His Beautiful Addiction

Michael's hands were around her waist and even with the probing eyes on them, he didn't let go of her. They were sitting around a center table that had numerous bottles of wine on it.

Diana smiled as she greeted the people in the room as they walked past; Michael only greeted the people she greeted, he didn't even want to stay longer, but as he turned to tell Diana that they should leave after greeting everyone, Caroline walked up to them with a grin on her lips;

''Oh, see who is here! Diana and Michael! '' she beamed as she approached them;

''You finally made it, the director asked about you guys for almost ten times today, you know how he is.''

Diana laughed; ''yeah, something came up that's why we are late. ''

''Okay. Come, come over here, there are seats for you guys. Caroline led them to a sparsely occupied couch around the table and Michael sat after Diana.

''Hi, Michael, we meet again; ''

Diana's eyes turned to the woman who spoke. She recognized her, she was the one who sat down after she left and talked with Michael at the welcome party. She was pretty with a huge chest. Diana wasn't sure if it was fake or real. If it was real, then that was a hell of a huge chest.

Unfortunately, she was one of her friends in the movie; Diana wondered how she would be able to act with her when she was already chasing after her man without even acknowledging her. She had signed the contract already; else she would have changed her role.

''Oh, Hi… '' Michael stared at her as though trying to remember where he met her;

''Melissa, from the welcome party; '' She smiled sweetly.

''Oh, yeah, Melissa, how are you? ''

''I'm good, and you? ''

Diana scoffed within her, the nerves that she would actually talk to Michael completely ignoring the fact that she was with him. She looked away from them and her eyes locked in another man's gaze. He was handsome but Michael had more tempting eyes. 

Diana smiled at him and looked away but he greeted,

''Hi, Diana, ''

Her gaze turned back to him and she smiled;

''Hello, ''

''You don't remember me? '' he asked with a smirk on his lips. Diana squinted as she stared at him, then her eyes widened when she remembered who he was.

''David! '' She laughed; ''so sorry, here is a bit dark so I didn't recognize you at first glance; how have you been?! '' he was one of the men she had acted with in the past, and they even shared a kiss scene in a movie.

''I've been well, you? ''

''Doing perfectly fine, what are you doing here? '' the last time she remembered, he didn't have a role in the movie.

''Well, some changes were made at the eleventh hour and I'm taking Jeffery's role. ''

Diana's brows creased,

''What? Didn't know about that! No-one has said anything to me. '' she said, looking surprised, a major character was changed and she didn't know about it?

''Yeah, it has not been finalized yet. The team would look over it tomorrow, which includes you, I was just told about it today though. ''

''Oh, okay. But what happened with Jeffery? ''

She asked creasing her brows; she really liked him to play the role.

''He has a surgery coming up, so he can't make it to the shoots. ''

''Oh; '' Diana sighed, now she remembered, he had talked about having an appendix surgery, he said it wouldn't affect the movie but it seemed that wasn't the case.

''Alright, it's strange finding out from you, but whatever, I'm happy you're here. ''

Diana smiled at him; ''this is Michael; he is playing the supporting character role, alongside me. '' she introduced Michael;

''it's good to see you;'' David turned and greeted Michael as though he was just seeing him for the first time. They shared a glance and Michael greeted.

''I was surprised when I heard you were taking a supporting role, your career is way past that. ''

The man said as his eyes turned back to look at Diana.

''I intentionally chose his role cause I didn't want something very stressful. ''

''Mm, that's good. ''

He smiled; ''I was looking forward to working with you again, too bad… ''

Michael was uncomfortable with the way he looked at Diana but when he said those words, he knew his intuition was right. At that moment, he felt bile rise up his mouth, he hated this David already; Diana chuckled;

'We still have a lot of scenes together though. '' she said with a smile and he nodded;

Diana peeked at the woman who was talking with Michael but she was no longer there, she wondered where she had gone to, well, she was happy to finally have her man to herself.

