I walked to The Loser when the sky turned dusk, waited for the part-timer until closing. Most of the time, she would share dinner she made in the bar. Camel did not come back. Looking at the stain in the corner, I started to have an illusion that it looked like an old map of Western Europe. I saw Camel crawling eastward on the stain, maybe he was looking for an oasis.
The bar has been quiet, I guess it’s because there aren’t many angels getting married these days. If you attended the wedding of an angel and the groom wasn't you, you know you've always wanted to find a gloomy place to have a drink and talk to someone, about some stories with her or without her.
The Loser is a gloomy place. Almost as grim as eyes of Tony Leung.
"Hey, I heard some rumors about you at school today." Said the part-timer.
"Oh."
"You're in a relationship with a girl from our school, right?"
I thought about it for a while. "Not quite sure." I said.
"Well, I don't know if it would hurt you, if I said," she thought for a while and said. "Many guys are pursuing that girl."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAOB2FiZLp
"Because, this is a cozy summer."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5dxqqvWoG
"But don't you mind?"20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9xKR2cZSu
"Didn’t you say that this was a rumor?"20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzOn16DbmW
"Well, that's what I heard."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5613oa8dsv
"There is a rumor that I have two ducks as pets."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwjGwh931
"Well, that's not surprising," she said with a serious look.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU87E35g9J
"Some people say that my left leg is prosthetic."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElzdH8ru9g
"This is not impossible," she said with a soft nod.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9kEX8dMWP
"Um…" I sighed. "Then you can take it as a fact."
"If you treat her better, she will ignore those admirers."
"We are not a couple." I denial.
"Really? Not?"
"Not."
"Oh, that’s too bad."
"Hmm, why?"
"… my ex is very close to her."
"Are you worried about them getting together?"
She nodded. "A little."
"Don't worry," I soothed her softly. "She is a good girl."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M2p7ulUGG
She punched me in the face.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccMjMVsCfy
"The bar won't be open tomorrow." She said when I sent her home.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRjrnYM0lf
"Uh, is this okay?"20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTblaFQWh86
"Well, Camel said it’s fine."
"So, I don’t have free dinner then."20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjD0m1hbgq
"Do you have a kitchen at home?"20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9xicLMttl
"I have. Doesn’t everyone have a kitchen in their home?"20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mLy5c8cZ
"Then I'll go to your house and make dinner."
"It’s not needed." I said. "It doesn't matter if I eat alone."
"I eat alone, too." She looked a little tired.
"Hmm..." I said. "But do you know my home?"
"How do I know? Come and take me."
"Well, that's fine." I said.
"That's it." Without saying anything else, she walked into her house.
