Chapter-16

*•.¸♡ AUTHOR'S POV ♡¸.•*

"Where did you go...?" Myra stumbled over the steps while she made her way toward Diego, who stepped forward to assist her in standing upright. Myra clung to his biceps for support, blinking her eyes repeatedly.

"Wow, she can't handle alcohol at all," Diego thought to himself, observing how Myra had become drunk after just one glass of wine in a matter of minutes.

"Who were you talking to...? Your ex...?" Myra slurred her words, surprising Diego even more.

In her intoxicated state, had she become an overthinker?

This notion crossed Diego's mind as Myra tightly grasped the fabric of his t-shirt and lightly shook him. "Tell me... Where were you, huh? Is that your ex calling you...?" Diego gently guided her to a chair and then knelt before her.

"No, Myra, it wasn't my ex. It was a call from my guard," Diego reassured her, even though Myra still regarded him with her drunken, hazy eyes. "And remember, you are my first and only woman in my life," Diego reminded her, bringing a smile to her face as she asked in a childlike manner, "Really?"

Diego nodded at her with a warm smile, and Myra couldn't contain her happiness, letting out a joyful squeal as she spontaneously hugged him. Her exuberance caught him off guard, and they both tumbled to the ground, Myra on top of him.

"Same to you," Myra said in her drunken tone, which made Diego smile even more, understanding that she was also expressing that he was the first man in her life.

"I think we should make her drink once a month. It's fun to see her playful side," Diego thought to himself, hugging Myra back. Xendar, too, agreed with this idea.

"Dance," Myra declared as she propped herself up slightly while still lying on top of him. Diego gently brushed her loose hair aside with his hand, revealing her face. She gestured for him to get up, and with her tipsy mind, she attempted to pull him up.

Diego complied and stood up, and Myra began to jump around like an excited child, insisting on dancing. Diego's smile never left his face as he watched her in this state. He was not only enjoying the moment but also falling for her even more.

Following her request, he started a song and began to dance with her in a couple's dance. Myra stumbled on her steps, but she persisted in dancing, determined to enjoy every moment of it.

"Couple's dance ish sho cool..." Myra slurred with a tipsy grin as Diego twirled her, holding her fingers and pulling her back close to him, allowing her body to gently fall onto him. Her head lightly grazed his shoulder as she remained in that position.

Diego was savouring every moment of this playful interaction. He leaned in and planted a tender kiss on her ear, expecting her to respond with a smile or a squeal. However, the outcome was quite the opposite.

"Ouch...!" A loud whine escaped Myra's lips in response to his gentle kiss. Diego was taken aback as he looked at her expression, noticing a big pout on her face. It seemed like she was on the verge of bursting into tears.

"You... meanie cat..." Myra pushed him away and started playfully punching his chest with her fists. "You alwaysh tickle me with your beard... You meanie cat!" She continued to punch him while crying loudly, resembling a small child who had just been teased.

"Myra... Myra, listen," Diego tried to soothe her, but she persisted in punching him with her intoxicated strength, which had little effect on him. Eventually, Diego grabbed her hands to stop her flailing, and for a moment, Myra paused in her playful but rowdy "fight."
