I'M DRUNK, I WANT YOU (A MayWard Fanfiction) ✔

III. Ed & Dale

My girl?

Maymay's forehead creased in confusion as her brain finally registered the new comer's words. Her eyes are on his face now, gazing intently like as if she is studying a very curious specimen under a miscroscope.

When it comes to looks, the new guy could certainly hold a candle against the handsome but git of a blondie who is pestering her at the moment. And that she's saying even when she's in her semi drunken state and with just barely decent illumination. She can see how expressive his dark eyes are; with those long lashes, high aristocratic nose, fittingly huge forehead, arrogant thin lips and a bit splayed thick eyebrows, he definitely looks a halfie, not to mention, very expensive. If she is to be honest, she even finds him way more attractive than mister asshole blondie on her other side.

"Who are you?" As if on cue with her thoughts though, blondie spat acidly to the new guy.

The new guy didn't answer right away. Instead, she saw him pulled a little smirk that for whatever reason, made her swallow a non-existing lump in her throat.

God why does it look so damn sexy and hot? She thought.

Surprised by the terms that popped in hear head, she immediately looked away from his face, hiding the blush that she sure felt came though in actuality, no one seemed to have notice happened in that dimlit room anyway.

"I should be asking that question. Who are you and why is your hand on my girlfriend's wrist?" The new guy replied confidently. Like as if what he's saying is nothing but the whole truth actually.

And that made her eyes widened. "Excuse me but I don't......" She faced him again and was already about to deny what he said but her words were suddenly caught in her throat as she felt his hand snaked around her thin waist and pulled her into a half embrace.

She gasped. What the heck?! From one asshole to another? Really? Oh what luck!

She tilted her head to give both men a piece of her mind but mister new guy quickly leaned down and whispered to her ear, "Just play along. If you want to get rid of this jerk then just do what I say. Don't worry I am not going to do anything that you won't like. I promise."

She shivered. A different kind of shiver from that of which is induced by fear or disgust for that matter. He is very close. Way too close for her own good. She could even feel his voice pleasantly resonating on her ear, as well as smell his warm, minty-alcoholish breath against her cheek. And those evoke such sensations that are making every fiber of her body tingle in ticklish delight.

Juskolord!

She knew what was happening. She's a virgin but she sure wasn't that naive. She's getting turned on by this sexy and handsome stranger without even trying! Without doing anything that can be considered as remotely sexual on her dictionary.

Juskolord talaga!

Her epiphany was interrupted when she felt her wrist just got suddenly free from mister blondie's grip though. Then she heared him snort before waved his hand dismissively on their faces and finally walked away.

She followed him with her eyes. But not until when he's completely out of her sight did she manage to release a relieved sigh.

The man beside her chuckled, making her suddenly very much aware of his chiselled chest that is now bobbing against hers.

"That's deep." He said, sounding amused. After, he casually released her from his hold too.

She couldn't explain the rush of disappointment she felt at that separation though.

Nabuang na talaga 'ko! She shook head, attempting to get rid of the weird cobwebs that surround her thoughts.

"Hey are you alright?" He asked. Now worry is evident in his velvety voice.

She looked at him and blushed. "Huh? Yeah yeah I'm fine. Don't worry, just feeling a bit lightheaded. It suddenly got hot and crowded in here somehow."

What she said is not a total lie because she really feels a bit dizzy and confused at the moment, but certainly not because of those excuses that she just mentioned. In truth, it was actually his very presence. But she couldn't tell him that of course.

"Do you want to go outside and get some fresh air?" He offered.

She nodded. "That sounds good."

She's about to go already but then she heared him say......

"Okay, let's go then."

She instantly halted. "Teka sasama ka?" Completely astonished, she then asked.

"Of course." He said a matter of factly which surprised her even more. "I shouldn't let a drunk and dizzy beautiful lady go out by herself. That guy earlier was not the only jerk in the world you know." And then explained casually with a shrug.

"Hey I'm not drunk. Medyo tipsy lang." She argued back.

But despite that, the unexpected compliment certainly triggered another blush which she decided to mask with a laugh.

Eventually he joined her as well.

"Alright. My apologies. Let me rephrase that. Just tipsy, not drunk." After, he added indulgingly with a sincere smile. "Don't worry miss. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't do anything that would intentionally upset you in any way so please, let me just accompany you outside."

She couldn't figure it out but there's something about the man that made her instantly believe his words.

Maybe I'm really losing it now. Right.
Her sarcastic thoughts to herself but in the end, she decided to just agree anyway.

"Fine." She mused breathily and flashed a polite smile.

"By the way, how rude of me to not introduce myself properly. My name is Ed." He offered his hand.

She looked at his hand, seemingly lost in her thoughts for a couple of seconds before finally accepting it with a genuine smile on her face this time.

"Mine's Dale. Nice to meet you Ed."
