Chapter:-6

Adom can’t do anything but look down at where beer has spilled all over his white dress shirt. He almost wants to say something to the guy, can feel his temper rise but in the next second he just huffs out a laugh. He’s so upset that it’s all he can do. Today just isn’t his day.  

“Woah buddy, I think you’ve had enough for now,” The guy who was being hugged earlier says, stepping in between Adom and his drunk friend. He slants his back towards Adom so he can’t see his face but notices how he has pushed his entire group of friends a little further away so they aren’t so close to Adom now. He’s not sure if it was deliberate but as long as no one is bumping into him anymore he’ll take it.  

Adom grabs a few square napkins from the countertop and dabs them on his chest so he won’t feel sticky at least. He tips his beer back and finishes it in one big gulp. He’s really starting to feel drunk now. His head is woozy and he can’t keep his thoughts straight.  

“Sorry about that, my friend here is celebrating so he’s a little excited” A voice speaks up from his right. Adom has to do a double take because he didn’t think that the statement was directed towards him. He dumbly points to himself and watches as the man beside him breaks into a small laugh. He nods at Adom then looks down at the now-empty beer bottle in Adom hands. He signals the bartender and points to Adom beer when he catches his eye.  

“Oh no, I'm done for the night” Adom says, holding up both of his hands.  

The man just looks at him with a smile, brows furrowed. “Who said it was for you?” He replies, mirth evident in his voice. Adom balks, his ears burning in embarrassment. He looks down, fiddling with the beer in his hands as he tries to stop blushing. He can’t believe the nerve of this guy, teasing him when they don’t even know each other. The guy just laughs from beside him; the bartender brings the beer to him and he taps Adom arm. “I was just joking; it is for you. Consider it an apology for both me and my friend’s behavior tonight.”  

Adom side-eyes the beer, he really shouldn’t drink another one but he can’t just let this man think he’s a lightweight. He grabs the beer out of the other guy’s hand and chugs the whole bottle, wiping off the few drops left over on his chin with the back of his hand. He huffs afterwards, leaning over into the guy’s surprised face as he says “You’re not forgiven,”
