Chapter 16 A Pint of Liquor for every Drop of Sorrow
Sabrina Luthferd
Thornless Rose. A place where men and women go to forget their sorrows. A place where you can forget about your problems. A place where you can drown all of the negative feelings pent up inside of your soul. All you need is liquor and a nice old buddy to accompany you.
But my sorrow is too humongous. A glass of wine can only satisfy a drop of it.
Before I knew it, I have intoxicated myself in liquor and yet my sorrows remained sane enough to make me insane.
"Ya know.. I was wondering." I said. "What if I am not Juliana Phantomhive? What if my name is... Julienne Lou Freebush!"
I snorted. "You see, I keep having dreams about people calling me Julienne. What is their problem!?? My name is.." I took out a glass and held it up. "Your Mother's Butthole!"
I laughed loudly, drinking from the glass and slamming it down on the counter.
Then there is this problem about Brother. " Oh no, my dear dear Brother."
"...It hurts." I started.
"What does, Sabrina?" Allan asked.
I sat up and took his hand, firmly putting it in my chest.
"THIS. THIS PLACE ALLAN." I shouted with a grin, closing my eyes.
"Errr..."
"Young mistress. Please do not let the gentleman touch such an intimate area." Sebastian lightly scolded, taking off Allan's hand away from mine.
"Nevertheless, you already had no less than 20 glasses, Young Mistress. I think it is time to leave."
"Come on, Sebby. It is still too early."
"Actually, it is past 9 p.m already."
I stopped. Whoops. Seems like I enjoyed it too much.
"But.. Time is just a figure, my dear Sebby." I patted his cheeks. "What matters most is how you spend it."
"..And you are indeed wasting it by getting yourself drunk."
I chuckled. "You are soooo humorous, Sebby. I am not wasting my time. I am indulging."
"Young Mistress, Young Master is waiting for you to return now."
I tilted my head. "I am in my legal age already. Let him be. He is busy peppering kisses in Lady Ezilabeth's exposed ne-hic. Hic."
"Yes. The famous Sabrina is indeed drunk. Go home." Allan said.
Is he driving me away? I let a frown cover my features.
"Did I offend you?" I asked.
"No. But you are drunk and you can get scary when you are in the stage of very drunk which will most likely occur after another glass." Allan answered.
I downed another glass as he said those words making me release an "Oops."
Allan planted a hand on his face. "Please take her home already, Sir Sebastian."
"I am still awake which means that I am still good enough to drink!" I reasoned out.
"Sabrina! Get your wits right or else I will tell Master."
Ooooh. I completely forgot about Master.
"Where is Master? I miss him sooo much~"
"He is busy with the financial assessment of the pub. I beg you, Sabrina. Please rest." He pleaded. "I cannot handle other customers that well if you continue throwing slurred words."
I grumbled. "Fine... If!" I glanced at the cherry in my drink. "..You get me a glass full of cherries which I can indulge."
Allan watched me warily. I held my arms up in surrender.
"...Okay." He took out a glass and filled them out with the bright red fruit.
He then served it on the counter, making me grin in delight. I instantly got one and took in my mouth.
The sweet taste enters my mouth, the contrary of the bitter drink I had been having.
"I will be taking care of the other guests now. Do not start a ruckus, Sabrina."
"Yes, yes." I dismissed with a wave in every 'yes'.
"Sebastian?"
"..Yes, Young Mistress?"
"Did you know... That cherry is the symbol of sexual intercourse?" I asked, trailing a cherry across my lips. "Ah, the sinful color of red it promotes." I chuckled. "Ahhh."
Sebastian opened his mouth and I took the opportunity to plunge the cherry in his mouth.
I chuckled before hopelessly putting my weight on the counter.
"Say, Sebastian." I started. "Am I that unattractive?"
I can totally see the point.
"I am a street rat, I know. But I firmly believe that I am more attractive than a street rat." I took another cherry and enjoyed its taste. "But I cannot be more attractive than Lizzy, Lizzy, Lizzy.
