Ivan definitely knew this place - living above a bar had it's advantages. Alex probably would have spent too much money in a place like this. Though the wine guy down the road knew her name and what she liked so it was kinda the same.
And since Bas she hadn't really wanted to go out and meet a guy. It wasn't that Bas was a great lover, or he was some sort of love interest. It was the ultimate situation it had put her in. He was quiet - he was the type of guy that Alex was drawn to. Quiet in the mind not of the voice. God Bas could talk some shit sometimes. And Alex hadn't minded it. It had been a good ride. He had been too.
Alex smiled at the bartender. "I'll have the same."
It had been a while since she'd had tequila. "To forgetting today."
First shot went down with a tight burn and Alex tapped the bar for two more rounds. If you were going to do tequila you had to do it right. College had taught her one thing. You didn't drink anything else after tequila, you just kept on drinking it until you were done, mixing made you puke.
Alex laughed "I've not done this since college."
It was a different time. She had gone to the states to get away from things. Came back to a whole new life. Now, she was meeting with Atharim.
She pushed the thoughts away and downed the second shot. And then the third. She was feeling it. Feeling the slight buzz and ordered a fourth. There was no music playing and that was a shame, so Alex went over to the juke box and punched in a few songs.
Unfortunately she'd hit the wrong number and what was supposed to be a up beat dance song turned into a slow sappy song. Alex sighed and shrugged. Make the best of it. she thought and waltzed over to Ivan and smiled more at him. He'd been watching her anyway. She held out her hand. "Let's dance."
