Odd One Out

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm on a date." George grumbled. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I live here! This is my house!"

"Well I assure you if I knew it was your house I wouldn't have come."

"And I assure you had I known you were coming I would have had you kicked out immediately." I stated.

"Vice!" Monica was hurrying over to us. "That kegs stand was brilliant."

"Thanks. I see you've brought a date. Wish you would have told me earlier. So I could have told you no."

"Wow you really know how to treat guests." George rolled his eyes.

"I know how to treat welcome and invited guests, you are neither of those." I snapped.

"I'm sorry do you guys know each other?" Monica asked.

"Unfortunately." We chorused.

Monica groaned. "Ugh, you know what, Vice it's getting increasingly harder to find guys that you haven't shagged before. Why must you be such a tramp?"

"Shagged?" I asked incredulously. "Oh gross! I would never shag George! He wishes!"

"I do not! That's the last thing I would ever want to do! Even I'm not that desperate."

"So how do you two know each other?"

"He's my boss." I grunted. "Who I thought I was going to not see until I returned to work, but of course he had to ruin that."

"Believe me I don't take pleasure in seeing you either."

"Good, I don't want to give you an ounce of pleasure."

"Vice, please don't be rude to my date." Monica said. "You're so inconsiderate."

"You brought a stranger into my home!" I exclaimed.

"He's not a stranger, you know him."

"You didn't know that!"

"Well you didn't have to kick him!" Monica whined.

"I didn't mean to." I groaned. "Anyways, I'm removing myself before George further ruins my night. Have a terrible date hm?"

"God you're insufferable." George shook his head before I walked away.

"What was that about?" Megan asked. "I didn't think you'd be that mad about Monica bringing a date."

"That's not just her date. It's George Weasley."

"Your boss is here?" Matty laughed. "Oh your luck is terrible."

"Right? Like what are the odds she brings him? At first I felt bad for whatever bloke had a date with Monica, but they're both the most annoying people I know so I hope they stay together so they don't torture anyone else." I said shaking my head.

"Just let them have an awful night babe." Lucian put his hands on my face. "Focus on me instead." He kissed me.

"You are far more interesting and hot." I grinned before kissing him again. "Oh by the way, dinner with my family tomorrow night."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Without family dinners she would have dumped you a long time ago." Megan shook her head. "I don't know how her family thinks you're good for her."

"Because I am. They know Vice and I have a real future together." Lucian informed her. "And no one cares what you think Megan."

"I'm her best friend, she'd choose me over you any day."
