"Your men drunk me.....so its your responsibility..."
Bella could feel her head sway from side to side as she moved. Her body fought the intoxication in her system to keep her eyes wide open.
She could hear the others shout cheers to her as she took another glass down her throat.
...
Enzo had kept to his promise and took each glass they passed her but when he received a call and excused himself. His so-called loyal friends finally passed a glass to her.
She had smiled shaking her head, "Am sorry gentlemen, not today maybe another time "
"Come on sister-in-law...don't spoil the fun. We know it's boss who stopped you from drinking " the one called Jack said.
"And now that he's gone, just one glass won't hurt "his sly smile played on his face.
She had promised to play the part and since she got there, Bella had noticed something different about the group.
Their type of speech and huge dark tattoos on their arms and necks protruding from their fancy suits.
She had noticed one on Enzo after she got closer to him.
"Sister-in-law, come on "they urged her.
"Alright, "Bella said grabbing the glass, when would she ever taste such good wine?
Soon she had taken more than one glass before Enzo walked back into the room.
He frowned glancing at them.
Bella noticed the sudden silence and turned behind to see an angry Enzo.
"You said you can't drink, was that a lie?" he asked. Seeing the two empty bottles of wine on the table.
Bella smirked moving, but her uncoordinated legs failed her pushing her down to her seat.
"Am not drunk yet....she laughed as her finger pointed at the wall. "but it was them who gave me the wine so blame them " she yelled.
His cold eyes turned to the other men who avoided his gaze.
"Leave "he said and they all got up, each giving him a bow and rushing off.
He sighed as his eyes moved back to Bella whose hand was sneaking for another glass of wine.
"Don't even attempt it "he mouthed and she jerked back.
"But it's so good "he heard her mutter.
He chuckled getting down next to her, "How will you go home in that state?"
Her half-closed eyes moved to look at him, "Well....your m....men drunk me.....so it's your responsibility my home "
"Huh?" he frowned watching her laying down
His guard moved closer, "I think she means it's your responsibility now to get her home since your men made her drunk "
Enzo sighed looking back at her.
"Okay, get the car ready "he said and his guard left instantly.
Alone now in the room, his eyes stayed on her.
"Are you okay? "he asked. Bella moved her head, messy hair in her face but she didn't move it and answered.
"Mmm, just thirsty "her voice came out.
Enzo got up leaving and soon returned with a glass of water.
"Here, get up and have some "but Bella didn't move. "Bella "he called.
"Mmm, I hear you but am too lazy to get up "she answered.
He watched her swing her hand in the air, "help me please "
Enzo got closer, carefully his arm holding her waist supporting her up, then fed her some water.
"Thanks "her now open eyes glanced at him and she smiled.
Placing the glass down he leaned back.
"Why did you drink if you know what happens when you do?" he asked.
Bella smirked," Because your friends asked me to and since I agreed to play the role of your fiance I had to agree ".
He fell silent so Bella went on.
"And truthfully, the wine looked expensive and good...I had to try it " she laughed.
He chuckled.
A knock came at the door, "Boss, the car is ready "they heard his guard announce.
Enzo turned to her, "Let's get you home now "getting up and turned walking to the door.
Bella who tried to follow failed falling back," Honey?" she yelled.
Stopping he looked back.
"I think am too drunk, my legs seem paralyzed "she announced.
Enzo walked back glancing down at her, "Need some help?".
She nodded.
Bella felt his manly. perfume attack her nostrils again when he beat her down to carry her. Her hands slid to his neck holding onto him.
He got up with ease and walked to the door.
Her now head heavy laying in his chest, the warmth from his body gently pushed her to sleep.
