Chapter 167
ZARYA’S UNCONTROLLABLE MADNESS
ZARYA’S POV
I could not take my eyes away from Hali. He seemed so close to a kid like Ember and Phina. He was now playing with Phina with a barbie doll.
“I think he wants a daughter over a son?” Froy put his forefinger on his chin while thinking.
We were at the counter island, eating lunch while conversing. Khal and Matilda were laughing while talking about something. Tan Tan called Froy, they were coming after work. I was happy for them, they found peace. Alisha and Rozella went back abroad, I hope I could see them next year.
“Zarya, what do you think? Hali likes a prince or a princess?” Froy could not shut his mouth. Every take in of food, followed by speaking. He was chewing while he spoke up.
“Prince,” I answered while willingly watching Hali and Phina. I would surely not get pregnant. I drank the gerbs that I asked Cora to prepare, even though Hali did not say to drink it. Everything was not yet good, this was not the time to have a baby.
“Ah, yup. To inherit the throne. I forgot he’s a wolf.” Froy chewed again.
“He’s required to have a prince.” Sera butt in to our conversation.
She is right. Hali should have a prince to be the next Alpha King Of Water, but what if he was required to marry another princess, too? I was not a royal.
Suddenly, the light-filled my heart when I remembered the symbol on my wrist. He already gave it to me. I am his forever. No one could take us apart.
*****
We went to the nearest bar to have fun during the night.
“It feels like I am twenty again!” Froy ran to the dancefloor while pulling Tan Tan and Khal in their hand. They danced there like a crazy person. They looked twenty years old, even though they were thirty.
“Hali!” Tan Tan gestured to him to go join them.
“Tsk. I’m not a kid anymore.” Hali grabbed my hand while his other hand was drinking the glass of champagne.
We were at the counter island, sitting peacefully while drinking. Serenity was next to me, telling me what happened to her in five years. Tan Tan proposed to her two years ago, but she said, she would not marry him without me. They had a plan to continue the wedding this year because I was already here. I missed her so bad. Talking to her was priceless.
“Hali!” Froy hurried to him and pulled his shoulder. “Let’s dance like we have no balls!”
“What the hell? Dance without balls?” Hali chuckled. He moved closer to me and kissed my cheek. “I’ll be back.” I just nodded at him and continued conversing with Serenity.
She talked about how their love story started. It was when Froy requested him to move into her house to look after her. At first, they were so awkward, living with strangers was embarrassing the both of them. Nevertheless, Tan Tan still cared for her, even though he was like forcing himself due to Froy and Hali’s request. Serenity was messed up for months. She encountered trauma and depression for all that his brother did to her. She developed a fear of men, but eventually overcome it with the help of Tan Tan. Little by little, they fell for each other until she recovered.
It was like I was talking to my old friend who was jolly and always going with the flow. While she was telling a happy memories, I hugged her. “I am elated for you.”
“Me either for you and Hali.” She hugged me back.
Having a best friend in this chaotic world is like having someone who can give a sense of peace and fun at the same time.
We both sighed when probably remembering Amari, causing us to feel sad. “I miss her.” We both said. “I hope she’s happy in where she is.”
I accidentally looked back at the men. They were enjoying themselves like they used to be. Just like the days, they had been together, but the difference now, was even if women tried to get their attention, they ignored them. It was a miracle that a legendary playboy Hali was now sticking to only one woman. When she gazed in my direction, she winked at me.
“Oh, gosh! Hali is so madly in love with you!” Serenity was thrilled for us.
I sipped the glass of champagne. “I can tell.”
“So… when is the wedding?”
“It’s not easy to be wed in our world, Serenity. It’s complicated.”
“Oh? No worries. Soon, you and Hali will get married.”
“He proposed.”
Serenity was so shocked. After a long pause, she screamed in thrill. “I am so happy for you!” She hugged me so tight and pecked on my lips over and over again.
The conversation continued until I felt dizzy. Not too much, enough to say that I was drowsy, so to prevent sleepiness, I stood up and went to Hali on the dancefloor. I danced with him. I knew I was becoming wild in there, and uncontrollable, but it was fine, I was with Hali. I turned around while swaying my hips. He positioned at my back while holding my right hip, joining me to sway. Unlike me, he was good at dancing, therefore, women were looking at him. He did not care though. His eyes were just settled on me.
“You’re drunk, Sweetie.” Hali kissed my shoulder.
“Not yet.” I swayed to the left and right, touching his crotch with my butt.
