Chapter 186: Helpful Brothers

Erasmi stared down at the message that he had written, wondering if he should do this or not. Demon might actually atttempt to kill him if he did... As this thought occurred in his mind, Erasmi made up his mind and pressed the send icon.

Erasmi: *asking for a friend* Need to woo a girl but the man has been friend-zoned. Give ideas to come out of that."

Sebastian: "E, Why did you create a separate group chat for that? You want to hide it from Nora? Is it that hot friend of hers? The one you had been eyeing all night on her birthday?"

Ian: "You just got out of the ’sleep’ zone and you’ve been friend-zoned already? Also, please stop going after young girls! What is wrong with you and Demon? Going after young girls. What is wrong with an older and hotter woman? Is this some twin thing?"

Gabe: "When did you get a friend? And where? Who are you asking this for?"

Lucien: "You just need to be sincere..."

Seb: Why would you create a new group for romance advice and add Lucy? He has no experience in these things.

Gabe: "Actually, if we were to see age wise, while Erasmi is the eldest he has been stuck in the past so mental age-wise, Lucy is older than him. Maybe that is why Erasmi added him. E, even if you were not functional in the past decade, you have more experience than Lucy.

Lucien: ’’.."

Lucien frowned and typed furiously: "Why are you all attacking me? Erasmi has added Demon also. How does Demon have more experience?"

Ian: ...

Gabe: ...

Seb: ...

Demetri: "?"

Demetri: " I am the only one who is married. Of course, I have the most experience."

Lucien: Since when is marriage a pinnacle of romantic experience?

Erasmi shook his head in exasperation! These guys were just too...

Switching tabs, he messaged Demetri:

Erasmi: You have the most experience? Ha! I actually created this group to help you. So, what have you planned to do for Nora to court her with your vast experience?

D: I am taking her to dinner.

E: And then what? You will talk to her? And then take her home and make love! D! You’ve already been doing all that! You have to woo her. You need to ’do’ something! Like a grand gesture!

D: I don’t do grand gestures...

E: Well, you need to do it this time! I’ve already vetoed a few ideas for you. You cannot arrange for balloons or huge flower bouquets. They are too cliche. So is bringing her favourite food from somewhere. Proposing on the Eiffel tower is too common and arranging an amusement park for only the two of you is too movie-inspired. Thus, you need new ideas. So don’t try to brag in the group. Be humble and get ideas."

After scolding his twin in the personal chat, he switched back to the group chat!

Erasmi: "All of you are as helpful as a teapot! Stop talking nonsense and give me ideas! My friend is desperate!"

Demetri raised an eyebrow. He was desperate? He’d had no idea...

Seb: That is not good. He needs to relieve himself before going there. How will he please the woman if he is desperate?

Ian: Hey! Not everyone’s like you. Get your head out of the gutter.

Seb: It’s not in the gutter. It was actually between two very beautiful legs before you all interrupted me...

Gabe: Are you feeling nauseous, Seb?

Seb: Huh?

G: Well, why else did you put your head between your legs?

Ian: I bow to your roasting powers Gabe... P.S. His legs are not beautiful...

Erasmi was tempted to throw his phone against the wall. These guys...

Erasmi: "Do you guys have the attention span of a gnat? Instead of answering a simple question, all of you are going on blabbering nonsense!"

Gabe: Just ask your friend to arrange something memorable that the girl might enjoy.

Erasmi sighed. At least this one was some semblance of a suggestion. They would simply need to narrow down what Nora might enjoy. But...

Erasmi: "What if it backfires?"

Gabe: "Then it will be a memorable disaster instead of a memorable experience. Either way it becomes memorable. So?"

Erasmi could almost imagine his brother shrugging at this point and sighed.

Seb: "Just make sure whatever you plan is legal..."

Ian: "Be yourself but add some mystery to yourself."

Seb: *eye roll emoji* How do you suggest he add some mystery? Should he wear a cape? Or maybe a fedora and a Zorro mask?"

Ian: If he wants to. Just make sure not to trip over the cape...

Erasmi finally face-palmed himself and wrote angrily," You’re all impossible. I’m starting to regret seeking advice from you."

Seb: Don’t regret it, embrace it. You’re in the company of love experts, after all.

Lucien: You can serenade her? Sing her favourite song? Or your friend can write her a love letter expressing his feelings.

Ian: "Are you trying to recreate a 19th-century romantic comedy movie?"

Seb: Yup. All those suggestions are so last decade!"

Erasmi shook his head and stabbed his fingers at the screen and quickly removed them all from the group chat! He had a group of monkeys for brothers! Useless the lot of them.

Finally, he messaged Demetri," Are you sure about this dinner plan of yours?"

Demetri replied with a single affirmative word but Erasmi was still worried," And about the after-dinner part..."

"I’ve got that covered, E. Thanks for all the non-help."

Finally, Demetri turned on the silent mode on his phone as he continued to dress up for dinner. The entire discussion just now had made him realize how little he knew of Nora. The only things that he knew she enjoyed was reading novels. And maybe swimming... But what else? He needed to work on that project and do some research on Nora...

Suddenly the simple dinner date that he had envisaged had taken on a rather sinister turn, making him extremely uncomfortable...
