"Hey Elena !" Lucas waved with his charming smile like always .
"Woah. Hey ! " Alison smiled. " You know popping up like this- you scared me!" He added .
"Sorry- I didn't really mean too." Lucas quickly apologized .
"It's okey. I'm Just saying."
Lucas smiled and motioned at a guy who was standing somewhat 6 feet away from them .
"That's Jackson. The one I told you about." Lucas added.
"Ahh. Hello." Alison waved.
Jackson waved back and came few feet forward .
"Nice to meet you ."
"Nice to meet you too. But I'll go now . "
"Why all of a sudden?" Lucas questioned.
"Come on. I can't be a third wheel on your date night. I'll be around here . Drinking or maybe dancing . Enjoy. " Jackson patted Lucas's back and disappeared in the crowd .
Alison looked on his side and showed a thumbs up where Julian was currently stood in case he needed to shoo away the guy who was supposed to come with Lucas .
Julian gave a thumbs up back and he too disappeared in the crowd .
"So, where do you want to seat ?" Lucas asked.
"Anywhere is fine ."
"Let's grab a drink first."
"Okey."
.......
"What do you want to have? I'll order " Lucas asked as they reached the bar area.
"Um.. Strawberry lemonade?" Alison hesitantly said cause he wasn't very sure about Lucas's reaction because he literally ordered a non alcoholic drink in the most hyped bar in the city .
"You are a little baby . Let me order something for you ." Lucas Smiled and lightly patted his head , making Alison's cheeks burn .
After that Lucas ordered same drinks for both of them , while Alison stood in a distance .
.....
He came back with their two drinks and handed one to Alison .
"Let's go upstairs ."
With that they walked upstairs , as they had small conversation going on . For some reason it was really awkward .
Probably because drunk people kept bumping into them or maybe because so many girls with overly exposed dress were everywhere or it could be because Lucas was acting little different than the first time they met .
Whatever the reason was Alison choose to ignore it for now.
......
The 2nd floor looked really luxury , with black and Red lather couches and lots of chandelier. It was less crowded as well.
They sat down on an empty black couch side by side and placed their drinks on the glass table in front of them .
Lucas took a ship from his glass and pulled Alison close to him by his waist .
"You haven't even tasted your drink, go on ." Lucas placed his drink down and picked up Alison's glass and moved it towards his lips , his hand still resting on Alison's waist .
Alison hesitated, 'should he call Julian and tell him first that he's drinking today .' he thought .
He shook his thoughts away because he was taking too much time thinking, and took a sip .
The liquid burnt his throat but it tasted really sweet and almost addictive .
"That's it sweetheart. " Lucas put his glass down .
" It tasted good ,right ?" He added.
Alison hummed as he tried to get away from Lucas's grip on his waist without being very obvious.
