English Rain & Tea 》p.l

d a y t w o

11:55am

Phil heard his front door slam close, which made him jolt out of bed. His roommate, Dan, had slept in and rushed out of the house so he couldn't be late for work.

Dan is the owner of a pub in South London. He wasn't much of a person who likes alcohol, but he manage that pub specifically because instead of the pub tv showing a football match. It showed people playing video games. The pub is is quite popular on a weekly basis.

Phil felt a cool breeze nearby, which doesn't bother him as much, he usually sleeps with a window open, because he like the feeling of being cold at night when he sleeps, and the traffic coming from the busy highway usually helps him get to sleep.
He often closes his window just in case it rains overnight and soak his carpet. In which it happens almost every night.

He put on his glasses and shut the window. He went into the kitchen and turned the kettle on, making himself a cup of coffee, so he can fully function during the day.
He turned to the fridge and saw a note coming from Dan. Phil tried to read his messy handwriting.

Ran out of milk.
Can you go get some while you're out?
Also get tea and biscuits.
Much thank
-Dan

Phil shook his head and place the note on the bench. He took out some cereal and ate them dry, knowing him it'll piss off Dan. But Phil couldn't help it, since there is no milk.

Phil got himself dressed and now he is standing outside waiting for the bus to arrive. He shield his face from the light rain so his glasses doesn't get dirty.
He didn't need to go to uni today since it's his day off. So he's going out to get his groceries.

The bus arrives and he sat in his usual spot at the back. He checked his social media, he got a notification saying that one of his good mates, Jack Howard, got engaged to his girlfriend Hazel. He sent his congratulations to them both and continued to scroll through his social media.

He looked outside and saw that he was near to his destination, he put his phone away and waited until the bus to stop.
The rain outside started to pour down heavier, he lifted his hood up over his head and got out of the bus.

Phil wandered through the isles with a basket in his hand, filled with what he needs; milk, cereal, and a couple bags of microwave popcorn for himself. All he needs is tea and biscuits.

He went into the tea lies and found the tea that Dan needed him to get, and carried out to the biscuit isle. He spotted a packet of biscuits that Dan likes and sped walk up to it, he realises that it's only one left. He reached out his hand to grabbed the packet, but only to be interrupted by another hand touching his hand, he turned his head to his right and noticed a girl with medium brown hair, who Phil recognises was the same girl from the bus yesterday, was also reaching out to grab the packet. They both pulled their hands away.

'Sorry' they both said.

'You have it...' She said, pulling her trolley towards her so other people can walk past them. Phil noticed that inside the trolley had a small girl sitting, staring on to him.

'No, no, you have it... It looks like your daughter might want it more than I do..' Phil said, his cheeks were slightly burning due to embarrassment.

'Oh.. Uh.. Thanks..' She grabbed the packet of biscuits and put it in her trolley. She smiled at Phil awkwardly, which he did the same.

'Uh.. Also she's not my daughter, she's my little sister... But thank you'

'Oh... sorry'

She got her trolley and glanced at Phil for the last time before she walked off. Phil stood there embarrassed. He grabbed a random packet of biscuits and walked off to the self check out. He walked out after buying his stuff and into the pouring rain.

Great.
