My uncle, My mate
Was it just about the rejection or the fact that she felt something was going on between Ronald and I?
As I sat there, lost in thought, the sound of the door creaking open broke the spell. I turned to see my said uncle, Ronald, stumble into the kitchen. His eyes were glassy, his hair disheveled, and his smile lopsided. He was drunk, and I could tell it was going to be one of those nights I never thought I'd see. His cheeks were a painted shade of red that made him look funny, yet cute.
I didn't say a word, hoping he'd just grab a glass of water and stumble off to bed. But Ronald had other plans. He ambled over to the counter, his eyes locking onto mine with an unnerving intensity.
