For The Stars Have Sinned (Complete)

Chapter 52

I stomped into the bar the bartender was talking about earlier. I never thought Tiden would go to such places. He has always not liked to drink alcohol so it is surprising that he is coming here now. If he had a problem, he should have told me.

I quickly got closer to the counter where I could see his bulk in the distance. My eyebrows only met more. I never saw him wasted like this. I think that between the two of them, June has less chance of being wasted.

"Tiden," I called when I got close to him. But he didn't even move as he sat down.

I looked at the bartender and handed him an envelope to keep him quiet and he seemed to immediately understand what I meant. I smiled at him before asking for help to carry Tiden to the car that was waiting for us.

Gerard was there waiting while leaning on the hood of the car. He stood up when he saw me with the bartender while leading the drunken Tiden. He quickly approached us and took over leading Tiden.

"Thank you," I said to the bartender then got into the car following Gerard who put Tiden in the backseat.

"Member of Vine, Miss?" Gerard asked, glancing at the rearview while driving the car away from the bar.

I nodded. "You already know Vine?" I asked, laughing a bit. At first he didn't know Tiden in the band.

"Miss, Vine is popular now so it's impossible for me not to know him."

I was quiet there. By the way, Vine is popular so the bartender probably knows Tiden. But I am thankful that he was not an opportunist and called my number to pick up the drunk. But I can't help but ask if Tiden did something naughty at the bar while I was gone?

"Where do you want to go, Miss?" asked Gerard.

"Hotel in the city."

So the car stopped in front of a 5-star hotel owned by one of the famous tycoons in the city. Gerard helped me get Tiden into the unit and put him on the bed.

"This should be enough---"

I stopped speaking when Tiden suddenly grabbed my wrist. I looked at him lying on the bed. His eyes were slightly open but I noticed that he was not looking directly so I knew he was delirious.

Gerard was about to approach but I raised my hand. "Get out first," I told him.

He looked at me and Tiden for a few seconds before leaving the room. I sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. I held his hand and squeezed it lightly.

"Tiden," I called him. His eyes were still staring at my face so I cleared a throat. "You're drunk so you spend the night here first."

"Rishel," he whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Don't leave me, Rishel."

I was stunned by what he said. After a while I smiled softly and caressed his cheek. "Who said I would leave you?"

But he didn't answer and kept staring at me. This time, he looked straight into my eyes and I didn't know if he was in his right mind or not. "Go to sleep first," I urged.

He tightened his grip on my hand while still looking at my face. I helplessly smiled at him. "Do you want to say something? Hmm?"

As I looked at him, I couldn't help but remember when we were still in high school. He had a fever that night and just like now he wouldn't let go of my hand. I shook my head while laughing. It's cute because watching his cute face looks like a child snatching candy if you can look at it.

"Tiden. Let go. You've been holding my hand for a while," I joked to him.

"Rishel, you are so beautiful." His lips curved into a sad smile. "I hope it's just me. I won't hurt you like he did to you. Rishel, you should choose me..."
