I sat on the bar counter as soon as we came inside the bar looking around if there is anyone I know. I was enjoying my glass of brandy when I saw a familiar face.
"What the heck?! Why is he here?" I mumbled.
"Hey! Princess why your just sitting down here?" My brother asked.
"Why is he here?" I hissed.
"Because we're bestfriend? And besides he's also Karina's friend.
"So?"
Grey shook his head. "You two should learn how to get along. WE're living on the same roof."
"I think that won't happen."
Ariel saw us and come to greet us.
"What?" I asked raising my brows on him.
"Nothing," He said then looked at my brother.
"Bro, guess who asked about you after the game?"
"Who?" Grey, raising his brows on him.
"Jerly"
My brother's jaw dropped. "You better not be kidding me."
"I'm freakin' serious dude." He promised. "And oh, I told her you're going to Karina's party."
"How'd you know that I'd go here?"
"Had a hunch, and besides we had the same circle of friends."
I let them talk and try to survey the room. I took whisky from the counter as I finish my alcohol before.
"Whisky?" My brother asked.
"Are you stalking me?"
"Why whisky?"
"I like it better than any other hard drinks. Seriously, you don't need to look after me. I can handle myself." I said trying to assure him.
He threw his hands up as if he surrenders before making his way out to the dance floor, immersing himself with a lot of girls.
"Once a flirt, always a flirt." I told myself.
And I learned from the best.
After that I got drunk and dance as if there is no tomorrow.
~~**~~
I woke up in the morning from the sunlight streaming through my window, and throbbing head.
I didn't remember any of my memories from last night and my head hurts every time I force myself to remeber.
I lied in bed for a few more minutes before going out and go to the kitchen.
The apartment was empty.
What's going on?
I pulled the apple juice from the fridge and poured in my glass and open the kitchen cabinets as I drink my juice. I am looking for a paracetamol or any pain reliever.
As I finally found the medicine kit, Ariel came in wearing nothing but jogging pants and a wristband.
"Where's Grey?" I asked him.
He didn't even bother to look at me and walk to his room.
Such a jerk.
I just took my medicine. I couldn't help but to notice the increased amount of prescriptions on Grey's name.
"What are you doing?" I turn around to see the owner of the voice coming from my back.
"Looking for pain reliever!" I lied.
"It's not there." He scoffed.
"This is the medicine kit!"
He rolled his eyes giving me one from the fridge.
"That's all Grey's medicine." He said which made me more confused.
"You're joking"
He open the orange juice bottle and went to drink.
"Stop!" I shouted
The bottle of juice dropped on the floor causing it to break.
"What was that for?" He asked looking pissed.
"You're going to drink on the bottle." I said looking at him while cleaning the glasses on the floor.
"Yeah." He then took another juice then drink on it.
I felt like I was going to puke.
"You drunk some from here?" He said smirking.
"You're disgusting." I scoffed looking at him angrily.
He just smirked at me.
Now I'm totally pissed.
I reached for his little buddy down there and kick it off that makes him groan in pain.
"What the hell is going on here?" I immediately turned my gaze to the owner of the voice.
"This bestfriend of yours just drink from the carton of juice." I complained.
Grey just stare at us. I used that time to stand up.
"Grace, you have to take a mop." My brother said looking at me intently.
"Why don't you ask Ariel to clean it up?" I complained. " I was not the one who spill the juice on the floor." I said crossing my arms into my chest.
"That's enough." Grey said, trying to shut me up.
"You have to take shower Ariel. You fucking stink." He told Ariel.
He looked at me smirking as if he's telling that he wins.
"Urghh! Jerk!"
"Oh, take responsibility for this one, would you?"
I was just staring at him as if I am saying that I feel betrayed.
"I'm sorry, let me clean this up." He sighed.
He started mopping the floor as I am sitting on top of the bar counter and ask him.
"So, what's up? Why did you go out early?" I questioned.
He was just silent as he mop the floor.
"What?" I asked again.
"I got a phone call this morning." He said plainly.
"Did you get a girl pregnant?"
His eyes widened." What?"
"Just asking."
He rolled his eyes. " No, shut up and listen would you?"
I gesture like I was zipping my mouth.
"It was from mom."
I rolled my eyes. " Not where I thought this was going."
"They were boarding their flight this morning." He continued, ignoring my remarks.
"Where to today?" I asked him.. Since we're the ones who come to them everytime.
"Here."
I felt that my heart stopped beating. "WHAT?"
"Mom and dad are headed here."
"Why?"
"Why do you think?"
I continued looking at him, unsure of the reason why.
"To check on you."
"I'm fine."
"They want to see for themselves." He shrugged.
I groaned ," No, you're lying."
Grey just laugh at me.
After a few moments, I decided to go inside my bedroom.
I was stunned when the doorbell rang. This is frustrating.
I have this feeling that this scene will never end well for me.
Especially that we have Ariel here as our housemate.
I hope they will not insist what they want for me.
Oh what a day.
