"This air is getting so thin, go down, go down, go down. The Honey Whiskey's kicking, go down, go down, go down. I think I'll better go before I try something I might regret, I might regret".

Honey Whiskey // Nothing But Thieves

"I'm hunrgy". Giulia whined for the fourth time as she grabbed onto Daniel's biceps, still swaying to the music. Daniel looked down at her eyes that were hazed by the alcohol, her mascara was a bit smudged and she only had a circle of red lipstick on her lips, all the shot glasses had a red lipstick stain on them too. "I said I'll take you out to eat in a few a couple times, did you even hear me?". Daniel laughed and she automatically giggled, not even hearing what he said but she still laughed because he did so as well. He shook his head as Giulia was the one who was frightened for going out because they were going to a concert tomorrow, but now she was the one who was absolutely smashed drunk.

Daniel ushered her towards the stairs and she let out a cry as she stood at the top of the stairs, holding onto the railing. "What?". He asked. "Stairs are not so good". Giulia slurred, her body leaning into him again. He rolled his eyes and swung her legs over his arms and his other shoved under her back to carry her downstairs. She let out a squeal of joy and kept giggling till he put her down on the pavement outside, making him wonder if she didn't take whiff of cocaine inbetween those tequila shots. "What do you want to eat?". He asked her and she hooked her arm in his. "Hmm". She hummed, looking down at her feet, counting her steps as her mind was spinning and everything seemed to come towards her in slow motion.

"Something Pierre doesn't want me to eat". Giulia blurted out, the scream she let out afterwards because she obviously thought it was hilarious, made Daniel chuckle again. "What would that be?". He asked and it was quiet for a moment. "I don't know, Kebab or something. Food with a lot of calories". Giulia said and he pulled her aside for a taxi that stopped for a couple behind them. They came across a lot of food courts and Daniel stopped at the Shoarma and Kebab court, she'd probably eat anything he ordered at the moment. They waited in line and Giulia hummed a song she had heard earlier tonight, looking around for a bit. Daniel looked over at her every now and then, staring at the side of her face.

She was still undeniably beautiful, his heart swelling up as she looked back at him and immediately the wide smile broke through on her face. "Why are you looking at me like that?". Giulia giggled and sucked her lower lip into her mouth, moving to clamp her hands around his arm and rest her head on his shoulder. "Nothing". He replied, glad she couldn't see his face now and glad that she was too drunk to hear the lie in his voice. Daniel gently loosened himself from her and took the two pita slices with Kebab between it, handing one over to her and pulled her out of the line so they could wander to somewhere else and eat it. Giulia decided sitting down on the side of the pavement was good enough, so that's exactly where she sat down.

"My feet are hurting". She complained, however that was soon forgotten when she took a bite of her food. "Does Pierre really not want you to eat stuff like this?". He asked as he hadn't been able to drop the comment she made before they were looking for a food court. Giulia shrugged. "He's really into eating healthy and all that bullshit". She said. Daniel held back his laughter as she had already ate her way through half of her food and he had taken like two bites. "I mean...". Giulia spoke up again with a mouth full. "I am too, I need to stay fit for when I have to get into the car, but we're never eating something off his schedule and it makes me want to throw up". She made a noise as if she was puking and Daniel rose his eyesbrows at the sound effects.

"Can't you just talk about it with him?". Daniel said and she shook her head. It took her a while to speak up again. "I don't want a fight, we're tense at the moment". She curtly responded and he nodded as he understood. "I don't want this anymore". Giulia said and he looked at her with wide eyes. "The kebab I mean". They both laughed as Daniel thought she abrubtly decided to break up with Pierre or something. "Me neither". Daniel replied and she subtly placed it next to her on the ground, shifting closer to Daniel. "What time is it?". She asked and he turned his wrist to take a look on his watch. "Half past five, sun's coming up in a few". Daniel said and she nodded. "That's okay".
