    The grey filtered interior of the bathroom added with the soft light from the moon reflecting on the steady water casted a soft glow on your face, me having a warm relaxing soak in the bathtub, and you.. I leaned forward, my wrists hooking on the edge of the tub, water dripping from my arm hanging outside the tub.

    I purposely let the silence between us extend for a long time, enjoying the way you shifted and fidgeted uncomfortably under my gaze, my eyes scanned your clothed body until they stopped at the engagement ring on your finger. For some unknown reason, I felt jealous, my ring should've been on your finger not someone else's, my expression however remained calm.

    I blame myself, we've been each other's crush since college years, who thought six years later you'll stand before me again with an engagement ring. I knew you liked me but I never acknowledged it, it was useless anyway.

    "So.." I broke the silence, "who's the lucky guy?" I asked bluntly. "I wasn't expecting you to attend my house party, and now you took care of my drunken self. Not like you had a choice." I stated flatly, knowing full that my drunk drama earlier was fake.
