The 13th Room...
The 13th Room…
13 is an UnLucky Number – For most of you – But for Jack and Daniel, here is when they got lucky.
Jack and Daniel were supposed to leave the country for furthering their prospects in life, so their friends decided to give them a big send off! And thus arrived Johnny and Walker. Johnny was Daniel’s Brother and Walker his cousin. Walker walked in with his girl Absinthe.
They decided to meet at The 13th Room one late evening. Though the room was as big as the floor, it was jam packed with almost no available space. But everyone knew that Jack and Daniel could not be denied, so off they went and were welcomed like princes, escorted to their favorite place right next to the drunk Germans. Stars illuminated the room and sky was the roof! J & D decided to get drunk as this would be their last night out in a long long time to come. Johnny joined them while Walker politely declined the offer under the glaring eyes of Absinthe.
They had just started when Walker got a call from a friend of his who wanted to be a part of the company and 5 minutes later in walked Bloody Mary with her intoxicating companion Sherry. Jack, with his long hair, short height, cute face and mysterious eyes, gave a casual glance at Mary and their eyes met. The world seemed to stop for the two, the glass of alcohol glued to Jacks lips as his hot breath formed vapors on the surface, rings of smoke rose from the smoldering cigarette in Mary’s hand as it burnt it’s way towards not just the end but also her heart.
While Jack and Mary had their moment and Walker and Absinthe had theirs, Johnny got drunk. Daniel was mesmerized by the beauty that sat across the table. The perfect lips and that look in the eye, the shadow of the falling hair and that smile that meant more than what met the eye. Our Jack, torn between the decision of leaving the country and following his heart, got drunk and left with a promise to meet again. Daniel, already in love, went home with the rest.
While Walker and Absinthe cuddled up in a corner, Johnny and Mary passed out in the other room. Daniel, as always, could not sleep after one too many a shots and sat thinking about Sherry. And though she slept as soundly as the others, he knew that she knew that he was watching her. He sat there the whole night thinking about her. Morning came, they all left, she gave him a hug promising she would meet him again that evening. But he knew and so did she ... The Evening Never Came
He Left the country after a few days and now Jack is leaving as well. Wonder if they would get together again, at The 13th Room, and get Lucky?
P.S. This one is after a high demand from a couple of close friends. Please beer with me if none of this makes any sense at all.
