While Jini was searching in her closet for something to wear later at the gathering, when she heard someone knocking softly at the door. She knew it couldn"t be Mike since he doesn"t knock. Well, most of the time he uses the window to come inside her room. Since she was familiar with her brother"s knocking, and Dave wouldn"t come to her room since he was afraid that Bryan will end up their friendship if he would ever do that, so the only person left was Mark.- Come in, Mark.
- Hey. How did you knew it was me?
- Mike doesn"t knock, he comes straight in or through the window, Dave doesn"t dare to come in, is to afraid of my brother, Bryan"s knock very strong, and you are the only one that"s left.
- So, how was the date with my brother? Don"t try to hide anything for me and don"t deny it. I know that you are in love with my brother since we were in school together. I want all the juicy stuff.
- Since you already figure it out everything, aren"t you mad at me?
- Of course not, you"re my best friend, nothing will make me more happy than you getting together with Bryan. So, any progress so far?
- Well. sort of...
- Sort of?
- So far we only kissed... Mark said with a faint blush on his face.
Seeing that it only made Jini tease him more.
- From the blush on your face it"s clearly that you enjoyed my brother"s kisses very
much. You know there are two hours left before we"ll meet the others. Feel free to go to my brother"s room to continue what where you were doing yesterday.
- Hey. Okay. But first tell more about you and Mike. Does anyone from your family discovered that you two are together?
- No, and actually... Jini bend down and whispered something to Mark.
- No way... For real?
- Yes.
- You two are really good at deceiving everyone. Can"t wait to see everyone"s faces when they will find out.
As Jini and Mark laughed together, Mike came in through the window.
- Aren"t you two finished gossiping about your love life?
- Oh, not yet... but since you came will gossip more at the restaurant. Jini said as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and placed a kiss on Mike"s lips.
- Okay. I"m gonna leave you two lovebirds to do what ever you plan to do. Just remember you have an hour and half left. Oh, and Jini don"t worry about locking the door. Your brother won"t have time to check on you. Mark said as he winked at both of them then he left Jini"s room.
Later, at the restaurant...
Jini saw that Helen was a little stress out so, she went to talk with her:
- Helen don"t worry. Everything will be okay. Just relax and enjoy the evening.
- You"re right. I shouldn"t be afraid.
- You two girls haven"t touched the drinks at all. Dave said.
- We are drinking, can"t you see?
- Not mineral water or c.o.ke. Vodka, wine, tequila...
- Dave stop it. Bryan said.
- Have you forgot that they are flying tomorrow to France?
- Sorry, bro. My mistake. Then you have to drink instead of them.
- Dave, if you make my brother end up in the hospital like the last time when you made him drink. I won"t make your favorite cake anymore. Mark can I talk to you about something?
- Sure thing, Jini. What"s wrong? He said as they walked and sat down to a table in the restaurant so the others can not hear what where they talking about.
- I think I saw Danielle, when we came.
- What? Are you sure? Mark said as he took Jini"s hands in his.
- Yes. When I got out of the car she was across the street. She left when she saw me looking at her. But she might be around the restaurant trying to get close to Bryan. I need to leave early, so please take care of my brother.
- Don"t worry. Your brother is mine. I won"t let her do anything to him.
- Thanks, Mark. Let"s get back to the others. Jini said while she hugged Mark.
When Bryan saw how close Jini and Mark were. The fact when Mark took Jini"s hand in his. and when Jini hugged him made him so mad that he drank a whole tequila bottle. He didn"t realized that he got drunk because he was jealous of his own sister. When he was about to finish the second bottle he saw that his father was calling him on the phone, so he went outside the restaurant to talk to him.
As Jini and Mark came back, Jini noticed that her brother wasn"t there anymore, so she asked:
- Did you see where my brother went?
- He was at the bar a minute ago. Dave said.
- Oh, no. He drank two bottles of tequila. That can"t be good. Mike said.
- Let"s all split out and search for him. Dave you go to the restroom. Helen go inside the restaurant. Mike you go to the storage room. I will go to the office, and Mark you go outside. Be sure that who finds him first let the others know.
- Don"t worry Jini we will find him. Mark said as he went outside the restaurant. But as soon as he did that he saw Danielle helping Bryan getting on a taxi.
- Good thing that I came with my own car. Mark said as he got in and followed the taxi that Danielle and Bryan were. After twenty minutes the taxi finally stopped in front of Danielle"s place. When Mark finally arrived Danielle was already at her door, trying to open the door, while supporting the drunk Bryan. Seeing that Mark began to run towards them, grabbed Bryan from Danielle and said to her:
- What do you think you are doing?
