Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

''Where did you have your last kiss and with whom?'' Alice asked Xia and she flushed. Everyone turned to look at her.

''I will drink to that'' Xia said and picked her glass of wine. Before it could get to her mouth, someone snatched it and drunk.

''I will drink this for you'' Connor said and Xia's face turned red.

''Why would you drink my wine? Don't you have to drive?''

''Josh will just give me a ride. You always had a bad hangover anytime you drunk too much'' Connor replied. The others looked at them with meaningful gazes.

''You seem to know a lot of things about our Xia. How was she like at school?'' Alice asked curiously.

''Xia was… she was a bundle of joy''

''That's enough. Let's go back to the game''

Natalie yawned and leaned against Mikael. She looked sleepy and tired.

''Want to sleep?'' Mikael asked her and she nodded her head. ''Let's go then''

''What about Alice, she seems pretty drunk'' Natalie looked at Alice with a worried gaze.

''What is there to be worried about? Josh will take care of her'' Mikael pulled her up and said to the rest, ''I am taking Natalie home to rest. She has work tomorrow''

''Elder sister, why are you leaving me?'' Alice held Natalie's legs as she cried.

''She is really drunk'' Natalie shook her head, ''Josh, can you handle her? She has really weird behaviour when she gets drunk''

''Don't worry, I will take care of her''

''Xia, let's go too. I don't think Josh will be able to leave Alice. I will call a cab for us''

''Why don't you join us? It is on the way. I can drop you off before going'' Mikael suggested.

''That will be better. Xia looks pretty out of it too'' Natalie held Xia to steady her.

''That's okay by me. Let them give us a ride, Connor'' Xia said and picked her bag.

''Alright, I will see you off before clearing this place'' Josh walked with them to the door and waited till they all left before he locked the door and returned to the hall. He chuckled when he saw Alice sprawled on the sofa sleeping.

….

Josh finished clearing the place and returned to the hall. He looked at Alice and squatted to her level.

''Alice, wake up. You need to go and sleep in your room'' Josh said and Alice turned her face to his side. She looked at him and smiled.

''It's JSC'' she touched his face and murmured, ''it's beautiful''

''What is beautiful?''

''You. You are beautiful…'' she suddenly frowned and slapped him. She took Josh by surprised and he touched his cheek.

''Why did you slap me?''

''Bad man. You keep making my heart beat. Tsk, don't smile like that in front of other women. Don't you know that when men like you smile, it is a sin?'' she asked and sat up.

''You are really drunk. Seeing that you are treating me with no reservations'' Josh said and was about to stand up when she pulled him closer making him fall on her. They both landed on the sofa with him on top of her.

Alice blushed and pouted her lips. Josh fluttered and tried to stand up but she pulled him back and wrapped her arms around him and asked, ''why are you angry with me?''

''Alice, I know you are drunk and probably won't remember this tomorrow but you shouldn't test me like this'' Josh said to her.

''Am I testing you?'' Alice asked and chuckled. She pushed him aside and stood up. ''Why are you so nice to me?''

''Don't you know the answer already?'' Josh sat up.

''I know but, why? What do you like about me?''

''Everything. I like everything about you''

''You don't even know anything about me? You don't know that I am not a good person at all. If you find out my secret, you will not like me anymore'' she said and took off her the jacket. She turned towards her room and started walking.

''Where are you going?'' Josh stood up and followed her.

''I'm going to take a shower. Why are you following me? Are you going to bath with me?'' Alice turned and asked him.

''No, I am just worried that you will hurt yourself if I leave you alone''

''Come with me'' Alice held his hand and Josh followed her into her bedroom. She pointed at the bed saying, ''sit down. I will bring you something to change into''

Josh looked at her and laughed. 'You still manage to remain sane even when you are drunk. Alice, you are really amazing''

''Sit down'' she pushed him on the bed and staggered into her closet. Josh waited for her and she returned with a pair of oversized pyjamas. She handed them over to him. ''Take this and wear''

''These are…?''

''Those are the only ones I have. You are the first man to sleep over at my house. These are for all sexes'' she said and went into the bathroom.

Josh flushed when he suddenly heard the sound of the shower running. He chuckled and murmured, ''this woman has no fear at all. Is she acting this way because she trusts me so much or because she thinks I can't do anything to her?''

Josh shook his head and was about to leave when he heard chaos inside the washroom. Alice screamed out in pain.

''Alice?'' Josh heard the scream and rushed into the washroom. He saw Alice still fully clothes. She was on the floor crying.

''Alice, what's wrong?'' Josh went closer.

''I think I twisted my leg. It's painful, Josh'' she said as she looked at her leg.

''How did this happen?'' Josh squatted to look at her leg.

''I just wanted to bring you shampoo but I mistakenly hit the shower knob and the water made me slip''

''You were… I'm sorry. Let me get you out of here before'' Josh lifted her up, carrying her to the bedroom. ''I should call the doctor to come and check you''

''Oh, but it's late. Won't that be an inconvenience?''

''You are awfully nice but this is not the time to think about what the doctor would feel. I will get you something to change into''

Alice looked at him and suddenly asked, ''but, what are you doing here? I thought everyone left already?''

''You are already sober?'' Josh chuckled.

''I guess the pain woke me up fast'' Alice said and flushed when she looked at herself. Her top was now stuck to her skin and the shape of her bra could be seen clearly.

''I will call the doctor; you should change into this first'' Josh gave her the pair of loungewear she gave to him earlier on.

Alice looked at him and smiled after he left the room. She took the loungewear to change into.

Josh finished making the call and walked back to the door. Je knocked before asking, ''are you alright?''

''Yes, come in'' Alice said and the door opened. She pointed at her foot saying, ''can you help me pull this up? My leg hurts when I try to do it myself''

''Sure'' Josh went closer and helped her pull her foot inside the trousers.

''What did the doctor say?''

''He is coming. he will be here soon. Are you feeling a lot of pain?''

''Not really, I am afraid it will worsen by tomorrow if I don't get it treated. I have to practise my script tomorrow''

''A script?'' Josh's mind went to what Mikael told him. he looked at her and asked, 'I heard that there are going to be a lot of intimate scenes in it, is that true?''

''Mikael and his slippery mouth. He was the one who told you, right?''

''You don't have to mind me. I was just asking'' Josh said.

''It has a lot of intimate scenes but at the end of the day it is nothing more than acting. I am not even with the male lead. Right, I didn't tell you something that happened to me today when I went to the company this morning''

Josh sat across her and watched her as she spoke. ''What happened?'' he asked her.

'I made up with Zeya. Turns out she hated me because she thought I didn't like her. That lady is adorably cute''

''So, you don't have a problem with her anymore?''

''Mm, I don't have any problem with her anymore'' Alice said and they heard the doorbell ringing.

''That must be the doctor. I will go and bring him in'' Josh stood up and went out of the room.

Alice laid back and waited for them. A moment later, Josh returned with the doctor. He was a middle aged man with a pair of rigged glasses between his nose.

''I'm sorry that you had to come this late'' Alice said to the doctor.

''No worries. Josh is like a son to me. Of course, I should treat his girlfriend with the same love'' the doctor said and Alice flushed. She looked at Josh who didn't bother to explain.
