"Ah , Tatiana, could we please not do this ?" , Alex whined as the girl playfully tugged him into the bar . He was actually enjoying it , and pretended to resist , and after a bit , he was seated next to Aiden in the bar . "Alright ! " , Tatiana cheered , taking the seat right of Aiden ,"I've been craving a drink for ages !" , she bursted into a fit of laughter .

Alex couldn't help but smirk at her from over Aiden's shoulder , "How long would ages be ? You don't even look like you're legal to drink yet , are you ?" Aiden sighed ,"Oh, come on, I'm pretty sure Tati's old enough to drink ." Alex smirked again .The bartender smiled at the group . Alex groaned , removing his jacket . Tatiana stared at him , adoring his black waistcoat . She was disturbed by a poke to her shoulder from Aiden . "J-e-a-l-o-u-s ." , she whispered to him . Aiden rolled his eyes at Alex .

"Alright , so what'll it be ?" , the bartender , Daniel asked . Tatiana beamed at him , " Strawberry margarita . Not that slushy crap , the actual drink . Please and thankies !" Aiden sighed at the sound of her request , "You make it sound like it's the first time you've ordered a drink..." Tatiana pouted ,"You're so evil sometimes ." Aiden smiled , "But that's all part of my charm , right ?" Alex groaned . He hated when they got flirty like this . "Aiden ,could you hurry the Hell up and order yours ? " , Aiden turned to Daniel ,"Tequila shots . Keep em' comin'." he patted the counter with his hand . Alex groaned again . Aiden turned to him as the bartender poured his drink , "Could you stop groaning ? You're kinda sorta killing the mood..." Alex glared at him ," Groan . " , he muttered flatly . " Tatiana took a sip of her drink ,"I love how the salt just dissolves in my mouth . No , really Al . What're you thirsty for ?"

Alex glanced heavenward , "I'd kill for some black coffee about now . " Aiden set down his glass with a clank , "We're in a bar ,not a cafe . Now quit bitching and order something alcoholic . " Alex kept stared slightly to the left , ignoring Aiden's comment ,"The blackest and boldest you could find.."

Tatiana's smile faded , "Well , wel could grab coffee after this , right , Aiden?" Alex smiled at this slightly . "Meh . " , Aiden muttered , asking for another shot . Alex ignored this , staring at the array of drinks on the wall , "Yeah ,but Faye closes down the cafe way before this time .." This caught Aiden's attention ,"A ha , amaziiiing discovery , " , he raised his glass ,"Alex will only drink if it's Faye's coffee , what a perr - verrt ." Alex groaned , "Well they only serve it best . They got the boldest.." Tatiana gazed at him with sympathy , wishing she could reveal her secret .

"Well ? What'll it be ?" , Daniel asked , leaning on the counter . Alex sighed , "Ah , what the Hell . Vodka . Cry and straight . " Daniel gave him a puzzled look , "Ermm..Excuse me..? " Alex repeated himself , "You're excused . Dry . Straight . V-O-D-K-A . " Aiden turned to him after asking for another shot , "Isn't there no point in ordering it dry if it's already straight ?" Alex gave him his death glare , "Vodka ," ,his request was directed at Daniel ,"Dryer than Aiden's jokes and straighter than a heterosexual . " Tatiana nearly choked on her drink , bursting into another fit of laughter .

"I was only trying to make a point . Zytnia . Straight ." ,Alex repeated again . "Urmm..." , Daniel cut in ,"That's pretty strong...Are you sure that's what you want ? Not even ice ? And olive ?" Alex shook his head , "1st is black coffee . Second best is dry vodka . Zytnia . " Tatiana warned Alex that it would burn his throat, and that it tastes almost like rubbing alcohol , or a 'tasteless fire' . Alex shook his head , saying he was used to it . "Bu-but...Itsn't that dangerous ? I mean , as bartender , I have to make sure you drink responsably." Alex shook his head , "Zytnia . Straight . Now . " ,he replied laconically . Daniel sighed ,"How about no ?"

"How about,",Alex growled , "youbring me my damned vodka and be done with it ?" Daniel growled back , "Onceagain-how about no ?" Tatiana broke in . "I think I remember a certain customer of mine , who went by the name of Daniel Shea , " Daniel gulped at this , reddening . " I remember that he insisted that the customer is always right , and that he wanted it painfully kink-"

"Okaay ! Zytnia coming right up ! " , Daniel suddenly yelled . "Nice . " , Alex thanked Tatiana , who ordered another margarita once Alex got his vodka . He enjoyed the sensation of his throat burning as he gulped it down . Alex turned to Aiden , "You ever notice how...", he noticed Tatiana drank the rest of Aiden's tequila shot , and quickly ordered another , "How fast time passes ? Seems like yesterday I was crawling around on all fours ..." ,Aiden grabbed his shot glass , "Don't wanna know about your private life , you pervert . You should lay offa the Zytnia , you're starting to sound more and more like an old man by the seco-" he was startled by Tatiana , who burst randomly into a fit of laughter . "I'm sorry , I just remembered something . Haha...'It's big in my mouth' ... So stu-piiid." Aiden glared at her ,"How many has she had ?" Tatiana slumped on the counter , "I stopped counting after 3 , I think I've had 3 . Ah yes , 3 , but that's not counting the two shots I jacked from you while you and Al were-haha!" Aiden groaned , " Damn , I think we should be heading home now.." He paid Daniel , and walked Tatiana out of the bar .
