Aurora's POV:-
At Restaurant...
At the restaurant,the waiter approached our table to take our orders.I opted for white sauce pasta,while Aiden chose chicken lasagne and wine.
With a sarcastic tone,he asked,
"Should I order orange juice for you,Cariad?"
I questioned why,to which he replied,
"Cuz,I don't think you can handle it."
Defiantly,I retorted,"No, I will have wine too."A smirk adorned his face as he included a glass for me in the order.
Despite my lack of experience with alcohol,I decided to give it a try,hoping not to create a scene.As we dug into our meals,Aiden sipped his wine effortlessly,while I found the taste bitter.Nevertheless, I managed to finish my glass, and to my surprise, he ordered another.This pattern continued until we had consumed five glasses of wine. Aiden appeared fine and composed, while I struggled,
seeing three of him in my intoxicated state.
🖤🖤🖤
Aiden's POV:-
As we placed our dinner orders, I playfully teased Aurora for opting for juice, but she defiantly switched to wine,I chuckled at her cute behaviour.During the meal, I sipped my wine,finding one glass insufficient.To my surprise,she mirrored my actions,following every sip. We ended up sharing five glasses.
As the evening progressed, Aurora became visibly affected by the alcohol,stumbling and tripping.Instinctively,I caught her by the waist to prevent a fall.
Locking eyes,she thanked me with a surprise
"thank you, baby."
Shocked, I said "What?"
and she folded her arms around my neck, and whispered,
"take me home, honey."
Her tone stirred something within me, and unable to resist, I knelt down, carrying her heels in my hands, ready to carry her to the car.
🖤🖤🖤
As I settled into the car, she shot me a confused expression.
"Is something wrong,Cariad?" I inquired.
"How can you carry a chubby girl this easily,like I am a balloon,"she questioned.
Chuckling, I replied,
"A balloon?"
"Give me a answer"She yelled.
with a sigh,I responded while maintaining eye contact"I don't know what others told you about yourself, but I can carry you all day and night, Cariad."
Her cheeks flushed as she muttered, "Ohhh?"
I assured her,"Yeah."
As I began driving, she remarked,
"Isn't it boring without music?" I replied,
"Feel free to play anything."
She quickly grabbed her phone, asking me to connect it to the car.
Requesting her to wait, she playfully blocked my face with the phone,
to which I responded, "Alright, give me your phone." She obediently handed it over.
After playing two soft tracks, she inquired,"Mind if I switch to a pop song now?" I casually replied,
"Nah, play whatever you like."
As song begins I focused on the lyrics, my eyes widened, and I questioned,
"What is this?"
"It's 'Hot Gum' by Sofia Isella," she replied, and started singing.
As the song progressed,I found myself envisioning those moments in the present and felt a sudden stiffness in my pants.
When the song concluded,she expressed,"Now I'm tired," and grabbed my arms.
"Thank you baby,for this wonderful evening.I haven't felt this alive in the past few months," she added, planting a peck on my cheeks.
A surge of heat raced through my body like an electric shock.
🖤🖤🖤
She drifted off to sleep on my shoulders, so I postponed the surprise for our next meeting as she is fully wasted now.
As I drove for an hour, she fell to my thighs but remained asleep. I continued driving until we reached her place at 12 am.
I Attempted wake her but she mumbled in her sleep.Leaving no other option,I lifted her in my arms,walked to the gate, and fortunately found it unlocked.I asked for directions, and she sleepily guided,"The right one."I laid her down in a single room, realizing it was her living space.
Started heading back to the car and saw Cole in front of me. I swear,this b*stard disgusts me in every possible way.
"So,what are you doing here, brother?"He asked.
"You don't have to call me brother.I'm here to drop your wife home,"I replied.
Anger flashed in his eyes. "What do you have with her, huh?"
"You don't have the guts to hear it,do you?" I smirked.
"You—" he started to say, but a voice from inside interrupted him,
"Don't yoou darre mesh with may honeey."(Aurora's liquor talk)
I laughed in his face and said, "I hope this night is unforgettable for you. I may leave now."
As I reached home and lay in my bed, I couldn't shake the feeling that I've known every angle of this house, yet now it seems so unfamiliar. And There's something off between these two.
But, pushing aside all these thoughts, one thing lingers in my mind – she kissed me...
And I hope she remembers everything in the morning.
