Josh grinned, tracing his tongue along the edge of his teeth. The boyâs got standards. âWell, lucky for you, this is Scotland. You canât throw a stick in the air without hitting a ginger.â He watched the sickly liquor knock around in the kidâs shotglass, his hands quavering in his drunkenness. Josh drowned the rest of his own glass, hoping to catch up with Mickey before he passed out. Talking to a wasted person is only interesting if youâre wasted.
Mickey averted his eyes from the boys tongue, the twist of guilt already forming in his stomach for being so interested in such a simple motion. He wasnât gay, it was the alcohol. âGood shit, plus some of the girlâs I met round here are rough as hell. Love me a bitâa rough.â He snorted, tapping the bar for the mans gesture. Maybe if he just stayed drunk enough, heâd forget Ian. Maybe if he stayed drunk enough heâd forget his own last name and being what he was deep down wouldnât be such an issue. But then again, maybe something so deep in your blood gotten even be poisoned away with cheap liquor. âMickey Milkovch,â He offered the guy his spare hand as his other curled around the beer to his right.
