My Second Chance

Chapter - 11

Jenny came back with my uniform and it was all tidy and clean. She hung them on the coat rack and sat down on her seat. I closed my laptop, which she quickly noticed, and stood up with her clipboard. I then pointed towards the windows of my office and she pressed a button that closed them. I then changed into my uniform but kept the mask on. I then left the office with her and took the elevator down to the garage. I got into the passenger seat and we drove off. When we arrived at my house, she handed me my driver's license and I gave her a thumbs up.

I got home and went straight upstairs, changed into a big hoodie, and went to the bathroom. After a nice cold shower, I got out of the bathroom, went downstairs, and sat in the living room with a book in my hand and the TV turned on. As I was reading, I heard my brother talking with that guy.

How the hell did I forget that guy is still staying with us? I quickly got up and went to my room as fast as possible, but of course, luck wasn't on my side. As I ran from the living room to the stairs, I bumped into him. I fell to the floor. I looked up and saw that he was covering his eyes. I quickly stood up and ran to my room.

How long is that guy going to be here? All I was wearing were panties, a bra, and a big hoodie. When I got to my room, I quickly changed into pink shorts, pink socks, and a white crop top. I then went down to the basement with my headphones and phone. I exercised like crazy.

That was extremely embarrassing. I don't want the same thing to repeat ever again. This was the second time this has happened to me. I thought he was in the kitchen with my brother. Then who the hell was he talking to? I hate myself for being in that weak ass state.

I went out of the basement a few hours later and went to the kitchen to grab myself a glass to drink. I opened the cupboard to see the wine. I never thought there would be wine here. Last time I checked there were none. Well, as I always say, sharing is caring. They share and I care for them. I opened the wine bottle and poured it into my glass. I tasted it and it was very sweet. I took the glass and the bottle to the living room and drank the wine as I read the book. By the time I finished three books, I had already finished six bottles of wine.

I hate this body. This body has low alcohol tolerance. I finished the fourth book and put it down. I got up and started walking toward the stairs, resting my hand on the wall along the way. I slowly and steadily started walking up the stairs until I felt a pair of hands pick me up. I didn't even fight. I was way too tired to the point that I didn't care anymore.

From the corner of my eye, I saw that it was Aldea. He took me to my room and put me under the covers. I don't know what happened or what was going through my mind then, but I grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him into the bed with me. I then put my head on his chest and fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up and looked around. Thank god it was just a dream. I got out of bed and into the shower. I then changed into my uniform and unplugged my phone from the charger. When did I put my phone to charge? I ignored my own question and went downstairs with my backpack. I grabbed an apple and rushed toward school. When I arrived at school, Daniel was already waiting for me impatiently. I stopped in front of him and saw him sigh in relief.

"What took you so long? You know what. Don't answer that, let's go before the bell rings" he said as he grabbed my hand and dragged me inside. I roll my eyes and allow him to drag me, since I'm too tired to protest anything right now, and it's not helping that my head hurts. Maybe I shouldn't have drunk that much. Too late for regrets now though.

As I was sitting in class it was hard to focus, but I made sure to write down everything. After school, Daniel wanted to go to an internet cafe, so I joined him. When we got there, we ordered and sat down at the computers. It's kinda cozy. We played some games and did our homework, then left. We started walking towards my house and he led me halfway. We bid our farewells and I went back home. When I did, I changed and went to the living room. I then sat down with a book in my hand and opened the part where I left off, but a piece of paper fell. I picked it up and it read 'Next time, don't drink so much.' My eyes widened and I quickly threw the paper into the fireplace. I turned around to be met by his eyes.

"Does your head hurt?" He asked. I shook my head, indicating that no, it doesn't hurt. He just nods and sits down on the couch, then turns the TV on. I grabbed my book and headed back to my room. I'm getting too emotional. I cannot let this continue. The mother should be back next week. I need to go back to HQ and ask for some training. Whether this body is weak or I'm starting to get soft. I can't let this continue. I can't and I won't. I needed to toughen this body up. I went downstairs with my phone and went to the kitchen to be met by my brother's eyes. I started typing. 'I drank some bottles of your wine, I'll return the money. How much?' I then showed him my phone and he raised an eyebrow.

"I don't drink wine, you should know that already. Only Aldea, out of all of my friends, drinks wine." He then started stroking his chin. "And since Aldea is staying here... That means he bought some for himself and you drank his wine." He said that as he looked me straight in the eyes. Dammit, Dammit, DAMMIT. Out of all the people, it was his wine. But why didn't he mention it?

"What's going on here?" Speak of the devil. I looked at him and tried to think of a solution.
