Frank parked along the curb of a restaurant called Hampton Steakhouse and Bar.  This place looks expensive as well.  But it doesn't faze me anymore.  I'm starting to get used to Adam's expensive taste. 

"Thank you."  I say as Frank opened the door for me. 

He smiles at me as I get out of the car.  "Have a nice dinner."  He says. 

I walk into the restaurant and immediately eye the bar.  That's my target zone. 

"Hi.  Do you have a reservation?"  A voice asks, interrupting my thoughts. 

It was a man in a black vest and green bow tie with a name plate of Jerri. 

"Yes I believe.  I'm with the party of Adam Smith and Robert Pines?"  I say. 

He checks his booking list and a small smile appeared on his hairless face.  "Yes.  But your party hasn't checked in yet.  Your reservations is at 6:30 and it's only 6:20."  Jerri informs me. 

I frown as I put my gaze down on the ground.  "So what am I going to do for ten minutes?"  I ask, looking back up at him. 

"Um...we have a bar if you want to wait there."  Jerri shrugs, notioning behind him. 

"Don't have to tell me twice."  I mutter as I walk past Jerri to the bar. 

I really hope they don't ask for identification and just assume that I'm 21 and older.  I sit down at a stool that has my back facing the entryway of the restaurant.  Looks like I'm the only one sitting here while everyone else dines. 

"Hi.  What can I get you?"  A tall lanky guy asks with a black vest and a green bow tie. 

I look at the menu that sits in front of me and my eyes immediately get attracted to the vodka. 

"Can I have a couple of shots of Vodka?"  I ask, looking at the price.  When it wasn't ridiculous, I relaxed. 

"Sure.  Coming right up."  He says. 

I didn't have to wait long because next thing I know there were two shot glasses right in front of me.  I downed the first one, feeling the casual burn down my throat, and then I downed the second one. 

"Can I have another round?"  I ask, holding my hand up. 

"Sure."  The bartender refills my shot glasses as I down those two.

"Woo!"  I exclaim, twirling my fingers  as a sign for the bartender to keep the rounds coming. 

I'm not sure how many rounds I went through.  I stopped counting at four.  I feel all woozy and excited at the same time.  I checked the time and it looked like it said 7:30.  7:30?  How come it's so late? 

"Elizabeth?"  I heard a deep masculine voice say behind me. 

I turn around and see a very handsome man standing in front of me wearing a gray button down with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks. 

"Hello Adam."  I slurred.  I give him a wink and place my hand on his chin.  "You look very sexy tonight." 

But to my disappointment, he doesn't smile at me as he cleared his throat.  "Elizabeth, this is Robert Pines.  Robert, this is my secretary Elizabeth."  Adam introduces, looking at a man next to him.
