The Devil's Sweetheart

Pouting her lips when she didn't receive any answer, Leena went into her room and watched some cartoons and soon dozed off in the middle. For the whole afternoon, she did nothing except sleep like a Koala. After a long stretch, she got up in the evening and went into his room to try her luck of getting an answer to her question but Devin was not yet back.

Bored, she walked out of her room and knocked on the adjacent room again. Immediately it was opened and then entered a man into her eyes looking like an exorcist who was beaten to death by a ghost.

"W_hat's wrong with your face," Leena asked taking his disheveled look.

"Salsa told about 'The Spirit Game' movie story. I am scared of it and it's getting night already." Drew broke into pits of cry the moment he saw Leena. He was glad that he could share his fears with someone here.

"Even that shameless idiot told that a ghost was wandering in my room. I think it's not a coincidence. We might be a target also." Leena suddenly remembered the spirit movie she has seen where a ghost was crawling in the ceiling like a lizard.

"You are right. We may be a target. That's why I brought wine to forget our worries. When our mind is strong, they cannot enter into our bodies. Let's drink and forget them."

"I can't. My alcohol tolerance is very low." Leena denied immediately recalling the nonsense she vomited in uncle Pumpkin's home. There was no him at that time, but now that he is here she didn't want to take any risk.

"You know what? Even I tend to pass out with just one glass. But aren't you scared of those ghosts? We can only forget them if we drink." Drew asked to try his luck again when he did not want to drink alone. It's a win-win situation for them.

"You are right. Let's go."

Just one glass! I will have it and straight away go into my bed without talking with anyone.

With that, both went into the kitchen and collected all the food ingredients for munching and came back to the room again. Starting with one glass, they went for second, third, and kept on drinking until they emptied the whole bottle. In no time, both slumped on the floor rolling and giggling like chimpanzees.

"Andreww Dawsonnnnn! Do you know who is the most famous ghost detective?" Leena giggled looking at the ceiling to find any ghost. She wanted to kill those scary boneless creatures with her bare hands instantly.

"Is there a ghost detective?" Drew asked in a drowsy voice shaking his head. He was already high on energy with the amount he has consumed.

"Yes! It's SHERLOCK MOANS!" Giggling, Leena got up and started kicking Drew's legs continuously.

"Hey! Leave my poor legs. Why are you smashing them." He cried feeling a surge of intense pain in his legs with the way she was smashing them.

"Because you are my newfound brother and your legs are as big as my dreams." Dipping a finger into the hummus container, Leena licked it and moaned.

"It tastes divine."

"I want to go home." Leena sobbed suddenly remembering her Francis and when she saw Drew intensely searching for something, she abandoned her hummus and went along with him.

"What are you searching, my sweet brother," The wine has left her groggy already.

"Car Keys, sweet sister."

"Your sister will help you." As a baby, she started crawling to searching for it, and finally, her mission was accomplished.

"I found it!" Leena shouted showing a screwdriver. "Come and sit behind my back. I will take you home."

"You are the best, sister."

After Drew got settled behind her back, Leena put on the screwdriver keys into their imaginary car making a sound to get the effect.

TCH! TCH!

"What is that sound?" Drew asked.

"You don't even know this! I am turning the car key."

Drew nodded his head. Yes! Yes! How can a car start without the TCH sound?

VROOOOOOOMMMMMM...VROOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM...VROOOOOMMMMMMMM.....

"What is this sound you are making now?" Drew asked again.

"Vroom sound! The car is walking now. Sit tight. I am going to drive at the fastest speed now."

BRUMMMMMMMMMMMM.....BRUMMMMMMMMMMM...

Visualizing the imaginary car, Leena started to turn the steering as if she is a race driver while Drew was continuously complaining to slow down and she shamelessly awarded that she is the best racer in the world.

"We are at home now." Getting down from the imaginary car, both slumped on the floor again as if they have made a tour of the whole city.

Soon after some time, Leena was listless again. Her euphoria was at peeks.

"Shall we make a prank call, brother?"

"To whom?" Drew asked, his eyes almost on the verge of shutting down due to the exhaustion.

"We will call pizza hut and ask for Mc Donald's number." Leena giggled exciting to try on the prank.

"No, call Pizza butt and ask for Pizza Hutt's number" Drew denied instantly.

Both argued and finally arrived at a conclusion and entered a random number on Drew's mobile and waited for a while for the call to get connected.

"Shhh...It's ringing." Leena hushed when Drew was cackling even before the other person has lifted the call.

"It's connected. Don't make any noise." Leena whispered putting the mobile away from her ear to silence him.

"Hello!" A man's gruff voice was heard.

"Hello, is it Bubba Bones? It's me Ghanana Gaud." Clearing her throat Leena started changing her voice a little.

"Sorry miss. you have got the wrong number."

Both giggled when they got an answer from the other end.

"Now I will speak! I will speak!" Drew begged for the mobile from her hands as if he found candy.

"Hello, Bubba Jones. It's not Ghanana Gaud. It's me, Bluebell Madonna." Drew changed his voice slightly to not get caught if the other person complains.

"I don't know any bluebell, Madonna." The phone was instantly cut off.

When Leena heard the name was wrongly pronounced by Drew, she hit him again.

"Hey! It's Bubba Bones, not Bubba jones. Now he will surely find that we are lying to him. Let me handle it." Snatching the mobile from him, Leena called again the number and before she could speak up, she heard a loud voice from the other end.

"I don't know any Bubba bones or Ghanana Gaud or Bluebell Madonna! If you don't stop it now, I will complain to the police." The man barked from the other end.

"Sorry, sir. My brother is a little drunk. I am the Bubba bones, your mobile operator. I wanted to inquire if you shower along with my donkey every day which I have gifted you."

"Get your nutty brain tested along with your brother." The man barked and hung up the call instantly. But the drowsy idiots still thought that man is on the call.

"Oh! It's not Bubba's bones. Then I must have wing the wong number."

"He is not our Bubba, brother. We have wasted our time."

After she was done with the call, Leena suddenly remembered Devin has not yet arrived. He must be waiting for my car. She got up and began to drunk a walk to search for the imaginary car. The moment she was about to start the car, the door unfastened.

When she looked up, her eyes twinkled seeing him in person.

"My Corazon. you have arrived?" Leena ran as fast as she could and jumped on him wrapping her legs around his torso. If not for Devin's fast reflexes to brace the impact, both would have ended on the floor.

"Corazon? It means heart right? She has come up with another name?"

"How much did you drink?" Devin asked wrapping his arms around her lower back to pull her up. When he arrived back, he didn't find her in the room, and when he was searching for her in the garden, Leah informed, both Andrew and Leena has taken food items to their rooms in the evening. Only when he came back to Drew's room, Devin was shocked to see them dead drunk.

"Will you send me to prison if I tell?" Leena asked innocently clinging on to him like a Koala.

"No sweetheart." Saying that he walked into their room carrying her in his arms leaving another drunk yard alone. Drew has already passed out due to exhaustion after the prank call.

"Then it's one liter of bananas, not much I have drunk.. It's all because of that Mowgli."
