The bold but fleeting burning taste of the drink in Xiu's mouth was the only thing helping her stay awake. As much as she was fond of drinking, she really wasn't feeling the usual excitement. Perhaps because she wasn't feeling anything. Not even the drink in her hand could help her feel anything. And bloody hell! Why wasn't she feeling the surge of intoxication catching up to her senses yet?
"Hey, Cali! Here!"
Xiu was yawning in boredom when she saw Nora getting up from her seat to wave at someone. With a frown, she voiced out, "What are you doing?"
"I'm calling for someone to join us," answered Nora as if it was the most rational thing to do.
"Why?" retorted Xiu. It wasn't that she was being rude, it was just that whenever she and Nora went out drinking, nobody would be there except for these two. Besides, no matter how much Xiu liked drinking, she didn't like getting drunk before just anyone.
