Loosen up!

I decide to stay and let myself have fun. I tip my own glass back and down the shot. It burns in my chest and I cough out of reflex.

“That’s right girl! Want another?” The tall guy asks me.

“Got something a little lighter?” I ask.

“Let me make you something more fruity. What’s your name by the way?” He asks turning his back to me slightly as he makes my drink.

“Kayla. You?” I ask as more people press in looking for drinks.

“Jacob.” I hear him say.

He spins back around and hands me my drink. I take a sip. It tastes good, but something is a little off. He probably just screwed up the ratio a little. I stay and chat with everyone and milk my drink, not liking the taste really, but not wanting Jacob to feel bad.

He notices my lack of enthusiasm and a disappointed look goes across his face.
