Chapter 205 - The Water's Bitter Trap

I was surprised when he returned with a red solo cup of water. I was expecting a water bottle or something, but he didn't seem to be fazed by it and he handed it to me with a grin. I glanced in the cup but sure enough, I saw clear liquid. It didn't smell like anything either, so I relaxed a little and smiled gratefully at him.

"Thank you," I told him as I brought the cup to my lips.

The taste was a little off… I crinkled my nose and stared back at the cup before looking up at him.

"It's non-filtered," he explained. "We don't have any filtered water right now. We just ran out."

I nodded; that did make sense. I took another sip; though, it tasted strange, it felt good in comparison to the beer. As I drank a bit more, I looked up at him and saw that he was watching me with a curious expression on his face.

"So, are you seeing anybody?" he asked.
