Chapter 223: Having fun around

Alice flashed her bright smile at Noah before moving her attention to the girl standing behind him with a baffled expression.

She could guess by her looks that she wasn’t expecting Noah to have someone but she was too shocked to question him.

"Excuse me" composing herself, the blonde woman walked away without sparing a single glance at the man she was flirting with a while ago.

Once the woman was nowhere to be seen Alice then looked back at the man who was now hiding his face meeting her questioning eyes. Even if she was upset she couldn’t show it knowing how many people they were circled with.

She opened her mouth to say something but she could and closed it shut before she turned and walked away from there without confronting him. If he wanted to act single, then let it be.

Noah was waiting for some beating but when that didn’t happen, he slowly lifted his head and his eyes grew big as he watched her walk away from him.

"Is she alright?" he thought getting confused by her action and silently followed her passing through the crowd.

On the dance floor, Tristan had been trying to keep his act. He made sure to maintain his distance from the girl, who tried to touch him while dancing.

Just when he thought, his patience was wearing out he stopped and excused himself. He looked around to see Ashley because he had seen her with the group when he pulled out his act.

But now, when he wanted to see her reaction she wasn’t there.

"Where did she go?" he mumbled and began to exit from the dance floor when his eyes went to the other side.

His lips curled up slightly when he saw her look at him but then she averted her eyes and his smile dropped.

’It’s time for revenge Mr. Knight’

With a playful smile on her lips, Ashley stopped once she was in the center. Slowly swaying her hips, she looked at Tristan and began to move on to the music.

Roaming her palms on her curves Ashley closed her eyes and began to dance.

Tristan’s eyes which were smiling before turned fierce as he watched other guys approaching her.

She wanted him to taste his own medicine and now when he was getting the bitterness burning his heart, he couldn’t stand it and marched towards her.

Tristan saw her smirk as she circled her arms around a random man and continued dancing.

He was reminded of the night of her breakup. She was wasted and didn’t realize what she doing, catching everyone’s attention towards her. But now, it was different. She was purposely testing him.

"She is with me" Tristan pulled the guy away from her and shot a glare at him which was enough for the man to walk away.

Turning his attention back towards Ashley, he saw her smile foolishly before he pulled her by her waist forcefully," What was that Ash"

Tristan couldn’t contain his rage and pierced his angry eyes boring into her silly one. He was about to drag her but stopped when he watched her smile.

Tristan wasn’t able to see her face clearly because of the light but he could tell she was smiling and that laughter sounded silly

"Y-you got jealous Tristan" Ashley lost her balance and she gripped Tristan’s arms to balance herself.

Giving her a confusing look, Tristan tried to understand her behavior when again the lights changed giving proper access to her face that seemed pinked.

’Is she drunk’ he thought and watched her shake her head as she cleared her blurry vision.

Slamming her palm lightly on his chest, Ashley asked," You didn’t answer me, Tristan. W-where you jealous" craning her head she looked at him with a small cute pout.

Tristan closed his eyes when the realization struck. The thought that kept bothering him happened. Ladies and Gentleman... his wife was drunk. GREAT...

Cupping her face Tristan tried to divert her mind," Can we skip this and get out of here" he knew it was a risk to stay in the club when there were high chances of Ashley acting out of her character.

"No!... I am not going anywhere unless you answer me" Ashley shook her head, denying his words and standing firm to her words.

She was so upset watching him dance with some other girl that she ended up gulping five shots of the drink she had ordered and reached the dance floor to get even with him.

At first, she was enjoying every bit of her revenge, watching Tristan’s expression change from happy to shock to fierce. But soon the drink kicked into her system and she started feeling light head.

Tristan sighed when she didn’t agree with him and regretted acting stupid to prove his point. He thought making her realize how he felt when someone tried to lay their eyes on her, they would finally understand their concern but everything backfired, and now his wife was questioning him if he was jealous or not.

Of course, he was jealous. He so wanted to rip that shoulders off where she rested her hands on but he stopped himself from doing anything bizarre and catching everyone’s attention on them.

Looking at Ashley eagerly looking eyes, he sighed and rested his forehead on her, "Yes, Ash... I was jealous" his words weren’t out of annoyance or forcefulness but they came from his heart.

How could he not get threatened when he saw her dancing with someone else? She belonged to him and no one could ever take her away from him.

Satisfied with his answers, Ashley couldn’t help but smile. It was as if she had won a debate and was now, content. She was savoring the mood when suddenly her smile dropped and she pushed him, looking into his face sadly.

Tristan couldn’t understand why would she move away from him, but when he met her upset eyes, he felt a pang in his heart.

"You hurt me, Tristan" her lips quivered as she recalled the moment she saw him enjoying his time with someone else. She wasn’t someone who liked to claim anyone but he wasn’t someone else, he was her man.

Though she understood the reason behind his actions but it was too harsh in the way it was conveyed.

Tristan opened his mouth to explain but before could utter a word she turned and left from there disappearing into the crowd.

His eyes wandered looking for her but the light again dimmed and he wasn’t able to locate her.

"Damn..." he cursed and sprinted making his way out of the crowd and leaving the dance floor.

Alice reached the bar counter and ordered a drink for herself before she gulped it in one go.

"One more," she said asking the bartender to make another drink for her.

Quickly pouring another glass for her, Alice was about to gulp it down when the glass in her hand was snatched forcefully.

"You aren’t drinking Alice" Noah took the glass from her hand and kept it aside.

He knew his actions earlier had upset her but had reasons to act so. That doesn’t mean she would go bottling it inside her.

Alice shot a glare at him and frown," And who are you to stop me?" she asked.

She was in no mood to argue with him. She needs the train of thoughts running in her brain to stop and for that, she had to calm herself.

"Aren’t you single, then go and enjoy your time flirting with that blonde" rolling her eyes she turned her head to the bartender and asked him for another drink.

Noah arched his brow staring at Alice with a complicated expression. Was she jealous? he thought and his lips curled up into a satisfied smile.

So their plan worked. They wanted them to know what kind of emotional roller coaster ride they go through at that moment very moment when anyone gawks at their girls.

They feel like plucking those eager eyes and throwing them for the eagle to feast on them. But they control themselves because they want to act sensible in front of their partners.

Now, they would finally understand them, he thought and averted his attention at Alice who gulped the drink in front of him.

Smiling pleasingly, he leaned closer to her and muttered," Are you, jealous babe"

It was obvious by the way she reacted just now, but he was too eager to listen her confess.

Alice paused and turned her eyes to see him twitch his brows mischievously, understood what he was trying to do.

I know what you are trying to do Noah, but too bad that I won’t be fulfilling your wish.

"Huh, who said I am jealous" Alice shrugged with an evil gleam appearing on her lips as she spoke.

Keeping back the glass in her hand on the counter’s surface, Alice swirled her seat and faced him.

"Didn’t you want to be single" her words made him frown and he heard her continue," then let’s keep it that. I give you the liberty to forget me for a day and enjoy your bachelorhood and that same implies to me too"

Noah’s crease disappeared and his eyes grew wide," What do you mean" he asked somehow guessing the meaning behind her words but he was too scared to accept.

Bringing her hand close to his chest she started making circles on it and answered, "It means... just like you, even I’m single now. And now, that we aren’t bound to each other, let’s enjoy our time flirting and having fun around"
