Under The Cold Moonlight

Chapter 8- Wasted blonde

~Augustine's Pov~

After going to that carnival. I can't even explain how many times I felt this intense struck of emotions when Winnie and I were dancing. the fact that it felt nothing like a simple dance were it was for fun and jokes NO—it felt like Winnie was about to propose! And I mean it literally.

How much I don't want to admit it... back then, I always admired Winnie growing up and until now I still admired him maybe because his a smart person who always get straight A's or maybe because of his looks, its a bold face lie if I say he wasn't an attractive person.

Before the car incident, I consistently keep myself from saying hurtful things to Winnie even if sometimes I do say them yet I always dismiss it by saying its nothing and not addressing the real problem. Leading to miscommunication between us.

After the car crush though...everthing went back to normal, heck! Much more better than before, I just realize on how much worth Winnie is to me, back when we were still in highschool I used to see Winnie as someone who's annoying, childish to be exact but now I just see this kind of behavior of Winnie's as something special like the kind of special you can only get in a rare occassion... something you just don't get every lifetime. Probably in a different point of view I'm already considered  lucky, lucky to be with him.

All of this thinking about Winnie is starting to make my heart pound. It's pounding so fast that it feels like its about to jump out of my body at any given moment.

I looked at my side and there's Winnie smiling while scrolling on his phone happily. As much as I knew a small smile has already made its way to my blissful face, looking at Winnie feels like a dream. Heh...Augustine whats gotten in to you?

Both Winnie and I entered the bar as we did we were greeted by this lingering smell of alcohol which was not pleasant for the two of us but I guess what else will you expect in a bar?

We went ahead and seated in a corner of the bar. Well its not like a bar completely more like a mix of a resturant and a bar to be precise. Winnie nonchalantly looked at me asking what am I going to order. So I look at the establishment's menu and suprisingly they've got alot to choose from to full course meals to different varieties of beverages.

I only choose like an 18 dollar meal minus the drinks since Winnie really insisted that he was the one going to pay the drinks.

While waiting for the food, I'm actually suprise that we haven't spoken anything for the last one hour and here we are managing to communicate over body language. I don't know if thats the aftermath of being with someone for almost your entire life or its just something I'm used to seeing.

before I was starting to go deeper in my thoughts the sound of trays meeting the table seems to switch my focus.

Our food have arrive.

~~~

Me and Winnie eat silently on the table. We did talk a little while passing different dishes to each other since we both didn't exactly order the same thing Winnie suggested that I should try the food he order, so I did. Eventually I let him try mine so that way we were even.

Sometime later, the drinks we order have arrive.

I was the one who decided what drinks we were getting since Winnie didn't really know much where to begin.

"Geez! Winnie when I said that you should stop drinking, you REALLY have to do the exact opposite of what I said do you?"

Augustine stated annoyed at the wasted blonde still continuing drinking despite Augustine's warning not to.

"Hehe..."
