Eddie the Worrier

The three of you head over to a table as Eddie orders drinks. As you sit down, you say "So Mike, you still looking for a band?"

"Yeah." Mike shrugs. "Something should come up."

"Hopefully. What about you Burny? How's the electrician life going?"

Burny gives you a similar shrug. "Can't complain. Everyone wants the lights to stay on."

"And what about Daddy's golden child?" Mike asks.

After a roll of the eyes, you say "Good enough I guess."

That's when Eddie comes back with the drinks, doing his best not to spill any beer. After placing the drinks down, you each grab one, before Mike raises his glass. "To Oscar, and his new love... uhhh..."

"Adela." You state.

"Cheers." The four of you toast before taking generous sips from your glasses. You then glance at Eddie, who looks nervous. Whilst this wasn't unusual for your favorite introvert, you fear he might be nervous about Adela's 'secret'. You, however, couldn't care less. You know all three of them would jump at the chance to date a pornstar.

"So what else you been up to Eddie?" Burny asks.

"Not much. Same old same old."

His voice has a hint of anxiety, but Burny blows it off to being the public setting. The four of you proceed to finish your beers, to which Mike says "Who feels like a game of pool?"

"I'll go for a game, but then I gotta call it a night." You say. "Got work tomorrow."

"Lightweight." Mike sneers.

"Yeah, you didn't even buy us a round Oscar." Burny says.

"Next time."

The game of pool goes rather quick, with Mike running circles around you. You say your goodbyes before heading off back home and retiring to bed.
