Day Seventy-Seven…
~~*****~~
After an hour, Hanabi started to feel tipsy. Alexander, on the other hand, could still hold his liquor. Both of them continued drinking.
Hanabi became talkative as time went by while Alexander listened to her rant. "I can't understand why someone can still continue to love the person who hurt her… just like my sis Jane. I can't understand why people become stupid because of love… just like you." "I'm a bit insulted. I'm not stupid," Alexander retorted, trying to defend himself.
But Hanabi giggled as she mocked him. "You allowed yourself to be deceived by that bitch. Such a weakling."
Alexander pursed his lips, getting annoyed. "Why? Haven't you ever fallen in love?"
Hanabi burst out laughing again. "I don't have to. I don't need a man!"
"That's the reason you will never understand us. You will just know once you experience love," Alexander said meaningfully.
"Let's stop drinking. You are already drunk." Alexander snatched her glass, stopping her from drinking further.
"It's clear that you lose to me this time," he added.
But Hanabi shook her head vehemently. "I'm not drunk yet. We have to finish this!" she insisted.
Alexander could only watch her helplessly. "Don't regret it. I've warned you already."
Alexander handed her glass back. He just silently watched her, checking how long she could go on before passing out. Hanabi spoke again. This time she began talking about Tatsumi.
"I wonder what he is feeling right now. Is he suffering from a broken heart? He has been looking forward to this engagement. He likes my sis very much. However, she likes someone else. He might also be shocked when he heard Vincent's revelation."
"Who are you talking about?" Alexander asked with a deep frown on his face. "Are you worried about this guy? Do you like him?"
Hanabi let out another chuckle. "Don't get me wrong. I don't like him. He is my worst rival. But being his comrade, I'm worried about him a little. He is the dumbest guy I know. And the most stubborn one. I'm referring to Tatsumi…"
Alexander fell silent for a moment. He knew Tatsumi… Jane's fiancé. He understood now since he was aware that Jane liked Nathan Sparks. "Stop talking about other people. Why don't you talk about yourself? Tell me more." Alexander had enough. He didn't want to hear anything more related to Jane, Nathan, Tatsumi, and Vincent.
Part of him wanted to get to know more about this annoying woman in front of him. Alexander believed that he couldn't talk to her like this once she sobered up. He wanted to seize this opportunity. This fierce woman piqued his interest. He couldn't explain why.
"Nothing is interesting about me. What do you want to know? I'm just a simple person who dedicates my life to serving the Sawada Clan and protecting Jane. She's like a sister to me." Her eyes gleamed whenever she spoke about Jane.
"Is it true? Haven't you fallen in love yet?" Alexander asked her again out of curiosity. "No. I don't believe in that. I am an independent woman. I'll never rely on a man," she replied with conviction.
"Hmm. I guess you like women more. Maybe you want Jane for yourself. Are you bi or gay?" he presumed. "Or perhaps… you are a man-hater."
Thud!
Hanabi smacked Alexander's forehead.
"Argh!" Alexander groaned, rubbing his forehead. No one had ever tried smacking his forehead before. This woman was truly violent toward him.
"Hmm. I didn't realize that. Should I try dating a woman?" Hanabi didn't argue with him. She just played along with his assumption.
She giggled once again and emptied her wine glass. She kept on drinking.
Meanwhile, Alexander stared at her intently. "Do you want me to find out your real preference?" "How?"
"Let a guy kiss you. Check out if you won't like a man kissing you. Then women might be your preference," Alexander suggested.
When she heard that, Hanabi stopped drinking. She placed her glass on the table as she gazed at him.
She didn't know what had gotten into her. But in her drunken state, she rose from her seat and sat down next to Alexander.
Alexander, on the other hand, watched her in confusion. "What? Do you feel offended again?"
Hanabi shook her head, flashing a wide grin.
"Why are you smiling like a fool?" Alexander asked, lifting his eyebrow.
However, instead of answering him, Hanabi leaned closer to him, cupping his face using both hands.
Caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, Alexander found himself in a moment he hadn't anticipated. Hanabi, with a sudden burst of boldness, closed the distance between them, sealing their connection with a surprising kiss. The warmth of her lips against his was both startling and intriguing.
In that surprising instant, Alexander sat there with wide-eyed surprise, the initial shock giving way to a subtle curiosity. Hanabi's lips moved against his, and as he reciprocated, he couldn't help but wonder if this bold move was, in fact, her first kiss. The way her lips danced, revealing a certain innocence in their rhythm, hinted at a lack of experience.
As Alexander closed his eyes, surrendering to the unexpected intimacy, he pondered the significance of this unexpected kiss. The unspoken tension between them added an air of mystery to the moment, leaving Alexander to navigate the uncharted territory of emotions and newfound connection.
In the haze of the moment, Alexander couldn't discern whether the sensation enveloping him was a result of the alcohol coursing through his veins or the unexpected fervor of Hanabi's kiss. The mingling flavors of wine and beer lingered on their lips as their kiss intensified.
As the seconds ticked by, Alexander found himself taking charge of the kiss. His initial surprise had given way to a newfound boldness, and he guided the rhythm of their passionate kiss. The taste of her lips, the subtle sweetness mixed with the lingering essence of alcohol, created a unique blend that seemed to intensify the connection between them.
Caught up in the intensity of their kiss, Alexander found himself fully engaged in the moment when, unexpectedly, Hanabi abruptly pushed him away with an urgency, breaking the kiss. Before he could utter a single word, Hanabi threw up in a sudden fit of nausea. Her vomit splattered across his chest and lap, leaving an awkward and unfortunate aftermath.
"What the fuck?" Alexander massaged his temples as Hanabi continued vomiting, soaking his clothes and pants.
