Bab 33: The Date (2)

The dinner was ordered. Adrianna saw that Keisha had ordered for Dmitri, making her wolf so jealous that she clenched her fists. He was doing that on purpose.

Nate and Okashi were chatting enthusiastically while the rest of them, except for Dmitri, were feeling uncomfortable in each other's presence.

"Let's celebrate," said Dmitri. He waved to a waiter and asked him to get a bottle of wine.

"Please get the most expensive wine in your cellar. We are celebrating here."

The waiter nodded with a polite smile and came back in a few minutes with a bottle of red wine.

Dmitri personally poured the wine into glasses for all of them.

"Cheers," he said, raising the glass. Okashi and Nate happily toasted while Niiya, Keisha and Adrianna were barely courteous. While they were having their wine, the dinner arrived. The conversation was so minimal that Niiya felt stifled. He could feel Dmitri's glare, and he didn't like it. The way Dmitri was glaring at him seemed as if he would eat him alive.

Adrianna had never had wine in her life. She looked at Keisha and saw that she was gulping it, so she did the same. She quickly downed the first glass and found Dmitri pouring her another glass. She picked up her glass and decided to go slow with it, because the first one had made her throat and stomach burn.

Niiya chided, "You need to have that slowly!" This was not his idea of date. It was getting ruined because of his sister. He thought of excusing himself and Adrianna as soon as the dinner was over, however, Niiya felt sleepy. Adrianna was on her third glass by then, and was already giggling and making funny noises.

Keisha looked at her in disdain.

It took exactly twenty minutes for Niiya to pass out after having his first glass of wine. Okashi was bewildered at her brother's low tolerance for wine.

"You should take him home as soon as possible," said Dmitri, looking at the nervous Okashi.

She nodded and got up saying, "I am sorry Nate. This was ruined because of Niiya. Could you please help me get Niiya into the car?"

"Yes, of course," said Nate.

Nate picked up Niiya and went outside, followed by Keisha.

Adrianna was not able to get up from her seat. She was giggling away. She looked at Dmitri and said, "Where have they all gone? Has Niiya passed out? We were on a date." She laughed uncontrollably.

Dmitri came to her side, and pulled her up. She was feeling so weak in the knees that she was unable to get up. She lost her balance and fell onto his chest, her head lolling. Dmitri wrapped his arms around her and softly whispered, "You are not allowed to go on a date with anyone."

She smelled him and felt warm. She looked up at him again and said, "Dmitri, I hate you," before she started giggling again.

Dmitri stared into her droopy eyes, getting intoxicated by them. He then picked her up and lugged her onto his shoulders before carrying her outside.

He saw Keisha and Nate waiting for him. "Nate, take Keisha back. I will drop Adrianna home before heading back."

Keisha was so jealous that she clenched her fist and gave Dmitri an angry glare, but he wasn't even paying attention.

He carried the giggling Adrianna to his car.

While on his shoulders, Adrianna said, "Put me down." And when he didn't, she swatted his hips with a loose hand. Dmitri's blood rushed to his member, making it difficult for him to walk. He slapped her back saying, "Behave, or I will spank you harder!"

Adrianna giggled and hit him back. Thankfully, they had reached the car where he strapped her into the passenger seat.

He smiled, and drove the car to her cottage. His plan had worked perfectly. Not only was he successful in drugging Niiya, but he was also successful in getting his Adrianna back.
