"Vanessa? I swear I've heard that name before." He thinks to himself. "I can't for the life of me think where."
"Weird. I don't know any other Vanessa's." I shrug.
"Anyhow, can I pour you another drink?" He offers.
I accept politely taking the full cup from him once he's done. "Thankyou."
"Anytime. Can I just say, you're looking beautiful tonight." His comment causes me to blush.
"Thanks Barry." I brush a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Yoo, Countryclub!" Barry announces someones arrival.
I look up to see who country club is.
Rafe.
"Yo Barry." He greets Barry nervously. I can tell he is nervous from his body language and facial expressions.
"Have you met beautiful Vanessa? Vanessa this is my boy Rafe." He introduces us not knowing we are already aware of each others existence.
"Yeah we've met." Rafe nods trying to meet my eyes but I stand firm and don't look at him.
"What can I do for you country club?"
"Actually I need to talk to Vanessa." I roll my eyes at his request.
"You need to talk to my girl Vanessa? No problem. Eyy, Vanessa. I'll be about, see you around." He winks before nodding at Rafe and leaving the two of us stood alone.
"Nessa-"
"What do you want Rafe?" I interrupt him irritably.
He sighs defeatedly. "Why was you talking to Barry?" Is the first thing he asks me.
I look up to meet his eyes. "Why do you care!"
"I don't, I just-" he stops.
"Just what, Rafe?"
"Where's your friends?"
"Around somewhere, they've all had too much to drink." I shrug knowing everything will be fine with the Pogues tomorrow morning.
"I'm sorry okay." He blurts out as if he'd been holding it in since he got here.
"For what?" I ask prying at him but knowing he probably meant his unnecessary input in the argument minutes ago.
"For what I said about you." He doesn't tear his eyes away from mine. My heart jumps at his words.
"It's fine." crumbling at his words.
"Do you like JJ?" The words fall from his lips and he looks shocked at himself.
"What?" I laugh. "No way! Me and JJ are just friends." He nods with a sigh of relief. "Why?" my question catches him off guard.
"Just wondering." He shrugs nonchalantly.
"So?"
"What." He can't help the small grin that escapes his lips after seeing my contagious smile.
"Countryclub? That's new." We both let out a small laugh before noticing Topper and Sarah stood right in front of us making out.
We both look at them and back at each other. His eyes flutter down to my lips and then back up to my eyes. It's like we're in our own bubble all the noise drowned out but the thudding of my heart beat in my ears. My palms grow sweaty as my stomach does a routine of flips. His eyes fall back down to my lips as he slowly leans down-
"Yoo, Rafe. I've been looking for you bro!" Kelce's voice causes us to jump apart.
My cheeks burn red whilst Rafe runs his hands through his hair.
