Chapter 140: Thank you
The hours went by and so did the food. Jules was very adept with her one usable arm. Though weak to the point of struggling to hold a spoon, she took her time eating and would leverage the long handles of the grill to heat her meat. When necessary, Matty would help her out, which wasn’t often and only when she politely asked for it.
All that remained was the alcohol in their systems.
William’s relationship with Marta had developed into a silent friendship. Whenever they saw something weird, they would exchange looks and funny faces. No words or jokes were necessary, and since Marta was naturally shy, he didn’t expect any more out of her either.
William expected wrong.
He had never seen Marta drunk, but that did not make up for Marta’s current condition. The blonde was shitfaced drunk and singing her heart out. According to Kazi, it was Poland’s national anthem. Her armour gone and wearing a white drawstring jumpsuit, Marta jumped on the table, singing and screaming, Jules giggled and hit the table to the beat. Then there was Kazi, who said he was going to go outside and let them calm down on their own.
That left William with...
"So..."
Matty. Yeah, William was left with the scowling Matty. A bit tipsy, his brows were softer than normal. ’If I can’t talk to him now, then I probably won’t ever.’
"You and Jules, how did you meet?" William asked.
"Gate 1."
...progress, right?
