Who Is My Mate?

Ralph has been looking for Orfila but there was no sign of her in the city. He was in his house dejected and heavily drunk when his doorbell rang.

Ring ring ….. Ring ring

Ralph heard his housekeeper rushing to the door to know who it was. After a minute, he heard the click-clack of a lady's heels. He looked at the door and hoped it was Orfila, his heart pounded and his vision blurred, slowly the door opened and it was Gina. He frowned in disappointment and chunk down the glass of scotch he was holding.

"Is this what you have been doing all day? You didn't come to work and instead chose to be drinking." Gina shook her head and clicked her tongue in disapproval.

"What ….do …. You wan..t?" Ralph slurred.

Gina didn't say anything and just watched him instead. His face was flushed and pink, his pajama shirt was unbuttoned and his hairs were scattered and unkempt. Gina sighed, she has always had a crush on Ralph, but he only saw her as a brother.
