✷BAD DRINKER✷

“What are you doing here?” Yazmine and Aiden asked in unison. They both stared at each other afterwards with different thoughts running through their heads.
“I’m here to see someone” She spoke first, breaking the long silence in between them. “What about you? Do you live around here?” She asked.
“I.. yeah, I live around here” He replied. Could she be looking for him?
“I should leave now” She said walking pass him.
“I’ll walk with you” He suggested.
“Oh, I’m fine. You shouldn’t”
“This street is pretty dangerous at night” He said but she turn away.
“You don’t to worry” She said stubbornly, walking down the street. Just then a strange man lurking around the corner suddenly snatch her purse. Yazmine wasn’t fast enough to react.
The man ran but had no idea of the figure standing before him. His face was hit, sending him down the floor, a loud groan escaping his lips.
Aiden stepped on the hand holding Yazmine’s purse, putting pressure enough to make the man groan again. Yazmine took a deep breath as she watch Aiden take her purse from the man.
“Let go off me!” The man snapped but got a kick on his face in return.
“Scram before I’ll kill you” Aiden’s warning made the man scurried away.
“Here, I insist to walk with you” He said gently, handing the purse to her.
“Thanks” Yazmine’s voice almost broke, but she manage to compose herself. Her sight observe Aiden and she couldn’t deny the man’s beauty.
Aiden touched his face. “Do I have something on my face?” His question snapped Yazmine back to reality and she scolded herself for staring too much.
“Huh? No” she shook her head and the spoke again. “About how cold I was to you at work. I’m sorry about it” She answered.
“Oh no, it’s fine. I honestly understood why you did that. I should be the one sorry here” He smiled, and asked. “Can we start all over?”
“Start what over?” Yazmine eyelashes batted severally.
“I wish to be your friend. That’s if it’s okay by you. I would be hurt if you say no though” He requested. She stared at him for a while making him wonder if he shouldn’t have said that.
“Sure, we can be friends” She replied.
Aiden walked her down the street while discussing about himself. Aiden is the third son of his family, his parents stays out of the country while he lives here alone. He didn’t reveal the reason but told her how much he enjoys his stay here even though it seems dangerous.
Yazmine also told him a little about herself and with this, they got to her car in no time.
“It’s nice chatting with you Aiden” She smiled.
“It’s my pleasure” He replied and watched her entered the car and zoom off.

Candy return to work the next morning, ready to face the curious gaze of the other workers. It made her uncomfortable but she ignored it.
Someone cleared her throat behind her. Without looking back at the person, she knew who it. Slowly, her eyes met with Yazmine intense gaze on hers.
She paused not knowing what to say. Yazmine’s face losen up all of a sudden and pouted.
“Gosh Candy” She stepped forward and pulled her for a tight hug. Candy blinked severally.
“You have no idea how that night had scared me and how much I missed you. Please don’t scare me like that again” She broke the hug and chuckled. “The president must have taken care of you a lot”
“Huh?”
“I meant on how he dealt with Alexa” Yazmine said and Candy breath out.
“I know you’re married to the president” She stated and Candy’s eyes flew wide open. “I want to get mad at you but I couldn’t. You had a good reason to hide the secret but should have tell me. I’m so jealous only my brother knew”
“Sorry, I was planning to tell you. I never wanted you to find out that way” She said.
“Hm, you both look good. I’m sure you’re going to melt that cold heart of his” Yazmine whispered.
“Candy” Jameson called from a distance.
“Hey, wow you grew taller” Candy chuckled and Jameson smiled so brightly.
“You’re the one who became shorter” Jameson commented. Yazmine fist flew directly to his chest.
“Urgh, what was that for?” He asked.
“You should be nice to her, she just resume” Yazmine said, then return her gaze to Candy. “We have a lot to cover up Candy. We’ll be traveling soon.. also, I bet you’re preparing for tomorrow”
“Tomorrow? What’s tomorrow?” Candy asked with a frown.
“Wait, Candy? You really have no idea what tomorrow is?” Yazmine inquired. Candy gulped nervously, realizing she had completely lost track of the days – she couldn’t even recall today’s date. Maybe because of the crazy things happening around her.
“Tomorrow is Diego’s birthday” Jameson broke the news causing Candy’s eyes to open wide.
