"As long as I don't fall in Love..." // OxO // Romance // OPEN

Winter smirked into his drink. "Mm." Was his only response.

Astra rolled her eyes and focused her attention on the bartender. She batted her eyes at him and said, "You wouldn't leave a pretty lady like me to fend for myself, right?" (Idkifyouwantedtoplaythebartenderbutifyoudidn'tjustsaythatheagreedwithAstra)

Winter snorted.
The bartender gave her a smile. "Of course not."
(There XD)

(Thank you XD)

She turned to Winter. "See?! He's a decent guy!" She shook her head. "And to think that you misjudged him. Tch."

(no problem)

Winter shrugged. "Eh."

"You're jealous." She giggled. Astra knew he probably didn't care, but she just loved to get a rise out of him.

Winter rolled his eyes. "Mm. Sure." He replied.

"Look at you!" She poked his cheek. "You're all flushed." She was lying of course. Astra still wanted to know how he would react

Winter raised an eyebrow. "No, I'm not." He replied.

She sighed, her mood suddenly changing. "You're right. You're not." She rested her head on the counter.

He looked confused. "Oookay."

Astra sighed loudly. "You know, Winter. You're one odd guy." She looked up and finished her third bottle. "I mean, just today, you were speaking in some foreign language," her words were slurred together

"It's called Irish, Leanbh." He replied with an eye roll. "It's not foreign."

"Lean- what?" She looked up at him. "What does that mean?"

"Child." He replied, taking a sip of his drink.

She slammed her drink down on the table. "I AM NOT A CHILD!" She yelled.

He jumped. "Uhm…okaaay." he said slowly. "It's not an insult."

"Not a child…" she muttered, glaring at her bottle.

He nodded. "I know."

"Good!" She snapped at him, her eyebrows furrowed. "Always remember that."

(also I might've already asked, but what time zone are you in?)

He chuckled softly, looking down at his drink.

(Alaska timezone, though I'm moving to Nebraska soon. You?)

(Oh, I'm in Washington so that makes me about an hour ahead of you lol)

"Did you drink all of it?"

(lol cool)

"Nope." He replied, looking back at her.

"Drink!" She laughed, suddenly happy again. "I'll have another," she told the bartender, thanking him when he gave it to her.

Winter shook his head. "No, I'm good." Don't want to get drunk.

She took his bottle away from him. "Fine. I'll drink whatever you don't."

He raised an eyebrow. "Okay then." He said slowly.

She eventually finished both of the drinks. Somehow managing to look somewhat normal, she set down the money to pay for the drinks and turned to Winter. "Wasn't that fun?"

Winter shook his head. "You stole my drink." He replied.

She shrugged. "You didn't seem to want it anymore."
