„Absolutely. But doesn't matter how much you love it, I don't think that I can drink a whole pint of beer." You could see in my face that I was disgusted by the thought of so much beer.
Tobi laughed and rolled his eyes at the same time.
Meanwhile Louis boxed gently against my upper arm and said „Come on, don't be so prejudiced."
„Calm down you two, I will try it and the possibility is high that I will like it, I just can't drink much of it."
„It's okay love", Louis said.
I was glad that he didn't see how red my cheeks became. That we had arrived the pub in the meantime was my saving.
Because of the early December weather we all had red cheeks and the warmth inside of the pub didn't change that in a positive way.
It was relatively early that's why it was not too full and not too loud. You could mainly hear one group of people laughing and talking.
Louis and Tobi headed directly to exactly that group. They where sitting around a table and had visibly much fun.
When the three of us arrived Louis and Tobi were welcomed with happiness and soon Louis' friends had discovered me and looked at me curiously.
„This is Thea", Louis said, no further explanations, nothing more, but the others welcomed me warmly and not long after that I found myself on a bench between Louis and a stranger, in front of me Tobi and a lot of more strangers.
My jacket was behind me next to a lot of other jackets and I just hoped I would find it again.
The most people talked again and before I even noticed it I was in a conversation with the person on my right side.
I got to know that he was a friend of Louis and that his name was Simon, but we didn't talk much about us, more about music and books, film and arts. It was a great conversation. After a while Tobi and Louis linked themselves in and the four of us had a long discussion about the importance of film music.
