Lee gave her a mere glimpse. “Well….. here….. I guess it’s better than being out there.” What am I saying….? At least I didn’t give it away, but did I?
His head swam like crazy, an eddy of confusing thoughts clogging his mind. Don’t tell me she’ll kick me out…
Fiona chuckled "I guess it is," She looked away quietly and then turned back "Do you want something to drink? I'll buy."
Her words echoed in her mind— I’ll buy…. “Sure… I guess I’ll have whiskey on the rocks….” Ugh… I need to get some sleep somewhere….. staying up all night and drinking isn’t ideal for anyone, let alone a person like myself…
Fiona nodded and yelled to the bartender "Two whiskey on the rocks please," She turned back to the guy and smiled "This is actually my third drink tonight, so sorry if I get a little tipsy."
Once Ace had walked onto the stage they started to sing, their enchanting voice falling over the crowd. "Do I look lonely? I see the shadows on my face, people have told me. I don't look the same. Maybe I've lost weight, I'm playing hooky. With the best of best, put my heart chest so that you can see it too."
Kat looked up to watch the singer. They were good. The words echoed in her mind and she remembered why she was here.
He flashed an awkward grin. “That’s fine— I’d expect nothing less in a place like this.” Tipsy…. Is she drunk already? She seeemed perfectly fine from what he could see. Oh well… it’s a nightclub. What else is there to expect?
"I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall. The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do I live?" Ace took a deep breath before belting out the next words. "The death of a bachelor oh Letting the waterfall The death of a bachelor Oh oh Seems so fitting for Happily ever after (woo) How could I ask for more? A lifetime of laughter At the expense of the death of a bachelor."
Fiona grinned as the bartender brought their drinks over, she immediately grabbed hers and took a drink, waiting for the alcohol to take effect as she listened to the singers familiar words.
Lee carefully took his own drink and glared at her. She wants to escape this world as much as I do… He listened to the singer as intently as she did, and he began to bob along to them. Just relax… this isn’t a place to be uptight about anything.
Fiona sighed as her mind went numb, it was a nice feeling and helped her listen to the words of the song. she knew the words of the song well and she started to sing the next words in her head I'm cutting my mind off
Feels like my heart is going to burst. Alone at a table for two and I just wanna be served, And when you think of me am I the best you've ever had?
Lee finished off his drink relatively quick, and he wiped his chin with his wrist. It’s been too long since I’ve had any kind of whiskey…. Dad always used to drink it…. twice ever week…. An uncontrolled tear ran down his face. That dumbass drought didn’t have to wipe us out…. It was no use ranting about it— there was nothing he could do to go back.
Fiona glanced over at the guy and was surprised to find a tear on his face "Hey, what's wrong…Uh, whatever your name is.." she finished off her drink in two gulps and waits for his answer.
Lee found his eyes stinging as he blinked. “It’s nothing you would ever understand.” I bet everyone in this place works somewhere in this darn city… He wiped his tear away and tried to recover the best he could. “I mean— It’s personal.”
"oh, ok well if you ever need to rant or tell anybody anything i'm here." Fiona looked at the guy and gave him a tight smile "Also, my name is Fiona."
“Nice to meet you…. er… Fiona.” He grinned too, but it didn’t last long. “I’m Lee…” A random flashback came striking his mind like brick to glass, and a small memory replayed in his head— it was when he first moved into a house across the road from thier only neighbors from miles around. He walked up to a young, dusty, blond-haired kid. Hi… I’m Kamon… and you must be our new neighbor! He himself responded happily. I’m Lee. It’s nice to meet you!…….
He shook his head. It was way too long since he introduced himself to anyone.
Fiona smiled, "Nice to meet you Lee," she turned on her seat to face him and pushed her empty glass back and forth between her hands.
Unsure what else to say, he stayed more on the quiet side for a bit before finally saying, “….Thanks for paying for the drink. I really appreciate it—“ When people pay out of their own courtesy rather than me asking— “…a lot.”
"No problem! You looked like you could use a drink anyways.." Fiona smiled and looked up at Lee.
“Every one could use a drink,” He uttered, shuffling around with his money in his pocket. “I would get another…. but… It’s not worth it.” I don’t want her to know. I don’t want anyone to know.
"I can if you want…I kinda want another anyways." Fiona pulled out her wallet and grabbed a few bills, she looked at Lee and waited to see if he wanted another one.
"All drinks on me!" Miloh interrupted the two, paying the bartender.
“I may as well have another…” Lee uttered. There’s nothing wrong with revisiting, right? Nothing wrong from running away from the real world. He rested his chin in his hands and sighed. Kamon, though… where are you?
Fiona grinned and yelled to the guy who had just paid the bartender "Thanks! you're awesome!"
(Whoa)
Lee measely waved to him. “Thank you….” He grabbed his second whiskey on the rocks and cupped the glass in both of his hands. I’m unsure if I’m even in the right place… I can guarantee it won’t be long before they kick me out, though.
Fiona smiled and ordered her fourth whiskey on the rocks, she grinned and downed half of the glass, not even batting an eye as she did.
He glanced over at her. She really must be getting into it…. It was her fourth drink, after all. But oh well….This one’s for you, Kamon, wherever you are. He drank it with a sense of greed. I’ll try not to get carried away… but if I do, I’m sorry.
Fiona looked at Lee and smiled "You want to play a game of cards or something Lee? I'm kinda bored."
“I’ll play if you have a deck ready to go.” Like I have the money to afford it… He finished off his drink and slid the glass away from him. “Unfortunately, I don’t play Poker.” Not only do I not gamble, I was never taught, oddly enough….
(K i gtg for now, i'll be back in a few hours)
Fiona pulled a deck of cards from her pocket "I know it's random, but I always keep a deck with me, and we can play cribbage if you know how."
