There were more people in the bar that night.
Got my hands pretty busy, taking orders, making drinks, and entertaining people with tricks.
But I am enjoying my job - listening to their chatters and gossips, sometimes joining the conversation -just socializing.
It makes me forgot about the time. I didn't even notice, until later, that Mr. Smith and Levi-san had moved to his office, sometime ago.
Well, there were much more people than it used to in the weekdays.
I still got an hour in my shift. The bar area was less crowded by now. Only a few people were at the counter.
A snoring man at the corner, a couple of gossiping chicks near my left side with cocktails in their hands. And at the other side, a depressed looking guy in a suit, with his fifth or sixth shot infront of him.
Beside them, there were only me and some glasses waiting to be polished.
At this time of the day, there weren't much people coming in to the bar.
Of course, It was one in the morning. Most people were sleeping soundly in their houses.
I was busy arranging the bottles, when I noticed a person sit at the counter infront of me. I got up from squating position, to serve them.
"Ah, Levi-san" the corners of my mouth curvesd up instantly,
"You're still using it.." he chuckled,
"Use what??" I said inconfusion,
"Nevermind, its cute when you're the one saying it.." He said straightly, making me flustered again.
"A-anyway.." Changing the topic, "What can I help you with?" I continued,
"More wine, would do.." He crossed his arms on the table,
"Then wine, it is." I grabbed a glass and poured his preferred drink, setting it in front of him.
He finished the dark purple-ish liquid in silence. He extended the glass to me, asking for a refill.
As a bartender, I observe people that came here. That includes Levi-san.
I automatically memorized the habbits and patterns of the regulars at the bar.
Eventhough he had been a regular for about a month, I never saw him drunk at all.
And the only thing I know was, He prefers wine than a martini when he's stressed or irritated.
"Work?"
"No.." He let out a smile,
"Just some.. stuff." He said, while staring at the liquid. I could sense some irritation when he said the word 'stuff'.
"Just don't forget you drove here." I gave him a reminder, hoping he didn't forget before he gets tipsy , if he even could.
"A little won't hurt. Besides, It's just wine." He smirks, then sipping more from his second glass. And extending it again.
"Eren, I could take over the shift from here. You could head home first," Mr Smith suddenly appeared from my back, taking the wine bottle from my hands.
I turned to see Mr Smith next to me.
"Ah, Danchou! It's already time? Then I'll go get my stuff first ,then." I was a bit surprised.
Mr Smith prefers to be called Danchou than Boss. He said it feels like he gets more of the feeling or something.
"Eyebrows," Levi-san seems to often address him that, seeing as Mr Smith just gave him a smile.
They must be really good friends.
"I'll excuse myself then,Levi-san" I gave him a small bow and a smile.
"You still need to catch the last train, you know." Danchou reminded me again.
"Yes.." I said dragging the 'e' a bit, while heading to the door that separates the bar area and the back room.
"Eren," Levi-san called me just before I got in to the back room.
"Yes?" I responded,
"...I'll drop you at the station." He said after a moment and a few seconds of silence.
Danchou was giving him a questioning look.
"Ah, It's okay. I could just walk there.."
"It's alright, I want to," He insisted,
"Umm.. O-okay then. I'll hurry and get my things then." I didn't want to burden him more, though. But it means, I'll get to see him just abit more before I got home. Yay!
It's okay to be a bit selfish, right?
I rushed to the back room, with my heart feeling tingly.
When I walked back into the bar area, I had already changed from my uniform.
Levi-san and Danchou were still talking. I could practically hear them from the backroom-door.
"I'm telling you, Levi. You can't rush things, or it would be a mess. We don't want that 'incident' to happen again."
I could hear Levi-san let out a small growl.
"Fine," he rubbed in between his brows,
I didn't mean to eavesdrop, Besides I didn't know what were they talking about.
I walked to the bar counter with my bag on my back.
Danchou was the first one that noticed me.
"Ah Eren, Are you done?" he asked,
Levi-san just noticed me as he turned my way.
"Yep. I'm ready to go." I gave them a tap on my bag indicating that I got my things.
Levi-san got up from his seat and head to the front door.
"Hurry up, brat, you don't wanna miss your train." He gestured to hurry along.
I followed behind him,
"Danchou-san, Thankyou for the hard work!" I turned around to give a small bow and a wave.
"You, too, Eren. See you tommorow." He gave a smile in return and wave back.
Levi-san dropped me off at the station. Well, He wanted to see me off safely to the train. So, He parked the car and folowed me inside until the gate.
He still got his annoyed look. So, I decided to give him my number. He was abit surprised. But gladly accept it, though.
His mouth curved up a little, when he watched me type his contact.
It gave my heart a fluttering feeling.
The train was about to leave, So we parted after exchanging numbers.
When I was about to enter the gate, he pulled one of my arm, making me turn around in surprise.
He kissed the corner of my lips as I turn.
Luckily, the station was empty at this hour or we'll be the center of attention.
"See you soon, Brat." He said it to my ears.
He turn around and leave with a sly smirk on his face. Leaving me, being a speechless tomato face, in the center of the empty station.
"I'm not a brat.." I whispered to myself.
Unconciously, my hand touched the place where he put his lips on.
