Before the Banquet Chapter 3

4 A.M again, It's annoying. But what can I do? nothing, well not really nothing. after all, I have meds that make me sleep. I won't drink my meds, I don't want to be reliant on them. well since It's 4 A.M I guess I'll try to read. Scratch that idea, I remember I have a big day ahead of me. I have to close the shop early.

The banquet will be held at 3 P.M so I have to close the shop by 2 P.M.

Okay, time to get out of bed. wait why am I on my sofa and why does my head hurt more than usual. I took a deep breath and it tasted like piss what in the world.

I'm trying to remember what happened last night, but only vivid images are showing what in the world did I do!?

I'm flustered I should calm down.

Now, if I'm on my couch who in the world is in my bed.

I immediately run toward my bedroom. What I saw shocked me. It was Diana, she was in my bedroom. How did she get here, why was she here? A lot of questions were popping in my mind and Diana was the only one who could answer it, but it's rude to wake somebody up so I'll wait for her to wake up.

Since I'm waiting might as well make some coffee for the two of us. wait that's it morning coffee talk that's what we're gonna do nice, ok I'm gonna prepare coffee for two.

Preparing coffee is easy after all I have a coffee machine. Some say that brewing it manually is better and I agree but, I have my custom set for special occasions only obviously, this is not one of them.

So coffee will be done by five minutes. Now, what to eat hmm maybe a tuna sandwich or bacon pancakes. I chose tuna sandwich now, to prepare it. I grab some bread from one of my drawers then I opened a can of tuna and then heat it up in a pan. Smelling the tuna I knew the day ahead of me will be great.

five minutes passed, I'm done heating up the tuna and the coffee is ready.

Wait I'm dumb it's four in the morning; I don't know what time she'll wake up. the food will lose its heat, heat = taste. Dammit, what am I supposed to do? reheating it in a microwave will make it lose its original taste.

pacing around my house I didn't realize somebody was walking right beside me eating the food I made. eating the food I make hahaha....wait she's awake OMG. what should I say? I'm panicking.

"Hi, you okay?"

I snapped out of confusion. I realized this is not an anime or a novel for me to overthink on what to say.

"Diana, may I ask something?" I grabbed a mug of coffee and sip on it. It tasted slightly bitter with a slightly sweet and creamy aftertaste to balance it out.

It slightly startled her lowering her face as if blushing. "What did I do last night" the question lingers even more now.

"what happened last night, can you please tell me?" I asked.

"well what happened was"

....

"Damn Poseidon always taking me for a child. I'm so mad, I need a drink. mister connector I never asked for your name did I? so what's your name"(Diana)

"My surname is Woke. if there's nothing else then please help yourself out"(Woke/Connector)

"Mr.Woke care to join me for a drink?"(Diana)

"Sure, a cup of coffee is always fine with me"(Woke/Connector)

"I meant some alcohol"(Diana)

"No thank you, besides I still have work till six"(Woke/Connector)

"So you're saying you're gonna grab a drink if your work is done?"(Diana)

"Maybe, anyway if there's nothing else please help yourself out"(Woke/Connector)

...

three hours passed. you walked out of your office and then...

.....

"Hello, so about that drink?"(Diana)

"fine, sigh let's have a drink"(Woke/Connector)

"yes, ok where do we go?"(Diana)

"I thought you knew where after all you're inviting me to drink"(Woke/Connector)

"wait let me think...I got nothing"(Diana)

"sigh, I know a place nearby about a ten-minute walk"(Woke/Connector)

"Okay, we shall go there then"(Diana)

....

walking toward the bar you were very grumpy but still, you went with me and drank some alcohol.

....

"So, why are you so mad at Poseidon"(Woke/Connector)

"who wouldn't be mad being left alone to run the family business but, he has the audacity to make calls in my company even though he's not there physically. I mean yeah sure he's a king and he's busy but, what about me; Do I mean nothing to them?"(Diana)

"There there Diana, I mean Ms. Diana"(Woke/Connector)

"Diana is fine, Anyway Mr.Woke thanks for accompanying me"(Diana)

"No problem Diana"(Woke/Connector)

...

after a while, you got drunk and we went back to your apartment
