Jamie felt like crying. "It was just a joke."
"And that's why you should never mess with a woman." Danny laughed and placed the water on the table.
Ariel cocked her eyebrow at his remark. "So, you think women are scary, huh?"
Danny bowed. "No, no. Women are gentle and understanding. But of course, they can also be tough and admirable. You, my dear, are both tough and gentle. The best qualities lie in you, Ariel. I respect you. You're not scary at all."
The woman smiled at his response. That's a passable answer, I guess.
"You bootlicker." Feeling betrayed by his friend, Jamie turned to Elise for solace. "They're all ditching me, Boss. So, want to have a drink?"
"No. Mommy cannot drink," Alexia refused right away.
"Lexi, you're my goddaughter. Can't you at least go easy on me?" Jamie pouted to earn the little girl's pity.
"Hmph." Though, Alexia didn't pity him in the slightest. She was still mad.
Danny opened a bottle of whiskey and said, "She's pregnant. Can't drink even if she wants to. I'll drink with you."
"I know that. I was just joshing." Jamie then snatched the whiskey away. "And you're an amateur. I'll whip up some good stuff. Don't even dream about going home without getting totally wasted, you hear?"
and opened a few more bottles of alcohol. He mixed them all together and tried to knock Jamie out. Eventually, the men could barely stand up straight from all the drinking. They fell asleep
