Derek Got Drunk

Amelia scrolled through her Instagram, and saw many posts of Derek from a nightclub. It looked like he was enjoying himself, but Amelia was not at all enjoying looking at his pics with other women.Derek was just trying to distract himself, also his friends had dragged him to the nightclub so that they could enjoy with him before he goes away. Amelia sighed and tried going back to sleep, but the pain in her cheeks and back was hurting her. Gianna had unintentionally struck her past wound in her back with the cane. Amelia stood up with a groan and went to the kitchen, to get some ice. She smelled the fresh aroma of macaroni and cheese, her all-time favorite. She saw Gianna making it and Charlie was sitting by her leg. She closed the lid to let it cook and turned to Charlie, she picked him up in her arms."Charlie, how should I apologize to Amelia? Should I give her some gift? Will this macaroni and cheese make her forgive me? I need to do something more, uhm what to do... what to do... Yes! First you have to forgive me, then I'll do something about Amelia, right? First, it's you who has to forgive me." Gianna said and rubbed his fur. He whined and looked away, but then licked her cheek and barked once."You forgive me, right!?" Gianna said happily, Amelia smiled, how could she forget, Gianna was the kindest soul she ever saw on this earth. On surface, she might seem angry, but in her heart she must have been very sad and upset about herself for hitting her. Gianna sensed someone breathing in the kitchen except herself and Charlie, she turned towards the entrance and concentrated."Amelia?" Gianna asked. "Uhm... yes, it's me. Don't worry, I'll leave you alone, I am just here to take some ice packs." Amelia said in a low voice. Gianna was about to speak when, she was interrupted by a stomach growling sound. Amelia got shy and hurriedly rushed towards the fridge."Ice packs? Are you very hurt?" Gianna asked in fear."N-No, it's nothing, bye. Bon appétit." Amelia said and was running out of the kitchen, when Gianna stopped her, holding her wrist."Don't take advantage of my blindness and vanish into thin air without answering me." Gianna said sternly, making Amelia gulp in fear. "I... I was hit on my past wound, so the swelling has resurfaced... in the back. But! But it's fine! These injuries are normal, I am habi-" Gianna lightly smacked her head and took the ice pack from her."What normal!? Idiot! Stupid brat! Always creating problems!" Gianna exclaimed harshly. She took Charlie's leash, and went towards Xavier room, which was on the first floor itself. She knocked the room, he opened the door for her."Gianna? Is everything alright?" "Yeah... but can you call a doctor? Amelia... she's hurt, she needs first aid." Xavier immediately called his family cum mafia doctor and told him to come with his team.Amelia was being treated by the doctors, after getting treated, Gianna gave her a full bowl of macaroni and cheese. Amelia was shocked yet tempted to have the whole bowl. She started eating, making Gianna smile in satisfaction."From tomorrow, you have to eat porridge only for a week." Gianna said."WHAT!? Porridge? Noo....!" Her voice died down when Gianna's eyes went in sharp shape. "Eat." Amelia immediately went back to eating.Xavier was watching from the doorway, he smiled as he saw the sisters bond strengthened even more. There were no more lies between their relationship anymore."I am really very sorry for hitting you, but you have to consider your actions also, what you did was not right at all." Gianna said, Amelia kept the big bowl aside and held Gianna's hand between her hands."I know, and I regret what I have been doing. I don't even deserve to be forgiven." "No, I accept your sincere apology, but I will do so on one condition." Gianna said determined about her decision."Yes, I'll agree to anything!" Amelia said."Promise me, from now on, you will never hide any dangerous or life-threatening or suspicious things from me, ever. You can keep your personal affairs to yourself, I won't interfere in your life any more than that, but please let me know things which will matter to me if you don't inform me." Gianna said, her tears were gathering in her eyes. She placed the ice pack on her cheeks, which made her wince a little."Also, I'm sorry once again for hitting you like that, I will never do so ever again." Gianna said when she observed the warmness on her cheek."Yes Anna, I promise to never hide anything from you, dangerous or not, and you can hit me whenever you want! I can even publish a book of my deeds for you, I