Chapter 203 - Getting Drunk
The door suddenly rang and Aria went to see who it was so late at night . When she looked at the small hole in the door she saw that it was Florence .
' Florence ?!.....Oh , yeah ! He told me that he would drop by before I left the castle . I wonder what he wants ?! ' thought Aria then put her hand at the the door handle .
The moment she lightly opened the door a little she realized that she was wearing a towel .
" What the hell ?!!!!!
" said Aria and closed the door in an instant .
Florence remained surprised when Aria closed the door in a hurry .
" Mmm...Aria ?!
" said Florence with a weird smile .
" I am sorry ! Please give me two minutes !
" said Aria with a serious tone and rushed to her room .
' I really am such a fool sometimes ! How could I think to open the door when I am wearing just a towel . At least...luckily that I realized it fast , or it would have been very embarrassing . ' thought Aria while wearing her pajamas .
After wearing her pajamas properly , she went to the door and opened it . Florence looked at her with a smile and kept his hands behind his back .
" Am I allowed to enter now ?!
" asked Florence with a smile .
" I am sorry for closing the door suddenly like that . Please don't mind it !
" said Aria with a nervous smile .
" No worries !
" said Florence .
" So , what did you want to talk about ?!
" asked Aria with an awkward smile while remembering her foolishness .
" I noticed that you were in a bad mood and.....as your friend , I wanted to help you cheer up a bit .
" said Florence and took the bags with beer behind his back out with an excited smile .
Aria laughed a little when she saw the bags with beer and chips .
" Wanna have a drink ?!....Believe me ! Everything gets better after a few drinks .
" said Florence with a smile .
" You are the doctor , so I shall believe your words .
" said Aria with a smile and invited Florence in .
When Florence entered , he saw Aden who was looking at the cartoons at the tv . He placed the bags on the table while Aria went to get the beer opener . Florence went near Aden and patted his head .
" Hello Aden !
" said Florence .
Aden looked at him surprised and got up from his place then went and hugged Aria . Aria looked at him surprised then looked at Florence .
" Dada , badana !
" said Aden with a wary expression while staring at Florence .
The both of them laughed in a shy way when they heard saw Aden's action and Florence went near him .
" Aden , I am sorry for scaring you a while ago . I will not take your sister away from you . We will stay here together . Can you forgive me for my harsh smiles ?!
" said Florence and extended his hand towards Aden .
" Dada !
" said Aden with a smile and grabbed Florence's hand then went back to watch cartoons .
When Aden went back to his place , Florence noticed that Aria was smiling at him with a warm smile .
" What ?!
" asked Florence with a smile .
" Nothing...I....I just...am not used to see people like you . So caring and understanding . It really makes me feel at ease and happy .
" said Aria with a sad smile .
" Hey.....
" said Florence with a docile tone then put his hands on Aria's shoulder .
" Aden is very smart.....unlike the other kids . He will definitely get better and become like any other kid in his age . He will talk with you and do a lot of things with you . You just need to be a bit more patient . Trust me Aria , everything will be fine . I am a doctor . I know what I am saying .
" said Florence with a sweet tone and smile .
Aria suddenly felt a nice sense of security and a warm feeling that embraced her heart . She was really touched by Florence's words and her heart even skipped a beat when she looked at Florence's sincere expression .
' He is such a good person . It feels nice to hear someone who doesn't judge people . A person like him....he is...simply amazing . ' thought Aria with a smile .
" Florence ! Thank you ! Thank you a lot about your words . They mean a lot to me . I am very lucky to have a friend like you .
" said Aria with a warm smile which made Florence's heart beat .
" Let drink now !
" said Aria and went to get the beers in the table then took Florence's hand and sat him on the table in the living room .
She took the glasses then brought them to the table .
" We can drink them from the cans .
" said Florence .
" I have sensitive teeth. I rarely drink anything without putting it in a glass and using the cannon-bit.
" said Aria .
" Ouuu...Okay ! Let's drink !
" said Florence and th both of them started to drink while Aden watched tv .
Aria started to tell Florence about her meeting with the queen . Florence laughed a lot when he heard it . When Aria started to tell him about the issue with the ministers , Florence looked at her with an amazed expression .
" Did you really do that ?!
" asked Florence with disbelief .
" Yeah ! Ace was the one who found that video and I managed to make that minister lose all his image . You should have seen his face . It was.....simply....pale from the huge shock . Hahahaha !
" said Aria with a laugh .
" Ace ?! Is he.... ?!
" asked Florence .
" He is my other brother . A first year student at the university of Cambridge .
" said Aria with a proud tone .
" He must be a clever kid .
" said Florence .
