Opening Up

Liling could hear some shuffling and then the light under the door dimmed a bit, showing that someone had sat down, at that moment she knew she had no choice but to open the door.

''Are you alone?''

She asked; her right ear on the door to know if there were other people there.

''I'm alone '' Liling felt her heart sink, as though her hopes were smashed; she had actually wanted him to be there.

Slowly, she unlocked the door and Xin Yong stood up pushing it open, she walked into the room, her hands at akimbo.

Liling locked the door and turned to look at her friend, who was still staring at her and not speaking, as though shocked at her present state.

''I just drank a little, '' Liling said, as she noticed that the room was so messy.

Her statement made Xin Yong look towards the floor and she scanned the floor with her eyes, ''Twelve bottles is little. I see. ''
