Through All Ages 2

82nd

Officer Fabian and Salinda came back with their hands full of drinks. They put them all on the table. Fabian stood a bourbon glass with a brown liquid infront of Agent Carter and a red cocktail with half a strawberry and a tiny, orange umbrella infront of Jason. Salinda handed me a yellow and blue drink with ice cubes, a tiny silver umbrella, a pineapple piece, a yellow straw and a blue firework stick. Then she smiled at me. I really had to look horribly nervous when she really thought I needed a beverage with an umbrella and a firework stick. The only thing missing was whipping cream and a cherry on top.

I closed my eyes and Salinda understood I didn't like my drink, which wasn't really the case. I asured her she was wrong and that I was very thankful. Carefully I sipped at my cocktail and tried to convince her that it tasted good, which actually really was true. I just felt so uncomfortable in this club with Ric being somewhere near. And the fact that I didn't know where exactly, was driving me crazy.

Jason took my hand to comfort me and suggested I should taste his drink and asked me if he could try mine. I agreed and we swapped our glasses. His cocktail also was very good and he complimented mine.
Salinda drank at her green beverage with a kiwi and a cucumber slice on the edge of the glass and offered to taste her's too. I made a disgusted face expression because it was green. Green mostly meant heathy and heathy meant, it tasted not that good. However, that was just prejudice and I didn't want to believe that. Although it was natural and like a reflex, still my hand took the green cocktail and I took a sip. As I thought, it tasted good and there was nothing wrong with it. Jason also tried it after asking and said the same.

Officer Fabian had a purple drink with a tiny purple umbrella, a purple straw, a purple firework stick and a blackberry on the edge. He also suggested that everyone tasted it and he wanted to try our cocktails as well. We all swapped our glasses and enjoyed the beverages. Chatting and drinking a little I finally started to relax. The alcohol in the cocktails did it's effect.

The music changed to a more hardcore song instead of rock and pop like it was before and the people around us seemed to dance more to it. I got a little nervous but I didn't really know if it was because of the music or the people. Jason tried to distract me, so he started a conversation about my beautiful outfit. I smiled and blushed.

Officer Salinda and Fabian talked about the cocktails and their favorite taste. Agent Carter attended their dialogue and they let him. I tried to listen to them but partly the music was too loud, so I couldn't understand every word they said yet, it was no problem to keep following their conversation.