''Hey guys, can we play a game before we go, since we are already here, let's have some fun! ''

Diana's eyes looked up and saw that woman in the center of the room, holding a wine glass in her hands, now she looked at her very well, her backside was as curvy as the front, with thin waists, the men in the room could not stop staring.

''What do you propose we do?''

A woman asked,

''What about truth or dare? ''

''No!! '' everyone screamed, that was a dirty game and they were not about doing things they didn't want to do.

''It's fun, come on! '' Diana stared at her, she knew why she was insisting on truth and dare, but she wasn't even going to let Michael play that game.

''Melissa, no truth or dare! '' someone screamed from the room and Melissa rolled her eyes;

''Alright, so what else? Rock, paper, scissors? ''

''Yeah, that's better.'' Everyone agreed, and she nodded;

''Alright, the one who fails must drink a glass of wine, agreed?''

''Yeah! '' Diana just watched them; at least this game was better than the former.

''Should we leave now? '' Michael asked and she smiled;

''Maybe we should leave after the game? ''

''Okay; '' Michael agreed;

 ''Rock paper scissors; '' she chuckled when the first person on the other end of the couch lost; he filled his wine glass and downed it. The line continued until it was their turn; Michael played with the person by his side first and won, so he turned and played with Diana, who lost;

She giggled as everyone booed her to drink her wine. Taking the glass, she downed it in one go and raised her glass up.

The line went another round, and this time she lost again; after drinking her wine, Michael whispered in her ears what he would play next, she didn't have a high tolerance to alcohol, so he knew she would get drunk if she drank any more glasses of that wine.

But unfortunately, Michael lost this time, and Diana played with who won and she lost; her cheeks turned a shade of red as she downed the glass. Michael knew she was getting tipsy from how her hands shook as she drank the wine slowly.

''let's stop playing now,'' he said to her but she shook her head.

''No, no, I want to win even if it's once.''

A sigh left Michael's lips as he watched her lose two more times before he called it quits.

Standing up, he pulled her up with him;

''Sorry guys, we'll be leaving now. You guys have fun. '' He smiled at them and Diana waved. Her steps faltered as they walked out of the room, her eyes were already turning.

''It looks like I'm drunk; '' she laughed as she held his arm.

''Obviously, you are; '' she swayed and Michael held her waists, propping her up.

''You don't have any tolerance to alcohol and yet you kept drinking. '' he scolded her.

Diana pouted; ''I wanted to win once. ''

Michael sighed and opened the car door, placing her in, and then he closed the door after her.

Going over to the driver's side, he got in;

He should have stopped her when she was still sane, now she was passed out drunk. Michael sighed as he drove out of the parking lot.

Diana was sleeping and murmuring something; He turned to look at her;

''What did you say? ''

She murmured again and then suddenly, she started crying like a baby.

His lips fell open;

''Diana, what's wrong? Why are you crying? '' He was shocked; she was a totally different person when she was drunk.

''I want to bathe. ''

''Bab.. bathe? '' Michael could not believe his ears, why did she want to bath all of a sudden?

''Wait, we're inside the car, when we get home you can bathe. ''

''No! I want to bathe now, here's so hot,'' she whined and began taking off her dress.

Michael instantly stretched his hand ad stopped her;

''What are you doing?'' she was driving him crazy. Quickly, he drove to the side of the road and stopped the car, then walked over to her side.

''babe, '' he called squatting down in front of her. Diana opened her eyes weakly to look at him; she squinted and widened her eyes as though she could not recognize who he was;

''There's no water here, but just keep your clothes on, you'll have a bath in less than twenty minutes, okay? ''

As though she just recognized him when he spoke, she smiled;

''Michael? ''

''Yeah, it's me. Don't undress here okay? ''

Diana smiled and nodded; ''Okay. We're still on the road? ''

''Yeah, we'll be home in a few minutes. ''

She nodded and closed her eyes. Michael heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, thankfully she was back to her senses.

Or maybe not…