“R.. really?” she stuttered.
“Yeah, how come you didn’t know the president birthday? Your husband’s birthday” Yazmine whispered.
“I don’t know, he never mentioned it at or anything. Why didn’t you tell me?” Candy directed the question to Jameson.
“It doesn’t change anything Candy. Diego h@tës birthdays so much” Jameson replied.
“But why?” Candy inquired.
“Remember that story I told you. The first time I meant Diego?” He asked and Candy nodded.
“It happened on his birthday. That was how I even got to know his age” Jameson said recalling how the nurses whispered among themselves. A nine years old boy Poisoned on his birthday.
Candy’s face contorted to a shock one. That was so cruel! She badly wish to know the person behind such a thing and rip off the the person’s head off.
“We should make this one special then” She suggested.
“I agree on that” Yazmine said. Jameson only stay silent. He just hope Diego wouldn’t act cold and crazy tomorrow. But he trust Candy.
“I haven’t prepared anything yet, I’m going to need your help” Candy’s freaked out.
“After today’s work then. Jameson, we’ll need your help too” Yazmine said.
Sighing, Jameson agreed.
___
The work turn out to be hectic as Candy had predicted. Getting home, she prepared dinner, and waited for him.
When he came back, his face was devoid of emotion. he sat gently while she stares.
“How was today?” She started a conversation.
“Good” He replied in a hoarse voice.
Candy tried lightening up his mood but it wasn’t working. He must have known what tomorrow is and she is going to change the way he views it.

On the next morning, Diego stepped into the company with a hard face. The workers could only greet with a bow. On a day like this they would wish him and he would just shrug them off.
But none of them did except.. saying ___good morning President..
Maybe they were tired of the useless wishes.
Getting to the office Jameson gave him his usual updates. Diego found it strange Jameson also didn’t wish him as usual. He would tease and annoy him on a day like this but he didn’t.
Jameson simply gave him all he needs for the day and left.
Hours pass by, Diego buried himself into his work. His jaw clinched as he wished this day could just Fuçking end.
After the working hour, Jameson entered his office.
“Mr. Callus is in town already and wanted to meet you tonight sir” He said politely.
“Callus. Isn’t our meeting tomorrow?” He asked.
“Something actually came up with his daughter so he had to arrive a bit early. It’s really important Diego, we need to see him”
Diego needed a distraction anyway so agreed. He had plan to bury himself into work a little more before heading home. Discussing business Sh|ts isn’t a bad idea too.
The car pulled before the comfortable restaurant having beautiful lights sorrounding it.
Jameson came down with Diego and they both head towards the restaurant.
Diego saw the slight hesitation on Jameson before entering the restaurant with him.
Stepping in, Diego saw the familiar faces of his employees.. not all though but they were much.
“Happy birthday Mr. President!!” They all chorused and clapped.
Diego slowly turn his head towards Jameson who gave him a grin in return. If look could kill then Jameson would be unconscious.
Before he could fired at him, his eyes spot Candy approaching them. She was so beautiful, he almost didn’t recognize her for a moment. Her red short gown clung onto her curvy body, alluring enough to make any man drool. Her make up light and her curly black hair falls on both shoulder.
“Happy birthday” She greeted with a warm smile. Judging from expression, she must have prepared this.
“What’s this?” He asked in a not so cold voice.
“My present. Days like this should be warm and filled with happiness. Please let us make you feel that way even it’s once” Her words were supposed to surge anger but it didn’t. Though he h@tëd this but part of him wants to sit among these people.
“It’s just a short dinner. Please” Her eyes desperately wanting him to stay.
“C’mon Diego, I’m hungry!” Einstein exclaimed, he was sitting around the corner. Jameson gave him a Fuçk you sign.
Diego took deep breath and gave Candy one last look before stepping forward. The noise of the employees afterward made him shut his eyes a little.
__
The dinner began but the atmosphere was thick and filled with silence. Of course they felt overwhelmed by Diego’s presence but Jameson smoothen the situation with a joke.
Some of the employees also joined making atmosphere bright again.
Meanwhile, Aiden was seated beside Yazmine. Her cup was empty so he decided to pour her a drink. When he realized what he did, he looked up to her.
“Oh, I’m sorry.. I shouldn’t have..”
