Another Love

12 Bets and Tequila

Charles's POV

"A shot of tequila for each missed shot and 2 shots each to the losers of each game. Plus the overall winner shall decide the vacation spot while the one with the least wins will pay for the entire trip. What do you think? 5 games?" Elise said wiggling her eyebrows at Isa and Carla. The 2 then nodded at the challenge and Isa asked for a bottle of tequila and 3 shot glasses.

"I think you all need to stop drinking if you want to get back to Maranello by the end of the night." Lorenzo said addressing me, Carlos and Arthur. We all shook our heads and agreed to take it easy on our drinks and that we'll be heading back after the impromptu pool game of the girls which attracted a few audience.

The lag that they played first, determined that Elise goes first followed by Carla and then Isa.

Elise was the one who did the break and managed to pocket one of the balls. Elise continued and pocketed 3 more before missing as she aimed to pocket ball number 9 so she drank a shot glass of tequila before refilling her shot glass. Isa continued and was able to pocket 1 before missing and drinking tequila, coincidentally, Isa has put the cue ball near in a good position for Carla which led Carla to pocket the 9-ball which led her to win the 1st game making Arthur cheer. Isa and Elise then drank 2 shots each as they lost the game.

The girls continued with the next game with Carla doing the break and managed to pocket one ball while doing it then pocketed another before missing. Carla drank a shot while Isa pocketed 3 before missing. Elise then carefully looked at the table and pocketed 2 first before landing a perfect spot and pocketing the 9-ball which made Isa groan as they drank 2 more shots.

The girls continued the game and by game number 5, Isa and Carla looked like they were feeling tipsy or already drunk, I'm not sure as they were both leaning against something, while Elise was still playing and was on the verge of winning her 4th straight game which made the 2 girls groan as she pocketed the 9-ball and pointed to the shot glasses as she smirked.

I must say, she does have a talent in pool.

The girls approached us with Isa and Carla wobbling and Elise holding 2 shot glasses filled with tequila. Elise handed me one of shot glass but I just shook my head which made her pout.

"You can drink it, cherie. We need to drive back to Maranello and as much as you wanted to drive my Pista, you can't tonight, you drank more than you said you would." I said placing my hands on her hips. She pouted even more after hearing what I said which made me chuckle and peck her lips.

"I'm not yet drunk tho." She said and drank the 2 shots before placing the shot glasses on the table and wrap her arms around my neck looking at me.

"You're not drunk but you're not entirely sober, bebe. Let's head back, Isa and Carla are already drunk." I said chuckling.

She looked at the other 2 girls already clinging to their boyfriends before nodding and we all got down from the yacht and proceeded to the parking lot.

I opened the door for Elise and waited for her to sit comfortably before closing her door and walking to the driver's side and getting in.

AI turned the car on before pulling out of the parking lot and drove towards Maranello. My phone rang after half an hour and I looked to see it was Arthur calling.

"Answer it for me, cherie." I told Elise so she took my phone and picked the call up before putting it on speaker phone.

"Hey, Lorenzo wanted me to ask you where you would be sleeping tonight because you only have 2 rooms in your apartment." Arthur asked making me chuckle and look at Elise who just rolled her eyes at me.

"Hey back. He'll be sleeping in my couch for tonight if you won't have him." Elise said which made me shake my head with a smile while Arthur laughed on the other line.

"Thank you for being accommodating, Cassandra. We greatly appreciate it. Goodnight then." Lorenzo said while Arthur was still laughing.

"Good night Leclers and Carla." Elise answered ending the call before turning to her left and staring at me.

"What's wrong, cherie?" I asked as I stopped on a red light noting that she was still staring at me.

"Just because I don't speak French, doesn't mean I don't know the meaning of the endearments you use on me, mio caro." I smiled at the endearment she used. "I just invited you to stay the night and you say nothing." She said before pouting.

I removed my seat belt before I crashed my lips on hers kissing her for a good few seconds before giving her a peck on the lips which made her face light up as she smiled.

I sat back up on my seat and put my seat belt back on just as the lights went green, and started driving again.

"I was going to ask you if it was okay for you if I stayed the night, then you sent the invite which I'll gladly accept, cherie." I said as I put my right hand on Elise's thigh, that's exposed because of the slit of her dress, and gave it a light squeeze.

Elise put her left hand on top of my hand on her thigh so I flipped my hand and intertwined our fingers before I pulled her hand up to place a soft kiss on the back of it before placing our intertwined hands back on her lap.

We arrived at the intersection where I would be separating from the other 2 cars so I honked twice and they also honked twice before I turned left towards Elise's apartment while they went straight in the same direction since my apartment and Carlos's is in the same building.

I parked beside a Ferrari Roma in the garage of Elise's building before getting a small bag containing some of my clothes that I keep in the back of my car for emergency.

We both got to her apartment where she pulled me towards what I think is her room and told me to go ahead and shower as she went to her closet.

She walked towards the bathroom after I got out drying my hair with a towel while only wearing boxers. She pointed to the hair dryer on top of the vanity before heading in the shower.

I finished drying my hair before she finished showering so I was seating on her bed scrolling on Twitter when she came out, wearing an oversized shirt and a pair of shorts, after a while as she blow dried her hair in the bathroom vanity first.

She looked at me then looked at my exposed upper body, as she walked towards the bed, before biting her lips and looking back at my eyes again which made me groan.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me as she sat on my lap straddling me as I put my hand on the nape of her neck and pull her face closer to mine before kissing her.

We continued making out and feeling each other up until we both felt contented and just sat with her forehead on mine as we stared at each others' eyes before we both agreed to go to bed already since it was almost 4 am so we cuddled up against each other before I gave her a peck on her lips and said goodnight before kissing her forehead and going to sleep.
