Christopherrr~
Will you come up now?

Me
Yeah wait I need to pay
Will be there in a sec

"Could I have another glass of this and I'd like to pay, please", I informed the bartender and looked for my money. "Already?", Ally asked confused. "Yeah sorry, Chan is clingy" "Your boyfriend, right? I can't believe you're dating a kpop idol!", Lucas sang loudly. What the heck?! How much did they drink while I was texting?! "Uhm yeah, can you please keep this to yourself and not tell everyone in Auckland. We actually want to keep our job", I warned him, payed the bartender and grabbed the cocktail. Lucas showed me the o.k. gesture and I hoped he meant it. "Will you be fine alone, Ally?" "She's not alone! I'm still here!", Lucas barged in and Ally smiled amused. "I'll be okay. I was worried before but not anymore. Join your possessive boyfriend, honey". I grinned and left the bar.

Alison's POV

"Can you bring us a few shots, please?", Lucas slurred and grinned. "Let's play a game, yeah? We drink and the one that puts the empty glass down again first gets to ask a question or can make the other one do a task!" "Yeah alright! But be warned: I'm fast!", I grinned and wrapped my fingers around my glass ready for the fight. "Three, two, one!", he yelled and I drank as fast as I could. Seconds before him I banged my glass onto the counter and shot my question. "Favourite kind of ice cream?" "Boring. It's chocolate!" He counted down again but this time it was him that finished his glass earlier. "Your Dad's first name! I'm sorry I can't remember it ahhh", he whined. "Jian! Haha no problem. It's been a long time". He won again and yelled: "When had you developed a crush on me?" "End of grade 7!" "Woah that's quite some time that passed until I noticed it..." "Yeah but nevermind!" I felt the alcohol had thrilled me and when I won the next round my mouth spit out the question that had been burning inside me for years. "Did you really love me?" Realising what I just said I pressed my hand onto my mouth. Lucas got quiet. "Alison..." "The break-up seemed to be so easy and casual for you...I was crying for weeks but I never saw you care about it at all..." "I did care! I just wanted to look strong so you wouldn't feel guilty about the break-up...After all it was you who broke up with me..." "Yeah, because I couldn't bear a long-distance relationship! I loved you!" "I do too..." "You mean you did!" "No, I do..." Slowly he leaned in closer and looked right into my eyes. "What do you mean..." Without an answer he pulled me towards him and pressed his lips onto mine. I heard a dull sound and saw someone running away. Oh no no no no no! Furiously, I pushed Lucas back and he crashed against a bar stool. "What the fuck!! Lucas, you can't just kiss me! I don't love you anymore! Get lost!" I jumped up and ran to the lobby. Jisung! He saw it! Fuck, where is he?! I looked around close to tears. Fuck I've screwed up so badly! Shit!
