PS I'm Over You

Imagine their surprise when they felt someone just intruded their booth. Aya couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Evan, picking up his drunken fiancee. Ginny, while asleep, was murmuring about the slice of cake she kept at home. Clutching Evan's red shirt, she cried as she said someone stole it from the fridge.

Louie gently helped his wife, Erica, to her feet. While he was a bit taller than her, her strength was still comparable to a man. Erica pulled his short ponytail, and he whined back at her.

"Oww… oww… darling. That hurts." He cried.

"I just knew it! You can't help yourselves but spy on us!" She retorted.

He was happy that he made the right decision to allow the twin girls to have a grand sleepover at Elder Han's mansion together with Skyler and Jiro, Aya's five-year-old son. Even if they had been married for three years now—and she could beat a grown-up man, he couldn't help but worry about her.

When Aya and Erica noticed the tall figure of Eli hovering down the sleeping artist on the corner, they wondered if he heard what Ririna said earlier. They could not make a conclusion based on his facial reaction. Erica had expected that Evan and Louie would spy on them as usual, but she had never thought that Eli would be with them tonight.

His face was cold and serious as ever. Tonight, he seemed to have dressed down. Instead of his usual business suit, he was wearing a white dress shirt and simple black pants. The first two buttons of his shirt were open, and his sleeves were folded up to his elbows.

Picking up the girls so they could bring them home, Evan managed to take his fiancee and Aya back to their car while Louie took his wife and the car both Erica and Ririna used earlier. It wasn't very surprising when Eli took Ririna by himself without asking the other guys.

When Eli took her out of the club, she suddenly let out a giggle. Her arms wrapped around his neck while his arm hooked behind her knees to lift her up and carry her. Looking up to the man who was carrying her, Ririna cupped both sides of Eli's cheeks, surprising the man with her bold actions.

"Hi, baby, " she greeted him. Eli quirked a brow. Did she just call him 'baby'?

"Mmmm… my baby looks so grown up and handsome. Look at me, baby, I'm a princess! See?" Ririna said and then pointed up to the small silvery tiara on her head.

"Yes, yes. You are a beautiful princess. My Princess, " he replied. He was quietly amused by this drunken side of Ririna.

"Oh, baby. You are my little prince forever, but I'm not gonna be a princess. Nah… ah…" She waved her finger at his face. Little? Did he look like a small kid to this woman?

"Why?" He asked as he tried to cover up her body with her white coat. She was wearing a short black dress underneath.

"Because a princess can't marry the dragon. I mean the devil." Her head slightly wobbled on his chest. She's speaking about him, wasn't she? Eli narrowed his gray eyes down at the woman in his arms.

"…"

"But hey, I chose to become a witch just to be with the devil before. Baby, you are looking so—so—so grown up, but I still wanna kiss your chubby cheeks right now." Eli felt Ririna was going crazy right now. She's been treating him like a kid and calling him her baby.

"Hey!" Ririna called, pulling his face down to her because he didn't respond to what she just said.

"Right, I'm your devil," he grudgingly complied, and she released his face, nodding at his words. He felt her warm breath, tickling his throat.

"Hmmm. Goood… good. I'm giving away my tiara so I can be the devil's witch. Do you think he will like me? Hmm?" Eli knew he would suffer another headache soon. He never knew Ririna could be like this when she's drunk.

No one told him that a drunken Ririna was bad for his mental health.

"Don't worry, the devil likes you," he assured her as he sat her down on the passenger seat of his car. How did he end up with this situation again?

"But he didn't love me." Ririna cried, which caught him off guard."He didn't want me as me." What did she mean by that?

"I wanna be a princess, too, you know." She laughed, but her tears already stained her cheeks. "But I can never be one because there's only one witch for the devil. I'm soooo… in love with the devil before; can't I be both his witch and his princess instead?"

Eli did not know how to respond to that. He knew Ririna had some special feelings for him, but he did not expect that it would be this deep. His cold, stoic mask cracked on her sudden confession.

"It is useless to be a witch when the devil doesn't even want you, " she sighed. "I'm going to be a queen… I'll protect you instead, baby." She let out a girlish giggle.

He still failed to say a word to the drunken woman on his car. For how long was she in love with him? Was this why she left him years ago? Didn't she know he would treat her like a queen if only she chooses to be with him once again? What did she mean when she said earlier that he couldn't give her what she truly wanted?

Didn't she love him anymore? She's already giving up on him?

Driving away from the club, he gave her a side glance from his seat. The yellow light from the street lights made her sleeping form attractive. She fell asleep as soon as he started to drive away. He knew where she was staying, but he could not possibly take her to her place without explaining why she was with him. The security within the Peach Blossom Garden was quite heavy.

He didn't want to start a rumor about Ririna. It would also cause trouble and issues if the Han Family found out about it. He knew that she would probably get mad at him once she woke up, but he decided to let her stay in his place tonight.

He wouldn't be able to see her for two weeks. Brushing away some stray locks from her beautiful face, he wondered what really happened between the two of them.
