Right at that moment, in Rocky's eyes, Isis was as beautiful as a fairy that shone brightly like a diamond.
As for Isis, it was her first time to see Rocky in such a close distance that she could clearly see his face. In fact, she had already seen him close, but it was only one time when she lost her consciousness and passed out. Now, she was completely aware of Rocky's undeniable charm that came from his impeccable eyes. Right at that moment, Isis saw the numerous secrets that were hidden behind his eyes and she ultimately desired to explore more.
The candlelight flickered and the couple gazed at each other silently, as if they wanted to say something but were too shy to express anything at that moment. Hence, the atmosphere became too awkward for them.
All of a sudden, Isis looked the other way and placed her hand on her chest. She felt that her heart was beating too fast as if it wanted to jump right out of her body.
"Hey, are you okay?" Rocky asked worriedly as he noticed how Isis was acting strangely.
"Nothing." Isis shook her head. She tried to calm down by taking a deep breath, but to no avail.
"Are you drunk?" Rocky wondered and asked as he noticed that Isis' face was turning red, like a blushing rose.
"I'm not! I'm sober! You are the one who's drunk!" Pretending to be calm, Isis could not handle the tension as she was getting more and more uncomfortable and uneasy. Right at that moment, her eyes fell on the bottle of wine on the table. Gritting her teeth, she wanted to overcome her discomfort so she hurriedly went to the table and poured herself a glass of wine. She then emptied the glass as an attempt to boost her courage.
However, she did not feel anything special upon finishing her drink. Therefore, she poured herself some more and drank it all up again.
"Hey, I don't think that you should be drinking so much. Otherwise, you'll get drunk." Not knowing if Isis was good at drinking alcoholic beverages or not, he tried to warn her. After all, regardless if she was a good drinker, anyone would surely get drunk if they drank too quickly, just like how she was doing at that moment.
"I don't care. It's none of your business!" Isis responded immediately, pouting her lips. The once sober Isis was now starting to get a little bit tipsy, and was now unconsciously showing her cute and attractive side that had never been seen by anyone.
"But don't you think drinking alone is quite boring? How about we drink together?" Rocky proposed, smiling, as he was a cat who got the cream.
"But I'm warning you, Rocky. No funny business and never make alcohol as an excuse in doing dumb things. Remember that you are no match for me. If you dare try and do something improper, I will not hesitate to kill you tonight." The boring Isis was now being a tad bit more interesting after drinking that she was able to show humor in the smallest of things. Of course her words could never frighten Rocky, but her charm was attracting Rocky all at the same time.
"Oh, come on. We just got married! Have you already planned to murder your husband? Don't worry. I will not do anything improper even you force me to do it. Besides, I don't take advantage of anyone," Rocky said frankly.
