Get a drink

You came here for a drink. So you headed for the bar.

"Hey...Pat," Pete started as you reached the bar, "What can...I get you?" He flashed you an inviting smile. He probably knew you were too young to drink, but having seen you with more than one of the professors who stopped by, hadn't bothered to check your ID. As long as you didn't cause trouble, he wasn't about to cross any professor's wishes.

"Lite," you told him. You laid a fiver on the bar as he handed you the glass of beer he had just tapped. “Have you seen Cindy recently?”

“She here pretty regularly.” he said as he laid four singles on the bar. You downed the glass quickly and handed the glass back to Pete. Taking another single, he poured you another beer. “I’m don’t really expect her today…if you know what I mean.” You nodded as you took a sip from your beer. As cheap as the beer at the Rathskellar was, the beer at the party later would be free.

“You looking for her?” Pete asked. He pulled out his cell phone and waved it in front of you. “I can get her if you want.”

“Actually, we’re playing hide and seek.” You told him, “She’s looking for me.”

“So I see.” Pete answered. He showed you a text message from Cindy. She was asking for help and offering a “prize” for whoever helped her catch you. You had no doubt that you would be the one who had to provide the “prize”. You felt your jaw tighten. While not technically against the rules, it was rather slimy.

“You going to let her know I’m here?” You asked as you pounded the beer in your hand and ordered another.

“I hadn’t intended to…” Pete said as he poured another beer. “Of course, there is the offer of a prize…” He had a big smile on his face as set the glass in front of you. His eyes slid up and down your figure appreciatively, before they seemed to settle on your chest.

Pete was obviously fishing for an offer from you. Pete wasn’t the type to take sides in a dispute between others. Not even some vague offer of sex was likely to change that. On the other hand, as you noticed where his gaze was, you realized that you had stuck out your chest enticingly.
