Cheers to comeuppance Novels & Stories

He never lets me get far. I lace my fingers with his, a grin splitting my face as Hayley’s voice rises in a toast; “Here’s to the downfall of Château Claire and the disgrace of our enemies. Here’s to greater revenge plots and the juicy tears of all our transgressors. Cheers, everyone!!” We raise our glasses and chorus in harmony; “cheers!!” “Damn, this is good wine.” Hayley says, smacking her lips in approval. She lifts her glass in my direction and gives me a wink; “you’re the best at what you do, mamacita.”

Fought "CHEERS! CHEERS!" I raised my glass of wine, and my two friends Nancy and Cedy also raised their glasses and clinked with my glass. "Cheers!" "Cheers!" The three of us happily got together at Cedy's birthday which was held at a bar. He rented the whole bar, well he knew the owner so he easily asked him to celebrate his birthday there with his close friends and family who love bar hopping.

As we finished our meal and prepared to leave, Derek picked up his glass of wine and looked at me with a mischievous grin. "Hey, let's cheers to something," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement. I raised an eyebrow, curious. "What are we cheering to?" I asked, picking up my own glass of wine. Derek thought for a moment, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Let's cheers to you, and your amazing journey," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "You've come a long way, Cynthia, and I'm so proud of you."

I laugh and pour myself another cup of whisky. I raise the cup in the air and cheer to no one in particular. “To Nathan's downfall” I gulp the drink and smile at the burn.

“Revenge tastes better when paired with champagne, yachts, and credit cards. Let’s make this interesting. We celebrate success… and maybe show them just how far we’ve come.” Duke raised his glass. “To the launch… and to payback!” “All right,” Luke said, clinking glasses with the others. “To success.” The sound of crystal meeting crystal echoed across the office, carrying the thrill of triumph and the faint glimmer of mischief. As the champagne flowed, the four friends relaxed into their own personalities.

I screamed at him as soon as I barged in, he removed his glasses and looked at me with a calm smirk. "I asked you something." "Well I don't think I did something wrong so I don't find it necessary to answer you." he said standing up and coming near me. "Wrong? Everything is wrong. Do you know how much difficulty I had to undertake so that my new name could be created? At least do you know what will be the complications of this absurdity?" I asked him and I am sure he can see the fumes coming out of my years. "Revenge is sweet, senorita."

"Here's to a totally kick-ass cabin, built by a totally kick-ass babe. May you have many happy and fulfilling years here. Cheers." I smiled and clinked my bottle into his. "Thanks. Cheers."

A smirk of firm resolution. Looks like he's in the same boat as me… "So Jasper…cheers to us!" With that, our bottles clinked together, signifying the sound of a new beginning. *****

It was obvious that something was going to happen between them, and Quinn was both nervous and excited. "I only do 'cheers' with the whole bottle. Are you sure?" She paused for a moment before nodding. She grabbed onto one of the bottles and licked her lips. "Cheers to spending time alone tonight! I know that you don't really like Catelyn. You're only with her for the sake of the children, right?" "Since you already have it all figured out, why bother asking me about it?" Cedrick clinked another bottle with hers before lifting his chin to gulp down on the wine; his Adam's apple moving up and down following his motion.
