Chapter 243 Cheers To Your Happiness
At the Oasis mansion,
After dinner, Anya and Alvin returned to the mansion. As soon as Anya stepped inside, a little frame leaped in front of her, grinning widely, "Momma, how was your evening?" He was excited to know if his mother caught the new bad guy.
AS if there was no exhaustion in her body, Anya\'s face brightened like a star in the dark sky. She was about to scoop him into her arms, Alvin swiftly went behind Zane and wrapped his arm around Zane\'s stomach. He climbed the stairs, bluntly saying, "Your mommy is exhausted after work."
Anya: "..."
She was inarticulate to the bones looking at Alvin hanging Zane on the arm as if her baby was a piece of cloth that was being taken inside after drying under the sun. Although she and Zane play around and do mischief, she never carried him in strange ways.
Zane heard Alvin\'s words but who the hell holds kids that way? "Chipmunk Monster put me down." He struggled, kicking his legs and flapping hands but nothing was helpful against the strong thick arm under the suit jacket.
Anya snapped out and ran upstairs, "Alvin…" Anyway, she paused when her eyes landed on Krystle who was in Linus\'s t-shirt and with nothing on her long lean legs.
Anya: "..."
Alvin could ignore every other woman on the earth so he didn\'t bat an eyelid when he passed by her, watching the little brat struggling.
Anya tilted her head watching her friend. She hissed watching the barley dried wet hair, bare and fresh skin without any skincare product. Her eyes paused at the hem of the t-shirt. She started wondering whether Krystle doesn\'t feel cold.
"Krystie… don\'t you think it\'s a bit… too short?" Krystle was using Anya\'s nightdress and Anya\'s room whenever she came to the Oasis mansion. Nevertheless, the girl was too comfortable with Linus. Anya could bet their relationship wasn\'t just enjoying a night or two, much deeper than what it appeared.
Krystle teased, stretching a leg out and posing seductively, "Why!? Are you afraid that I might steal your boyfriend away?" She looked enchanting with the wet hair.
That thought never crossed Anya\'s mind. If Krystle did like Alvin, she would avoid Alvin for Anya without letting her know.
Anya shook her head and promptly responded, "I am afraid that you are going to be a bad influence on my baby." Krystle was a tall lady whereas Zane was a kid with a short height. Although he was a gentleman, she didn\'t want his eyes to fall on something it shouldn\'t, even by chance.
Krystle squinted her eyes for calling her a bad influence on her godson. She considered changing clothes however she wasn\'t going to let her friend off so easily.
She suddenly grabbed the hem of Anya\'s red slit and spread it aside. She watched Anya\'s slender leg like a pervert, "Oh… Is this giving him a good influence, Sweetie?" She trailed her words.
Anya: "...."
Her friend was always shameless, and Anya wasn\'t surprised by her actions. Nevertheless, she was wearing Alvin\'s overcoat that covered her well enough.
She flung her friend\'s hand and flashed a knowing smile, "Oh dear Krystie, we have a lot to catch up with." She peeked at Linus who was on a call, going towards them. And looked back at Krystle flashing the same dangerous smile.
Krystle didn\'t mean to hide from Anya. She was waiting for Anya to get some free time. "Annie… Wait… I am gonna spend my night with you."
It was their girls\' night. However Anya humored, shrugging Krystle\'s hands from her shoulder, "Yo- I am not into girls." She looked at her friend and winked, "I have a boyfriend."
Krystle grinned hearing her friend showing off, for having a boyfriend. If Alvin could keep her happy, Krystle wished nothing more for her best friend who could get everything for herself.
She leaped and wrapped her hand around Anya\'s waist. Tugging Anya closer, Krystle used her slender long fingers to tuck Anya\'s hair behind her ear, "Give it a thought, Pretty Lady. You might never get a better catch, to swing both the sides."
Anya looked at her brazen friend and burst into laughter. She rejected her again, continuing to flirt with her, "I am too expensive."
"Aish, let me pour all my wealth for you, sweetheart."
"Tsk…" Anya shook her head and countered again, pretending to be disappointed, "It\'s pity that you couldn\'t match my boyfriend,"
Krystle drastically swung her hand in the air and exclaimed, "Let me unleash my beauty, get all the rich young sexy men as my boyfriends. I will bring their wealth and make you mine."
Alvin: "..."
He had put Zane in his room when he heard the two ladies flirting. He was standing right behind them, narrowing his eyes at the two.
Fishing his mobile out, he messaged Linus, [Take your woman away from mine.] Then he went to his room.
Linus: "..."
After his call from the NGO, he went to Alvin\'s room. He was dilly-dallying in his room until Alvin went out in nightwear. "Bro… The ladies are having ladies\' night." He held two whiskey glasses in the air, "Let\'s have bro\'s night!!"
