I opened the door and turned on the light in my room. "You sure you're okay with that?" She raised her eyebrow. We get inside and pleased her to take a seat.
"'I… responsible for that." She nodding her head, and we drink the wine. I start to cutting cheddar and followed gouda cheese. I don't like gouda cheese.
"Do you like cheese?" She asked.
I wiped my knife, then put it next to the bottle. "I'm not a fan. What about you?"
"Same as you. Not a fan, but I like it." Huh. Maybe she speaks the truth. I seat in front of her and pour the wine again to our empty glasses. "So… do you like wine?"
I shook my head. "No, I don't like wine." I said as I put a cheddar cheese inside my mouth. "My ex-girlfriend was… the reason I did this." Rose raised her eyebrows.
"You have a girlfriend before?! I thought you like my brother!" She picked the cracker on the top of the salami.
I shook my head. "No. Your brother was an asshole. Even your mayor told me to be careful with him." She nodding her head. I leaned my back on the chair. "I don't want to misunderstand my intention to say that, but…"
"I get it." She sips her wine. "You're not the only one who says that my brother is an asshole." She said as she sipping the wine. She taking a deep breath, then exhales it slowly from her mouth. "Everyone who lived in this town hates my brother because he always brings problem."
I give her my handkerchief. "I-I'm sorry if I brought that up."
She received my handkerchief and shook her head. "It's fine, Julia." She grabbed her glass and rubbed while looking outside the window. "When we first met at the bar, I know who you were." I followed her eyes. "The way you talked to me, you're walking, your style, and…"
She looks at her glass. "…your favorite motorcycle model. It reminds me of him." She wiped her tears with my handkerchief.
"I like BMW, Yamaha, and Kawasaki." She looks at me. "That motorcycle is BMW R60 year 1990. Does he like BMW? Also, I have CB 1500cc year 1995 and Kawasaki Ninja 2500cc 4tak custom color year 2010." Why do I feel offended?
We did not talk and were busy with our thoughts. We keep pouring the wine until we ran out of the red liquid. I rubbed my face and take out a bottle of sparkling water.
"I'm sorry. I don't… have an intention for…"
"I-It's fine." I rubbed my face and took a deep breath. "We both drinking a red wine without stopping." I pour the sparkling water for us to drink.
Rose looks at me and exhales. I don't have a topic for us to discuss. I took a deep breath and exhale trough my mouth slowly.
"W-where are you family now?" She looks at me. I don't want to talking about them. Although they were not here with me, Am I still become their child? Will they be proud of my achievement I achieve until today? She stared at me.
I put my glass on the table and pour some water. "My… family moved to another state." She nodding her head. "W-what about you? Did they live here?"
She shook her head and sighed. "No, they…"
*Knock… knock…
We looked at the door. I walk towards the door and peeping on peep hole. I saw Irene standing in front of my door with a paper bag in her hand. What the fuck she wants? I decide to open the door. "Hey." She hugged me, then kissed my cheek.
"What do you want?" I lower my voice as low as possible.
"Julia, who's there?" Irene pushed me and she walking to my room. She clenched her fist and glared at her.
Irene glared as I reached for her hand. "Who's that bitch, Julia?" I did not answer her question, and I massage my temple because I know where is going.
"Irene…" I hold her hand and took a deep breath. "She…" Rose packed her belonging and leave without a word. It should be for us, but now only an awkward situation for us.
"Tell me right now!" She slapped my face. A tear falls from her eyes and glared at me. "It's for revenge?!" Shit. We already broke up, but why is she completely denial about that? Now, I've got a slap in the face from my ex-girlfriend.
"Let's we talk tomorrow, okay? I…" She puts the paper bag on the table, then sits on my chair.
"You drink wine with that girl?!" I wiped my face roughly and took a deep breath. Oh, God. She makes me want to banging my head to the wall.
"Yes, I drink wine with her." I sit on the side of the bed, then take a deep breath. "Listen, Irene. We… already broke up, please!"
"Tell me, how can I get back to you!?" She looks me in the eye. I rubbed my face roughly. She fucking an unbelievably stubborn bitch. I walked towards the door and open it widely. "W-what do you mean?"
I took a deep breath and exhale my breath slowly from my mouth.
"I need rest, Irene. It supposed to be my vacation, and you ruined it." When you already drained your energy for what happened today. You have a guest and enjoy the moment with that person, but you've got this. Your ex came and slapped you in the face.
She did not move a single inch. I took a deep breath and face palmed. No, I shouldn't do that, but I'm already tired. It's just… Argh! Fine!
I packed her belongings, then dragged her to get out of my room. "I need time to rest, and if you did not give me that, I promise you will regret it."
I slammed the door in front of her face, then lock the door.
