Chapter 55: To Pretend
Right after their sumptuous meal, Raine ordered some cocktail drinks for the two of them. She also ordered two bottles of strong red wine to get drunk with. Well, she really just wanted to test how far her tolerance went for alcohol, as well as she wanted to be wild and free at that moment.
Tyrone, meanwhile, simply kept his silence as he watched her do whatever she wanted.
"Let’s go!" Raine shouted on top of her lungs as she held the two bottles of wine, hugging them both within her arms as she stood up and walked out the terrace towards the seashore.
There were bright lights along the way, so she still could see the small waves passing through the shore. Removing her sandals, she walked barefoot through the water. Behind her, Tyrone picked up her sandals and quietly followed Raine.
She felt a little dizzy as the alcohol began to wreak havoc in her system. Before she knew it, she was sitting on the sand with Tyrone beside her. She was in a playful mood and wanted to tease him, so she handed him one bottle and said, "Cheers."
Tyrone watched wordlessly as Raine drank the wine directly from the bottle.
"Ah, this feels good. Just hearing those waves and feeling the ocean breeze? It would be nice if we waited for sunrise and watched it from here, don’t you think?" Raine practically slurred out as she continued drinking.
"Was it so bad? That nightmare?" Tyrone asked.
"Yeah. I dreamt of you killing me, so it’s really bad," Raine almost laughed.
She didn’t even bother to mention Nathaniel and how Tyrone was a werewolf in that dream. She didn’t want to compare Tyrone with Nathaniel anymore. She just wanted to convince herself that they were two different people since Nathaniel had a reason to kill and hurt her, while Tyrone didn’t have any reason to do such things. Nathaniel had the possibility of becoming a werewolf since his mother was a werewolf. But Tyrone?
Raine shook her head, trying hard to convince herself that Tyrone and Nathaniel were not the same.
