It's hard for me get drunk, almost impossible. It's not my first time winning a race but the fun hits different every time.
I'm drinking and jumping with everyone along the music when someone taps me on the shoulder. It's Connor.
"Hey, man. Your wife got into a fight" He says and it took me a moment to realise he's talking about Rose.
"Ok and?" I say.
"She's drunk, come with me" he says.
"I don't care. You shouldn't too. Come join us" I drink some more.
"She's drunk, you need to come with me" he grabs my wrist and pulls me. I roll my eyes.
"I apologised, ok?" Rose says to a girl with a bob cut. I walk towards them.
"And what do I do with your stupid apology? You've ruined my dress" the girl glares at her.
"I'm sorry ok? I stumbled" Rose says and it's actually quite impressive how nice she's being to someone so bitchy but I stay quiet.
"Gosh, you're a drunk mess" the girl rolls her eyes at Rose. I agree.
"At least I'm not wearing a fake Gucci and pretending it's real" Rose says and I scoff at how she can tell that the dress is fake even when she's drunk.
"What did you say?" the girl glares at her.
"You heard me. This dress is a rip-off. I was trying to be nice but you don't deserve it." I wrap my hands around my chest, enjoying the drama.
"And you know what you deserve?" The girl says before pushing her hard. Rose stumbles back and she quickly grabs a glass of drink and throws it on her.
I laugh as the girl lunges at her to attack more but I step forward blocking her.
"Enough" I say. I grab Rose's arm and pull her away from.
"What is your problem?" I look down at Rose, my grip on her arm is firm.
"She was attacking me" she says.
"She wouldn't have if you didn't stumble into her" I say and gritt my teeth.
She yank her arm away from my grasp.
"Go home" I say.
"With who?" She says and I remember that she's drunk. I close my eyes and sigh.
Of Course. How is it possible that she's around and doesn't cause any problems for me.
I don't have any other choice but to take her home. Only a year. I remind myself
I walk towards the car and pull her by her wrist. She sits in the car and I drive her home.
I reach my home and look at her.
She's sleeping. She's asleep in my car. Oh God. She's insufferable even when she's sleeping.
I get out of the car and enter my house. If she's asleep in the car then it's not my problem.
I walk upstairs to my room and lay down on the bed.
My body is tired from all the partying.
❥❥❥❥
I wake up to the sound of loud knocking on my door. I groan as I get up and walk towards the door. I open it.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I say rubbing my eyes.
"What is your problem, huh? You left me sleeping in the car all night?" She says.
"So what?" I say as I glare down at her.
"So what? You know how bad my back hurts?" She glares back at me.
"You should've thought about that before sleeping in my car" I say.
"I was drunk!" she says through gritted teeth.
"I don't care" with that I slam the door shut.
I quickly get ready and head out. I sit in my car and drive to Sage.
People greet me as I enter my office and sit on my chair.
I quickly go through some documents. I do need an assistant.
I open my computer and there are emails, but one catches my eye. Carlos&Co.
I open it and read through it. Carlos&Co. is the biggest investment company in Spain and they are asking if we'd like them to invest in our new collection. It is a great opportunity right now.
I quickly text Rose to come to my office. I don't want to deal with her but I don't have any other choice.
She knocks and open the door.
"Yeah?" she walks closer to my table. I gesture her to sit down. She sits across from me.
"Carlos&Co emailed me, they want to invest in our new collection" I say.
"Carlos&Co? You mean, Carlos Martin?" She asks.
I nod. "I think it would be a good idea"
"I think so too but should we talk to dad and uncle?" She raises her eyebrows.
"No. We are supposed to make our own decisions." I say and she nods.
"So, I think I should invite them to London and hold a business meeting on Monday" I say.
"Umm we can't, not on Monday." She says.
"Why not?" I ask.
"We have a trip to go to." She reminds me and I roll my eyes.
Oh God.
Only a year. I remind myself.
"How long is this trip" I gritt my teeth.
"A week, I think" she says.
A week? Dad, what the hell.
Why does he think it's a normal marriage and he's sending us on a freaking honeymoon.
"I'm going to shorten our trip" I say.
"Yeah you should. The shorter the better" she says and stands up.
"Also, I've been working on the designs" she tells me and leaves my office.
The door closes after her. I write an email and send it to the investment company's email address.
My eyes stop on the metal around my finger, reminding me of this stupid trip again. Only a year.
