Chapter 20: You Are Drunk

Yvonne

I started drinking, drinks after drinks and soon I was a little tipsy. I was sipping my drink, engulfed in my thoughts when I felt someone sat on the bar stools beside me.

"A beautiful woman like you shouldn't look so sad." I looked at him, hazel eyes and dark brown hair.

He was so cute but I was not in a mood to talk and not to mention, I respected my marriage vows even if they were fake. I just rolled my eyes and finished my drink and ordered another one.

"Here, it is on me." He put a drink in front of me.

"Sorry, I don't take offered drinks from strangers." I replied flatly and took my drink that the bartender just dropped in front of me.

"Ouch, that was harsh." He said, placing his hand on his chest, I chuckled and he looked silly.

"Finally, you smiled." I looked at him surprised.

"You were sitting there the whole time, staring into space sadly." He said and I nodded, kept drinking.

"Okay, I think that is enough. You are drunk already." He said as I was about to take another glass when he suddenly took it from me.

"What the hell? I am not drunk, I am j..just a little tipsy." I stuttered and stared at the man but his face was a little blurry.

I stood up to take the glass from his hand but I stumbled because of dizziness. The man wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me from falling.

"Sure, sure." He said amused, I pushed his chest to let go of me but he didn't.

"Stop saying it like you are talking to a child." I looked up at him annoyed and he chuckled.

I was about to tell him to let go of when someone suddenly pushed him away from me roughly and in the next moment, he was on the floor with his mouth bleeding as the other man punched him hard.

"Don't you dare touch my wife again and I will make sure to send you to hell!" He growled and stood up coming towards me.

Nathan? He took my hand and dragged me out of the club. I felt confused, what is going on here? Nathan is in the United States. I tried rubbing my eyes to get a clear view of his face but it blurred again. He brought me to the parking lobby and released my hand.

"What are you thinking? Going to a club in the middle of the night and drinking like this!" He roared and I flinched at his familiar loud voice.

This can't be Nathan, he is in the United States. I kept staring at him blankly and he spoke.

"What are you staring at?"

I went close to him and stumbled a little and he caught my arms. I looked at him closely and poked on his cheek with my index finger.

"What are you doing?" He asked, shocked.

I poked his other cheek, his nose, his forehead and I was about to touch his lips when he caught my hand.

"You are drunk." He said.

"Sorry, your voice sounded like my husband's." I said with unfocused eyes and he chuckled.

"Because, I am, baby."

"Don't lie, my husband is not in the country." I said suspiciously.

"Look carefully, it is me, Yvonne."

He even knows my name! Suddenly I held him from his collar with both hands and pulled his face close to mine, looking at him closely with narrowed eyes. I blinked several times to focus and a familiar pair of green eyes and features came into view. He looks exactly like him.

My eyes grew wide and I backed away, putting a hand on my mouth in shock.

"Imposter!" I exclaimed loudly as I pointed my index finger at him.

I woke up grimacing as I felt a sudden headache. I sat up on the bed and cupped my head, I felt a little discomfort in my virginia. What happened? I suddenly panicked and looked down at myself and relief washed over me as I noticed I was still wearing my clothes of yesterday. Then why do I feel so uncomfortable down there? What really happened? I tried to recall.

I remembered going to the club last night and then I met a guy who was beaten up by someone that looked like Nathan and then…what happened afterwards. I can't remember and why can't I remember.

I looked around, I was in Nathan's room. How did I come back home last night?

"You are up?" I shrieked in surprise when I heard his voice from behind.

I turned and looked towards his direction, he was sitting on the couch leisurely resting his foot on his other thigh and his one hand on the armrest, rubbing his chin and looking at me seriously. It has been six months since I have seen him, he looked tired with slight red eyes and dark circles under his eyes.

"You?" I didn't know what to say. Was he the one I met yesterday?

"Did you bring me home last night? What happened?" I asked.

"You don't remember?" He asked instead and I shook my head.

"I just remembered that you came to the club last night."

He stood up and came near me, took a pill from the bedside table with a glass of water and held it in front of me.

"Have this first," I took the pill and drank the water because my head was throbbing in pain. He sat in front of me on the bed.

"How? No, why?" I questioned, confused.

If he was the one yesterday then was he lying he was in the United States this whole time?

"Have breakfast first, you took the medicine on an empty stomach." He said quietly as he cared.

"Answer my question, since when?" I asked loudly this time, he released a harsh breath before responding.

"Three months ago."

What? He has been here for tow freaking months and pretended that he was not?

"Why?" I glared at him, he looked away before speaking.

"No reason,"

Seriously? I got up from the bed and went towards the bathroom when he stopped me by holding my hand.

"Who said you can leave?" He said sharply.

"I answered your questions and now it is my turn." He said and before I could react to anything, he pulled me by my hand and I bumped into his chest. He locked me by wrapping his arms around my waist, not letting go and my breathing hitched.

"Did you realize that what you did last night was really dangerous? What if someone tried to take advantage of you?" He said angrily.

Is he kidding me? After lying for months, he is here acting like he cares. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. I glared at him and he just smirked.

"Let me go," I said firmly.

"Never," he muttered seriously.

What the hell does he want from me? I closed my eyes to calm myself before looking at him again.

"Let's talk like two civil people after you let me go." I said with a fake smile.
