Angel Of RedLater that evening Haldey had gotten a call from an acquaintance, informing him that he too was in Mexico on vacation. His acquaintance had suggested that the two of them catch up over a few drinks, maybe even explore Mexico city's nightlife. Interested in the drinks and the time to catch up with a familiar, Hadley agreed but politely declined in the suggestion to explore the nightlife. That wasn't particularly something he was fond of even when he was younger but he would end up giving into his acquaintance's persistence later that night.
Haldey was casually dressed, not as casually as he had been earlier that day in his button-up white collared shirt and tan khaki shorts. No, this time he wore a nice but casual navy blue button-up dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up his arms midway and had the first few buttons of the shirt unbuttoned exposing a bit of his chest. A deep tan leather belt was wrapped around his waist through the belt loops of soft tan slacks, which reached the tops of a pair of casual leather oxfords that matched his belt.
His acquaintance whom he had not seen in over ten years seemed perfectly comfortable with the close proximity of the inside of the bar and the heat that came with it. "Come on, after a few more drinks you'll be alright." His friend had said over the sound of the band.
Typically, Hadley wouldn't be too sure about those words but part of him was hoping they would be true in this case.
"You had me fooled for a minute there, Hadley. I thought you had completely changed since college, but yet you still aren't a fan of huge crowds are you?" Adrian, his companion, had said as he ordered his drink, nearly having to yell to do so.
"No, sadly, some things do not change." Hadley had responded easily, his eyes moving to the band and then over the crowd. For a moment he caught sight of curly blonde hair but Adrian had gotten his attention before he could get a good look to see if it was the young woman from earlier that day. Pushing the thought away, he ordered a drink. Gin and Tonic. That too had not changed from his college days. Apparently, Adrian had taken note, not that he had any room to say anything as the bartender had slid him a glass of whiskey, neat.
"I'll drink to that." Adrian said, some things that didn't change were accepted on some occasions.
As the two went to mingle into the crowd Hadley, pushing through the crowd, came across the same head of blonde curls he'd thought he'd seen earlier. A redhead accompanied her too. "Hey, Adrian, hold up for a moment." His friend had paused, following the direction of Hadley to the blonde he began speaking to. His brow furrowed confused, one of his students maybe?
Hadley had slid over to Chloe, using the excuse that it would be rude to not say hello as they had conversed so easily earlier in the day. When in reality he, unadmittedly, was curiously drawn to her. "Hey! Chloe, I see your celebrations have continued?"