“You should stop, Baby. My cock is hard as a rock.” He whispered seductively.
“I didn’t do anything. I was just dancing.” My chuckle blended with the loud music covering the area.
“Even if you do nothing, Baby. You attract me.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I stopped dancing and gazed at him. “Who is Baby and Sweetie?”
“All you.” He cupped my cheek and was about to kiss me when suddenly Froy bumped into my back.
“Cuddling on the dancefloor is prohibited.” Froy laughed out loud.
A minute later, we were all swaying back and forth, side by side, while laughing out loud. My vision was spinning. When I turned around I almost drop to the floor, if Hali did not support me by hugging my hips. I heard his handsome chuckle. “Come on, Love. You need a little rest.”
“Later.” I moved my hips like a sexy dancer while flirting with him.
“You’re the worst dancer.” He shook his head.
“What’s up with the look if I am the worst?” I examined the depths of his eyes. It was telling that he was completely drowned in his admiration for me.
“My look is always like that. It’s just… you don’t see it. You have no confidence in yourself.” He glued our forehead together and had a sweet swinging, even though the music was rock ‘n roll. When I was becoming worse movers, Hali could not take it. He lifted me like I was rice in a sack.
“Love! Darling! Babe! Sweetie! I prefer you call me Poor Little Thing! I am unique! I swear I can be! I love you, Hali!” I knew what I was doing. However, perhaps I was too drunk to control myself. I was talking differently and I burst out whatever came inside my head.
“Geez, she’s a waste.” Serenity’s laugh was so high as if she was under the influence of liquor, too. “When we were highschool, you asked someone to suck their dick. You plead一”
“Hey!” I covered her mouth. She continued talking. I gazed at Hali, his eyes were on fire. I smiled widely as I cuddle at Hali’s arm. “Yes, I asked, but a good thing, the guy was a nerd one. He just ignored me as if I didn’t say anything.”
Hali’s upper corner lip moved up. “What the hell?”
“It’s a hell experience.”
Suddenly. Hali grabbed Serenity’s upper arm and then he gazed at me. “Stay still. Don’t be stubborn.” He brought Serenity to Tan Tan.
I faced the counter island. I drank everything that was there. It was soothing in the heart to feel like a teenager again. The time was faster to run. Look at me now, 23 years old, no husband, no family, but soon to have. Probably, I could not be in here again, unless Hali joined me. Therefore, I took inside my mouth all the liquor on the counter islands.
“Yum! Delicious.” I could not speak up clearly. I pronounced those words like a kid who had started to learn how to speak.
“Babe!” Hali removed the glasses from me. “Tomorrow, you have a headache.”
“You are there, right?” I held his hand and buried my face in his belly while he was standing in front of me. “You will take care of me, right?”
“Always.” He blew a sigh when he kissed me on my forehead.
“Hali Aiker?” Suddenly, three men sat next to me, observing us. I had no idea who were they. “It’s been a long time since we didn’t see each other.” One of them walked toward him and tapped his shoulder. He observed me from the feet towards the face. “New whore?”
My ears panted as I managed to be calmed. I tightened my hug on Hali. I felt like my drunkenness automatically disappear. Hali did not talk, he just grabbed some tissues and then wiped my mouth.
“I am talking to you, Buddy. Oh, come on!” The man sat near us. “Last time, we accompanied each other, you were finding someone to be fucked.” His attention went to me, he touched my hair. The gritting in my jaw could be felt. “Can I fuck her? I think she’s better in bed. I saw her dancing there. Does her cunt sweet as your favorite egg pie?” They all laughed. I knew Hali was just holding his temper. His fist was slowly closing.
“Or maybe she’s one of the paid whore?”
“Hali likes someone who can fuck him from night to morning.”
“Someone who can suck his balls and treat him like a king, that’s how bossy he was.”
“Oh, come on, sweet pussy. Let’s have a good night. The tree of us, and you… alone. Or Hali can join, too?”
I could not take it anymore. When Hali was about to move, I did the headed first which startled him. I held the back of the man’s head and then banged it to the counter island countless times. The sound of his head colliding with the table made everyone stop even the music halted.
“What did you say again? I change my mind. I don’t wanna hear it.” He was about to talk when I continued hitting his face on the table until the blood flowed.
“The sound of your head striking the table makes me awake. I am excited to see your brain scattering.” A smirk was formed into my lips. “Guess how many strikes I can do for your brain to burst out?”