" Not only is he clever , but he is handsome too....Just like you .
" said Aria with a smile .
" Wow ! Thanks for the compliment !
" said Florence .
" You are welcome !
" said Aria and continued to drink .
" I am curious about something....You told me how you met Helios Castejo but I wonder.....how did you manage to sign a contract to work for him ?! Rumors say that the people who work at the Castejo companies are all considered the best in their field . In your case Aria....you are a good girl but you dropped out of school the last semester . Don't take me wrong ! I am just saying because it's unusual for him to hire someone who doesn't have at least ten degrees with excellent marks .
" said Florence .
" I was tricked by my brother to work for this guy . Signing a contract with him was the worst decision in my life . He is a devil ! A self centered , arrogant asshole !
" said Aria and drinked the anothe can of beer .
" I know that he is arrogant but....to have you angered so much , to the point where yoo would actually say asshole...?!....
" said Florence and tried to get the can of beer next to her away .
" You know that bastard donkey ?!
" asked Aria .
" Yeah ?!....Wait ! Donkey ?!!!!
" said Florence shocked .
" Whatever ! I don't wanna think about him or I will get very angry ! Although you know him , don't get too close with him Florence . You are like a rare gem in this scrupulous world with bad men . I don't want you to get infected by his bad behavior !
" said Aria with a dizzy expression .
" A rare gem ?! For real ?!
" asked Florence extremely surprised .
" Of course !
" said Aria .
Florence felt happy when he heard the way Aria thought of him . Florence noticed that Aden had fallen asleep on the couch and Aria who was a bit dizzy from the beer .
' I remember her saying that she has a good tolerance to alcohol but Aria looks like she's a bit drunk . I better get Aden to his bed so that he won't be disturbed by our noise . ' thought Florence and got up from his place then took Aden in his arms and went to his bedroom .
Aria looked at them with a satisfied smile .
After covering Aden with the blanket , Florence closed the door and went to Aria .
" He is sleeping soundly .
" said Florence .
" Thank you for taking him to his bed . You know.....you are the perfect dream husband of every girl . I don't know who's stupid enough not to wanna marry you on the first blind date ! Either you avoid them on your own or the girls you have had a blind date with were blind ones . Rich , smart , strong and caring . Who wouldn't want a piece of god's work who's so perfect just like this ?!
" said Aria and Florence couldn't stop laughing .
" Do you really think so ?!
" asked Florence with his eyes a bit teary from the hard laughing .
" Of course ! I should give doctor Flaubert and his wife a gift for having produced a person like you .
" said Aria and her face became a bit red from the drinking .
" They would like to hear you say this .
" said Florence .
" Your parents are amazing people ! And you are a great person too . Thank you for helping me with Aden today . When a similiar situation happend in the past , I would be dragging him home after he had hitted me a couple of times . This time , he didn't pull my hair and is considered a progress .
" said Aria with a smile .
" Is he always this agitated ?!
" asked Florence .
" Most of the time ! Peopel would urge me to get jim out of there just like president Castejo did today . I try ! I try to talk to him but he just doesn't listen to me . They don't understand his problem and that's why they talk freely like that . People.....are really mean and don't try to understand the other person's problem at all .
" said Aria and got up .
" Aria ! You don't need to listen to them .
" said Florence .
" When I hear those coments , I always am very insecure whether he will be fully cured one day or not .
" said Aria .
" He will be cured ! All the people who said something bad to him will realize that they shouldn't have spoken like that with him because he will become a wonderful person who will surpass all of them .
" said Florence .
"Thank you Florence , I am very touched by your words . I am glad that I listened to doctor Flaubert's words and went to tabt blind date . It's one of the most beautiful things that have happened in my life .
" said Aria with a smile and red expression .
' She's so honest when she's drunk ! She has dranked a lot . I better send her to her room so that she could sleep . ' thoughg Florence and tried to take the can of ber from Aria's hand .
" Aaaa.....What are you doing ?!
" asked Aria drunk .
" I.....nothing ! I just thought that you need to go to sleep sine it is getting late . Also you need to rest .
" said Florence and getly touched her hand .
" Florence ! You are a good guy but I think thay bastard donkey's name changed you . Why wanna tob my beer ?! I want to continue drinking .
" said Aria .
" I know but you ard already very drunk . We willl drnk again tomorrow so for now.....How about a good sleep ?!
" said Florence .
" No !
" said Aria and left the beer in the table .
" Aria....
" said Florence when he saw that she wasn't able to walk staright .
Aria walked for ahead but instead of walking staright she stepped on one of Aden's toys and was ready to fall .
" Aria !
" said Florence and rushed to catch her .
