The three girls chatted avidly, talking about graduation and classes and the like.
"I'm going for a degree of psychology, maybe then take up teaching"
"Oh Sarah you must continue theatre, it would be such a pity...
So absorbed were they in conversation to notice the bartender slip a white pill into one of the exotic glasses, the handsome eyes of the bartender watching in satisfaction as the white substance dissolved in the gold liquid.
"Such a pity..."
The words echoed in her head, but she shook them off with a frown of annoyance.
"Here you go, ladies" cut in the smooth voice of the bartender.
3 tall cocktail glasses were handed to them, bubbling gold liquid each topped with a lime. But as he placed the glass in front of Sarah, she began to feel uneasy.
She looked down upon her enticing glass, having a mental debate, but was shook out of it by Maz' sipping, and exclamation of how good it tasted. Not wanting to seem like a wimp, I mean she had battled a horde of goblins and resisted a king, a sexy one at that. Wait...what? These last words were lost to her as was the liquid that Sarah had lifted off the table and poured down her throat.
It had a viscous texture, and caressed her throat all the way down. It tasted bitter-sweet, with a tinge of bubbling cider. It tasted of pomegranates and grapefruit and all the flavours of the spring and summer blooms. When it reached her stomach, she felt her body instantly come ablaze and fire up in a myriad of emotions, her face flushing. It was like a sugar hit, but a thousand times more effective. She suddenly felt too hot in the room.
"I told you it was good" grinned Cindy
"You have no idea..."
"Haha, I guess you guys were right about this stuff"
They were soon engaged in conversation, while the man across the counter straightened, smiled and nodded a curt nod and gave a signal to someone in the distance, then returning to cleaning the champagne flutes, but this time, with a self-appeased , almost wicked grin etched on the dark features of his face.
"Mhmm hmmn..." Sarah was tuning out, reaching for her intoxicating drink, not being able to resit the sweet, tangy flavour. Her eyes fluttered closed and she tipped her head back ever so slightly, while raising the elegant crystal class to her lips.
She let it travel slowly this time, letting the cool sensation run down her throat like a bubbling brook..
She took a second sip, and her blood travelled harder and faster through her veins
Craving the sensation, she tipped the glass further for another mouthful.
This time, the world faded around her.
She took a third sip, and Cindy's laughter died in midair.
She took a fourth, and her heart beat all the faster, pumping a racing rhythm, A wild bird breaking free.
On the fifth, her breathing became more laboured.
Moving out of control now, she sipped a sixth and she thought she could hear a throaty laugh in the crevices of her mind, and a whisper in her ear.
"Sarahhh.."
Her eyes snapped open as she almost slammed the delicate glass on the lounging table. She tried to calm her erratic breathing as she tried to recollect her thoughts. What was that voice? Why was she so flustered?
She was only dimly aware of the music and dancing aroud her, and Maz' pitch of voice.
Disoriented, she stared down upon the incriminating drink, only to find there was none.
The tall, brimmed to the top cocktail glass was now empty.
Sarah gasped. She finished it?
Mind and heart racing, she thought hard to recall what she was doing when enjoying the drink and how she had finished it in such a short time, and most importantly what it was doing to her.

Above the trio, in the VIP gold pass velvet lounges, a tall man in a strikingly well cut suit and tie sat, one leg hoisted over the other, in a imposing and majestic pose.
He chuckled softly to himself, while swirling his own exotic concotion.
There ya go.
