Mai In Trouble

"Mai, I'll be out for a while. Gotta get some booze before Terry and Joe arrive!" Andy shouted through the bathroom door. He jangled his money while keeping an eye on the clock.
"Okay!" Mai answered. She leaned back in the hot tub, luxuriating in the warm foamy water. The front door clicked shut - she was alone in the house now.
"Ahhh... this feels great..." Mai thought as she wiggled blissfully in the water. She had spent the whole afternoon with Yuri and King, shopping for that elusive perfect dress. And she had found it, she thought triumphantly. It was in the window display of a little shop cleverly hidden away at Hajuto Avenue.
Her keen radar - which had never failed her before, alerted her to that shimmering beautiful mirage hung in the window. She took one good look and immediately, went in to buy it. She didn't even haggle with the saleslady over the price - it was just too perfect. Too perfect for anyone except her, she grinned wickedly.
She sighed contentedly and slowly, her eyes fluttered shut….
Half an hour later…
The front door of their apartment opened and a tall broad handsome man entered. He wipes the sweat off his brow while taking off his jacket and cap.
"Yo, anyone in?" Terry shouted as he switched the telly on - loud. He slumped on the couch, ready to lose himself in the mindless variances of football. But the heat soon proved too much for him. He got up and made his way to the refrigerator.
He scavenged for a cold beer in vain. He stared blankly at the contents of the fridge. Nope, no beer… only… milk! He grimaced and closed the fridge.
"Hey, Andy I thought you're getting some booze for us - where is it?? Oh, the
game's starting… Man U VS Liverpool! Hey Andy! You gotta watch this!!
Mai's eyes snapped open. Her body jerked in reflex and bathwater swooshed to the floor. She thought there was someone in the house. She tensed. When the muted sounds of the crowd roaring their disapproval at Man U drifted its way to her, she relaxed.
"That must be Andy back with the beer." Mai thought. She spoke aloud.
"An-dy… did you get some sake for me as well?"
Terry cocked his ears. He thought he heard Andy's voice in the bathroom. He made his way towards it…
What in the world will happen next?
