I Love You.. Just Kidding!

a free drink.

It's been a couple of days since the "audition". All they have to do is to wait for their call.

The roommates have been working since then like usual. They can't stop working, unless their rent is all free. 

That would be impossible, right?

The loud claps and cheers have been heard all around the pub. 

People grinned and laughed at the brunette's stories and jokes, just like how he wanted it to be. 

After suspending himself off from the Drama School, he decided to start his comedian life in the Wingman Pub. 

The manager was nothing but incredibly nice to the young lad, that Jose was a close friend to almost everyone who worked on the pub. 

Heck, even the audience recognized him and also liked the brunette for his funny true stories, especially his personality.

It was almost the end of his performance, and the comedian displayed a shy smile for them as he held out the microphone to continue talking. 

"Okay, okay. Of course you guys are always excited for my announcements, but this one is far more exciting than the rest." 

"Tell us already!" One of the women who sat by with her three girl friends said, followed by their whistles and laughs. Even Jose let out a soft chuckle at them.

"So, you guys know that I used to do plays. I've told it a thousand times in different stories and well, this is been one of the most incredible opportunities I've ever had.."

The crowd went silent, waiting for the comedian to continue and to stop beating around the bush. 

Even the bartenders and the waitresses stopped their tracks to listen to the performer.

"I've been invited and auditioned to a movie with Grant Henry, and it was a success!"

The audience began to cheer, clap, whistle, and laugh even louder. 

Toasting their newly brewed drinks to congratulate the young man. This made Jose smile, and laugh with the crowd. 

But he didn't stop there. 

"I would like to thank you all for this wonderful opportunity. Without you guys, I would never been invited to any movies at all. It's been almost..4 years since I stopped studying in Drama School. I'm very thankful for your support and love." Then, he made a bow. 

"Hey! It's like, your personality is what brought us all here. And this is what we could do for you." The same woman said, crossing her legs and raising her glass to make a toast.

"Yeah!" "You said it!" "Bro, she's right!"

The audience agreed to what she said, which made the brunette flutter with shyness and appreciation. 

Jose scratched his nape as he giggled on the mic, feeling his heart getting warmer from all that love and care they got for him. 

It is rare to have someone to support you even when you aren't their friend, especially with a big group of people. 

So you better appreciate what they thought of you, and love you.

The comedian cleared his throat, and held the mic tightly. 

"Very well, let's make this night a wonderful celebration! Have a fun night everyone!" Then with that, he waved.

They all clapped and cheered one last time, as the male placed the mic back on the stand and stepped down from the small stage. 

Hearing them congratulating the comedian as he walks pass them, so he thanked and smiled at them in return.  

Jose went to the bar and sat down on one of the stools. Seeing Lloyd, one of the bartenders who's a redhead with glasses on, gave the brunette a wide smile. 

Lloyd seems to be a serious man with sharp eyes, but when he smiles he definitely looks like a different person. 

Jose also thought he's a serious man until he saw him bursting out laughing at a corny joke one of the waiters said. 

Lloyd is a cool person, but even with those sharp eyes you should be aware of what you're telling him. 

One wrong move and he'll hit your head with whatever is in his hand.

Jose looked at Jake and he raised a brow, with a one way smile. "What's with that smile?"

"What's wrong with my smile?" Lloyd asked as he wiped some newly washed glasses.

 "Eh..It looks like it has a deep meaning or something."

"Well, We're very proud of you. And also.." Lloyd started to pour one of the glasses with Jose's favorite gin. Placing it in front of the future actor.

Jose got even more confused as he looked down at the glass. "Is this a free drink or-"

"Someone paid it for ya. He told me to get you your favorite drink since we talked about you while you were performing." Then, Lloyd continue to wipe the glasses clean.

"He? Who is 'He'?" The brunette then quickly looked around. Left, right, back, forth, up.

The redhead laughed, shaking his head at the idiot. Keeping his eyes down on his work, adjusting his glasses back up to the top of his nose bridge as it was almost falling down.

"He left before you walked down the stage. And, well.."

Jose turned back to the bartender with interested eyes. 

"Well?"

"He told me not to tell you who he is. You'll see him soon." The bartender said with a soft smile.

"Wait, what!? See him soon? How- wait, is he a comedian too!? Hey! Tell me!"

Jose immediately protecting his head with both of his hands as Lloyd hit him on the head with the wiping cloth. 

"I told you idiot! I'm not gonna tell you." 

"But-" 

"Will you take that drink or not?"

"I WILL TAKE IT!"

Then, Jose quickly took the glass of his favorite drink. Lloyd was being called on by an another customer so he moved his way to them and make their orders on smoothly. 

Even when the other male being busy now, the brunette's lips just pressed against the edge of the glass with his eyes staring at the distance. 

He couldn't stop thinking about that man. It was very sweet of him to pay something for the comedian. Well, Isaac did bought him more than just a drink but a stranger?

Jose had never been paid a drink by a stranger before. This is new. Is he getting famous or it's just him?

"This is getting weirder and weirder.." The brunette muttered to himself as he drank the beverage in silence.
