"Beer please." a man said to me, I gave him one. Wait this guy is familiar. Oh yeah, he was my friend, or... My acquaintance... Or just my classmate back in college.
I was surprised when he drink the beer in a matter of seconds. I was fixing the bottles when he started talking to me. "My boyfriend broke up with me!" he said and started laughing, which kind of scared me.
I keep an eye on him, because something might happen to him, then he ask for another bottle. Of course I gave him one. I just hope that this guy would pay for it.
I got busy because there's a lot of orders, he was quiet, staring in space, drinking his beer.
After a while I was done and clean my hands. I almost had a heart attack when he shouted asking me. "Did you know why he broke up with me!?"
I stare at him like he grew two heads. Then again he started laughing, I turned my back placing the towel on top of the table and I heard cries.
I look back at him, I saw tears streaming down his face, he was wiping his face with the back of his hands but he didn't stop crying. I am kind of worried, but I shrugged it off. Just a normal break up, there's a lot of customers like him.
I went to the bathroom, when I got back I saw him sleeping. I walk towards him, and tap his shoulders, I guess he isn't waking up anytime soon. But he stir a little, so I put his arm around my shoulder, helping myself carry him.
He was mumbling, I am not suprised. But what shocked me is that he grab my shirt and kissed me!
What the hell? I was frozen, but then he stopped, and he look down. He put his hands on his mouth. Oh no!
It was too late, I didn't get the chance to move away immediately, he vomited on my shirt and pass out. I don't know if I should be worried or mad.
