Chapter 144- Her Drunk Love Confession
HARDIN'S POV
My throat became dry in the moment as my eyes went to her nipples that were pressing through the red silk nightgown she had on and then it trailed down to her bare legs. The nightgown covered just her butt area and I knew if she bent down nothing would be left to the imagination.
Was she doing this on purpose?
“ Hardin," she called and I blinked as I came back to my senses.
“ Yeah, uhm…” I cleared my throat as my own voice was hard for me to even recognize,
" The food will be ready,” I said and she nodded before climbing on the stool in the kitchen and then she was looking at me with that look I couldn't quite explain.
" Done “ I said as I started serving the food. I placed the food in front of her as she quietly started eating while I sat on the other stool and ate my food.
We ate in a tense silence as my eyes kept going to her, not because of the sexy red lingerie she had on but because of the lost look she had in her eyes.
I wanted to know what was going on in her head, maybe then I'll be able to help her.
“ Do you wanna talk about it, what's bothering you?" I said as she turned to me,
“ I'm okay Hardin, it's nothing serious, thank you for the food it was delicious," she said as she stood up and took the plate to the sink,
" Don't worry about washing it, I'll do it myself,” I said but I didn't get any response so I turned to see that she was already washing it.
I couldn't help but think back to when she slept over at my place. We had the same argument about me washing the dishes but she ended up washing them.
I took my own plate to the sink and she took it from me forcefully as she started washing it and I couldn't say a word.
When she was done she dried her hands with a towel before she walked to a cupboard and opened it and I was surprised to find different types of alcohol.
I didn't know she drinks that much.
“ Let's have a drink," she said as she took two glasses and then walked out of the kitchen and I followed,
“ Shouldn't you be resting?" I asked in worry because I knew she was trying to fill her mind with alcohol,
" No, I'll just drink a little and then I'll go to bed,” she said,
" Oh, okay, excuse me, I need to call my best friend so she doesn't stay up waiting for me,” I said and she nodded before I walked to a corner to call Vera.
" Hardin, are you working late again?” she asked as soon as she picked up and I could hear the underlying tease in her voice.
" No, I'm not, I'm with Miss Miller in her penthouse,”
" Owww, Hardin,” she drawled and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
" Stop whatever it is you're thinking, something happened, I'll tell you all about it when I come home and also please make sure everywhere is locked and go to bed early.” I said,
" Okay, I'm already going to my room,” she said,
" Claudia came to the office, just when we closed, I don't know Vera, what if something is happening to her and we're turning a blind eye? She didn't look so good,” I said. I could tell that she rolled her eyes even without being there.
" Remind me to manipulate you and get what I want when next I need money. Don't be dumb Hardin, she knows you have a weak spot for her and therefore she'll do everything for your attention, you're smarter than this Hardin,” she said and I sighed,
" Let's talk more when I get home there's a lot of things we need to discuss," I said,
“ Okay, good night and try not to…” I knew what she was going to say next so I ended the call as I shook my head at her antics.
" I'm sorry do you still…" I stopped when I saw that my boss had drunk more than half of the content in the bottle.
“ Shit, that was fast," I said as I quickly took the glass she wanted to drink from again. I had a feeling she drank straight from the bottle.
“ Give me that!" she said as she tried to reach for the glass but I took it out of her reach and kept it on the table.
“ That's enough drinking for one night," I said as she pouted, I didn't want to look at the fact that as she tried to reach for the bottle the tiny hand of her night gown came down almost revealing the swell of her breasts and her fresh legs.
“ Why are you doing this to me, Hardin? Why?” she asked with a sad face,
“ I'm just doing this for your own good, you'll get a headache,” and for my own good, I knew how a drunk Ariana could be.
" You've always been doing this to me," she slurred,
I really don't know what she was talking about but right now she needed to sleep.
“ Let's get you to bed," I held her hand but she dragged it from me and the action made her nightgown pull down to reveal her breast.
“Shit!” I cursed as I quickly drew it back up.
I was about to carry her when her hands wrapped around my neck and she pulled me down to her as I fell on her.
“ Gosh, Ariana, do you want to hurt yourself?" I said as I tried to pull away but she added her legs, wrapping them around me.
“ What the heck?" I cursed,
" Why won't you notice me, Hardin? Why?” she asked as she looked me in the eyes.
I shouldn't have even let her take that bottle in the first place now she was speaking rubbish.
“ You're not speaking in your right senses right now, just stop fighting so I can take you to bed," I said calmly,
“ No!" I was surprised by her outburst as she pulled away from me looking hurt and angry.
“ No, I know what I'm saying, I'm not drunk, stop saying I'm drunk Hardin, I'm not! I've always looked at you from afar but you've never looked at me, I've loved you for a long time, Hardin!"
