you know that I could use somebody, someone like you

The following Friday, I wake up from an after-work nap to my ring tone. The caller id reads Ethan, so I answer. We've texted a little bit and we clicked pretty quickly, so did Kristina and me.
"Hi, Eve! how are you?" he greets happily. I smile at his tone.
"I'm okay, thanks. How are you?" I respond. He hums for a solid few seconds.
"I'm good, but you know what would make me better?" he asks playfully. I shake my head at him.
"What would, Ethan?" I play along.
"If you came to the club with us tonight," he says quickly. I frown.
"Who's us?" I question. He shuffles for a second.
"Me, Kristina, my friend Ryan and his girlfriend, my friend Deon and his boyfriend, and Grayson" he answers. I shift.
"I'm not good with people," I tell him honestly. He chuckles.
"That's okay, I'll be there. So will Grayson and Kristina" he says kindly.
"So, what do you say?" he questions after a moment of silence. I hesitate. I don't want to see Grayson again, I'm embarrassed that he had to see me like that.
"You sure they're okay with me going?" I confirm. He scoffs.
"Of course they are, especially Gr-" he starts, but a smack cuts him off, followed by him cursing. Did someone just hit him?
"Especially who?" I question, confused about who he would be talking about.
"Nothing, I'm just fucking around, I'll pick you up at nine?" he giggles. I smile at the high-pitched sound.
"Okay," I agree. He cheers loudly.
"Fuck yes, see you!" he says loudly. He hangs up before I can change my mind.
I curse to myself. I just agreed to go to a club. I hate clubs.
