-,,I don't understand why out of sudden all of you gotta go?"
I frowned eyes at Jonathan, Alec and Luke who were about to leave and stood up out of their seats.
-,,I told you, Jons folks aint home till Friday and we're taking adventage of situation.Question is why you can't go?"It was all Marcuss fault.It was perfectly planned evening, we come to diner, eat, take a few drinks, buy some booze and go to Jonathans.Now I'm left behind cuz Marcuss put me in this mess and didn't tell me he invited Jossy and her so called friend.
I groaned and folded arms.-,,Look dude, we're going to dragstore to get some alcohol and snacks, when u done with whatever youre having, come to Jonathans. I texted Marc to come too but it seems like he has better things to do." -Alec rolled eyes and smirked offering hand to me.I nodded and accepted his hand.
-,,See ya later dude."
-,,Later Alec."~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Next 15 minutes ,Diners door kept opening and closing, untill finally I saw siluette of long legs in jeanshorts and that light brown long hair coming in.She looked around and faced me, slightly smiling. She wore a white crop-top and shirt tied around her waist. But she wasn't alone. Behind her, slightly taller than her, with pale skin and long black curly hair almost as long as Jossys, the girl closed the door and followed Jossys gaze at me.
I shortly waved hand at them as they were walking towards me.For a moment it all seemed like slow motion.For some reason whenever she walks towards me tossing that hair she looks like in slow motion.
-,,Hey you."-She stood next to table smiling at me.
I nodded head in greeting and saluted.
-,,You took your time."
-,,Pff I told Marcuss around 9ish.He isn't here though?"
I shrugged. -,,Bootycall."
She laughed low and I smiled when voice behind her cleared her throat.
-,,Oh right, almost forgot, Andre this is Andrea, shes my friend I told you about."
Tall girl stood next to her and offered me a hand. -,,Ive heard about you aswell." I looked at her face.She had really big brown eyes,apple sized,her cheek bones were accentuated.She was also skinnier than Jossy and by the looks of her standing in front of me I'd say almost as tall as me.Despite her long legs, they were nothing like Jossys.I accepted and gently squeezed her hand.
-,,Andre.Only best I assume."
I smiled lowly.
-,,Obviously not good enough."
She looked at me then at Jossy raising her eyebrow.Jossy silently sat down across me and Andrea followed her letting go of my hand but not before she brushed her fingers on mine.-,,Anything to drink?"I offered looking at them.Jossy was looking at table in thoughts before she looked at me and then looked at Andrea.After they exchanged looks she nodded.
-,,Just 2 beers."~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
5 rounds of beer and 3 rounds of tequila later we were loudest table at Diner.It was half empty really,It was 10:30 and on work days of week Diner was working untill 11.
Conversation went fluently, it was mostly me and Andrea talking, Jossy would say something at times, a short comment or reply. She have been like this whole night.I didnt say nothing but watch her behaviour indirectly. Her shoulders were down, her lips pressed together, her eyes always looking around. I wondered what made her sad. Or worse, what made her silent. So I asked her when Andrea went to bathroom.-,,Nothing, I guess I'm just a bit distant." She shrugged.
-,,Maybe but you were never quiet."-I smirked as I saw her lips trying not to curve into a smile.
-,,I guess this alcohol made me sleepy.Now I'm into a phase where either I need to continue drinking either go home and sleep.Since this place is closing soon I guess my bed home is calling me." -she blinked slowly and leaned her cheek on her hand.As for me I wasnt even tipsy.I have high alcohol tolerance.Maybe tonight at Jonathans I finally get at least close to being smashed.Jonathans.I looked over at Jossy and looked at beer in my hands.
-,,You know, if you don't feel like going home, Jonathan has empty crib tonight.Guys are already there."
She looked at me poking her nose with her index finger.
-,,They wouldn't mind if you bring us along?"
I shrugged.
-,,I don't see why would they."
-,,Welll if youu suree, okay then I guess"-she said slowly-,,I'll ask Andrea if she wants to go."
-,,Alright,ill text them before we leave."
-,,And you..-she cleared her throat.-,,you would like me to be there?with your friends..and you?"
Her green eyes stared at mine.I smiled slowly and moved my hand next to hers that was resting on table.Our fingers brushed and I looked back at her.
-,,If you promise to cheer up."
She smiled nodding and looked at our hands,brushing palm over mine.-,,Woah this beer really has high effects on me."-Andreas voice beside us made us look away from eachother and move our hands to ourselves.
-,,Makes u flood doesn't it."- I pointed at beer finishing it up.-,,Hey Dri,Andres friend has empty house tonight and he invited us to go with him.Wanna go?"
-,,If there will be any alcohol count me in.Let's see if you kids know how to have fun." She was 3 years older than me so she gave herself right to call me a kid.But I didnt mind.Jossy was year younger than me.-,,You two get ready, I'm going to take care of the check and ill meet you in front."
They nodded and started picking tgeir stuff.As I was leaned on counter waiting for change, I typed a quick message./to:Alec
//Got room for 3 more?-,,Here you go,thankyou."
-,,Thanks, cya." I tucked change in pocket when my phone buzzed./Alec
Onlu if thy hotI smiled locking the phone and went outside where they were waiting for me.
-,,Shall we?"
We started walking towards the street, Andrea talked about her highschool days and Jossy and me walked side to side brushing elbows and arms on eachothers.