"You are indeed beautiful. You somehow remind me of a red rose."
I snorted. "A decaying red rose."
I fell in love with my Brother and now, feast upon the results. I looked like a broke old man trying to resurrect myself with martini topped with a cherry.
I ate my cherries until I am left with a single one. Holding its stem by my mouth, I stood up.
"Let us leave, Sebastian." I stood up, feeling my surroundings swaying and turning clockwise and counterclockwise.
I staggered, trying to remain upright. Sebastian sighed, taking out a bag of coins and setting it down the counter.
"Farewell, Allan!!!~" I cried out with the cherry still in my mouth's mercy.
"Take care, Sabrina."
I simply nodded my head as Sebastian lifted me in his arms and carried my entire being to the carriage.
"This love is so unconventional, so sweet!~" I sang. "If you fall and drown in pleasure..." I patted Sebastian's cheek. "Well, that is just bound to happen, isn't it?" I asked cheekily.
"A woman that does not cry is not a good girl." I breathed as we enter the carriage and Sebastian set me down. "But crying does not make you a good girl."
"I will just take a bite of this captured cherry last~" I finished, munching on my last piece. "Mhmm~"
The carriage started to move and it is going in a steady phase- a phase that will not make me more dizzy as I was already.
I laid back on the carriage, humming random tunes.
"Sebastian~~" I called out. "Brother will probably scold me.~"
I envisioned his angry expression that can make monsters cower in fear. I cannot help but release a laugh.
"He is.. Just.. So cute." I mumbled before letting my drowsiness took control of me.
++++
"Young Mistress. Young Mistress. We have arrived."
"Shut up.." I mumbled, keeping my eyes closed.
"I will carry her, Sebastian." An oh so familiar voice said. "Get a glass of water."
"Yes, Young Master."
I felt my body being lifted by strong arms. It was warm.. I cannot help but move closer to it. I can feel his heartbeat. It sounds so.. Calming.
I was settled down to a warm, soft surface... But that thing's warmth is what I seek.
......
+++++
I opened my eyes.. Everything feels so distant and blurry.. But I can see him.. Brother. Ciel Phantomhive. He was stroking my head softly.
"Juliana?" He called out.
"Ciel." I answered, sitting up.
It feels so heavy and yet I yearned to be closer to him.
Yes, this is a dream and I shall indulge myself with it.
"I.. Have something to tell you." I started, grasping both his hands. "I have failed as a younger sister."
"..What do you mean, Julia-"
"Please call me Sabrina... Just for this dream, call me Sabrina."
"Sabrina."
"I... Am.. In love with you, Ciel Phantomhive.. No matter how ridiculous it would sound, I have fallen for you." I confessed, tears streaming down my eyes.
It hurts. It hurts that I can only convey my feelings in a dream. And yet.. His warmth felt so real.
He cupped my cheeks with his hands, removing it from my grasp.
"Will you.. Will you indulge my selfish request?" I asked. "Will you please kiss me?"
He tucked a lose strand of hair behind my ear. "Listen to me.. Sabrina. I am afraid to tell you that you have bewitched me with your entire being. I have to admit that I have sinned as your Brother.. I love you."
His face grew closer. I cannot be more happy than I am right now.
Our lips touched.. His lips are warm and soft. They are so sweet that they put the most expensive chocolate to shame. He pulled me closer, holding my being by the waist as I held out my hand and played with his soft, Raven hair.
It was so intoxicating. More intoxicating than my liquor. It filled up my sorrow in a swift second. But just like liquor, its effect will also fade.
Our lips parted and I cannot help but stare at his blue orbs in awe.
"I am more selfish than you, Sabrina. I would like to take you away from here, a place where it is only you and I. A place that can put heaven or hell to shame. Just like how your beauty puts the angels and succubus to their shame... I am deeply in love with you."
"...I...love you." I proclaimed once again before my vision started to dim.
Goodbye to this wonderful dream.
