James was in the local London bar, as George, Will and Alex had asked him on message if he was willing to get out and enjoy himself. So here he was, in a crowded bar with his grasp clutched around a fresh beer.

Strobe was lighting up the area, as he looked around for a minute before George turned to him as they sat adjacent to one another, and when James heard George's laughter a minute later, he knew he had to ask what he sniggered about.

"What's so funny G?" James asked, as George took another swig of his own beverage and indicated for James to turn to his own view, and only then did he realise what was so funny and made him chuckle himself.

The scene they were watching was Alex with his denim jacket on his frame as he danced under the bright lights that alternated on every music beat, as he sped up his pace and danced like a madman.

When Alex was just a tad bit drunk he would always just move around in some eccentric manner, just to prove his drunk state to his friends, as he then looked at George who snapped an image of the ordeal to his phone.

"That's going on Instagram. Killer photo that." James spoke, as George tilted his phone to show the interface with the picture on it.

"Yeah, surely going to get me some sweet clout." George joked, with his satirical humour, almost like the energy of his videos.

James laughed before Alex came swaying slightly up to both of them, and then started conversing with him and George, but James felt himself zone out when he turned his head for a minute, and saw a woman at the far end of the club, with a cup of drink in her hand.

You were swaying to the music that engulfed the bar with tune, and your body movements were sure fluid and somewhat enticing on the eye, as James slid from his seat and quickly took a glance to see if Alex and George were still chatting away.

To James's relief, they were still chatting shit which bought him the time to take a minute away from them, as he'd literally been stuck around with them for around an hour now, but just as he got up Will soon jogged up to them all.

"Hey Will, just gonna grab some drink from the punch bowl at the far end of the bar real fast." James spoke, as the others smiled in agreement.

"Aight James, fine with me mate, we aren't going anywhere." His friend replied, waving it off before James was off and sauntering over to the punch bowl with rum infused drink inside, and slices of fresh fruits.

Again, he couldn't help but look over his shoulder even for a brief period and see your small figure as you reached over to get some punch, and that's when he diverted his eyes and quickly snagged his own cup and used the ladle to pour some into it before placing it at an angle for you to grab.

You looked at the shifted ladle that lay in the punch, and that's when you looked up to see his hazel eyes look at you with slight purple tints from the lighting, and that's when you couldn't help but smile.

You opened your mouth briefly to try and speak to him, but as soon as you were about to, he extended his arm to you as his drink was being laid next to the bowl.

"My name's James, nice to meet you." His voice was soft, and a hint of confidence and boldness could be sensed which made you want to swoon.

"Oh, uhm my name's y/n. Nice to meet you James." You giggled, flicking some hair behind your ear and shook his hand gently before you pulled away in sync.