“It’s fine” Yazmine cut him off and he smiled
Candy was sitting beside the cold man who didn’t utter a word. She slowly slip her hand under the table to hold his. Her action caught him by surprise, her hand felt smooth and warm, triggering something in him.
When his eyes met her grey eyes, she smile then gave him a signal to eat.
“I’m not hungry” He mouthed, silently enough for only her to hear.
“Fine, at least drink water” Candy grab a glass of liquid on the table. Diego glanced down at it. His throat felt dry so accepted it.
Jameson wanted to speak when he saw this but Diego took three gulps fast to satisfy his dry throat. Realization hit him when he realized what he just taste wasn’t water.
Bringing it down, his eyes widened recognizing the taste.
Alcohol!
“What’s wrong?” Candy asked noticing his shock face.
“You gave me alcohol” His eyes widened as they move to her.
“Huh?” Candy took the drink from him and inhaled it. The alcohol looked like water, that was why the mistake was made.
“He is a terrible drinker Candy, he need to leave” Jameson whispered.
Diego stood trying to suppress the sensation kicking in and turn to leave.
Candy also stood with Jameson. They greeted the others and left too. Yazmine and the others blinked with confusion.
Diego grip the door hard.
“Get in the car, I’ll drive” Jameson said. Candy entered the car with Diego. He was already showing the sign of a drunk person.
Mr. President is bad drinker?!
With the help of Jameson, they got home in no time.
Candy used every bit of her strength to help Diego into the house. He kept on grunting and trying to support his weight.
Who the hell gets drunk in just three gulps!
Getting to the room, Candy help Diego lay on the bed. It was hard for her because the man’s weight. Sure, she can’t carry him alone if he was unconscious.
“I h@të everyone” His voice came out clear this time, his eyes were close.
After changing his clothes which was d@mn hard, she covered him with quilt and stared at his peaceful face. He doesn’t have those usual frown, just calm and beautiful.
Just when, she turn to leave, he held her and pulled her to himself. Candy’s fragile body landed on the bed, her eyes met with the man who was now hovering over her.
Before she could blink, he slam his lips on hers, gently nibbling it. Candy responded Instantly drawing him close. She tasted the alcohol on his lips, which only drive her crazy.
He lifted her gown up to her chest, his second hand massaging Brë@št. Candy gasped when he went for her neck, kissing her sensitive spot. His touch was surprisingly gentle… so gentle
Trailing his hand to her çlit he massage it gently in circles. She was dripping wet already. His touch was fire.
“Hmm” She Mõ@ned biting her wet lips, wanting him inside this time. She won’t deny the fact that her body misses every part of him. She was willing.
“Hey Candy, Can I?” He asked, shocking Candy. The Diego she knows will shove himself in without asking. Well.. she is liking his drunken state.
“Yes, please” Candy found herself begging. In the next moment, they were both naked.
He pulled out his huge ÇOçk in the dark and position it on her entrance, going in slowly. Candy gasped at the intense feeling that washed over her.
The man started his pace, again shocking her with his gentleness. The sweetness was another level.
His stares…
Diego would have his face buried into the crook of her neck, gripping her body hard and Fuçking her mercilessly while groaning hard into her ear.. but instead…
His gaze was fixed on her, filled with affection as he moved in and out of her gently. He lean to her face kissing her.
Candy doesn’t want this to end, wishing Diego would remain this way. Her hand grip the sheet tight as they both release at the same time, with their groan renting the room.
Diego rested his head on her shoulder, his breath steady, indicating his sleep. She tried to move but the man whispered with his eyes close.
“Stay Candy”
Candy was sure she didn’t hear him wrong. She shifted to her comfortable pose on the bed and draw close, making his head rest on her chest. His muscular arm sorrounded her tiny waist.
His face was peaceful, she stared at it for a long while. Her hand reach of his hair and gently sweep it back. Smiling at his beauty, she placed a kiss on his forehead. Her heart flutter like never before.
She haven’t felt this way since many years and yet, this man laying beside her had woke up that feeling..
She does not regret marrying him one bit.
This is the first time she’ll be sleeping beside him.. she wish today doesn’t end…
In a while, Candy didn’t realize when these word fell off her lips.
“I LOVE YOU, DIEGO”
