Snippet #2416384

"So you live near by, too." Amelia said as she stirred her drink with her straw as she stared at it for a second. She was still listening, of course, but just thinking and listening at the same time. Yes, she was thinking about work again. She wondered how much trouble she would get in from her boss if she showed up late tomorrow...or how much trouble she would get in if she called in "sick". She knows she'll get a good scolding either way. Her boss didn't even know every week day when she came home from work she headed straight to the little bar down from her apartment. She shook her head to clear her thoughts when Will asked her a question.

"Uh... well, I wrote a small book called The Nameless Monster but it's a stupid little book... Not that big.." She said as if she didn't care as she started to get annoyed with that "cute little umbrella" blocking her view of everything when she took a sip of the beer. She took the umbrella out gently and closed the little umbrella with the little slide thing someone could use to close the umbrella on the stick. She set it down on a napkin beside her. She wondered if she could take it home...

Just then, she heard the door open and she turned her head to see who it was. A man and a woman walked in this time. The man didn't really look like he wanted to be there, but whatever. Once again, who was Amelia to judge?

Amelia began humming to a familiar song that started playing. She took a another sip of her beer and was about to start up a new topic of conversation with Will when she was interrupted by the loud voices over where a bunch of kids were playing pool. They weren't exactly kids, but they sure acted like them. Amelia stopped humming the song and stared up at them.

"How annoying..." She said in a lower tone as she continued watching them fool around. She couldn't exactly blame them though. Amelia probably acted like that with all her friends whenever she was drunk with them at a bar. Although, that was eight years ago and a different bar. A more popular bar with loads of people coming in every five minutes. Everyone was loud at that bar, so the staff couldn't really come over and blame them on being too loud when a bunch of other groups of people were being loud as well.

She continued watching them. A girl reached up and kissed one boy on the cheek...for no particular reason. Well, not that Amelia knew. She watched as Jack came over to the group and told them to cool down and be a little quieter. The one girl rolled her eyes and they huffed and agreed eventually. It probably wasn't going to cut it though. Telling a bunch of drunk teenagers to stop partying too loudly? No. Amelia shook her head as she looked back at Will. She rubber her already aching forehead from the alcohol that was slowly started to make her a little tipsy. "Are you single?" She asked out of the blue. What the hell was that? She thought as she complained mentally to herself. "I'm sorry...It's just the booze." She apologized soon after as she took another sip of her beer.
