Alfie did as she requested and climbed up to the chair, his hair billowing in the ocean breeze. It was great, if not a little cold, out tonight, but he could stand it if it was just going to be him and Laney. He always had a good time with Laney, and even after he started to consider that he might like her as a more than just a friend, he still felt comfortable when around her, if only just a tiny bit more self-conscious. "Thanks," he said about the shirt. "I like your.... outfit too."
Taking a seat beside her, he noticed that it wasn't just the five beers. There was more too. He tried to hold back his gulp and put on his bravest face before taking the bottle and tossing it back for a sip. It was a bit stronger a taste than he was used to, but it wasn't entirely off-putting. He could probably take another swig after he rinsed off his mouth with Listerine or something. Actually, it sort of tasted like Listerine. "Wow... Good shit," he said, handing it back to her as he struggled to keep a straight face.
