(35)

Not only once did I catch either Abi or Francine looking in my direction, staring at me exactly.

I am now sitting on a stool near the bar counter. I'm holding a bottle of beer in my left hand while watching the bartender as he mixed the cocktails. Besides him is another cute bartender.

I drank the last contents of my beer.

Before I could even put it down, the bartender gave me another bottle that I had been watching lately.

"You look like you're drinking chocolate milk," he commented.

"I didn't know you were watching." I smiled.

I put my head in his arms and no doubt resisted his gaze.

He flashed a smile. "I was. Is there a problem? "

Oh no, he's become a bit of a flirt, huh?

I'm not drunk yet.

I'm only running out of two bottles of beer. I think I spent more time watching what the bartenders did than drinking.

After a while, the bartender finally sat down in front of me.

Only the bar island mediates between the two of us.

"Moriel," he said, offering his hand. "My name's Moriel."

I raised an eyebrow at him.

I put down the bottle of beer I was holding. "Aya's the name."

I expected him to shake my hand properly because he was offering his hand.But instead, he took mine and shamelessly kissed the back of my hand.

I was shaken and laughed at what he did.

He also immediately let go of my hand after what he did.

I don't know how long we talked either. Until I just felt a hand tap on my shoulder.

I looked at it.

Camilla is eyeing the guy I was talking to. Behind her is Lily, who already looks a bit tipsy. On either side of him were Francine and Abi, who were both supporting him in his arms.

The speed at which he was hit by alcohol

What did she drink?

I was not able to introduce the person I was talking to because he left immediately after his companion called.

I guess he has a customer to entertain. I just let it go and stood up. I just left the drink.

That's already paid, anyway.

I left with the girls.

"You're not drunk yet, are you? Come on, let's eat first" I invited them.

They immediately agreed when I said I was free.

We dressed first in the nearby washroom before heading to a café, I don't know why we got here.

As a matter of fact, it's okay to drink coffee. It also eliminates intoxication.

I can still walk without seeing a sliding floor. My left hand was tucked into my denim jacket. I don't know how I look like but it doesn't matter. On the right I'm holding the cellphone, I'm just scrolling down the feed of my instagram account.

A while ago, I posted a photo of us.

I ordered a slice of blueberry cheesecake and a latte. Both of them were bent over with me so I just told the waiter that it was for them.

They nodded when I asked if my order was okay with them.

Looks like they're drunk already.

Our order came about ten minutes after. I had to wake up Lily and Francine who had fallen asleep on the table.

We didn't stay there long either because my companions were drowsy, I guess Camilla and I were the only ones who hadn't been hit much by the alcohol we drank before.
