Talking with My Landlord in the Dark

I went to the movie theater three days in a row. I watched Jimpa, whose theme was LGBTQ+ or something like that. Actually, I found it very boring. I am not interested in topics about sexual minorities. After that, I visited the bar Vlaar and then came back home to have dinner. My housemate was there, so I quickly ate a tortilla wrap, and then I went out again and visited the bar My Way. Ruud’s girlfriend, Shanna, hugged me from behind. The atmosphere was lively because the village was holding an event. I saw a shocking and funny scene. My favorite bartender, Louisa, received a tip from a customer. Then she suddenly lifted up her T-shirt and tucked the banknote into her cleavage, inside her sports bra. I could not stop laughing. I had a hot sandwich. When I came back home around 10 pm, my landlord, Jan, talked to me. I went to my room to get the rent money and handed it to him. We started chatting in the dining room. The room gradually became darker, and in the end, it was completely dark with no lights on. It was strange, but I talked too much because I was drunk. While I was talking with him, I kept eating the grapes that Jan gave me. He said, “Oh, you eat a lot.” I replied, “When I get drunk, I eat too much.” After that, I dove into bed.
