The Brother Who Hates Me

Chad picked up the girls at the apartment at around 7:00 in the evening.

They tried one of the most popular restobar in the area. The place had innovative dining menu, noted for its fine seafood creations.

Chad searched for this place knowing how Raven was a seafood lover.

The tropical decor can't help but put you at ease. The girls started to order.

"Wow lobster bisque, crab cakes and sea bass with meuniere sauce. Let's try this." Raven was so excited seeing the menu.

The three had an evening drink afterwards. The live band and great jazz added to the sophisticated vibe of the place.

Behind the bar, a neon purple light forces drinkers into an existential exploration: "Have you figured out what you want yet?"

The question could send some into crisis.

Sheena jokingly looked at Chad beside her and said, "I just figured out what I wanted just now, can you guess?"

Chad raised an eyebrow and answered, "Hard drinks to knocked you down?"

Sheena shook her head then looked straight at Chad's eyes, "YOU!"

Chad caught off guard blew out the beer he's currently drinking from his mouth.

Sheena was enjoying how Chad reacted and laughed so hard. Then she commented, "that was so grossed man!'

Raven who was just observing how Sheena was teasing Chad got a napkin from her purse to pass at Chad who was so embarrassed to even look at her.

"Sheena stop that, why are you always picking up on Chad." Raven scolded her friend grinning while she drank her cocktail.

Sheena just shrugged her shoulder, "Chad loved my teasing, don't you Chad? What's wrong with wanting you?"

Raven shook her head, well there's nothing new. Sheena has been like that to Chad ever since and the latter seemed not bothered by that at all.

Her mobile phone suddenly rang and it was Jordan.

"Where are you?" Jordan asked.

"I'm at a restobar with Sheena and Chad. Why?" Raven was surprised receiving the sudden call.

"Message me the address of the bar and the code of your apartment." Jordan said before cutting the line off.

Sheena noticed the creasing of Ravens forehead as she was typing on her mobile phone.

"Why what's wrong who was that?" Sheena asked.

Raven answered still typing, "It's Jordan and he was asking the address of this bar and my apartment code."

Sheena already informed Jordan earlier that they will go out tonight for dinner and a drink.

'Why would he ask Raven the address? Don't tell me he flew all the way here just to check on Raven?' Sheena thought before she shifted her gaze to Chad.

'What an unlucky boy. Don't worry, I'll keep you company.' Then like a crazy person she laughed at her own thought.

Sheena heard Chad murmured, "Crazy!"

Meanwhile, Raven called Lou and she had confirmed that Jordan was here for a business trip.

He will also sleep at her apartment for tonight.

She can't believe it and ask the bartender for more cocktail drinks in a row.

"Hey, you should stop Raven. I think she had too many already. You know how she snaps out when drunk." Chad reminded Sheena seeing Raven ordered for more cocktails.

Sheena agreed and turned her head to the Bartender, "That's enough. Don't give her anymore."

Hearing that, Raven looked at Sheena with puppy eyes and said, "Why would Jordan stay at the apartment. Can't he just stay at any luxury hotel instead?"

"Why? What's wrong if he sleep over? His you big brother besides it's just probably a night right?" Sheena explained.

Chad was just listening at the two girls. Obviously, Raven by now was too drunk and won't even remember anything tomorrow.

--

Jordan and Lou arrived at the apartment at about 10:00 in the evening and Raven was still not in the house. He knew that they went out but had expected they should have returned already by this time.

After the call, Jordan opened Raven's apartment and Lou put his luggage on the spare room.

"Just leave it all there. Let's go to this address." He said giving his mobile phone to Lou.

The bar was just a fifteen minutes ride from Raven's apartment.

When they arrived Raven was already drunk while Sheena and Chad were stopping her to grab more drinks because she was even stealing Chad and Sheena's bottle now.

He immediately instructed to escort Chad outside for a cab.

"I'll handle her, you go out first." Jordan said as he looked at Sheena who just nodded at him before heading out.

Jordan looked at Raven, who would tell that the girl was just seventeen on her appearance. She was wearing a simple, fitting red off neck blouse and skirt which showed her curvy body for her age.

"Hey you Mr. Bartender you have a colorful question there behind your back," Raven read out loud the question.

"-- Have you figured out what you want yet? -- YES I DO, and I want more drink, give me more will you?"

Raven continued to plead, while the bartender looked at Jordan.

Raven followed the Bartender's gaze and looked also intently at Jordan.

"Ow he's my Big Brother? Oops I forgot you don't want to be called like that. Hmmm. How about you Mr. Jordan Choi? Have you figured out what you want yet? You should try this cocktail. It's really good!"

Raven was almost stammering while she talked.

"Let's go home, you're too drunk." Jordan just shook his head and help Raven to get up.

"You haven't answered me yet. Have you figured out what you want yet? You should answer their magic question." Raven insisted.

Jordan moved closer as he helped her to walk steadily before whispering on her ear, "Yeah, figured it out a long time ago. I WANT YOU."

Raven looked at him and commented, "Stop it! That tickles!"

She unknowingly rubbed her ear irritably.

Jordan smirked and continued to help her to get out of the bar.

Sheena and Lou were already outside waiting for them.
