Aries sighed, taking off her headphones, despite them being on the highest volume they would not block out the sound of Angelika and Isaac.

Aries grabbed her coat and a tenner off the kitchen side and left the house, she couldn't bare to hear Angelika fake an orgasm again. She walked down the road to her favourite Chinese place. It was busy for a Friday night but that means she got to wait longer to place her order. Once she did she took a seat in the waiting area.

"I promise I am not stalking you."

Aries looked up and saw Leo. She smiled at him. "Are you sure?"

"Positive," he said, "I was just picking up my order." He held up a bag full of hot food, she noticed a silver wedding band on his ring finger.

"Yeah same, I needed to get out of the house. Because Angelika has a 'friend' round."

"Angelika? You two are friends now?"

"Yeah, she just needed a few years to warm up to me, she actually moved down here with me. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without her. Except now, she's annoyed me."

"I guess it's a special friend."

"Very special considering  she won't shut up about him."

"Order 12?"

Aries walked towards the counter and picked up her food. She followed Leo out of the restaurant.

"So what are your plans for this fine evening?" Leo asked.

"Well I am probably going to go home, ignore the sounds of banging and mark some homework, I guess. You?"

"Well that sounds exciting, but I think I win, because I have the house to myself because Daisy decided that she wanted to stay at her nan's because she has a tv in the guest room, so I rented out a movie and that's my evening sorted."

"I think you do win." Aries agreed.

Leo paused then turned towards her. "Would you like to join me?"

"Oh, I wouldn't want to impose."

"You wouldn't be, trust me." he shook his head. "Plus I ordered extra spring rolls which I probably won't finish and I've got a bottle of wine I've been meaning to open."

Aries debated it, she really didn't want to go back to her house for at least a couple of hours. "Alright then, what movie did you rent?"
