Chapter 18
- Third Person's POV –
The loud laughter of the young men in the living room echoed throughout the house. With so much chaos around you will be dizzy to understand whatever they did.
"It's just the last shot." Lil_ron flagged the bottle he was holding while shaking it. To show them its content.
"Take it all to the glass." Juviler nodded while telling Lil_ron.
Smiling, Lil_ron poured the last of the bottle into the glass and it was just enough to fill a glass.
"If only you can consume it." Juviler still laughed teasingly while hiccupping.
The teenagers laughed again making noise in the quiet living room while Lil_ron frowned as if it was difficult to open his eyes.
"You can do that, man. That's the last one." Akinka's encouragement.
"No. There is more." Nono's eyes widened.
"Where?" Lil_ron turned to the scattered bottles on the floor even as he shook his head, "They are empty."
"It's over there." Nono pointed to her stomach, "I'll take it out of the bathroom first."
"Stupid!" Lil_ron exclaimed with a smile.
The teenagers burst out laughing while bowing their heads and nodding.
It's already dawn and the teenagers are still trying to open their eyes even though their bodies want to roll on the floor to sleep. Their faces are already red and they don't even have the strength to raise their heads. The others were on the floor passed out from being too drunk.
As discussed, all the boys are in the living room and all the girls are in the balcony.
"Let's just go to sleep." Jc said then carefully stood up with his head bowed, "My eyes are really going to close."
He was about to take a step when Nono suddenly stood behind him and wrapped his arm around his neck.
And before Jc could protest, Nono immediately pinched his cheek.
"Fuck!" Jc exclaimed then he forcibly removed Nono's hand from his cheek.
"Now your eyes won't close." Nono smiled jokingly.
"No.. Not yet.. Let's finish." Uno said slowly, trying to raise his head to look at Jc.
"It's over.. Because I finished it." Jc answered then removed Nono's hand from his neck.
Nono's body fell effortlessly onto the soft couch with his head bowed.
"Like your relationship." Jhunz teased more.
At the same time, the teenagers made fun of Jc who made a lot of noise in the living room while the young man was laughing.
"Don't bring it into the conversation." Jc jokingly threatened while pointing his limp hand at Jhunz.
"How about moving on for just one night? Tell a story." Juviler still grumbled.
Jc laughed, "Find a girl you can drink with and them crawl when you're drunk."
Together they teased Jc while he just looked at them with a silly smile.
"Was that your plan when you invited Rhea?" Jc heard Ceejay's serious voice in his ear so he turned around.
They looked at each other and their faces were so close that their noses were almost touching. Ceejay stared at him seriously while Jc stepped back to get a good look at Ceejay's disgusted face.
"Even if you ask your girlfriend, nothing happened to us." Jc said emphatically with a mischievous smile.
Ceejay glared at the young man as if he was threatening something but the young man did not move. His mischievous smile remained on his face as if he was teasing Ceejay.
"We are here... To have a good time... It's Otso's birthday." Uno was still among them even though he was hiccuping.
"Fuck it! Is there nothing to eat here?" Rhuji suddenly exclaimed, maybe to relieve the starting tension between the two young men.
"Now that you mentioned, I feel like... drink a coffee.." Uno replied trying to correct his speech.
"Attack in the kitchen." Nono shouted and took the lead in running to the kitchen even though he was struggling.
Even though some of them couldn't do it anymore, the teenagers still took the lead in going to the kitchen even though they walked clumsily. Some were leaning against the wall to support their bodies so they wouldn't fall to the floor. The others did not insist on getting up and left the living room. They were sitting bent over with their eyes closed as if unconscious.
"There's so much to eat here in the fridge." Jhunz said while standing in the open refrigerator.
While Jhunz was busy eyeing for food, Akinka came behind him and took a bag of chocolate bars that his eyes first saw.
"This is mine." Akinka said while hugging a bag of chocolate bars.
Tagj came up behind him next. And immediately grabbed a basket full of tomatoes.
