Chapter 713 You''re Wasted


    "No matter what, we met by fate tonight-so let''s have a good time!" one of them dered with a grin, their energy still buzzing.


    Before Dolores or Dustin could even protest, hands grabbed theirs and tugged them along. “There''s drinks, barbecue, and music inside! Nobody''s going home till we''ve all had our fun!"


    Dolores, ever the social butterfly, was quick to fall in step. Within minutes, she wasughing and chatting like she had known them all for years.


    Meanwhile, Dustin wasn''t so lighthearted. He sat quietly, still mulling over what Dolores had said earlier.


    She caught a glimpse of him-his expression dark, shoulders low, not even a flicker of amusement on his face.


    "Hey, are you still sulking because I went off on Collin earlier?" She tilted her head, genuinely confused.


    Dustin seemed to value his friendship with Collin. She said bad things about Collin a moment ago, and here


    Dustin was, still pulling a long face.


    Still, she didn''t regret it. Honestly, she thought she had gone too easy on Collin. Dustin finally snapped out of it and replied under his breath, "It''s not about Collin." "Oh,e on," Dolores huffed, grabbing a beer and sliding it in front of him. "Don''t mope. Drink something-


    it''ll take the edge off."


    Dustin nced at the bottle, then back at her. His face gave nothing away.


    "What are you staring at? Drink it already. But don''t forget to eat first, unless you want to puke your guts outter," she said.


    Without a word, Dustin popped the cap and tilted the bottle back, letting the beer pour straight down his


    throat.


    Dolores blinked in surprise, thenughed. "Wow. So, you do know how to drink." With a yful gleam in her eye, she pulled over more bottles. "Alright then. Let''s settle this with a drinking contest. Let''s see who taps out first!"


    Dustin didn''t say a word. Beer dripped down his chin and vanished into his cor as he reached for another


    bottle and chugged it.


    As she saw him go all in, Dolores''petitive side kicked in. She grabbed a bottle, popped it open, and


    downed it fast.


    Time flew. People gradually said their goodbyes, heading out one by one.


    Someone nced over and chuckled. "You two are still at it? Want a ride home?"

    Another added with a teasing grin, "Forget that. There''s a hotel next doo-nght as well get a room tar


    "Oh, please. They''re not even together"


    "They''re adults. It''s not that deep. If they wanna share a room, that''s their business."


    Dolores heard the voices through a fuzzy haze. Her face was flushed, her baby beary.


    "... I''m not going home tonight. I''d just be alone anyway..." she mumbled, her stomach twhating, with wee Beside her, Dustin winced at the pounding in his skull. He rubbed his forehead and groaned, "Why & you turn this into a drinking contest? We''re bothpletely wasted..."


    Dolores scoffed, "You''re wasted. I''m fine."


    She grabbed her bag and wobbled to her feet, swaying as she headed toward the door


    Before leaving, she turned to wave at the group. "Thanks for the fun! Next time, I''m buying everyze Gazet


    Dustin saw her stumble on the way out and rushed after her. He reached the door just in time-but ready tripped on the threshold himself.


    Dolores turned to re at him, unimpressed, "What, are you blind? Watch where you''re going


    "Yeah. Got it."
