Summertime lovin'

Chapter 4

Tony smiled as he walked to the bar, searching for his group. The top deck was decorated in mood lighting, the smell of alcohol and salt filling the floor. The bars were all serving exotic but delicious food, filled with spices and vegetables. As expensive loafers walked over the waterproofed wood, small squeaks were quickly silenced by the splashing of others on the large saltwater pools. They were lit up from below, since it was growing late in the evening.

He looked around, eyes running over the countless people as he tried to spot his group of friends. As warm brown eyes floated over the area near the pool, a blonde mop of hair, distinctively stood out to Tony. Something about it, he couldn't place but it was familiar. He'd seen it before, it was important, but why? However before Tony could identify the man, the corner of his eyes saw a beautifully dressed lady wearing her signature color, black. The corners of his mouth life's up to a smile, sticking his hand up and starting to wave. Loki followed the man's gaze, seeing a group starting to walk over.

Thor has grown distracted as he was not a fan of waiting for long. Truthfully, it had only been about fifteen minutes. "Come back here, we're here to buy a drink remember?" He asked. "Oh yes! Of course" a bright smile returned to Thor and he moved to stand beside Tony. "What was that you were looking at a moment ago? You looked like it was important" Thor asked, shocking Loki with his observation. It wasn't that the large man was ignorant, instead he just never really boded about his intelligence or knowledge about certain observations. "Oh.....well, I'm not sure. But it was something, something I thought was important" Tony said, turning to see if his thoughts would return to him.

"I can't remember. But it doesn't matter, we're here for drinks" he said, snapping his head back to his quickly approaching friends. "Tony" Natasha greeted him, the darkly dressed female moved in for a hug, then stepped to the side to say hello to the brothers. "So, this is Loki and Thor, and these are my friends and the group I'm here with. That's Clint and Laura, Peter, Bruce, and this is Natasha" he smiled proudly and started to lead them to the bar.

"You know, that one there provides much faster service" Thor pointed to a neighboring bar. Seeing the looks pop up on a few of their faces he quickly clarified. "I was up here earlier talking to a nice couple and they recommend that one. Nice people, apparently they do this yearly"

"Alright then we can go there" Peter sat down first while Bruce scanned the menu. Tony took the seat beside Loki, while Natasha sat on his right, with following. It only took a few minutes for everyone to get their order figured out, with Laura starting with the first drink. Everyone ordered something except Bruce who wasn't interested in getting wasted. In fact, the gentle and kind man seemed to have another thought on his mind. "Um, I just wanted to say you look really pretty tonight" he complimented Natasha, a sheepish smile on his face. "Thank you, you clean up pretty nice yourself Bruce" she smiled.

"Ready to race Barton?" A smirking brunette asked, a bottle of bear to her lips as she looked at her boyfriend. "Of course" he smiled back. "Hey count me in" Loki ordered the same for him, and on Tony's mark started to chug.

"Come on you can beat them!"

"Barton i know you can drink faster!"

"Come on! Just a little more"

Their friends cheered on the trio, who gulped the brackish liquid down. After a few fast seconds, Loki put his bottle down first with Laura and then Clint finishing. "I still beat you" she taunted Clint and then pulled him in for a kiss. The group let out 'oo's teasing the couple before laughing. It seemed the brothers fit right in with the others. The drinks kept coming, a line of shots lined up for them all. "On three" Peter cheered, the effects a little slower on him. Tony rises his shot with his friends, swallowing the burning liquid.

The next round came, and then they relaxed a little to let it hit. Natasha decided not to stay long, growing bored and still tired. She left after the hour, with Bruce following hoping to push his own agenda as his confidence had grown with the shots he had taken. Peter had also gotten tired, expressing to tony his binder hurt and he wanted to relax a bit. Since he had drank the most, Clint and Laura had decided to also go with him just in case. At some point Loki has mysteriously disappeared, while the clock ticked and the last two continued to talk. It was late now, growing close to midnight as Thor noticed the clock. "Well Tony. It's been great my friend. But we have a long day tomorrow and I'd like some sleep" he smiled. "But here. My brother and my number as well as room number. If you would like to do something again you know here to find us" he smiled. "Yes of course. I'll definitely see you guys around" Tony promised. "Do you want me to walk you to your door?"

"No no. I'm fine. Most of it has worn off. I'll see you around Tony" Thor smiled as he paid his part, leaving Tony alone at the bar. The older male wasn't quite ready to go just yet, a part of him felt as if he had unfinished business. But after ordering one more scotch and finishing it, he decided that was enough.

The male walked away after paying and leaving a generous tip, looking for something else. As he traveled down the hallways his mind wandered, leaving him in a coma like state. It want until he ran into something that the males mind snapped back. "I'm so so sorry, I should have been watching where I wa......" Tony's voice fell off as he looked at who he had run into and his heart rate sped up dramatically.

Heheh. It's not who you think :) also sorry for this kinda boring chapter, it was obviously a filler
