Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 222 The Weekend Trip(VII)

[An hour later]

Gulping down the entire content of the glass, Rachael got up from her seat. "Alright, I am going to help my husband now. He seems a little lonely."

Elsa threw her head back and laughed, "Are you going there to help him or to grab his tushie?"

"While I am there, I'll do that too," Rachael gave her a thumbs up as she walked away.

"Let me go grab my would be husband's tushie as well." Elsa got up and followed Rachael.

Pouring herself another drink, Tina scoffed at Emma. "Please feel free to leave."

Without saying anything, Emma got up and left.

"Refill?"

Juliana gave Tina her empty glass. "This will be the last one. It's already hitting me."

"Well, at least it will make us forget all our worries." She gave the glass back to Juliana.

"That's true."

Just then Owen approached them. He looked at the drink Juliana was sipping and frowned. He had been observing her since she gulped down her first drink. He wanted to stop her when she started filling her glass for the fifth time but he didn't. He didn't wanna be nosy or show that it was bothering him.

But when she filled it for the tenth time, he couldn't stop himself.

Without saying anything, he took the glass from her hand and gulped down the alcohol in one go.

"Dude, stop stealing her drink." Tina frowned. "There is more if you want."

"Yeah stop stealing other people's drink, that is bad manners." Juliana snatched her glass back.

"Don't let him bully you Juli, fight back," Tina exclaimed before walking away.

Owen pinched the space between his brows and sighed. He was speechless.

When he saw her filling her glass again, he went forward and snatched the glass from her hand. "Do you have plans to kill your liver today?" He had seen Tina and Emma mercilessly dump strong alcohol in the cocktail. And now that he had tasted it, he could still feel his throat burn.

"So is my drinking and eating also a part of the contract I signed?" She raised her brows. "You are gonna control my life now?"

"You are not drinking anymore." He grabbed her hand and forced her to sit down. "Did you eat anything?"

When she shook her head, he sighed, "Stay here."

…..

Andrew raised his brows at his wife who was staring at him. "What are you thinking?"

"Hmm, I am wondering if I should kiss you or grab your cute tushie."

Her words made him chuckle. "How much did you drink?"

She hugged him from behind. "Hmmm, you really don't wanna know."

Andrew turned towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "As long as I am present, you can drink as much as you want."

He ran his finger through her hair. "Your face is all red and—" He stopped midway when Rachael suddenly grabbed his ass cheeks with both her hands.

"I went with the tushie," she chuckled as she squeezed them harder.

"Rach—" He grabbed her hand. "You are in big trouble."

"Is it?" She smiled. "Is Daddy gonna punish me?"

She hooked her arms around his neck and moved closer. "Is Daddy gonna spank me?"

"Daddy is gonna do more than just spanking." Andrew smirked and pulled her closer.

While the couples were busy with each other, Ben was busy looking for Tina who was nowhere to be seen.

"Tina?" Ben knocked at her room door, hoping she was inside.He frowned when he did not get an answer.

When he entered the room, it was empty.

'Where did she go?' he thought before stepping out.

He had seen her drinking at least ten drinks before she disappeared. And now when he couldn't find her, he was very worried.

…..

[Outside]

"Did you see Tina?" Ben asked Juliana who was on the verge of passing out.

"You might get an answer if you talk to a stone," Owen scoffed as he grabbed Juliana's hand to steady her.

Ben pinched the bridge of his nose and frowned. He was getting very frustrated.

"Where did she go?" He muttered.

"I think I saw her going outside," Owen remarked.

Without saying anything, Ben walked away.

…..

[Beach]

After walking for a distance, Ben finally found Tina. She was sitting in the middle of nowhere all by herself.

He pinched the space between his brows and sighed before walking towards her.

When he sat right next to her, Tina took a sip of her drink and smiled, "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" He took the drink from her hand. When he took a sip, he frowned, "What is this?"

"Gin, vodka, rum—" she chuckled. "It's good, right?"

"You made it?" When she nodded, he took another sip. "It's good." f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. "Oh—I am sorry." She quickly moved away. "I get very clingy when I am drunk. You should just leave me alone."

Ben did not say anything, he just kept sitting with her, sipping the drink from time to time.

"You know what your problem is Ben?" When he looked at her, she added, "You tend to say many things without saying anything. But that is also something I like a lot about you."

"Or maybe I like assuming what you are trying to say," she chuckled. "I can assume whatever I want, right?"

"Come, let's go inside." When he grabbed her hand, Tina shrugged it away.

"I wanna stay here for a while, you can go inside."

"Tina, it's getting late and cold, you'll fall sick." He tried to persuade her.

"It's okay if I fall sick, I'll take medicine," she remarked. "Go inside."

When Ben did not move, she added, "Don't wanna leave me alone?"

"You can actually, don't feel obliged to sit here just because you are worried I will be alone." She leaned towards him and whispered, "I am used to being alone. Nothing new."
