9 I am not drunk?

"Hiya!" I say to a complete stranger and give him a cheeky smile.

"Hi!" he says and walks away.

"April?" Nathan reaches out to me, "Why are you sitting on the floor?"

"Because it's nice!" I shrug, "Oh my God, gimme your hand!" Nathan gives me his hand and helps me to get up. I quickly run towards the kids section.

"April?" Nathan calls for me.

"Present sir!!" I yell and stretch my hand in the air.

"What the hell happened to you?" He gives me a confused, "Wait a second...have you been drinking?" He eyes the bottle in my hand.

"No?" I giggle.

"What are you drinking?" he takes the bottle from my hand and shakes it, checking how much is left of the content in the bottle. The answer is zero.

"Oh yeah, you should drink it too. I drank the whole bottle of a newly launched drink."

"Whole bottle?!!" he exclaims.

"Aah! You hurt my eardrum." I pout, "Nathan come with me!!" I take his hand and guide him to the kids section.

"Uh, why are we going to the kids section?"

"Shopping!!" I yell and see two-three people looking at me, "What are you looking at?" I snap at them.

"No, April you don't want to buy anything from there," He grabs my wrist, "Come on, we'll find something for you upstairs."

"No I have to go! Come with me. This is necessary." I catch my breath as I said too much too fast.

"April, what will you do of a 3 years old's frock?" Nathan asks me and tries to snatch it from me.

"No! We need it! What if we have kids some day! Then?" I say. He looks at me with widened eyes.

"What?" I say. Married couple have kids right? Or was it the opposite? Why is my brain not working? Or maybe it's working too fast?

"Uh- yeah- whatever you just can't buy it." he clears his throat.

"No!!! I want to! If we are not buying this then I'm not going back." I sit down on the floor.

"Oh dear lord! April, shut up and get up!" he says, "Get up, now!!"

"Boo!!" I show my thumbs down and turn away.

"April Grey!" he says with warning in his voice, "If you don't get up then I'll take you forcefully!"

"No!" I stick my tongue out. I'm not going to get up.

I see a bimbo giggling at me. She is giving a sympathetic look to Nathan. "Hey missy! What are you looking at? He's married to me, nothing is going to happen." I take his hand and wave it to show her the engagement ring. Nathan takes this moment to lift me over his shoulders and carry me out of the shop.

"Stop!! Put me down!!" I punch his back continuously, "Help! Help!" I yell and people look at us. He carries me to an elevator.

"Put me down!" he does as I say and at last put me down. He corners me in the empty elevator and gags me with his hand.

"What did you drink?" he asks me and removes his hand from my mouth.

"Stars!" I say with a giggle and he gives me a disgusted look. He takes a step back but I grab his collar and pull him towards me.

"Have you ever made out in an elevator?" I ask him pouting my lips towards him. It's been a long time since I made out with someone on an elevator. I don't remember the last time I did it, did I do it ever? Of course I did, I am a fun person, at least he should believe so. *wink* *wink*.

"Oh God," he sighs, "That's all that was left!" he rolls his eyes.

"Yes, I know!" I grin at him. I pout my lips and lean towards him but he moves side ways causing me to lose my balance and bump into the elevator's wall.

"Oww!!" I scratch my head, "Bad Nathan!" I hit him. He ducks my hit and presses the button to the parking lot. I sit down on the floor and open my shoes. Arghh!! I hate heels.

"April, get up!" Nathan looks down at me and offers me a hand.

"No!" I shake my head vigorously.

"We have reached our floor, come on get up." he offers me his hand again. The elevator's door opens and I see a crowd of people waiting to get in.

"April, come on!"

"No!" I puff my cheeks.

"Oh God, you are impossible." he says and leans down. He picks me up in bridal style and carries me out. "Sorry." he apologizes to the people waiting for us to get out.

"Put me down!!" I shake my legs, "Nathan!!" I whine.

"April, for the love of God will you shut the hell up!!" he yells at me. I get startled by his sudden yelling.

"Please calm down." he lowers his voice. I stop shaking my legs and look away from him. Bad Nathan! I'll throw him out of my will. I lean my head back to see David standing beside our car. But why is he appearing upside down?

"David why are you upside down?" I ask him as we reach the car.

"Because you are looking at me upside down Mrs Walsh." he smiles at me and I smile back. David opens the door and Nathan settles me on the seat.

"Is she okay?" David asks Nathan.

"She's drunk." he replies.

"I see." he laughs.

"Straight to the hotel, Mr Walsh?" David asks as Nathan sits beside me.

"NO!" I yell.

"Where do you want to go?" He asks me.

"EIFFELL.....TOWERRR..." I sing.

"Mr Walsh?" David looks at Nathan.

"Don't look at me, she won't shut up until we do as she says so you might as well do as she says." Nathan gives a look of resignation to which I grin.

