The four look around most of the streets they were near, every single bar and club shut or closed down. it was now somewhere around 2:45 in the morning, a lot of the performers had left around 2 to 3 hours before. Tix and Efendi had walked off on their own somewhere arm in arm and Sanja would have been asleep by now if it wasn't for Lauren constantly forcing her awake..

By now, lauren had sobered up significantly, and was beginning to grow tired. As the two girls walked the streets. Lauren had a bottle of wine in her hand and was flinging it around as they both walked down the abandoned like road.

"we're not gonna find anywhere Sanja, what do you want to do?"

"gimme a minute..." she whispers, sitting down on what she thought was a sea wall. The stone wall cold, and so was the breeze, a small shiver going down both of the girls spines as they looked out beyond the sea.

Lauren looks out along the water, a large patch of sand infront of the small waves. Lauren looks up to the stars, the small white dots seeming a lot brighter than she had thought.

It was a very silent night, all that could be heard was a slight clash of the waves and a few cars engines that where miles away.

"Non mi interessa Vic, che ti piaccia o no, é per il bene della band!" Lauren hears, spinning round to see The Two italians That had disappeared in the middle of an argument.

"bene! torno in albergo!" Vic shouts back, walking off towards a car that seemed to be driven by One of the eurovision staff, most likely being related to Maneskin.

"oo wait for me!" Sanja slurs, stumbling after Vic and climbing into the car with her.

Damiano spots Lauren sitting on the water wall and walks over to her, sitting on the edge but facing the other way to her, Lauren looking out to the water as Damiano looks out to the city.

"that seemed heated" she says, her voice a lot quieter than before.

The boy shrugs his shoulders, not one of them moving to look at eachother. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see him pulling out a cigarette, lighting it with ease and inhaling the dark smoke.

A comfortable silence lingers around them both for a while, Both admiring the night city sky.

Damiano spins around, facing the water with Lauren, holding out his half-used cigarette to her. She takes it in her fingers, inhaling the smoke before passing it back to him, a small grin on his face.

Lauren could now get a good look at him for the first time tonight. He was in a white shirt and back trousers, his top few buttons undone and half his Collar messed around, his hair gone from slicked back to messy, a few singular strands of hair falling over his face.

Lauren twists her body around, straddling the wall and looking at The boy.

"look at me" she says, Damiano looking at her for a few seconds, before copying her movement by straddling the Thin wall.

She edges closer to him slightly, before adjusting his collar to that it was no longer crinkled. She looks up at the boy who was looking down on her, a serious look on both of their faces as the cigarette smoke around them disintegrates.

They stay like that for a few seconds, before noticing Damianos smudged eyeliner, adjusting her height slightly to almost match his. She licks the tip of her finger and gently wipes the black smudge away from around his eye. Without noticing, her left hand had cupped just under his jawline, her right hand being used to wipe away the smudges on his eye.

The dark night had made it harder to see, Lauren looking to Damianos eyes to see he was already looking at her, removing the cigarette from his lips and throwing it onto the floor.

Her eyes were now on his lips, a slight pink tint to them as his tounge skims over his top lip, both of them rubbing together.

Her eyes return back to his, her hand still on his face, almost as if the whole world had gone into slow motion.

His face edges closer to hers, his lips going past hers and to the side of her face, just opposite her ear.

"thank you" he whispers, a slight low tone in his voice from the visual tiredness in both of them. Lauren could feel his breathe around her ear, Damiano pulling back from the girl.

He pulled back slowly, almost as if he didn't want to. Lauren decides to match the energy, by pushing her lips towards his left ear, her hands now by her side.

"anytime" she whispers, planting a soft kiss on the edge of his cheek, taking her time to remove her lips from the small area. She could feel Damiano inhale a small breathe, lauren Returning back to her place.

They look at eachother for a while longer, a large space of seriousness lingering around them.

Their both interrupted by Lauren's phone ringing, Lauren closing her eyes for a second before taking it out of her silver bag, the bright screen making her squint her eyes.

She could read on the screen her bestfriends name, a few missed messeges from the girl as well.

She presses the "accept" button, holding the phone up to her ear.

"BITCH!" she hears her bestfriend whisper shout, Lauren holding her ohone a little further back from her ear, "YOU NEED TO GET BACK, GOD IVE HAD A GREAT NIGHT"
