Back to you Alec!

*BLARGH*

A lady was heard to be vomiting inside a bathroom.

"Hon! Are you okay?" A young man's concerned voice followed. The lady came out of the bathroom and said, "I am sorry Alec, I have messed up your bathroom."

"Don't be sorry! I will get it sorted. " Alec, a tall and sturdy young man, said confidently, without a sign of worry. His eyes were jet black and some of his hair eloquently covered his forehead. The first three buttons of his shirt were undone. A thin silver locket could be seen which was tied along his neck and hung below his collar bone.

"Yea! After all it's your fault for getting me this much drunk!" Said the lady and laughed out loud.

"Oh my! lemonades and marshmallows, how cute! " remarks the lady as she spotted a tray on the tea table. "Who served them to us?" She asked.

"Sofia?" Alec called out loud. A skinny girl with brown, short hair came out of another room. She hesitantly lifted her face which was lowered while she entered the room and looked at the two people, seated on a sofa in front of her with her ocean blue eyes.

"She served us? Aww, such a pretty girl!" The lady said.

"Yes, this is Sofia." Alec said.

" Hello Sofia, I am Racheal, Alec's girlfriend. Umm… well, we just met last night but hopefully I am right about what I just said," the lady took a look at Alec flirtatiously who smirked back at her.

Sofia lowered her face again. She was discomfited.

" So Alec, when did you bring yourself such a good maid?" The lady asked, totally oblivious of The Identity of the girl standing in front of her.

"Umm… Well!" Alec could not answer her question promptly. He looked at Sofia with a stern gaze. "Just clean the mess up inside the bathroom. " He ordered Sofia, not knowing what to do in the situation. Hearing this Sofia could not move.

" Do you want me to drop you back home?'' Alec asked the lady.

"Oh, so do you want to get rid of me?'' The lady asked him flirtatiously while crossing her legs and bending over him. Seeing this Sofia became restless and rushed towards the kitchen. She was trembling. Her eyes filled with tears were in utter belief. Her body felt so uncomfortable that she felt like puking.

"Do I have to also clean other people's vomit?" She put her hands on her forehead and started crying. Alec and the lady, continued talking, "No, I just care for you and think that you might need some rest." Said Alec.

"Oh really? The lady asked while stretching her arms to reach Alec's hair.

"Nope! It's late, come I will drop you," Alec grabbed her hand and stopped her from furthering. He stood up and signalled her to get up. The lady raised her eyebrows and smirked. Both of them left with Sofia all alone in the house. She was still crying. She went to the bedroom and opened her luggage. She pulled out an album from it. It had her photos with her father. Sofia's mother died when she was 4 yeras old. Her father was her world. There wasn't a wish that her father didn't keep for her. In return, she promised her father to get married to the man he decides good for her. Alec was her father's choice. The boy was his best friend's son.

"Little did you know Daddy! Little did you know!" Sofia muttered and started sobbing again, as she flipped over the album pages. Alec went on to a club after dropping home that lady. He ordered some tequila shots and started looking around. Men and women of similar age were all dancing to the upbeat music. Alec felt tipsy. The shots got him and he was having a hangover.

"When did you bring yourself such a good maid? haha…" He laughed sarcastically. He couldn't walk properly and slouched on a sofa.

"Hey! Hey Alec!" Someone called him. Alec could hear his name being called but he was too drunk to see or respond to anything clearly.

"Hey, it's me man! Robert. Are you with someone here?" Robert asked. Robert was his best friend or more like a brother to him since school days.

"Seems like you're pretty high huh?" Robert asked. Alec wasn't feeling well and fell unconscious soon after. Robert decided to drop him home. He dragged Alec to his car and they took off for Alec's home.

*DING DONG*

Sofia heard the sound of the door bell. Upon opening the door, she saw her husband, who was unconscious with Robert holding him from falling.

"Robert! P-Please come in!" She was startled. "What happened? Was he hurt?" Sofia asked curiously.

"No, nothing like that." Robert said. "He was just drinking too much in the club. I later spotted him and brought him back," He added.

Sofia lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Oh! He always drinks too much when things are not running well in his office," Sofia said.

"Anyways, I am so grateful to you Robert." She added.

"You know, I catch you lying everytime and still you attempt? Robert responded. "Do you think I am unaware of his flings?" He asked.

"Mind your tongue Robert, I am not willing to hear anything that dishonor my husband." Sofia resisted Robert from saying anything further about Alec.

"Then tell me! Why was he there in that club? Is that a place for a married person without his spouse along with him?" Robert asked furiously. "Listen, I am his best friend and hence I am telling you, rather pleading you, Just help him. He is definitely not okay." Robert said, this time in a gentle tone.

"He needs you and only you can make him sober."
