Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1045

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?"

"Challenge accepted." Danny rolled his sleeves up 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 on the ground before they could even see the meteor shower.

Later that night, Raymond got some firewood and made a campfire. Everyone gathered around and chatted like a family.

Alexia was sleeping on Elise's lap, and the moon was hanging high up in the endless sky. There seemed to be a lot more stars that night, and they were all hanging in the heavens, twinkling at the land. When it turned to midnight, even more stars showed up, forming a river of constellations.

At 12.30AM, the first comet showed up in the southwest. It arced through the sky, leaving nothing but a trail of light.

"Alexia," Elise woke the girl up. "The meteor shower has begun. Wake up, or you'll miss it."

Narissa and Ariel roused the gentlemen as well, and the couples stood before the guardrail, wishing upon the stars.

Alexia sat up and rubbed her eyes. When her vision finally focused, she was met with a beautiful meteor shower. Comets flew through the sky like raindrops. "My gosh, it's a meteor shower!" She ran and hopped around like a rabbit in excitement.

"Aren't you going to make a wish?"

"I will!" Oops, I almost forgot. The little girl closed her eyes and made a wish to the gods.

Elise smiled and made a video call to Alexander. She pointed the screen at the sky, hoping he could see the meteor shower when he took the call. A moment later, the call went through. Just as she was about to tell Alexander to make a wish, she realized the screen on her phone was also showing the night sky. Though from the size of the moon, she knew Alexander was standing someplace higher than she was.
