As soon as i stepped in the club, i struggled to go past drunk and dancing people. The loud thumping music deafening my ears. I don't know where i'm heading and my feet stepping forward were taking charge of me.

Finally, i made to the bar counters.

Several men and women were sitting, there was barely a seat free. It's really crowded here today.

My intention here is to see a certain person and...i just saw him right now behind the counter, busy with the drinks.

I smiled delightfully and walked near to him. The seats there were taken already but there was still some space between them. Lucky for a lanky person like me. I leaned on the bar on my elbows, supporting my chin charmingly.

"Excuse me. Can i have blended whiskey?"

"Yes, sir but please wai-Oh..Jimmy?" He smiled at me and glee can be seen in his eyes.

"Just wait. I need to serve them first." He said pointing at his customers in front of him with his chin before rushing with his current work again.

"No worries."

I observed every thing he did for a few minutes until he came in front of me with the drink i ordered. Though he masked himself with a smile, i can see it clearly. He was feeling tired and dreadful. Tired is because of work but why distressed?

"Hey, i was kidding. You didn't have to bring this."

"It's what you ordered, sir. I have to." He said with a teasing tone. He's just trying to make himself more cheerful i know it.

I chuckled and took the glass, drinking a sip of it.

~Do you remember when we kissed in the bathroom~

The music playing now has changed from those franky tilting beats to a beautiful song. Striptease by Carwash. The song that i really love.

I licked my lips before i spoke.

"So how are you? Everything?"

~Oh damn that was just two hours ago~

"Oh shut up. You didn't even answer my question and just darted off. Why do i have to?" He giggled.

"Okay okay. Sorry bout that. I suddenly remembered something urgent."

~Your shoe laces were untied~

"I know right. I'm just kidding." He smiled but his smile slowly disappeared.

"I'm okay." He said, sending his gaze to anywhere except me. He does this when he's trying to lie about something.

I still remember you, Tommy. I remember you very well.

"You're not okay."

~You said to me~

"Why are you trying to cover yourself from me?...We're best friends right?..or..no?"

"..Yes, you are of course! You're still my best friend. My only one." He protested quickly, red color crawling up his face.

"Then why don't you tell me hmm?"

~That's how i like mine~

"Look..i know we just met again yesterday but...you can tell me anything that's bothering you ok?..I'm here to listen." I held on his hand and caressed it which i knew it as a way to comfort him. We stared at each other with a comfortable silence between us.

~On and on~

~Like you were my first love~

~We could just run away~
