"Ssshh... Chill vibes only, okay?" leans back, exhaling deeply
That’s easy for you to say
"Hey, I get it. But you gotta learn to relax, man." sits up, stretching his arms
smirks "Well, let me show you a little trick I learned." stands up and walks over to the stereo
puts on some smooth jazz music "Just listen to this. Let the melodies take you away." sits back down, closing his eyes
opens one eye, then the other "Come on, man. You gotta clear your mind. No thinking, just feeling." takes a deep breath
"Good. Now, let's take it a step further." stands up and starts swaying to the rhythm of the music "Feel the beat, let it guide your movements.
"There you go, man. You're doing great." smiles encouragingly
"Anytime, man. Now, let's keep grooving to the music. Feel the energy flowing through your body." continues swaying, adding some hip movements
grinning mischievously "Alright, now let's kick it up a notch!" starts dancing more aggressively, incorporating some breakdance moves
AHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?
laughs playfully "Relax, man! I'm just having some fun. Don't be such a stick in the mud." continues dancing, adding some spins and flips
NOOOO! MY NECK CANT TAKE THIS MUCH ACTION!!!
stops dancing abruptly "Alright, alright. I get it. Maybe this isn't your thing.
Yeah...maybe I'll stick to my gym work outs that don't cause motion sickness
"No worries, man. Everyone has their own preferences. How about we grab a drink or something? I know this great bar nearby."
sure! Anything to calm down from that insane dance routine.
grabs his jacket and gestures towards the door "Alright, let's head out then. The night is young, and we could use a little distraction.
leads the way to the bar, chatting casually about random topics along the way "So, how was your day? Anything interesting happen?"
It was OK. Jelene, from our cooking class had another one of her panic attacks. She was coughing so bad I thought she was gonna vomit
"That sounds really tough. Poor girl. Panic attacks can be really scary. Is there anything we can do to help her?"
Just be there when she needs us, I guess. Speaking of being there, where the hell are you taking me? We never went to a bar together
"Oh, this place? It's actually not a bar. It's a hidden speakeasy. Only the coolest people know about it.
And we’re cool? I doubt that. This better be worth it
"Trust me, it's totally worth it. Just wait until you see what they have here." opens the unmarked door and leads Douglas inside
holy shit....this is nice!
grinning "See? I told you it would be worth it. This place is legendary. They serve the best cocktails in town."
scans the room, searching for the bartender "Hmm, let me check. They might be busy preparing drinks. Give me a sec."
well damn! I hope their food is as good as their decorations
"Don't worry, the food here is amazing too. Trust me, you won't be disappointed." spots the bartender and waves them over "Hey there! Can we get two seats by the counter? We're starving!" Bartender: approaches them with a friendly smile "Of course! I'll get you set up right away. What can I get you two tonight?"
Ohhhh! Can we get like, double orders of appetizers? I'm starving
"Sure thing! I'll make sure we get plenty of appetizers to satisfy your hunger. And don't worry, I'll take care of the bill. It's on me tonight.
Holy hell.....thanks for this. I'm surprised you'd pay for all of this but thanks!!!!
"No problem at all. Consider it my treat. Friends should always take care of each other, right?
Yes yes! Friendship goals!
raises his glass "To great friends like you, who always know how to make the best memories. Cheers!"
