CHAPTER FIVE

It's been over a week since Tristan arrived at the human world and things have not been as he expected it to be.

He didn't expect to find the one who would break his curse easily but adjusting to the lives of the humans has not been the best.

Everyday he woke up having it at the back of his mind that he had to go to work and that wasn't the problem but having the handle the company was.

The moon goddess had only shown him the life of Tristan Stone but not how to live the life of Tristan Stone.

For the first two days, he had difficulty handling the computer and going through the files always at his table every morning.

He had to ask the moon goddess for guidance and she had told him she had no idea of how the humans worked. She however told him to watch videos that could help him and in no time he was handling things even though he wasn't fast with it.

Tristan groaned as he got up from the bed. He drank so much that he passed out too. He was against the idea of drinking because Simon did not let him.

He was afraid that Simon might get suspicious of him as he had refused to eat beans after tasting it. He later found out beans was Tristan Stone's favourite food and had to eat it even though he didn't like the taste of it in his mouth.

Two nights ago, Simon had dragged him to a bar and offered him drinks. He almost vomited after a shot of tequila. He felt his head swell the moment he swallowed the shot of tequila.

It was really bitter and his stomach began to rumble. He wanted to vomit but he couldn't as he remembered that tequila was Tristan Stone's favourite.

He got angry at some point. He was not happy that Tristan Stone had to like things that didn't suit well and now he had to endure it so as not to blow his cover as he had a mission to fulfill.

Just as Tristan thought he was going to have Sunday to himself, Simon dragged him out again. For the first time in Tristan's life, he was surrounded by people who were in their own world.

Everytime Tristan walked and people stopped to smile and greet him, he felt a foreign feeling everytime.

He wasn't used to this and for some reason he was glad that he wasn't treated the same way he was treated back in his world.

Tristan placed his hand on his head as he tried to get himself. The alcohol from last night was still affecting him.

Tristan got up from his bed and ran to the toilet to throw up. Memories of what happened last night resurfaced in his head and he promised to never drink again.

"Why do I have to come here?" Tristan asked Simon as they made their way to the VIP section.

"You have to be here because it's our thing. Saturday and Sunday are the only days we don't have to work or think about work. It's our resting day and day to have fun," Simon reminded him.

A glimpse of Tristan Stone memory resurfaced in Tristan's head and he sighed. He had forgotten the tradition between Simon and Tristan Stone.

"Hey beautiful ladies," Simon smacked his lips as he saw the two ladies who were seated waiting for them.

"Took you quite a long time to get here," Amaya, the girl with pink hair said to the men.

Simon walked closer to her as she stood up on her feet and he hugged her. "I had to get Tristan, you know how he is," Simon said to her as he grabbed her ass.

She giggled at him while batting her fake eyelashes.

The other girl with Amaya adjusted so that Tristan could sit down beside her. Tristan raked his hair with his finger as he walked closer to her. As much as he appreciated the new life he got here where he didn't feel unloved and unwelcomed, the life of Tristan Stone wasn't something that suited him.

He sat down beside Effie and before he knew it, she sat on him so that she was stranding him.

Tristan was taken aback by Effie's action as no one has ever been this close to him. The human world was quite different from the world he came from.

The way and manner they live in the human world was quite different from the way they lived in his world.

The human world was more different from his world and as much as it fascinated him, there were things that just didn't sit well with him.

Effie began to grind on him but he immediately put his hand on her waist to stop her from moving. "I will be back," he said to her.

She got up from him with a frown on her face as she knew that he wasn't feeling her. The moment Tristan left, Effie spoke ,"What's wrong with him?" She asked.

Simon pulled back from kissing Amaya to answer Effie. "Just ignore him. He will catch up soon," he replied before kissing Amaya back.

Once Tristan finished easing himself, he came out of the restroom. While he was walking, he began to feel dizzy. He hasn't drank anything yet he felt dizzy and so he stopped walking to take a break. From where he stood, he saw someone and in a blink of her eye, the person was gone. The person looked familiar, he was sure of it and so he began to search around but couldn't find her as he was sure it was a 'she'.

He went back to join Simon. By the time he returned, they'd already brought drinks.

"Welcome back Tristan," Simon said.

Effie began to kiss Tristan all over his face but he stopped her. He was dome trying to do the things Tristan Stone did as it only made him irritated.

"Stop." He said firmly, taking her by shock.

"What?" Her brows furrowed in confusion.

"I said stop okay," he repeated himself again.

Simon was surprised by Tristan's action. "Let him be Effie, just go," Simon said to her.

Effie frowned at Tristan, rolled her eyes before leaving them.

That was how Tristan started to drink till he passed out and how he got back home was history to him.
