"Y U...?"

Chapter 14

     'We've been here for about 15 minutes now, I think. I already have my  cold glass of whiskey in my hand and sipping it slowly to savour its spicy and woody taste in my tongue. I feel the burning liquid in the back of my throat as I swallow it. As I put down my glass, the giggling  of the girls in my left side was heard and their flirting gazes upon me as I look their way unintentionally. I take back my sight from them and focus to my set of friends.

     We occupied a table just enough for us not too far from the counter area of the bar. I look at the two empty chairs in front of me.

     "Where's your cousin? I thought you will be picking them up?" I asked Joss. Sipping again on my glass not minding the girls that keeps throwing flirty glances at me.

     "He changed mind the last minute after I call him. He said something comes up but they will be here soon." He said but I noticed that he keeps looking at his watch on his wrist.

     "Then why are you look so uneasy?" Man was quick. He asked the same question I had in mind.

     "Are you afraid that your girlfriend would be here and will caught you flirting with other girls?" It was Boss with his filthy mouth.

     But the words that came from Joss's mouth suddenly made me snapped.

     "No and I don't have a girlfriend right now. But... I'm interested with someone." He answered with a smile.

     It's not new for me knowing him not sticking within a relationship without going to another one. That's his nature.

     "Who is it? Do we know her?" Man asked again. I just sit there comfortably listening to their conversation over someone. Well, I'm not interested though.

     But his next answer intrigued me completely.

     "It's not her... it's him." Joss stated before grabbing another bottle of liquor then pour it in his empty glass and swirl the ice in it. I saw him smiling through his glass as if he's dreaming.

     "Him?!" I heard Boss and Man said in union in a loud voice 'cause the music starts to ring our eardrums. I raised my brows really high. Hearing Joss telling us about "him".

     That's when we heard someone calling from afar. Then I saw someone heading towards our direction when Joss acknowledged him.

     "Hey, Phi!" A boy about 174 cm. in height pushing away the crowd don't care if he bumps someone just to make a way for them pulling someone's hand from behind.

     "Hi, guys! I'm Khao." Once he steps forward he then shakehands each every one of us.

     Boss, Man, Luke and Joss got stuck in their places. Well, so do I. As we stood there still looking at the other boy behind Khao who's busy with his phone. Unaware that all of us in this table were staring at him admiringly. And I think not just us but both boys and girls around stealing glances at him.

      A cute image in front of us, wearing a light green crew-neck sweater with cute design on it paired by black pants and white canvas still oblivion on his surroundings.

     "H-Hi, Win. It's nice to see you again." It was Joss who greet him first and offers his hand for a handshake. He seemed so nervous while doing that. But that's not my concern. The way he looks at  him, the one I'm looking forward to agree to be with me... I mean to go out with me rather.

     Win...

     So that's his name.

     I look at him but I think he didn't noticed me yet. I look at Joss too with his hand still hanging in the air, waiting. But Win just stare. Oh my! Here he goes again with his cheeky attitude. I want to laugh at the sight, looking at Joss's disappointing face. But I didn't do that. He's my friend anyway. Maybe later...

     "This is Win, my bestfriend." His good friend Khao introduced him coz I think he didn't bother to introduce himself to us.

     I held his hand swiftly and felt his soft palm against mine. Maybe I'm being a bit rude for stealing his warm hand from Joss that are now looking at us, confused and... worried?

     "It's nice finally knowing you... Win." He stiffens once his gaze averted at me. I smirk as I look into his widened eyes, shocked that I was facing him at this moment. Maybe he's not expecting me to be in the same place as him. Me neither  expecting this too to happen this fast. But I'm too happy that I don't need to suffer to look for him everywhere. 'You already know why.'

     "You again?!" That's what he says to me. What am I expecting from him? After what I did last time, do I really deserved to be greeted with a simple "Hi"? Nah!

     "Is that how you greet someone that you just meet the first time?" I asks amused by his cute mad face. I really can't get enough of his cuteness. I'm wondering if he even knows how to smile, even just a little? I want to see it.

     "Really, first time? You stealer!" He accused me already. How cute!

     Our friends are now furrowing their brows, confused by the way we talk to each other.

     "What stealer? Who? Are you guys know each other already?" Khao asks us.

     "YES!" "NO!" Win and I said in unison still my eyes on him not leaving his beautiful face and his warm soft hand.

     "Oh well, yeah I'm the stealer... A heart - stealer." I said it while looking into his eyes then I gave him a wink that makes him more annoyed.

     It's gonna be a long and interesting night for us. Or I must say for me...
