We went out after work today, I've just arrived home, slightly tipsy and very relaxed. We consists of me, Him and our mate. The 3 best friends. Finished work later than usual and my alcholic mate suggest to share a bottle of wine. Normally I would have said no, I don't do drinkin on school nites...however, he was coming along. Hence I said yes. Surprise!
It remined me about before. All of us going out after work. Him and I would finish work earlier than the others. "Should we just go to a pub whilst waiting?" he'd ask. I'd say yes. Surprise.
Just us. Sitting there, chatting and sharing a bottle of wine or drinking beer..Then the others would finsih at 6 pm..we never met up with them until after 7. We were in no rush. Or at least I wasn't. No one knew about anything. Hell, we didn't even know at that point. But we got questions. "Where have you two been?" "How come you two arrive so late?"
We'd just smile, he'd look at me and his eyes would say "wine?". Mine'd say "yes". Then he'd come back with wine and a plate of nibbles for us to share. Sweet.
"Look, they even share food", Sweet.
That was before though. We still do things together just us. But there is nothing in it. We are just mates. Best mates. Sweet.
I miss us. We are three now. I like us. I like the three of us too. It's just that fact that it's wine and nothing more now. Before it was more...It was just us! But still more.
