🖤Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.🖤

You looked up and your lips parted slightly before they went into a forceful smile. "Hey, Don," you said casually. You weren't exactly known as 'best buddies' but he is your friend's lover, so you're mutual. You didn't expect to hear his voice nor see his face. You could blame it on the fact that it's a small world or acknowledges that you reside in the same city.

It does make sense to see him. A festival is being held here for a couple of days and everyone around who lives here or a tourist from foreign land wanted to get a taste of the beautiful occasion that's being held.

The tall dark skin male bit down on his chicken kabob before dragging the stick away from his mouth, munching on the steaming meat and vegetables. His mouth opened and closed continually as he tried to blow on the hot food that was placed on his tongue while proceeding to eat. It would've been best if he blew onto it while it was still occupied on the stick instead of torturing the inside of his mouth.

"Where's Gilda?" You asked looking away from the troubling male, trying to get sight of your best friend. "Is she here with you?" If he was here, there's no doubt that she was also. They were stuck to each other's hips like white on rice. Whenever you saw one, the other would always be nearby.

"She went to the lady's room to pee," he said bluntly before taking another bite out of the flavorful grub. Your nose caught wif off the delicious aroma and your stomach couldn't help but grumble. It was nighttime now, and the last time you remembered you'd eaten was breakfast from this morning. How long was Ray going to take? You're hungry...

Maybe Don would give you one of his kabobs while you wait for Ray. He probably wouldn't mind. You looked to your right, ready to ask, but he was gone.

"Just like that?" You asked yourself out loud while looking around the crowd. Maybe he threw one of his sticks in a trash can nearby. You turned your head again. He's not here. He left so quickly. Maybe it wouldn't be the best option to intrude on their date, after all, you're in one yourself. You wouldn't be surprised if Don received a message from your friend, stating that she wanted him to come to her because he wandered off.

You stood up, getting ready to buy something of your own, just to satisfy your stomach to stop it from rumbling. What did you have in mind? Maybe you'll buy something like what Don had. You would've gone looking for Gilda, but you were on a date of your own and this was a time for you and your boyfriend.

Speaking of him... where is he?

It felt like more bodies were gradually multiplying in numbers the darker the sky grew. You walked and bumped into a couple of bodies, forcing your way to get through. You followed the signs, along with your sense of smell. The stand can't be too far.

One step at a time. You finally made it to the stand, standing in line with your left hand, holding onto your elbow gently. You stared up at the rectangular sign that's displayed over the stand, surrounded by glowing flickering lights. A couple of teenagers in front of you chatted loudly with each other, shoving each other now and then while laughing. How many should you get... Maybe two. One for you and Ray.
