White noise drowning out the roar in my head. I sat in the VIP booth—dark corner, bottle service, the usual. A half-empty glass of whiskey swirled in my hand, ice clinking against the sides.

I watched as all the guys got forced to line up and were handled a baby bottle. “What is this shit?” Alpha Jackson looked at his bottle and then at Jo. “It’s a baby bottle. Surely you knew that?” She smiled at him. “Okay, it is full of whiskey. The first person to finish their bottle, get’s this.” She held up a bottle of whiskey. “This is Old Rip Van Winkle.

The ice cubes softly clink, releasing a gentle sound. As the whiskey touches the glass, its aroma rises, filling the air with warmth. The liquid swirls, releasing its rich scent, and inviting the senses to savour the moment. I never appreciated pouring whiskey before but it was a way to distract myself. After filling the cup, I walked slowly to Mikhail. His blank gaze never leaves, and our skin grazes each other. His touch was as electrifying as I remembered it.

Or whatever it is I'm doing right now. "Do you like scotch, then?" he says finally. "Actually, I've never had scotch," I blurt without thinking. When I realize I've just undermined my whole pick-up strategy, I rush on. "I mean, I've had whiskey. That's like scotch, right? Or..." Oh shit. What am I even talking about?

Maybe wondering which will fit the celebration at hand, finally he set the last bottle down and made his choice. He opened the new brand-label whiskey and poured half of its content into the wine glass. He brought it to his lips and took a sip licking his lips in satisfaction. He suddenly began to laugh heartily, hell! It has been a long he felt so good.
