If I loved you

I said no to alcohol....but it just doesn't listen

Within an hour we settled everything and left the house. We got the money back after explaining everything to the person from whom we rented the house.  The gentleman was very nice so there was no problem.

'Where are we going?' We were walking towards the night market. We decided to leave this place but we didn't decide where to go.

'How about somewhere in the north?'

'Too far.'

'Then....'

'Do we have enough money? Flight fare is high.'

'We can go by road.'

'Okay.'

'Then wait for me near the night market. The bus terminal is near. I am going to arrange two tickets.'

'Then give me some money. I am hungry.'

'You ate so little at dinner....here. Buy some for me too.'

'Okay.'

Our two hour window is almost up but fortunately the road from the airport to town is on the other side of the city so I am not worried.

Luke went to the bus terminal and I entered the night market. The skewers were looking good so I want to buy them but on my way saw an open bar.

Buy food or buy drinks......my heart was swaying after seeing so much alcohol.

Hell with food! I am just going to buy some real alcohol. I will deal with Luke later.

'Hi handsome! What do you want to drink tonight?' A cute girl asked me.

'I want something strong. What do you have?' I don't have much money though.

'Mn....then let me make something for you. One glass and you will start to dance.'

'My alcohol tolerance is not bad.' I laughed.

'Really? Then take this bottle. It's local made and very strong.'

'How much?'

The price wasn't very high so I bought two bottles and sat down on a bench facing the sea.

Ah! Now I am going to drink something strong. But I need to finish it before Luke comes back. So I finished one of them very quickly. Yes, that girl was right. It was spicy and strong. I liked it very much. Then I shoved the other one in my backpack. I'll finish you later.

Then I went to buy some skewers. So when Luke came back I was sitting on a bench whistling happily.

'Here, the bus will be leaving in ten minutes.' He gave me two tickets to Trat.

'We are going to Trat?'

'Mn. It's near Rangong. It will be easier to monitor Non and I have some connections there.'

'Trat it is then.' I agreed.

'Why are you smiling so much?' He asked suspiciously.

'Here, eat this. It's delicious.' I hurriedly gave him the packet. Eat, eat.... don't ask questions.

'Skewers?'

'Mn.'

'Where's yours?'

'Finished.'

Actually there wasn't enough money to buy for two so.....I didn't eat any.

'Mn. It's good.'

'Let's go to the bus terminal.' I started to walk.

'Let me carry your backpack.'

'It's not heavy.' I lied. Don't want to leave my precious in his custody.
