knee socks

chapter nine

i hope you guys like the ✨tension✨ in this chapter, you can thank me laterrr

We walked towards the bar to ask for drinks when I heard a laugh. no. You have got to be kidding me. It can't be him.

i discreetly turned around and in a table in a corner was alex turner aka the love of my life laughing openly with a guy.

first of all fuck. if he catches us here i'm pretty sure it won't be nice, but i couldn't stop staring at him, he was laughing and looking so carefree and happy... fuck we just made eye contact and he saw me.

I quickly turned around and walked towards Fred and George who were ordering drinks. "guys we've got a small problem" I said in a low voice "just one second, we're almost finished" Fred said and then I smelled him.

Yeah I know i'm fucking weird but he always smells the same, roses and cigarettes and i could tell he was pretty close to me. Like exactly behind me. I took a deep breath because I knew that even if he wasn't sure if it was me he obviously saw two identical redheads and he wasn't forgetting them soon.

"Hey" he said in his deep voice and i tried to muster as much courage as possible as i turned to face him. "Hey" we stared at each other for a couple of seconds.

"Sooo, what brings you here?" I tried to start the conversation and get rid of the awkward tension. He smirked "I was just drinking, you know, legally" I faked a laugh at this and he tskd at me "I mean I never really expected this from you Eve..." ok does anyone have a 101 on how to talk with your crush when he basically caught you doing something illegal?

Just to make matters worse Fred and George turned around, both with vodka shots. Someone kill me, it'll be less embarrassing than this. Alex raised and eyebrow and the twins looked at me, like what am i supposed to do to get us out of this? Im not God for fucks sake.

"And both Mister Weasleys decided to join us too I see" suddenly the bald guy Alex was laughing with before appeared out of nowhere and spoke "so Alex, who are these... kids?

Great I think this is the epitome of awkwardness, the five of us just standing in the middle of the pub. Mr Baldy must have realised this too because he suggested we sat at their table and talked there.

At least now it was uncomfortable but in a small space. So much better, am I right? "So um I guess you're Alex's- I mean Mr Turners friend" i said to try to break the silence. He smiled at me "Yeah, my name's Miles Kane, and I'm guessing you three are students of his?" we nodded and i smiled my awkward-white-man-smile "uh yeah, i'm Eve, this is Fred and this is George" the twins nodded again and stared at the table again. I turned to look at Alex and he seemed amused and mad at the same time.

I tried my luck to see if we could get out of this by getting abruptly up. "Well it was great meeting you Miles, but i'm afraid we have t-" a strong hand shot up and grabbed my arm. (hot. that's it. sorry for my inappropriate thoughts) "No. sit " Yes sir, i thought as i sat back down.

"How did you three even get in here?" he finally said exasperatedly after some seconds of silence "I know they never let minors in from personal experience" the three of us looked and nodded "We snuck in" i said, and i wasn't technically lying, Fred and George had done so. "Oh really, and how?" Alex said with a hard voice "Eve just kind of talked with the front guy" George babbled out. what the fuck George? You little snitch. "You did exactly what?!" Alex seemed pretty mad and Miles calmed him down, even though he also looked scandalised.
