Cole's POV
My feelings for Lexi have been growing and growing. To distract me from said feelings I've been sleeping with other girls. I mostly sleep with Ariana because ever since I took her V card, she's been getting better and better.
Lexi and I haven't been hanging out as much ever since our little "date". I think it's cause I'm always too busy fucking some girl and she's always too busy with work.
"Hey Lexi?" I call out to her from outside her door.
"Yeah??" She asnwers
"What are you doing in there?" I ask
"Just...getting ready for work." She says
"Okay...well...I'm headed to the party now." I say
"Okay!! Bye!!" She says
After giving the door one last curious glance, I got out of the house and headed to the party.
So let me explain. Today is Chase's birthday. Chase had two group of friends. My group and Lexi's group. My group consists of Me, Robin, Olivia and Ariana. Lexi's group consists of Lexi, Jess, Jackson and Harrison. Lexi's group and my group hung out earlier this morning to celebrate Chase's birthday privately. Tonight though, Chase rented out a whole club just for his birthday. All of us were going except for Lexi because she has work.
If you're wondering why Lex and I have different groups, it's because Jess and her want nothing to do with Ariana and Olivia. Many can tell that the four hate each other but they don't want to admit it to each other yet. Since Ariana and Olivia are always with Robin and I, Jess and Lex reufuse to hang out with us.
I arrived at the party and saw a bouncer. Chase somehow got the list of all the seniors and juniors in our school and gave it to the bouncer so he knows that the only people who can come in are those in the list. The party wasn't in full swing yet when I got inside.
I spotted Chase talking to some guy who looked like he was in his mid 30's or something. Chase looked really frustrated and upset so I decided to go up to him as soon as the guy left.
"Hey Birthday Boy" I say
"Hey Cole" He says
"Who was that guy?" I ask
"The manager. He said that the bartender left early because he has something to do or whatever. He got a replacement but the dude isn't here yet so there's nobody to make the alcohol." He huffs
"Ahhh so that's why there's no grinding yet" I chuckle
"Yeahhh. Lexi really couldn't come?" He asks
"Nah man sorry." I say. He pouts but nods
A few minutes later I've lost the birthday boy. I'm just sitting by the bar now. I feel two warm hands cover my eyes. Even if it's been so long since I last held these hands, I will always remember.
"HOLY FUCK LEXI?!" I pry her hands away from my eyes and turn around. In front of me stood Lexi. A different Lexi. Gone is the girl who wears baggy sweaters and clothes that won't show any part of her skin. Here in front of me is a girl who wore a sexy red corset with black booty shorts. From cute and innocent to hot and sexy.
"Heya" she grins at me. I'm still staring in shock as she goes and gets behind the bar. Wait what.
"Hey you're not supposed to be there. The manager got mad at us when we tried to get at least a shot of vodka" I say
"I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be here Cole, unless you don't want any drinks" she says as she takes out a fuck ton of shot glasses and pours in some vodka
"Holy fuck. YOU'RE the bartender?!" I excliam
"I need money Cole. This job pays good and the manager is awesome. He taught me how to make the best drinks." She says
"At least you're not a stripper or something" I say
"I would never. No matter how desperate I am" She says
She finishes pouring all the shots. She looks over to the dj and waves her hands wildly. The dj notices her giving a thumbs up and gives her a nod.
"WHO'S READY TO GET DRUNK OFF THEIR ASS" The dj yells. Many yells were heard in reply. People start crowding the bar and take a shot.
"DAMN THAT'S STRONG" Someone yells. People cheer and order Lexi for a refill. She does just that and even takes out some red plastic cups and fills them with the vodka she was pouring.
Soon the party was really starting. Drunk people were everywhere. I have to admit that I am a bit tipsy but not drunk . I've been dancing with random girls for hours and I'm starting to get tired. I decided to get a drink, so I walk over to the bar.
"I thought you said that you've never been to a party?" I ask her
"I didn't say that, Ariana did. She doesn't know that I work at a club. The only one who knows is Jess and Brian. Jess parties while I make drinks. We would be partying together either before or after my shift." She explains
"Well then Ms Bartender, could you please make me one of your strongest drinks." I say
"Are you sure?" She frowns a bit
"Yup!!! Get me drunk as fuck" I say
"Make that two"
Chase appears next to me and grins widely at Lexi.
"You said you couldn't come." He playfully glares at her
"Surprise?" She says
"Damn right I'm surprised." He says making Lexi laugh.
"So...my strongest drink huh?" Lexi ponders
"AAALLLEEEXXXX" Jess comes boundong towards us.
"Alex Alex Alex. Gimme one 7 headed dragon shot." She grins widely at Lexi
"Coming right up!" Lex takes out multiple bottles.
"What's the 7 headed dragon shot?" Chase asks Jess
"Probably the strongest drink Alex has ever made." Jess explains
"Two more of that please" Chase tells Lexi.
I check the alcohol she's using and holy crap. Jim Beam, Jack Daniels...WHAT THE
"Bacardi 151?!?!" I exclaim
"What's that?" Chase asks
I don't respond. I'm too busy examining the bottle and looking at Lexi wide eyed and speechless.
"It's a kind of rum with 75.5% alcohol." Lexi explains
"HOLY FUCK" Chase yells
Lex hands us our drinks. Chase and I take our time to examine it.
"Why is it bigger than a shot glass? I thought this was supposed to be a shot." Chase says
"Well all these alcohol won't fit into one tiny shot glass. This drink is drank in a slightly bigger shot glass." Lex explains
"Now let's drink up!!!" Jess says excitedly
"Oh good lord if I die..."Chase trails off
"Stop being a bunch of pussies and drink up." Jess rolls her eyes at us
Chase and I look at each other and nod. We bring the glass up to our mouths and take in the drink. We didn't stop until we drank it all.
"SHIT THAT WAS STRONG AS FUCK" Chase yells
And that was the last thing I heard before losing all of my senses and sanity to the alcohol.
