CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
CRD Drink Together

TICKS

Louise put her wine glass on the table. Right next to the glass was a bottle of wine that was almost empty with no leftover.

Louise poured more wine into the empty glass. Chugging it once more before finally supporting his head with his left hand and playing the empty glass without knowing what the purpose was. His mood seemed to be not good, very clear from the look of his face that was slightly different when he returned from William's apartment earlier.

Upon returning from the apartment, Louise took the time to visit Oskar's room. Seeing it for a while, of course also conveyed what William wanted to Joanna. After that he decided to come out again with the excuse of not feeling well. Let Joanna recite a fairy tale before going to bed comfortably to a niece they referred to as their son.

"Louise?" call Joanna when you see Louise enjoying wine at the mini bar without anyone. If Joanna is here, you can make sure Oskar is asleep right now.

"Hm?" louise replied before downing the glass of wine she had in her grasp.

"You why. Still thinking about William's decision you told me about?" joanna asked as she pulled up a chair and sat down next to Louise.

Joanna looked at the table, a bottle of wine that was completely empty because it had moved into Louise's stomach. Just looking at those eyes at a glance Joanna knew that Louise was not doing well right now.

"Joanna, they're gonna be okay, right?" ask Louise.

Joanna speechless. Usually it was Louise who would cheer him up and say everything would be fine. Louise always says it with great confidence. Looking at Louise who was now a little hesitant, Joanna also did not know what to answer.

"I don't know. But for sure the doctor will do his best for the success of the operation," replied Joanna.

"Joanna?" call Louise.

"Louise, are you scared?" cut Joanna.

"I'm scared. Not only was I scared, I felt so useless. Obviously I'm his uncle, but why would William be a good donor. It's hurting my heart so much" Louise said. Then open a new bottle of wine.

"It's not your fault" said Joanna.

Joanna was not very good at entertaining, so chose to pour wine for Louise and partake in pouring wine for herself in another glass.

"What are you doing?" ask Louise.

"With you a drink" replied Joanna.

Louise held Joanna by the hand, forbidding her to get used to alcohol like herself, "What if you get drunk and do something stupid?" ask Louise.

Joanna smiled, "Just a few glasses won't make me drunk. What's making you anxious?" answer Joanna.

"really?" ask Louise.

Joanna did not answer. She just smiled to answer Louise's question, "So tell me, what scares you?" ask Joanna.

"Joanna, I've lost Juan before and it hurts. I am so scared of losing someone I love. Now I can only wait until I actually see the two people fighting together on the operating table. I'm afraid something will happen again, what if I lose one or both. Why am I not the only donor for Oskar, why should William. He's had too many operations before, Joanna!" lamented Louise.

"Louise, don't keep blaming yourself. It's not your fault, it's not your wish. I, you and all of us, will all die in time. Just don't know when and how. I really hope they will be okay and healthy again. But still we won't know what will happen. I'm worried just like you. But what can we do other than try it?" Joanna.

"Joanna, aren't you scared?" ask Louise.

"Of course I'm scared. I'm so scared just like you. But next to me it's always you that keeps me from feeling scared anymore. Besides, we should be afraid while they are not afraid. What can we show our sorrow before those who will fight together. They are very excited, so we can complain and doubt. Louise, don't show your face like this in front of them. Believe me, everything will be fine. Even if the result is not what we expected, at least we've tried it, right?" joanna answered by touching Louise's cheek.

Oskar's two chosen parents end up spending their nights drinking together. Encouraging each other and talking about many things to the point of not realizing the time had passed.

The empty bottle continued to grow as time passed. Even Joanna spends more wine than Louise. Louise was still fine, still sane and had her consciousness. Not with Joanna. He was half drunk. But her ability exceeded Louise's expectations. At least, Joanna was not a bad drinker like William who would have fallen down with just a few glasses of alcohol.

Louise smiled, seeing Joanna who spoke began to digress and it made her even more anxious and not tired of seeing it.

"Louise, I'm not good at entertaining. What can I do to cheer you up?" joanna asked in between her drunkenness.

"You want to cheer me up?" ask Louise.

"Eum" replied Joanna.

"Why?" ask Louise.

When drunk, someone will say everything. He said his heart without anyone being covered up. So Louise chose to take advantage of this opportunity to find out Joanna's heart.

"Because I don't like seeing you moody and blaming yourself. You know, you're amazing. You are so cool, handsome and I like you so much" Joanna replied with a big smile that she spread to Louise.

"Joanna, do you really like me?" ask Louise.

"Eum" replied Joanna. Followed by a nod of his head that moved very quickly.

"Really?" ask Louise.

"You don't believe it? Louise, I'm so worried about you" replied Joanna.

"Why are you worried about me?" ask Louise again. This time Louise brought her face closer to Joanna's face from a closer distance.

"Because I love you so much" replied Joanna.

"Love me?" reset Louise.

"You don't believe me, Louise? How do I prove you believe?" ask Joanna.

"Then kiss me, that way I'll believe" replied Louise.

"Louise, did you try to steal the opportunity while I was drunk. If so, you should be disappointed. Because even though I'm drunk, I still know my limits. I know what I can and cannot do" Joanna said.

"really?" ask Louise.

Instead of answering, Joanna got up. Slightly staggered but deftly Louise caught up and let Joanna fall in her arms. And something Louise did not think was, without being forced to take the initiative to bring her face closer and grab her lips.

"Is this what you said you knew the limits even though you were drunk just now?" inner Louise but also very happy.

Louise did not let the opportunity pass her by, so without thinking again she returned Joanna's kiss with affection. When will there be another opportunity like this. Unforcibly, without being stolen, Joanna kisses her voluntarily despite not being aware of what she is doing.

"Other times, I wouldn't let you get drunk without me lest anyone get this kiss from you" Louise said.
