Alex froze.

'Boyfriend? A boyfriend? She has a fucking boyfriend?' he thought to himself.

"O-oh!" he stuttered. "Yeah, okay, tha-that's cool, that's nice, yeah!" Alex's voice shook as he felt his face turn beet red.

"Mhm," Ida looked down, "haven't seen him in a while, keeps saying he's too busy with exams and shit like that."

There was an awkward pause - something that hadn't happened between the two of them until now.

Alex cleared his throat. "Ya must be excited to see him n'all, he seems nice," he looked for the nearest bottle of alcohol, "Y'know, coming down to see ya."

'He seems like a dickhead, like a proper wanker. It's not even exam season.'

"Jimmy's alright I guess." Ida shrugged in response.

'Jimmy? What kind of name is Jimmy? Such a shit name.' Alex thought.

He needed something to distract himself with. "Want another drink, love?" He asked as he spun around, walking back over to the drinks.
It wasn't fair. He wanted to kiss her and hold her like she was his.

"Yes please, Al."
