Drake had stared to mingle with some of the other people that had decided to show up and join the party. He was on his fourth whisky now and figured he should take it a little slower than normal if he wanted to have any sort of coherent conversation with Shade and Alexis to see if they could convince Shade to join their group.<br/><br/>As he stood there he kept a close eye on the front door and everyone that walked in and out to make sure he didn't overlook Shade showing up tonight. He felt he had made a good enough impression on her earlier that she would be willing to join the party, even though he didn't exactly know whether she was a party girl or not.<br/><br/>And then he finally saw her stepping inside, but it seemed like she wasn't alone. From his point of view it looked like she had brought some kind of date. Now this threw a bit of a monkey wrench in the works as he hoped it wasn't her boyfriend and she hadn't cheated on him earlier that day when they were in the shower. Drake glanced briefly through the room to catch Alexis' eye before nodding towards the door to indicate to her that the girl he had told her about had just arrived.<br/><br/>He finished his drink and made his way over to her. "Hi there, I'm so glad you could make it." He said as he leaned in and gave her a friendly peck on the cheek. "Let me introduce a close friend of mine. Alexis, meet Shade. Shade, meet Alexis. She knows all about omega and I've asked her to help you with anything you might be wondering about." He told Shade as he gestured into the direction of Alexis, ignoring the guy for now but assuming that Shade would introduce him or that the guy would introduce himself if need be.
