You looked at him with an expression that says: Nani?
"What's with the face, I heard from your BFF that you liked sake.. and that you just hit your target.. ?", he grins knowingly while pouring the sake into the glasses.
"Uh, I do and I have, it's just that... I'm sorta working.. ?"
"It's your day off isn't it?"
"Well yeah but.."
"So here, then have a drink with me."
You take the tiny glass and sip it.
"Uh yeah, she shows me around.."
"And on public holidays you just bum around doing nothing?"
"I wouldn't call this nothing.. It takes a lot of planning to get this good at what I do"
"Oh yea, right... I heard stories about that…"
"Really?"
"Something about you being a meticulous sake-drinker."
You two laugh and talk about many things.
"Oh, drink up.. I have to get back to work."
THE END
The place : Eric's Deli (though it looks nothing like a deli.. more like a chinese restaurant) at hartamas shopping complex
The hook: Good, affordable Chinese food/ also Steamboat, at reasonable prices in comfortable surroundings. Hartamas is a convenient area for most!
The line: You can bring your own booze.. ANY booze
The sinker : NO CORKAGE!
More on "hitting the target": Join the Club, HERE!
Footnote: Only the parts about the TARGET, and those who have to work on public holidays were real. Other parts of the conversation, just happened in the over-active, sake-soaked mind of a monkey blogger .. namely me, Ciki.