"Aahhhhh! Thank you very much!!" I jump at him. He rolls his eyes and looks the other way. We reach Eiffel Tower half an hour later. The car ride was boring as I had to sit in one place for sooooo long. I run out of the car as soon as we reach and run straight towards the elevator ride to the top. A guard stops me from going because I don't have a ticket. He pulls me out of the queue. Then he engages himself in work again. I take the chance and crawl between the crowd.

"Ma'am, you can't go in!" he tries to stop me but he's too late I crawl between his legs and get past him.

"Security!" he shouts.

"Here! Here is her ticket!" Nathan runs towards us. He whispers something in the guard's ear which makes him give me a warm smile. I smile back at him and continue to crawl towards Eiffel Tower! Wow! So beautiful!!

"Walk!" he grabs my arm and pulls me up. I see elevatorfull f people waiting for us so take a run at it. "Wait for meeeeee!!!!" I shout and get in. The door closes before Nathan could get in. Ha! He is toooooo slow. Am I slurring? No, right?

As soon as I reach the top, cool breeze hits me and I feel divine. I could see the whole view of Paris. Wow! So beautiful!

"Woo-hoo!!" I hoot and run towards the railing, "Everything looks so small!!" I laugh. I turn and see Nathan getting off the elegator...no alligator...?...No, elevator! "Heyyyyy!! You are here!" I shout. I run towards him and hug him tightly. I feel his body stiffening as soon as I hugged him.

"Nathan," I whisper and close my eyes, relaxing myself in his arms, "I didn't mean to ruin your life." Alcohol makes you say things you don't want to say. But saying this feels good, as if aweight has been lifted off my shoulder. Now he'll understand me. I smile into his jacket as I feel him keeping his palms on my back.

"But you did it anyway." he replied, "Come on, let's go now." he makes me release himself. I suddenly feel a rush of sugar. I see two Nathan in front of me. Maybe one of them will understand me. But now I don't want him to understand me and I certainly din't want to go down.

"No!!!!" I say, "I have to do something adventurous. You said I wasn't adventurous!" I poke my finger in his chest.

"April, listen I'm very tired and in no mood to tolerate you anymore. So, come on!" he pulls me by my wrist but I grab the railing to resist him.

"Nooooooo!!"

"April Grey, that's enough!" he picks me up in his arms and forcefully make me to leave the railing.

"You are mean!" I say and look away.

"Well, you are much better when sober." he fires back. We move down and he puts me in the car. On the ride back to the hotel I look at the night life of Paris. It's a beautiful city. When we reach in our room I quickly climb on the bed.

"Good, stay right there I'll bring you something to eat." He says to me. I jump up on hearing the word food and fall from the bed.

"Hey! You okay?" he runs towards me.

"I just made out with the floor!" I exclaim and giggle.

"You are something else." He gives me a weird look and helps me get up.

After a while he brings me a tray full of food. "Eat!" he orders. I finish my food quickly and jump back on the bed.

"Okay now go to sleep." Nathan yawns.

"But I'm not sleepy at all!" I jump, "Let's go do something exciting!!" I jump up and throw the pillows at him.

"Sure, let's play a game." he climbs on to the bed.

"Yes!"

"Let's see which one of us can lay in the bed quietly for longer time." he says and buries himself in the bed.

"Nooooo!!" I whine, "That's not even a game." I grab his t shirt and try to pull him out of the bed, "Alright! I don't know about you but I'm going swimming. "I run towards my bag and try to find my bikini. No!!! I don't have a bikini!! How's that possible? But now I can do something more fun than just swimming, something which I always wanted to do. I smirk and run towards Nathan.

"Nathan!!!!!" I jump at him, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" When he doesn't respond I decide to go all by myself. The swimming pool is indoor and heated but I have to switch on the heater. Nah! It's not that cold anyway.

"Where are you going?!" Nathan calls from behind me, "April!!"

I touch the water with my toe. Damn! It's too cold. But I want to do this. I have to! I remove my shirt and pants. As I am about to unhook my bra someone jerks me around. I look up to see a person towering over me. None other than Nathan Walsh. He twists my hand and pins it to my back.

"Don't even think about it!" he says as if reading mind.

"What?" I ask innocently with a giggle.

"I know you have a nice plan of skinny dipping, but you are not going to!"

"Come with me!" I say to him trying to be seductive.

"God, not again!" he sighs and carries me on his shoulder. He practically throws me on the bed.

"Hey!" I protest but no use. He shuts me up by throwing me one of his t shirts.

"Wear it and for the love of God I beg you April, go to sleep!" he joins his hands and literally begs me. I burst into laughter and get a stern look from him in return. I wear his t shirt and get another sugar rush. Suddenly there were five Nathan spiraling in front of my eyes. I try to point at the real one but the next thing was darkness.
