Chapter 93 - You Are Awake
"I am afraid of nothing. I am not making a wish because right now there is nothing you can offer me that I don't have. You won't give me what I really want so why waste that precious wish on something trivia," Jackson said but he made sure that she did not hear the last part of his sentence.
"Ok, suit yourself," Jasmine said as she went back to her seat. Jeff and Steve spared the space on the couch Jasmine was sitting for Jackson.
"You have been treating us coldly since this morning, did we perhaps do something wrong. I mean it was just yesterday we played and chatted like friends. You even kissed me but now you are back to your old self. You are getting me all confused Cat," Jeff said in low tones.
"I kissed you? What the heck are you talking about? I would never do such a thing. You are accusing me wrongly, " Catherine shouted subconsciously standing up.
"What is going on here? Who kissed whom?" Jasmine asked when she saw how agitated the usual composed Catherine was.
"He said I kissed him last night but I know that he is lying. You believe that I would never do such a thing right?" Catherine asked. The expression on her face showed she desperately needed Jasmine support.
"I can testify to what Jeff said. I was right beside him when Catherine kissed him last night," Steve quickly proved Jeff's words right.
"Cat, kissed him? Why would she do that?" Jasmine asked in disbelief.
"They were both talking about their likes and dislikes when the drunk Catherine started playing with his eyebrows. She kept on telling him that he was handsome and before I knew what was happening she kissed him on his lips. The kiss was very hot and intense. I was shocked out of my wits but I still manage to get footage of the kissing scene with my phone after I had gotten over the shock," Steve narrated what happened before Jeff could.
"You knew I was drunk but you took advantage of my vulnerability. I never knew you were such a jerk," Catherine said as she touched her pink lips.
"Cat, please don't say that about me. Since I was more sober than you I tried to push you away but you wouldn't budge. After I finally managed to push you off after so many minutes of struggling you still stubbornly kissed me. I did not take advantage of you but you did so it should be me who should be angry and not you," Jeff said in his defence.
The once furious Catherine cooled down when she heard that she was the perpetrator. She was so embarrassed that she took advantage of a guy when she was drunk, she felt like finding a place to hide.
"Cat, you have always scolded me for acting naughty when I am drunk, I can't believe you are naughtier than me when you are drunk," Jasmine said teasingly. Jackson stares at the two guys suspiciously. He could not guess whether they were honest about their words or whether they made up the entire incident.
"Jeff, Cat is not usually that bold when she is drunk. I don't know what you told her that made her get interested in you last night so forgive her for assaulting you," Jasmine apologized on Catherine's behalf.
"I am sorry dude, I will make sure to restrain myself from drinking so much next time," Catherine apologised before she sat down on the couch.
"As long as you don't stop being friends with me because of what happened then I am cool with it," Jeff said coolly.
"Sure," Catherine said firmly. They all began drinking. After about ten minutes, the room service arrived with their order of delicacies. The five strangers who came on the trip with various motives but happens to become friends drank for a long time. Jasmine forced Jackson to drink until he got dead drunk. They drank until they fall asleep on the couches.
Because of how drunk they were, they ended up waking up in the afternoon. If they had slept just two hours more they would have ended up missing their flights.
Jasmine was the first person to wake up. She rubbed her eyes as she tried to sit up on the couch. Her sleepy eyes widened in shock when she realised that she was lying on top of Jackson's body. She quickly covered her mouth to prevent any sound from coming out.
Damn! How could I lay on his body for an entire night? I guess Cat was right in always stopping me from getting drunk. I tend to act way out of character when I am drunk.
Jasmine thought as she gently tried to stand up without waking Jackson up. Her plan wasn't successful because Jackson woke up because of her struggles.
"You are awake," Jasmine who just lowered her gaze to see Jackson's eyes open said awkwardly. She quickly stood up from his body when he just kept on staring at her face like she had something on it.
"What is it? You keep staring at me," Jasmine said. Although his scrutinizing stares made her uncomfortable, she did not let it show on her face.
"I wanted to make sure you were back to your usual self," Jackson said as he arranged his dishevelled white shirt.
"Was my cuteness way too much for you to handle yesterday which is why...,"
"Aren't you gonna wake your friend up? We are almost late for our flight," Jackson who just checked his wristwatch interrupted her abruptly.
"Damn!" Jasmine cursed as she went closer to the couch Catherine and the guys were sitting on. She chuckled when she saw the position Catherine was lying in.
"Each time your best friends are around I always get to see a different side of Cat that I haven't seen. What has your friends done to my Cat?" Jasmine asked her eyes glued on Catherine who's upper body was resting on Jeff sitting beside her while her legs were on Steve's laps.
