There was a slight buzz to his skin as he took the town car to Rachel's place. He was itching for something but he didn't take anything.
Rachel stayed with her sister which was not awkward at all. Thankfully Rachel was already ready and had her coat on. Cruz waved at Jared and hoped to slip out the door without anything confrontation. He was sober, had been for days.
Cruz offered Rachel his arm and when she took it he took her to the elevator to head back to the town car. He wanted to peak under the coat, but he didn't though he couldn't help but crack a joke. "You aren't naked under there are you? Cause if you are, I was kinda hoping for dinner first." His stomach growled loudly.
They talked small talk -- finals, projects, family, the weather -- the weather was the first thing on their list of topics of conversation. It was much colder at night than during the day when the sun was up. And it was bitter cold tonight. Thankfully they weren't walking anywhere.
The town car pulled up outside of the Radiance Hotel. The building was grand. The restaurante inside was 5 star and they had reservations. It was filled with the rich and famous and anyone who was anyone ate here. It was his grandfather's favorite place to take his buisness clients when he was in town.
"Reservation for Vega." Cruz said to the hostess when she asked.
She scrolled through her interface and nodded. "Can I take your coats?" Cruz's was already hung over his arm and he handed it to the lady who passed it off to the coat check guy who pulled a number and handed it back to her.
