-Did he want to drink again?
-She didn’t get enough to drink, so did she want to continue?
-Or is he in a bad mood?
Thinking about this, Nathan glanced at Yanis unconsciously. He found no sign of sadness, no sweet laughter on his face, his eyes were shining in the reflection of the light.
-I just want to drink a little, besides, beer is not the same as alcoholic drinks, it is not so easy to get drunk, don’t worry, I won’t lie to you,” Yanis said.
Nathan closed his mouth slightly and did not answer.
He was not afraid of trouble, he just did not want to see him say another man’s name in front of himself when he was getting drunk.
-Yes or no? -asked Yanis with his head bowed, seeing that she didn’t say anything, she was very charming and sweet.
When he saw her monkey act, Nathan unconsciously nodded his head and swallowed saliva.
-Thank you! -Nathan answered.
With Nathan’s permission, Yanis ran to the address with happiness quickly, Nathan looked at him with narrowed eyes.
-Did he pamper me? -Nathan thought.
No doubt Yanis came here to approve of the gastronomic delights, he bought a lot of barbecue and some beer. Yanis poured the beer into Nathan’s and his glass and then raised the glasses to toast.
-Come on, here’s to us! -Yanis said.
But Nathan did not understand him.
-Even though all of Alice’s relatives are together, we accompany each other. Even though we are in a foreign country, we can eat and drink here with someone next to us, it’s the happiest thing for us, isn’t it? -Yanis explained.
Nathan thought he was right, so he nodded.
Yanis raised his head and took the beer at once, his way of drinking it was very heroic, and poured it into both of their glasses at once.
-Let’s go on, uncle, let’s not get enough, we won’t come back,” she said.
-Stop drinking so much, don’t forget what you said when you came into the store,” Nathan answered.
-What? Well, I don’t remember what I said, anyway, I won’t get drunk, we are walking, and if you are getting drunk, lean on my arm,” said Yanis.
Nathan was speechless, and thought, -I lean on your arm? With your body so weak?
-Do you have the confidence to support me with your weak body? I don’t want to hurt you if I fall,” Nathan laughed and said.
-It’s impossible,” Yanis explained unsatisfactorily, “don’t underestimate me. I am strong, if you are getting drunk without any conscience, I am able to take you home. If you effectively fall and throw yourself at me completely, you won’t do me any harm.
-Throw yourself at her? -Nathan thought, which reminded him of having sex, the image flashed through his mind, but he pushed it out of his mind immediately, blushing quickly.
-Aha, we haven’t started drinking yet, why are you turning as red as a tomato? -Yanis asked.
However, Yanis did not know what she was thinking, and thought it was all because of the alcohol, so she teased him, -You are not able to drink much, huh?
Nathan looked at her and said, “You don’t understand me.
Yanis noticed his head attentively, and said, -No, I understand you just fine! But, don’t worry, I won’t divulge it. I know you are sensitive about your reputation, like what happened at noon, I just didn’t have your feelings in mind, and I said something wrong, you are so vindictive.
After these words, Yanis began to pour more beer into his glass, at first he toasted Nathan symbolically, but each time he did so, Nathan urged him to drink.
At last Yanis stopped toasting with him simply, he drank only, and did not want to talk to him.
Without noticing how much time passed, Yanis noticed that their faces were hot, and he felt dizzy, he supported his head with his hands, while looking at Nathan with blurred eyes.
-You are blushing more! -Yanis shouted.
Although it was the truth, it seemed that Nathan was sitting down calmly, and was approving of the food with his chopsticks little by little. Under Yanis’ gaze, the temperature of his face continued to rise.
After a while Nathan raised his head and met her gaze.
-Why are you looking at me? Are you full already? -Yanis asked.
Looking at the person in front of her, Yanis shook her head vigorously, but found two silhouettes, she saw double.
-Aha! There are two Nathan,” said Yanis.
And then, he laughed loudly.
When Nathan saw that, he put down his chopsticks, and thought without remedy, “He told me he would never get drunk, and he was able to drink, but that’s the result.
-It looks like you are full,” Nathan said, and then went to the cashier. He thought he would walk Yanis home, but when he paid for the meals, he found that Yanis was heading for the streets, stumbling.
Nathan changed color, and immediately went ahead.
But Yanis staggered and was about to make him fall, Nathan raised his hands and caught him in his arms.
Boom!
Yanis’ soft cheeks collided against Nathan’s chest, he lowered his head and found that her face was puckering from the blow, and said desperately, -Why don’t you wait for me on the seat? You’re already getting drunk, how can you go home alone, and stick both your feet out!
Yanis was mumbling, it seemed that he had not heard Nathan’s words, he urged him on and kept walking, while he said, -no… don’t follow me, I can… I can drink more. Here’s to health!
Nathan went forward and grabbed his slender wrist, and reproached, -collaborate, hey! We’ll go back and talk about it later.
-No, I’m not going home, there is no one waiting at home, I don’t want to leave -Yanis cried, his eyes were full of tears, which made his eyes shine more, he looked very poor.
-Let’s go for a walk to relax, shall we? -she asked.
-For a walk? It’s freezing cold, she said she wanted to go for a walk now, is she kidding? -Nathan thought.
But Nathan did not know how she would refuse his request, he supported her gently and said, “No problem, but not now… It is already very late, we have to go home.
Yanis was still insistent with her action, but she was not as strong as Nathan, besides, she was getting drunk, so she was taken home quickly.
When they returned, Nathan helped her to lie down on the couch.
This time Yanis was not as loud as before, the last time she had been drunk, she had been screaming for a long time. Although she was noisy in the street today, she had been quiet since they had returned home.
When Nathan helped him back into the room, Yanis immediately took off his coat and ran straight to his bed. He lay down on the bed, some strange sounds coming out of his mouth.
Nathan adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to the most comfortable setting, and then tucked her in. When he saw that she had fallen asleep, he left the room.
She washed herself in the bathroom and when she finished, Kennedy and Alice had not yet returned.
Nathan was at Yanis’ bedroom door for a while, it was quiet inside, and he went to the balcony, getting bored.
At George’s house.
At that moment, the servants set the table nicely, Dylan was next door, he looked at everyone present, and exclaimed, -it seems it was never so lively here.
