At The Shores of the Beach °^Love at First Sight^°

Summer Twenty Three

"Is everything okay? What's with all smiles?"

Abby just went along and smiled with them

"Nothing. Com'ere" Coby patted the seat next to him in which Abby obeyed immediately

"Hey---what's up with you?" she asked. Obvsly weirded out by her fiancee

"..."

"Um, sissy, bro, let's eat dinner! I already cooked green pasta... that's your fave. If I'm not mistaken. Right, little bro?" Ly [Lyra] said with enthusuasm

"Yep" was Coby's simple retort while fiddling with Abby's hair

"You fine with that, sissy?" Lyra asked Abby. She already calls ger sissy as she calls all her other siblings 'sissy' and 'bro'

"Yup. I'm fine with that sis" Abby answered. Yes, indeed, she was already undeniably close to Lyra. But she answers with full respect. And yes, the Belmonte brood had already met Lyra. A sister of Coby who was "long lost"

"Okay then. Let's eat! Chop chop!" Lyra clapped which sent the couple to be standing side by side, hands intertwined, while walking to the dining room

~A hearty dinner had passed~

Coby's footsteps were heavy and lazy. Sleepiness with a hint of alcohol evident in his face. He was a bit tipsy already and Abby served as his only firm structure

"Are you sure you're alright, bruh?" Grey asked his brother-in-law

"Npphh //burrpp////groan// y-yuh. Immma b-be alright, brooowwss!" he was obviously drunk and out of himself. Guess they all had the same thing in mind---he enjoyed himself too much to the point that at that time, his girlfriend (it is still considered as girlfriend since he hasn't formally proposed) was already throwing a pity party for herself

But nevertheless, once she saw Coby out of condition, she immediately hoisted herself up and took care of Coby. All of them thought that, indeed. Coby had, undeniably, the best girlfriend in the world

Once it's about Coby, Abby throws away her ego and focuses on her boyfriend

Indeed, they're like married for years now

"Coby, you're not okay. You're drunk and half awake. You're barely even yourself at the moment" Abby said, still having Coby's arm slinged over her nape

"Mrrrppp. I'm f-f-f-fine" his body started to make weird noises and his eyes were red as hell. Drunkness and fatigue evident in his face and wobbly body

"Nah, bro. Your girlfriend's right. You aren't yourself and your totally drunk" Lyra said and emphasised on the 'totally' part "I think you both should stay for the night" she continued

"Sis, are you sure it's fine. I mean, we might bother you or somethin" Abby asked Lyra and seated Coby in the couch for awhile

"Ofcourse it's fine" she said

"Are you sure, sis? Baka kasi makaabala kami sainyo" Abby was now shy. It was evident in her voice, tho

"Yes, sissy. You might get into trouble on your way back to your hotel. You stay beside Coby in the bed there sa guest room. Lay him down now. You know guys when they're drunk"

"I know... thanks a lot, sis" Abby was both embarrased and thankful at the same time

"Oh, go lay him down na. And then I'll give you some clothes of mine for you to borrow and wake Coby up first so that he could get dressed, too" Lyra was undoubtedly a loving and caring sister

"Okay. Thanks, sis"

"No prob, lil sissy"

Abby layed Coby down the bed and Lyra gave some clothes for them to borrow
