Dan's cell phone chirped. He looked down at it, noticing that it was 10:00. Chuck had taken him to a bar somewhere in Manhattan, or at least that's what he thought. He was up at the bar schmoozing up the bartender and getting them some drinks. After all, they were still underage. He ended up getting some shots and walked back to the table with a tray in his hand.
"So, this is what you do on a normal night? Sit around a bar and drink your woes away?"
"I don't have any woes. Just shut up Humphrey and drink up," Chuck snapped back as he grabbed a shot in his hand.
"Um, I would but what the hell is this?"
"It's scotch straight up. What? You've never had alcohol before? That doesn't surprise me."
"Yeah, um, there's no way I'm drinking this…"
"Look, you said you wanted to live the life of me, and this is living the life of me. Now drink up before I leave you here by yourself."
Dan took one shot in his hand. "Well I guess I can have one."
"Oh no, you're not just having one. I bought 20 shots, and we're going to do 20 shots. And that's just the starter."
"W-w-what do you mean, just the starter?"
"Well," Chuck laughed. "After these shots I've got a little herbal refreshment for us." He opened his hand and inside was a tiny joint enough for two.
"Uhh," Dan hesitated. He wasn't sure if this was what we meant by living the life of Chuck Bass. This wasn't him at all, and he's not the kind of guy to get drunk. "Okay I guess its time for bottoms up."
Dan grabbed a shot and clinked his glass with Chuck's.
"Cheers," Dan said as he slammed the shot down. It was cool at first when it hit his lips, and then burned sailing down his throat.
"Yeah, cheers."
Chuck watched Dan as he threw his head back and took another shot. He couldn't help but laugh at him. It was amusing to see Dan actually thinking that the two of them were friends, because they never would be. And Dan had no idea what he was getting himself into. Chuck just didn't want to ruin his night and get him completely drunk, he wanted more. Dan was his little experiment. He'd never expect what was going to happen towards the end of the night. In fact, I don't think anyone would.
This is going to be better than I ever expected it to be, Chuck thought as he grabbed another shot and chugged it down. And I can't wait.