"Hey, what are you going to do with that?" Jhunz wondered as he followed him to the table in the middle of the kitchen.
Tagj didn't move when he placed the basket on the table. He immediately took one and ate it without hesitation.
They all stared at Tagj with shocked and surprised faces. The young man did not pay attention to this and continued to chew.
"This apple is sweet. Try it while it's still cold." Tagj invited with a smile when he noticed the disbelieving looks of his companions on him.
A moment of silence...
Only Tagj's chewing made noise in the awkward silence in the kitchen as everyone stared at him dumbfounded.
"Why didn't you say there was an apple here?" Seven behaved more and approached Tagj then took one from the basket on the table and directly bit it.
"That's a potato, not an apple! Idiots!" Jhunz mocked and burst out laughing.
Tagj and Seven stared at each other as the teenagers' laughter echoed throughout the house.
The two young men re-examined what they were holding and the contents of the basket as well. The two laughed when their drunken thoughts realized that the potato they had been eating was delicious.
"Bullshit!" Seven slammed back what he was holding in the basket almost laughing at his stupidity.
"But it looks red to me." Tagj still laughed at his reasoning.
"What's that? Red potato?" Akinka laughed sarcastically, "Just eat chocolates."
Akinka left the kitchen first and made his way back to the living room. He sat straight on the couch and leaned his back against it.
Dope suddenly grabbed the chocolates that the young man was hugging and then opened the bag and took one. After Dope took one, he immediately passed it to Jc who was right next to him before Akinka could take it back from him.
Jc immediately took one, and before he could pass it to the person next to him, Akinka stood up slightly, leaning his arm on the couch and reached for the chocolate.
The young man's face was frowning as he let his body fall on the couch and leaned his back against it again. He took one and started eating.
In the silence of the night only the chewing of their mouths could be heard, when suddenly it was broken by something ringing.
They paid no attention to it and continued to eat chocolates with their heads bowed. The ringing did not stop until Nono's group returned to the living room from the kitchen.
"Whose cellphone is that? Noisy." Nono complained as he fumbled with his pants.
The teenagers fumbled with their pants while some looked for the ringing cellphone on the scattered floor.
"Shit baby! It's my cellphone." Akinka exclaimed when he saw his cellphone ringing while scattered on the floor covered by some of their shoes.
Although his head is dizzy and his vision is blurry, he keeps reaching for his cellphone to keep it quiet.
When he got hold of it, he sat on the floor and pressed it just to stop the ringing.
"Why don't you want to be quiet?" He said in controlled annoyance while continuing to touch his cellphone.
No matter how many times he pressed it, it still didn't stop ringing.
"You're so dirty." He complains more and presses harder.
"Because you mistook the back of a slipper as your phone, dickhead!" Rhuji said haltingly, trying to correct his speech.
As the teenagers continued to laugh with mockery, Akinka brought her face closer to what he thought was a cellphone in order to examine it properly.
"Asshole!" Jhunz exclaimed and kicked Akinka's head causing her face to stick to the shoe that he thought was a cellphone.
Because of his annoyance, he threw away the slippers and then wiped his face.
"Bullshit!" He cursed as he scanned on the floor to look for his cellphone. The ringing still continued.
"It's really your cell phone this time." Jc handed Akinka the cell phone he was looking for while still smiling.
Just as Akinka touched his hands to it, his cell phone stopped ringing before he could touch the screen.
"Shhh. I'll just charge it." He said as he forced himself to stand up straight and awkwardly headed to the side of the T.V. which was in front of the couch to charge the cell phone he was holding.
"I'm going to sleep." Jc said more.
He didn't wait for his companions to stop him so he immediately stood up and cautiously walked to the boys' room on the second floor.
Even though his vision was double as if he was spinning, he made sure that every step of his feet was straight. Even in reality, his path was crooked.
His ears heard the happy banter and laughter of the girls on the balcony as he walked down the stairs that caught his attention.
His mischievous mind kept wondering what they were having fun with and the influence of alcohol pushed his feet to go towards them.
