Norah
It was painful saying goodbye when the night was over. I didn't want it to end. In the few hours we had together, we bonded over tequila shots, our experiences living in LA, and our dislike of Jared's karaoke song picks (Friday by Rebecca Black and Barbie Girl). Saying goodbye to everyone was tough—even Athina and Iris who I'd grown to really like in the short amount of time. But it was especially hard to send Niall off.
Or as Jared liked to call him: his girlfriend's other hall pass.
"Ahh, come 'ere." Niall wrapped me up in his arms and rocked us back and forth. "I'll see you soon. You and H will have to come over to my place for a drink. I just put in a nice bar."
"I'd really love that."
He looked to Harry. "Make sure you get her home safe, yeah?"
"Of course I will. Thanks for coming, mate." The two shared a hug, patting each other on the back.
I wasn't buzzed anymore, just tired from the long day. I curled by blazer tighter around my body and crossed my arms over my chest to protect against the chill of the night.
The rest of our friends left safely with designated drivers taking them home. The DD's only had two shots early on in the night and Jared had broken out a breathalyzer he bought online to ensure Brandon, Harry, and he were safe to drive. Sure enough, they each blew a 0.00. The several plates of loaded baked potatoes the guys had inhaled were definitely a help in burning away the small amount of alcohol in their system. I was also pretty sure I'd seen Harry toss his second shot over his shoulder so, I wouldn't be surprised if the other two had followed suit.
Niall got into his Uber, shouting his goodbyes out the window. We laughed at his antics and waved back as the SUV drove off. Of course the guy ordered Uber Black.
I tucked a hand around Harry's bicep and held his hand with my other as we walked to the parking lot that had cleared out long ago.
"So, how was your birthday?"
"The best I've ever had."
"Yeah? I've been hearing that a lot lately."
I laughed and leaned my head against his shoulder. "Don't start getting a big head, buddy."
He kissed the crown of my head. "Too late. I live off your praise. If you stop now, I'll wither away."
"Oh, you'll be fine."
"No, I don't think I would be. Not without you singing my praises."
I smiled lazily. We got to the car and Harry helped me inside, then looped around to the driver's side. He started the car, pulled out of the parking spot, then reached over the center console to grab onto my hand. I leaned my head against the seat and closed my eyes.
