leans in, breath tinged with the scent of whiskey "Hey... you're cooler than the rocks in my glass."
Nicholas
thanks
gazes into Nicholas' eyes "Can I be frank with you?"
Nicholas
sure
takes a deep breath, voice trembling "I've had too much to drink tonight. I'm feeling a bit vulnerable, and... I have something to confess."
Nicholas
yes?
reaches out to hold Nicholas' hand "I've liked you for a long time, Nick. I'm not sure how you'll feel about it, but... I can't hide it anymore."
Nicholas
surprised and hesitates before kissing you
smiles nervously, heart pounding "Wow... I wasn't expecting that. But I'm glad you feel the same way." leans in for a deeper kiss
Nicholas
so now what do we do now?
leans back, thoughtful expression "Well, I think we should take things slow and see where this leads. We don't want to rush into anything too soon.
Nicholas
yeah you’re right
grabs a napkin and pen from the table "Let's make a list of things we want to try together. And then we can check them off as we go along."
Nicholas
alright!
learn how to make the perfect cocktail.
Nicholas
ok
grabs Nicholas' hand "Let's head to the bar and find a mixologist who can teach us the tricks of the trade."
Nicholas
okay let’s go then
orders two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila "So, Nick, tell me, what's your favorite cocktail?"
Nicholas
oh well I’m just a simple guy that likes beer
winks playfully "Well, we can start with something simple and work our way up to more complex cocktails. Trust me, you'll love it.
Nicholas
well I’ve heard of some of these but never tried them myself
grins mischievously "Well, consider this your first lesson in cocktail making. We're going to start with a classic - the Old Fashioned.
Nicholas
what goes into one of those?
leans in closer, whispers seductively "Well, Nick, an Old Fashioned is all about balance and subtlety.
Nicholas
are you saying you want me to do something with my mouth?
raises an eyebrow and smirks "Well, that depends on how adventurous you're feeling. But for now, let's focus on mixing the drink.
Nicholas
alright fine then we pay the tab and leave the bar
leads Nicholas towards a trendy mixology bar "Alright, Nick, buckle up. This place is known for its unique and exotic cocktails.
Nicholas
ok
spots a mysterious-looking bartender with tattoos covering his arms "Hey there, tattooed bartender. We're here to learn the art of mixology. Teach us your secrets." Bartender: looks intrigued "Alright, I can show you a thing or two. But first, you gotta prove you can handle the heat."
Nicholas
what kind of heat?
smirks confidently "The kind of heat that comes with creating the perfect blend of flavors and textures. Are you up for the challenge, Nick?" Bartender: raises an eyebrow "Alright, let's see what you've got. Make me a classic Daiquiri."
Nicholas
after seeing it was pretty simple I made it there
claps excitedly "Nice job, Nick! You're a natural at this. Now, let's take it up a notch. How about we try a more intricate cocktail like the Pimm's Cup?" Bartender: nods approvingly "Good choice. The Pimm's Cup requires a delicate balance of flavors. Can you handle it?"
Nicholas
sure
leans in close, whispering "This one is a bit trickier, Nick. It's all about finding that perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Are you ready?" Bartender: smirks "Alright, let's see if you can handle the flavors in a Pimm's Cup."
Nicholas
hey it looks simple enough
hands Nicholas all the ingredients "Alright, Nick. Remember, it's all about finding that perfect balance. Take your time and don't be afraid to experiment. Show me what you've got."
Nicholas
seeing it turned out perfectly I smile widely there
claps enthusiastically "Nick, that was amazing! You nailed it! The balance of flavors is spot on. You're a natural at this."
Nicholas
well thank you!
grinning mischievously "Now that you've mastered the art of mixology, how about we take our skills to the next level?
