Going to Renee's party was not something I planned to do tonight. Especially on a work night. But Julian somehow managed to convince me.

I swear he's the most manipulative person I know.

The party was a dud. I was about ready to go home before Salma came over rushing to find me.

"Leilani's here and she's completely wasted," she says. "She's not even talking proper English."

"Well, she speaks two languages," I say, immediately getting up from my seat.

"Sé cómo suena el hawaiano, el asno," she grits.
|Spanish- I know what Hawaiian sounds like, jackass.|

Salma leads me to the bar in the entertainment room where I see Leilani struggling to get out of her seat.

I rush over to her and catch her in time before she falls to the ground. She passes out in my arms.

"Can you find Aolani, so I can get their address?" I ask.

"Aolani left with Nathan a while back. That's why I came over to Leilani," Salma says.

I sigh and roll my eyes. "I'll take her to my house."

"Do you need help?" Salma asks.

"No, I'll be okay. I'll take her to my penthouse."

"Adios, hermano," Salma says.
|Spanish- Bye, brother.|

I kiss her cheek. "Cuídate, hermanita."
|Spanish- Take care, little sister.|

I hold Leilani in my arms bridely style and find the nearest exit.

I lay her down in the backseat and strap her in with a seatbelt. She's out cold on the ride home, but when I pull into the gates of my home she wakes up.

"Am I getting kidnapped?" she groans.

"If you were getting kidnapped, alerting the kidnapper that you were awake is the worst thing ever to do," I say, and she smiles softly.

"So, that's why the ground smelt and felt so good. I landed on your muscles," she says trailing her fingers up my arm. I feel my neck heating up at her touch

"How do you feel?" I ask, swiftly changing the topic.

"Drunk," she says, and the torment of her fingers doesn't stop.

I park the car and shut it off. "Then we should get you to bed."

I open the car door and get out. I go to open her, and she stands up in front of me. "But I'm not tired." She throws her arms around my neck and rests her face on my chest. "And my heels are killing me."
