Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 228 - Episode 228: A Long Night.

Everyone is quite drunk except for me and Leo since he knows his limit and he didn't want to get overboard. I'm helping William and Hans walk to the car while Leo is helping Michael since Michael drank like tomorrow is the end of the day and Leo's hands are already full just to take care of him. We put them in the car and we both are looking at each other while sighing.

Leo is pointing at the car and tilting his head.

"Is it really okay if they accidentally throw up in the car? It's not your car and I will feel bad if they throw up on someone else's car especially Becker's car."

I'm crossing my arms and shrugging.

"Uhh, I guess it will be fine as long as we clean it up? It's better for us to clean it up than asking Ernes and the others to clean it up."

Leo is humming.

"Yeah, let's just drive carefully so they don't throw up..."

I chuckle and nod.

"Don't worry, I got this."

We both enter the car and are on our way back home.

I look at the time and it's 11 P.M., I drive the car very carefully while Leo is keeping an eye on the boys in the back seat. He keeps looking back and making sure that nobody throws up and makes a mess on his watch. My phone is vibrating and I grab my phone from my jeans, I look at my phone and Ivonna is messaging me. I carefully read the message and look at the road back and forth. Ivonna is asking me to pick them up because everyone is drunk and she can't handle them on her own. I reply to her message that I will be there in 20 minutes, and she immediately replies to my message with a thumbs-up emoji.

I look at Leo and show him my phone.

"It seems that we are not the only one having a problem here. Ivonna asked me to pick the ladies up since they're all drunk, so I guess we need to drop the boys down first then go to pick them up."

Leo is chuckling and shaking his head.

"It's going to be a long night. Should we just throw these boys out in the middle of the road? It would be funny to see them roaming around the city drunk."

I scoff.

"Oh that would be fun, but I'm afraid that's not a good idea and I don't want to see them in the  morning news."

Leo laughs while looking back at them.

"Anyway, I guess we should hurry and pick the ladies."

I nod in agreement.

We arrive at the mansion, I get out from the car and help William and Hans get out from the car while Leo is carrying Michael who's talking and mumbling words that we both have no idea what's he saying. Leo looks at me pointing at William and Hans, I tilt my head and furrow my forehead. Leo walks toward me and grabs William's arm, he pulls him and carries him. Hans is groaning and he seems to sober up a bit and he thanks me while trying to walk on his own.

Leo looks at me and tilts his head toward the car.

"I think I can't let these two on their own, so you should go without me. Sorry man, you should be able to handle the ladies on your own, right?"

I'm scratching the back of my ear.

"Yeah, I guess."

Leo nods with understanding.

"Alright, you should go now."

I nod and enter the car to pick Ivonna and the others up.

I go full gas and no brakes because they're quite far from the mansion and I wonder why did Emma bring them that far just to have a lady's night. This isn't the first time she brought her friends somewhere far away just to have some fun, I guess I can do nothing but complain about it tomorrow after she sober up.

I look at the map where Ivonna shared her location. I should be close and thankfully I know the roads here so it shouldn't take long for me to find them. I look around and the road is empty and there are barely any cars passing by, I'm starting to get worried since Ivonna hasn't replied to my message for the last 10 minutes, then I make up my mind and I grab my phone to call her because I'm worried.

I'm looking around while hearing my phone dialing in loudspeaker.

"Trevor?"

I look at my phone and it's Ivonna.

"Hey, where are you? I'm almost there. Are you guys doing alright?"

Ivonna is humming.

"We are fine, it's just I have to help Grisell throw up in the bathroom."

I sigh with relief.

"I thought something happened to you guys because you haven't replied to my message."

Ivonna is oohing.

"Sorry, I put my phone in my bag and I think that's when Grisell asked me to help her throw up."

I'm humming while shaking my head.

"No, it's okay. I'm just worried. Anyway, I'm here. Where are you guys?"

I look at the building and it's a restaurant that looks quite fancy, then Ivonna is coming out from the entrance. She looks around while keeping the phone in her ear, I come out from the car and wave at her. She looks at me and puts her phone down, she waves at me and walks towards me with a guilty smile.

"I'm sorry to ask you to pick us up."

I shake my head.

"No, it's fine. I'm used to this kind of thing."

I'm furrowing my forehead and looking at her.

"Why don't you just order a taxi?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"I'm a bit scared to let these girls in a stranger's car. I know it's stupid but I'm just..."

I scoff and nod with understanding.

"Yeah, I understand. Anyway, let's bring the girls home."

Ivonna nods in agreement.

We both enter the restaurant and I'm carrying Emma and Chelsea while Ivonna is carrying Francesca and Grisell. This is the first time I see Grisell and Francesca get so drunk so I guess this is a new experience for me to see them like that. We both are carrying them into the car and making them sit comfortably in the car.

Ivonna is catching her breath while looking at them leaning to each other.

"Let's go home."

I nod and we both enter the car and go back home.

We both are looking at the road and she's crossing her arms and it seems that she's cold, so I turn off the A/C. She looks at me and smiles.

"Thank you. I shouldn't have worn this kind of dress because I should have known it would be cold out here..."

I look at her dark blue merry dress that shows her shoulders and her knees. I nod and smile.

"But you look good in those though like it really suits you very well."

Ivonna immediately looks at her dress and then looks at me.

"Thank you, I love this dress because Chessi made it for me. You can say that this is a one-of-a-kind dress and I'm the only one who has it."

I'm humming with understanding.

"Ahh, no wonder."

Chelsea suddenly wraps her arms around Ivonna's neck from behind and she's peeking at Ivonna.

"Ivy! You haven't explained to us why are you interested in Trevor! You said he's handsome but we all know that already, so tell us another reason why you're interested in him!"

I'm slowly raising my eyebrows and just focusing on driving the car. I don't want to turn my head and just pretend I didn't hear anything, but I can slightly see Ivonna is grimacing while closing her eyes in embarrassment, and then I can feel her gaze towards me. Chelsea keeps saying it over and over and it makes Ivonna really uncomfortable.

I scoff and look at Ivonna.

"I would be lying if I said that I'm not interested in you. So you don't have to feel embarrassed about it."

Chelsea looks at me and squints her eyes then she looks at Ivonna.

"You hear that, Ivy? The driver is interested in you."

Chelsea looks at me and squints her eyes.

"Driver! Don't! She's not interested in you because she's already interested in someone else!"

We both look at Chelsea and we start snorting and then laughing so hard. Chelsea is furrowing her forehead while looking at us and she unwraps her arms from Ivonna's neck and leans on her seat while mumbling something that we can't hear what's she saying. We both are still laughing about it and she thought that I'm a taxi driver or something.

We finally arrive at the mansion, and I'm helping Emma and Chelsea walk. We both enter the mansion and go upstairs to put them on the bed. Ivonna tells me to put them all in her room so everyone can sleep together, and without complaining, I walk them into Ivonna's room and put them in her bed.

We both are looking at them hugging each other while still wearing their dress. Ivonna crosses her arms and looks at them.

"I'm going to remove their dress."

I nod.

"Alright then, good night."

Ivonna looks at me and smiles.

"Thank you for picking us up, Trev.. Good night."