swear on my life--""Shut up, stupid!" Gianna said while chuckling and wiping away the tears which had finally shed from her eyes. Xavier chuckled looking at the duo and left them alone, to cherish their moment alone."So? How do you know Derek is leaving for Norway? I never heard anything like that from Xavier?" Gianna's curiosity piqued when she remembered Amelia's words. "He registered his name in university for foreign education for his masters and PhD..." Amelia said in a sad tone."Do you like him?" Gianna asked, and immediately Amelia's cheeks warmed."Uhm... yes, I have started liking him..." Amelia said in a soft voice."Does he know about this?" Amelia denied and sighed in grief."Then what are you planning to do? Are you going to let your feelings be buried in your heart, or are you going to express them?" Gianna initiated a push in her heart."Well... it doesn't matter anymore, he's leaving by the end of this month after graduation and possibly won't come back for 4–5 years." Amelia said and sighed. "Hmm... I would suggest, don't give up on your feelings, let them run wild, and they will take you to an amazing adventure." Gianna cheered her up, and Amelia smiled and went back to eating her favorite food. Gianna's shoulder sagged in relief, she knew Amelia was bold enough to take up her suggestion. --Derek returned home a little drunk. He was stammering a bit, his shirt was halfway open, and his tie was also open, making him look extra hotter than usual. (Image on top for reference)Amelia was coming down slowly, to place her bowl and used ice packs. She saw Derek sitting on the couch with his head slumped on the couch support and faced towards the ceiling. Amelia took slow steps towards him. He suddenly looked straight at her, making her steps halt and retreat."Stop." Derek said, Amelia frowned in confusion."Why are you here?" Derek asked her."You already know the answer, you saw everything, right? I was here to meet my sister, but we had an argument." Amelia said and sighed."Was that the only reason? Why were you staring at me so intently then?" Derek said and moved closer to her. She could smell alcohol stench coming from him."Why do you care? MY eyes, MY choice, who are YOU to interrogate me?" Derek laughed loudly in response and stopped suddenly."As feisty as always... You know? This is what I like about you..." Derek said in a drunk voice, and was about to slump down on the floor, when Xavier caught his arm from behind. He had witnessed everything. He was very unsure why he was witnessing new things today."Go get some rest, Amelia. I'll take care of this brat.""Fratelloooo! I'm not a brat! I'm the most dashing hot hunk found in the wholeeee campus! OH!! Not campuss, in the wholeee world." Derek said with his eyes closed and drunken manner, while expressing the whole world with his arms spreading in the air, Xavier lips twitched, and he sarcastically smiled."Yes, you are dashing dirt in the whole world." Xavier said and smacked his head."Noooo... not dirt, it's hunkk!" Derek said, earning a kick on his butt, as Xavier ushered him towards his room. Amelia stood there in confusion. Derek said he liked her feisty nature? Or everything about her? Does he like me too? These questions were running wild in her brain, but she sighed as she soon started feeling sleepy. The effects of medicines must have kicked in. --Brinley sighed as she turned the pages of Adam and her engagement and other photos in album. She was already missing him, even though it has been not even a day since he left for work. She especially loved to store the memories in a photo album.She was about to close the album, when suddenly she received a call from Adam himself! Such a coincidence it was."Adam! Did you reach safely? Are you tired? Did you have your lunch or dinner!? Did you face any problem going there? Did you get some sleep? Are you--""My love, one question at a time, please... I cannot answer these many questions at a time. And yes, I reached safely.""Phew... thank god. Now tell me everything!" Brinley ordered, earning a chuckle from his side.Brinley and Adam talked and talked for an hour before Brinley started feeling sleepy. She went to sleep while Adam was speaking. Adam noticed the silence and smiled. He knew it was 11.30PM there in NY and 7:30AM in morning in Dubai. So he sighed as he looked at his schedule, he won't be able to talk with her for upcoming 3–4 days. He unwillingly cancelled the call, to not disturb her sleep, and stared at their wallpaper in his phone. He smiled as he saw her smiling brightly while looking at him.----
