrange the dinner." The duo went into the kitchen leaving the drunkard alone when she is not revealing anything they were anticipating to know. Both entered into the living room after their dinner preparation only to find an empty wine bottle on the floor. Panicked, they searched all the rooms, but the person was nowhere to be found.

"The door is locked. She must be here only." Uncle pumpkin informed searching in the walk-in closet.

"Then where did she go. We searched the entire-"

"Wine cellar!"

"Wine cellar!"

Both voiced out loudly at the same time. There was only one room they left out and without wasting a second, both rushed into the room to find 2 empty bottles already on the floor, while the third one was being half-emptied by a certain boozer.

"Uncle Pumpkin, the situation will be out of control now." Rosé already started imagining things would happen tonight.

"I am scared." Uncle Pumpkin voiced out. If a glass itself can make her speak illogical things, he was afraid what sort of bizarre things would happen, now that this drunkard has gulped down 3 bottles. They walked over to help the tipsy Jennie when she was struggling to get up, but she kicked them and both fell on their butts. She has become more active in her drunken state. In a drowsy state, Jennie caught sight of something at the corner and drunk walked there.

"Jennie, No!" Uncle pumpkin cried when she kicked the teddy bear which he has treasured for years. It flew and directly sit over his head.

"Nice teddy. Is it a gift from uncle William?" She asked clapping her hands in excitement when she hit a goal with the doll. Uncle pumpkin embarrassingly removed the teddy bear from his head. Does this brat even know the gifts given by him?
