Morning after the night before

I woke up to the sound of the kettle boiling, "You and your tea Ems, I sometimes think you'd choose it over me!"
"Mate, it's tea, of course I'd choose it over you!" I kicked her as I went off to do my makeup.
I wasn't too fussed on my appearance so I just applied my usual makeup with a bit of eyeliner under my eyes to define them and maybe a tiny bit of glitter...
I'm obsessed ok?!
After a cup of tea or two, me and Els decided to walk back to hers as I was staying there for a couple of days as my mum had gone on holiday. Ella had been my best friend for 5 years now, we were very similar and yet very different, one things for sure, I really couldn't live without her! Despite the fact she had a boyfriend, (George) she always made time to see me.
Then there was Jessie, my little Jess, we hadn't been friends for very long, but we were just as close and Ella and me, which was nice.
Anyway, to get to Ella's house from Emma's, you have to walk past Jack's, which in all honesty was the last thing I wanted to do right now, but Ella dragged me with the promise of food when we got to hers.
Luckily we made it past Jack's without seeing him, only to walk round the corner and literally bump right into him!
Well not just him...
I face planted into someone's chest, whereas Ella, 'accidentally' barged into Jack, nearly knocking him to the ground!
Back to me, I was halfway through apologising to this stranger I'd just attacked when I looked up into his eyes, and oh my golly gosh they were amazing!!! They were dark brown and when you looked into them you could feel the warmth come from within them.
Wow.
I was kinda lost in them for a while, it was then I realised his hand was holding my waist to stop me from falling, oh yeah I'd just face planted into him hadn't I?!
"Henry, come on mate we're gonna be late"
"You're Henry, Jack's cousin Henry?" I somehow managed to make my mouth form those words.
He laughed, clearly sensing my difficulty in this word forming malarkey.
"Yeah, that's me"
He had an accent probably because he didn't come from round here, and when he spoke he smiled, causing his brown eyes to squint.
"But, but, how are you so fit?" I clasped my hands over my mouth, but it was too late, the words were out.
He laughed, but not in a mocking way.
"Thanks, you're not too bad yourself" He winked and I turned a whole new shade of red. "Henry, seriously hurry the fuck up!" Jack's voice filled the street, making the both of us jump.
"Hey, look I've gotta run, but can I get your number off Jack?"
"If he'll give it to you,"
He smiled, oh my days his smile!
"Oh don't worry he will, I know Jack too well, it won't take me long,"
"So I'll be expecting a message from you tonight then?" I laughed, trying to present myself as flirtatious.
"You can count on it, unless that is, I'm eaten by wolves.." He winked one final time, before running off after Jack.
