Enchanted Love

“How dare you have alcohol without my knowledge?” Alina started throwing many things toward Edward, making him jump here and there.

“Darling, it’s not my fault. You know that I never drink.” Edward again jumped when a vessel targeted his legs.

“How did it come to our home?” Alina asked, crossing her arms.

“I thought our friends might want this” Edward mumbled in a low voice

“How did Clara have this?” Alina enquired again.

“I don’t know” Edward pouted and looked in the hall where their friends were still dancing and enjoying themselves.

“This time, your punishment will be severe” Alina doesn’t like whenever Edward buys something unhealthy.

“You will be eating my handmade food” Edward gasped in horror. That must be the worst punishment for him than anything. Alina cooks well but only for starters. When it comes to food, she doesn’t even recognise what is rice and what is bread.

“Baby, please no” Edward tried to convince his fierce wife but she paid no heed to it as she went to the hall to join the dance floor.

“Idiot. Save me!” Alex yelled on the phone as Edward attended the call.

“Where are you?” Edward asked to take his keys already.

“I am near the lion park.” He replied and hung up the call. Alex turned and saw Clara again who was smirking like a hungry lion as if she saw her prey.

“Clara please” Alex took back steps as she slowly walked towards him in her not so stable walk.

“Just a kiss” Clara mumbled again as she slipped to her side and stood up with difficulty.

Her intoxicated state and her red gown surely changed Alex’s state as he was controlling him from pulling her for her wish. Moreover, she pouts whenever she asks for a kiss. Alex grits his teeth and chants for hundred times that she is not that Clara whom he loved. She is the reason for his miseries. He wanted to remind himself of this for a thousand times to not fall into her trap.

Edward and Alina came there for his help and widened their eyes when they saw Clara leaning on Alex for a kiss.

“Omg. How?” Edward asked closing his mouth

“When?” Alina asked, smiling broadly.

“Idiot. Save me first” Alex yelled at his friend when he was locked in a corner and Clara tried to pull him in for a kiss.

“Clara, leave him,” Edward commanded like an elder brother.

“Should I listen to you?” Clara snapped at him annoyingly, making Alina laugh louder.

“No. You are not obliged to listen to him” Alina replied in between her laugh and that made Edward pout more.

“Let’s go home first” Alina tried to grab Clara while she shrugged off her hands.

“Go and fight with your husband. Look at him, he is breathing now” Clara commented with a soft giggle as Alina widened her eyes at her words. Does she fight with Edward for everything? Is that what Clara is telling? Edward controlled his laughter as Alex unknowingly started admiring Clara’s cute unstable voice. She looked too cute and sweet.

“Alex, let’s just go away from this place and never come back,” Clara said to him with a longing in her voice and she saw his eyes with so much hope for him to say yes to everything.

“Ok” Alex replied to her, gaining a twinkle stare from her side as she grinned widely.

“Let’s go,” Alex asked her as he gave his hands.

“Only if you carry me” She threw her hands over his shoulders cutely. One thing is clear: she wanted to do everything which she hides in her heart. Alex gently carries her as she snuggles in his arms like a kid.

“Let’s get her to our home. Her parents would be worried if they saw her in this state.” Edward suggested when he started the car. Alex kept her inside the car as she didn’t want to leave him. Knowing her fear, he sat beside her.

Entering their home, Alina sighed in dismay seeing her friends still dancing like mad.

“Guys, the party is over,” Alina screamed but she pushed away instantly.

“Ask this grandma to get out. We, youngsters, would be having fun today” Clara exclaimed as she pulled the party popper. Edward and Alex slapped their forehead seeing the scenery. The night is going to be long for sure.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Dancing is boring. Let’s play something” Clara pulled the mike and screamed. Everyone clapped for her without realizing her state.

The bottle spins when everyone sits in the round. The bottle stops near Rachel when its backside faces Alex.

“Are you ready?” Rachel asked Alex when both Alex and Clara blinked confused.

“For what?” Clara asked.

“Don’t tell me that you thought this was a boring truth dare game?” Rachel asked with a loud giggle as her friends started laughing with her.

“So what is this game about?” Edward asked, guessing it.

“Kiss it out. Obviously” Rachel winked as Clara paled with her words. Does it mean, Rachel will kiss Alex now?

“No. We were about to play truth daring only. We are not interested in this game.” Clara stood up but the pain in her head made her sit in reflex.

“Go and watch cartoons for your age. No one would be interested in truth or dare games anymore. It’s now kissing it out only.” Rachel is now very excited to kiss Alex.

“It was originally me who sat there,” Edward pouted. Now it’s Alina’s turn to turn into a tigress.

Rachel came near Alex as all clapped and encouraged her to kiss Alex.

Before Alex could protest it, Clara grabbed him with such force that made him land flat over her and her lips contacted his lips. She smiled through the kiss not wanting to part ways with them ever. Alex widened his eyes at her action but he could do nothing as he was on the floor and Clara was over him dominating him in all way.

“That’s not fair. He is not even your husband now” Rachel now is pissed off with Clara’s actions.

The words ringed Clara’s ears when she pushed him gently and glared at him, all registering everything that happened in a few hours. Alex stood up all frustrated. He shouldn’t have come here. He wanted to be away from Clara at any cost but her presence is very toxic and he is scared that he might long for it forever.

“How dare you?” Clara glaring at Alex as if accusing him of the kiss.

Before Alex could come up with an excuse, she slapped him hard on the cheeks startling everyone.

“How dare you kiss me?” She asked again as she pulled his collar. Alex stood there rooted. Didn’t she kiss him before? Why she is accusing him for that?

“It should be me kissing you. Not the other way round” her words startled them even more as she tried kissing him. Rachel opened her mouth wider. That’s when they all realized her unstable walk and intoxicated eyes.

“Alex, get her inside the room. She won’t listen to anyone. Handle her. Everyone is shooting video” Alina whispered.

Alex grabbed her but she was so adamant that she was not ready to move an inch.

“Shall we go there?” Alex tried to divert her attention.

“Only if you let me kiss you” She pouts and Alex sighed in defeat. Little does she know how much she is affecting him. He wanted to just run away from the place so that he doesn’t lose his patience.

“Yeah” he replied and gained loud claps from the audience. Alex glared at Edward for arranging this stupid party in the first place. He needs special treatment but for now, he has to take care of Clara.

Rachel wanted to at least be friends with Alex as Clara left him. But her wish remained unfulfilled as she stomped her foot and left the place.

“Go and coax her” Alina voiced out from behind making Edward widen his eyes. Did she stick to that statement now? No one could save him then.

When Alex and Clara reached the room, she pushed him inside and locked the door swiftly. Alex gasped at her behavior. She always manages to amaze him before. That flavor is visible in her actions now.

“Why did you close the door?” He asked gulping visibly as she slowly walked toward him with a smirk.