Alvin narrowed his eyes at his brother. He ordered his brother to separate the women but his brother was planning to drink with him, influenced by those women.
\'Knock… Knock…\'
The two turned to the door. Linus was confused and Alvin hoped for his Little Donut, but the one to appear was Little Brat who was sent away from his mother and godmother.
Alvin\'s lips twitched uncontrollably. He couldn\'t believe Zane was really going to sleep with him and Anya.
Linus kept the glass away, "Hey Little Champ, were you also thrown out by the ladies?"
In no time, the bro\'s night changed to kids\' night. Alvin gritted his teeth seeing the two watching anime shows sitting on his bed.
—–––––
In the next room, Anya and Krystle snuggled under the duvet with a tray of snacks and wine. "Start, start…." Anya demanded.
Krystle was excited to speak about Linus with Anya. Without knowing where to start, she asked in curiosity, "What do you think of Linus?" She thought to know her opinion first.
Anya could see the eagerness and interest of her friend in a man. She promptly responded, "He is very straight forward hence he might appear rude sometimes. Sometimes he is so attentive that it\'s frightening. Or else he will be like a young man enjoying his time."
Krystle watched her friend in confusion. Linus with her was different from Linus, who Anya was speaking about. She vigorously shook her head, "You know nothing about him…"
Anya wanted to palm her face. Of course, she knows nothing about Linus. She only spoke what she knew.
Krystle continued without pause, "He blends with all kinds of people like jel, yet he looks cool. You should see how calmly he interacted with those poor, environmental refugees. At the same time, he is quite responsible with his work and leads so many volunteers like an expert.
Of course, it\'s a different thing that he is good on the bed, he always takes care of my needs and comfort before his.
I ran out of sanitary pads two days ago at my apartment. I was about to ask my brother, Linus contacted me to ask me for dinner. He heard me, came to my place with pads, then he shopped for groceries in the supermarket, cooked for me, and stayed with me all night …" She was still in awe of Linus\'s actions.
Anya tossed pistachios into her mouth, one after the other as she sipped wine, hearing her friend singing praises for a man for the first time.
Anya had thought of herself as naive but her friend was no different. She looked like an excited girl who got pampered by the man she liked.
Usually, the men she had seen around Krystle were just interested in her body for their physical satisfaction or her family name.
If Linus was just interested in her friend\'s body, just to have fun for a few days, he wouldn\'t have taken care of Krystle so well. So Linus definitely earned brownie points there.
Well, it didn\'t stop there. Anya heard her friend brief many small incidents that attracted her to Linus for his personality.
While narrating, Krystle didn\'t realize she poured wine into Anya\'s glass who couldn\'t handle alcohol more than a cup. Anya, who was watching her friend glowing and excited, assumed it was her first glass.
In the end, "I should definitely keep him, what do you say?" She anticipated her friend\'s response which mattered too much for her.
Anya had a silly smile on her flushed face. Her lids blinked dreamily. She rapidly nodded her head to the question and grinned, "You are so happy to be with him." She hugged her friend like a happy child, "Stop fooling around. Get a boyfriend."
Krystle looked at her untouched wine flute and slapped her forehead. This was the third time she made her friend drunk.
Handling the drunk Anya? Krystle swallowed hard remembering her experiences.
She coaxed the sweet girl in her arms, "Alright, I will listen to you. Now, let\'s sleep." She chanted \'please, please….\' in her mind.
Anya sat back suddenly and grabbed her wine flute, "We should celebrate your happiness." She exclaimed loudly.
Krystle grabbed the wine bottle as fast as she could when Anya was peeping into her empty flute, without finding red liquid in it. "Who stole my wine?" Anya demanded, with a big fat pout on her lips.
Krystle was breathing a sigh of relief when she noticed Anya\'s eyes sparkle and lips curl up. Before she could react, her untouched wine flute was in Anya\'s hand.
Anya announced holding the wine glass high, repeating Krystle\'s words that she had done years ago in the club, "Cheers to your happiness," Then she started drinking the wine like water.
Krystle fell on the bed, cursing herself. She was the one who does bottoms up showing her happiness. If sober Anya is sensible to know it was nonsense, the drunk Anya copies every stupidity.
Anya placed the flute down, brushing her lips with her backhand. She flashed such an innocent smile to Krystle that Krstyle melted down, smiling like a fool. However, Krystle\'s jaw dropped when Anya started searching on the bed for a wine bottle.
When Anya didn\'t find the bottle, she raised her hand, "Waiter…" She called out loudly, "One more bottle of wine to the table." She said loudly as though there was loud music playing in the room.
Krystle, who knew stopping drunk Anya doesn\'t work, was racking her brain. Suddenly a person crossed her mind and a cunning smile appeared on Krystle\'s face.
Well, she has somebody else to take care of her drunk friend and see whether he would take care of Anya or take advantage of Anya.
