Finding Home (Phan) (Without Trilogy Part II)

5

Just a water, please. 

Easy, here you go. 

Margarita on the rocks?

Jude, can you take that? Coming right up sir.
Anyone else?

Uh...I don't know wine, so I'll say a Shirley Temple?

Of course you don't. Innocent little Phil. What're
you doing in a rough and tumble place like this?

Well, first of all, you forgot to mention this was a
gay bar, and second, I'm making sure you're not
being too lax at your job. And that includes flirting.

Hey, it's part of the job. Also, he was cute.

Which one?

Don't be jealous.

Why would I be jealous?

Because your cheeks are red and you're 
stammering. Here's your drink.

Thanks. And, anyway, I'm not jealous.

The fact that you're defending yourself makes
it a little obvious you are. Aw, don't look at me like
that. It's cute.

Ah! Don't kiss my cheek. God knows how many other
guys you've made out with on break. 

Just one. But it was a girl, actually. Go on, dance.
Meet someone. Have fun. The Queens are coming
later; this is true gay culture.

Yeah, sure.

Wait, Phil!

Huh?

You forgot to pay. 

Right.

Thanks. 

Is it that busy every night?

Mm, weekends and Fridays, somewhat, and
Queen nights, always. Always always. 

Jesus, you're stumbling. Don't tell me you had some
to drink too?

Joseph offered me a shot. Or two. And a ride. But I think
he was trying to kill me so I said no. 

It's not funny! Jesus, who is this Joseph anyway?

No idea. He wasn't that cute, anyway. Not cuter than you.

Thanks?

Welc. 

Fuck! Stop falling!

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

No?

What about me? W'ld you kiss me?

You're really annoying when you're drunk, you know that?
I mean, you're awful anyway, insufferable really, but it
just completely triples with the alcohol. 

Hey, Phil.

What now?

True or false.

True. Wait, what?

True or false, you would kiss me.

Not now, I wouldn't, You smell like vomit and vodka.

Bar BO. True or false, you were jealous.

No. False.

Yes you were! Don't lie to me!

Dan, we're literally walking through throngs of people
right now. You have to walk in a straight line.

Why walk straight when you aren't straight?

Because politeness? C'mon, into the house. 
Before someone tries to drug you 
again. 

So you were jealous?

No, you're drunk.

And you're cu...

Dan? Dan! 

...

Fucking A.
