Chapter 26
--
"ARE you going to that party?" Ernaline's eyes rolled in emptiness. That was Perth’s tenth time to ask. After their performance in October Fest, Sinji called her and she said she’s invited on her birthday and the lunatic didn’t even tell her right away so that she could buy a gift for her. She’s wearing a party gray tube cut and a three inch heels. Sinji's birthday will be held at the bar.
A bar where her first performance showcase - the TREV'O 'GRILL. Ernaline went home to their condo earlier just to get dressed. Perth would have delivered him in case it was going to be important.
"Come on, Sinji is already there. And I know Sav is also there" she explained while wearing a black pearl earrings given to her by her older brother. Ernaline’s brother loves to collect antiques so it also looks like an antique.
"I trust you but those two? I can't trust them. It's a bar and it's probably raining alcohol and guys everywhere"
Ernaline got up from her seat and strode away from it. They will even fight over Sinji's birthday party.
"It's Sinji's birthday party so let her be. I'm not going to drink without you so I'll wait for you. Come on, it's already late and you said you'll go somewhere before you get there," she pulled Perth out of his pad . Ernaline was the one who locked it before pulling the man into the elevator again. Perth didn't want to tell the girl where he was going even though she guessed that he was going to HuPoFEL.
"Don't worry about me okay? I'll be a good girl"

Dezrail did nothing to take the girl to TOG for Sinji’s birthday party. Even when the taste of women is really weird.
After he delivered, he immediately went straight to a restaurant where the young man would meet. An old man called him and said that he wanted to talk to him about his parents' death. He didn't want to dismiss this case that gave him the hint.
After he parked his car in front of the restaurant, he immediately got uot from his car and locked it. He walked into the restaurant in a daze, only a few people inside were cursed by a waiter.
"Any reservation sir?" the waiter smiled at him as Dezrail stepped at the entrance of the restaurant.
"None, but I have someone to meet here. His name is Peter Soriano" he answered.
"This way Sir" took Dezrail to a corner of the resto where his encounter was. An elderly man exposed himself to him, wearing a three piece suit while smoking a cigarette.
"Fynrell, have a seat please" she greeted the young man when she saw him. The waiter left them before Dezrail sat down in front of the old man.
"What is it do you want to tell me?" there was no ambiguity of the young man's words which made the old man laugh.
"You really look like him Dezrail." He said that he would still shake.
"If you don’t have anything to say, I might end up your life for wasting my time!"
"Hold it right there young man. I'm not playing around here, I really know who planned the death of your parents" the young man stared at the man he was talking to if he was telling the truth.
"Spill"

"OH DAMN! Your wild Ernaline. Wohoo party baby" Sav's loud laugh disappeared. Ernaline was dizzy but they continued to dance in the middle of the dance floor. Screaming and dancing echoed throughout the bar. She thought Sinji pay all for this party but she said his brother took the responsibility. Only now did Ernaline find out that Sinji had a brother and only now did she also realize that Sinji was a very secretive person.
Ernaline already meets Sinji's guy friends and dude they all look like walking Gods on earth. She meets Trevon who’s the owner of this bar, Gun, Thud the playful guy, and Cassius the silent type of guy and Rent the techie-addict says Sin, the one she meets when Perth brought her in HuPoFEL.
Sinji's brother isn't around and the other's because he's in France. If she hadn't just met Perth, she might have fallen in love with one of the men in front of her. Screaming sex-appeal and good looks.
Jasper is also drunk, and Kaizen while Kyle is their reprimand when they go out on the dance floor. There are other guests but most of them are friends of friends in their circle. They have their own table here so no one can disturb them.
"It’s so fun of your party Sin, I hope that my birthday is like this" Ernaline shouted while talking to Sinji. They can't hear each other because of the loud of the music.
"You can have this kind of party. But the question is, your brother will allow it?" Ernaline looked at Saviel. The witch was really good at pissing her off.
"You can, Er. Trev will hand over his bar so anytime you can party here" Sinji shouted back before swallowing the contents of her glass.
"Girls stop that and have a rest. You're drunk" Kyle yelled at them as he pushed the three of them back to their table.
"Don't be a kill joy Kyle, are you just drinking water so you haven't been drunk like those two?" Ernaline was confused about Jasper and Kaizen who hugged each other and had their own world. Kyle just rubbed his own forehead because they couldn't be bothered.
It will be morning but Dezrail is still not yet in the place. As soon as Ernaline arrived here alcohol immediately greeted her. She didn't refuse because Sinji insisted and earlier in the afternoon they were here while she was in a deep sleep so as a result, they were more drunk than her. Her alcohol tolerance was low and she was feeling ill when she sat down, she could never stand again.
"Drink this Ernaline to reduce your intoxication" Gun gave Ernaline some water that she immediately swallowed but she frowned because it was so bitter and so hot in her throat.
"Go with it" she took in his hand a lime with salt. She didn’t know what it was for and she just ate it. The girl’s feeling was getting hot.
"What the fuck Gun why did you give her a tequila?" Ernaline heard Thud scolded on the man. Ernaline ignored them and leaned weakly on the head rest of the sofa after Thud sat down.
"You're crazy Gun, that's why I lost my glasses" Trev said.
"Come on dude, it's fun especially since D is coming. He texted me if Ernaline drank then I said no" Gun laughed while Thud and Trev were just shaken their head.
Is tequila strong enough? Oh well don't mind it and whos this D their talking about? Gun handed her a glass with only clear water or should she say tequila on their term. Ernaline swallowed the contents of the glass one after another. He
She could hardly hold the glass properly because of the blurring of her eyes. The girl's head also hurts because of the noise and the glare of the light.
"Hey, quit giving her that. She’s drunk" Kyle roared and took the glass that should have been for the girl. Ernaline no longer complained that Kyle hugged her and took her away from Gun.
"You're drunk Ernaline. Take a rest okay?" he whispered to the girl but Ernaline only understood the word rest. Ernaline took off her shoes because she was irritated. She also fanned herself because she felt like she was dripping with sweat.
"What are you doing?" Kyle asks her while stripping her dress.
"It feels so hot in here Kyle," Ernaline complained.
Even before Ernaline could take off her clothes completely, someone pulled her arm away from Kyle's side. She could see the man's blurred face. Ernaline just felt his warm arm supporting her back to stand up properly.
"What the fuck are you doing woman?" even blurring Ernaline's vision she forced herself to recognize the man hugging her but the music was loud so she couldn't hear much of what he was saying.
"Get off me." Ernaline struggle from the grip of a man beside her. "When Perth catches you hugging me you'll be killed by him, you know? He's my handsome bodyguard. One of these days I'll make sure to get his heart and make him fall in love with me." She said.
Perth sigh and he rudely carried Ernaline bridal style.
"Who drank here and got drunk like this?" The guy’s voice sounds pissed and he's not talking to her.
Who is this?
"Gun. He mixed the medicine with the tequila that other female guests should have," Cassius replied lazily. "Anyway, I'm living."
The man turned to Gun's seat who was now lying on the table due to drunkenness.
"Trev tell that guy I will kill him and never forget what happens tonight," the man turned around while carrying Ernaline. She didn't know what was going on around. All she knows, she’s lost in total darkness.
