It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1336

"Come on, that's not like you. You're the most driven person I know when it comes to racing. Maybe put a little of that chutzpah into going after this guy." That was Michelle to a T. Everyone was fair in the game of love. She didn't care what other women did. If she fell in love with a man, she would do whatever she could to make him her man.

"Ha ha! I tell you. I swallowed my pride and went straight for him. But he said he wouldn't even talk to me if I weren't Leena's friend. What am I supposed to do?" Patricia drained her wine glass then. The sorrow and grief she tried to push away flooded her heart again.

Hearing Patricia's heart-broken tale, Michelle was at a loss. The only thing she could do was to keep filling her wine glass. Maybe an answer would be found in the bottom of the glass, or maybe sweet oblivion. Maybe if she got drunk, things would be better.

"I have to -- have to tell you," Patricia said, her voice thick with drink. "Don't fall in love with someone if he doesn't...doesn't love you back." Patricia sat on the ground. The two young women sat there and swapped tales of their limited love experience.

"But you can make someone fall in love, right? With the right wit, charm, and looks? He must have really rattled you." Michelle laughed helplessly. A man's face and figure flashed through her head at the same time.

"Yeah, you're right. Well, never mind. Bottoms up!" Patricia picked up her glass and clinked it against Michelle's. Suddenly, she realized that Michelle and her were both drinking a lot, drowning their sorrows in wine.

"Cheers." Michelle got it. Patricia wasn't going to listen to her. So she decided to let her be and drink with her. It was better that she had a friend, than to have her drink alone. At least she could make sure Patricia got home okay.

Tom knew how to drink like a gentleman. He was cultured and able to control himself. So he didn't clam up and try to isolate himself, no matter his bad mood. Instead, he was tasting the wine, letting it settle on his palette.

Sometimes, things happened for no reason. Tom had never expected that he would see Patricia after he walked out of the box. She was drunk as a skunk. They almost ran into each other.

"Sorry!" Patricia apologized and let out a belch. She did not lift her head to look at the guy she nearly collided with, but just stumbled ahead.

"Hey, wait up!" Michelle grinned at Tom and stumbled to catch up with Patricia. They were both three sheets to the wind.

"Check that out! Those two are snockered." Rain's eyes widened like saucers. How many drinks did they have? You could smell it on them.
