The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 91

“Hey, where had you disappeared to?” Luke asked when I returned to our spot.

I even tried calling you, but you did not receive my call, Luke added, as I tried not looking in the direction where Eros and Olivia were making out.

T’d thought I saw someone I know I gave him the half–truth.

However, he immediately grew alert. “You did? Where is he or she?”

I shook my head. “It wasn’t the person I thought him to be, so don’t bother,

Luke gave me a look of concern but then just shrugged “Well, as far as you are okay, I don’t mind.”

He looked at my drink, which was still untouched. “Okay, you can decide not to drink. Besides, you’ve been holding it for almost an hour without taking a sip. You don’t have to

He added with a laugh, but I looked at the drink and gulped it down in one go. Luke threw me a stunned look.

“Woah, what has gotten into you?” He asked, but I only smiled at him.

You wanted me to loosen up a little, right? And that is what I’m doing! I’m loosening up,” I said, and from his mask I saw how confused he was by the sudden change in my behavior.

I was too, but didn’t care at this point. I simply wanted to forget Eros tonight

I made a face and looked at the glass. This drink was so boring. Let us drink something nice

Luke furrowed his eyebrows, “You told me you don’t drink, girl

I nodded my head. “Change of plans, let us drink something stronger”

Saying so. I grabbed his hand and began dragging him towards the drinks counter. After reaching it, I pushed myself up on

the stool and looked at the bartender.

“How may I help you, miss?” The bartender asked, and I smiled at him, “Knock me off

The bartender gave me a devious smile and began preparing the drink. I watched in excitement as he threw the shaker up in the air, caught it in his hand, and then poured it into the glass along with some cubes of ice.

“There you go” He said, and I took the glass in my hand.

“Hey, stop” Luke spoke, but I closed my eyes, held my nose with my index finger and thumb, and downed it in one go.

The drink sent a tingling sensation straight up my head, making me feel warm and fuzzy.

“Again!” I slammed my hand on the table and the bartender smiled. “Are you sure, Miss?”
