25 Getting drunk

At 8.30pm, there was a long line of people lining up to enter Maclaren's bar and a bouncer who was at the entrance was denying people from entering. Some women tried to seduce the bouncer and some men tried to bribe him, but all of their efforts were in vain. A young handsome brunette man, dressed in a T-shirt, a black jacket and jeans, was seen to be standing alone outside Maclaren's bar.

Alex said, "What is taking them so long?" while looking at his watch. As he looked up, he saw two familiar people, Cisco and Caitlin, hurrying towards him. They both said at the same time, "Sorry, Alex: " Alex said to them, "Let's head in."

Cisco: "But Alex, we got to queue up to enter."

Alex: " No need. We can straight away enter. Follow me." He headed towards the bouncer and Caitlin and Cisco followed him. They reached the bouncer, who halted them, Alex took out a silver colored card and showed it to the bouncer.As the silver card was taken out, a random person said, " Wow, that's a VIP membership card of this bar, Maclaren's bar. There's only 20 of those exist."

He said, "Hello, Terry. They are with me."

Terry: "Good evening, Dr. Alex. Your friends can enter, sir." He allowed them in and stood in the way of those people who were in line.

When they entered Maclaren's bar, Alex asked Cisco, "Cisco, why did you get here late?" Cisco replied, "We got here late ... Because Caitlin was choosing what to wear before coming here and doing her make-up." Caitlin asked them, " What are you guys discussing? " They replied, "Nothing ..." They quickly walked away from her and went searching for a spot to sit down and drink. Soon, Cisco found a free booth to sit down and drink. Cisco and Caitlin went there to sit, while Alex went to the bartender and ordered three Sidecar. Waited for a while for the expensive cocktails, he took them to the booth where Cisco and Caitlin were.

Alex: " Here, each for you."

Cisco: " What is this? "

Alex: " That is a Sidecar, made of 1865 Ritz Fine Champagne Cognac, Cointreau, and a dash of lemon juice, it's not for the faint-hearted or the frugal. Enjoy it."

Caitlin took a ship, exclaiming, " Wow, this is good." She asked Alex, " Alex, how much does this cost? "

Alex replied, " Erm ... it cost about $1670." Cisco and Caitlin shouted, " WHAT? " " Shh ... so try to enjoy the cocktail as much as you can. After this drink, I will buy you guys vodka," said Alex.

Cisco: " Anyways, Alex. We never get to know Barry. Can you describe him?"

Alex: " Barry is erm ... A total nerd... Also, sometimes socially awkward But, he is a kind-hearted person. "

Caitlin: " You guys must have been close."

Alex: " Yeah, we are."

Caitlin: " What about Iris? How did you guys know her? "

Alex: " We were childhood friends. We went to almost the same school, except for university. I had to go abroad to study medicine. She and Barry are each others' BFF ( Best friend forever). Also, they do have a crush on each other, but both of them are not honest with their true feelings. Sorry, I got off topic." Their conversation continued and kept on drinking.

Unknowingly, at 9.00pm, when Alex was talking to Cisco, he noticed that Caitlin got a little tipsy and her face was red. Alex said to Cisco, " Cisco, I think that Caitlin is drunk. " Cisco looked at Catlin and said, " How did she get drunk before us. We did drink the same amount, right? " They went out and found out that when they were conversing with each other, Caitlin kept drinking vodka which was refilled multiple times.

Alex thought, " Oh, forgot that Caitlin has a low tolerance of alcohol and does not know much about drinking." Then, they decided to stop here and Alex volunteered to take Caitlin home. Alex took Caitlin on his car and went to her home. Caitlin got very loud and on Alex's car, she talked with Alex.

Caitlin: " Alex, you are such a good friend. Do you have a girlfriend?You're smart. good looking and have a nice body." She touched Alex's body and kept touching his body especially Alex's perfect abs. Alex couldn't do much to stop Caitlin from doing so as he was driving the car. Alex talked to Caitlin, " Caitlin please stop. You're distracting me, I'm driving here."

She also sung songs during the journey to her home, they went into her bedroom in her house.

In her room, Caitlin started to undress her black dress unintentionally while Alex was standing in front of her. Alex was flabbergasted by her action and turned his back on her.

Caitlin: " A little help, please." Alex turned around and saw her in a black bra, with a stuck black dress. " Wait isn't this situation similar to what happened to Barry when Caitlin got drunk? It is. How am I going to help her undress and change? I can't reveal my super speed. " Alex was in dilemma, not knowing what to do. He had to do something when Caitlin said, "Alex? ... I'm waiting. "
