I don't recall Lauren having another drink the entirety of our time on the dance floor. In fact I don't think she ever actually had that much. I wouldn't let her drive, and I wouldn't let a few of the girls drive home either.

"Ellie! In the car!" I shouted towards the blonde, who was staggering out of the bar. Roebuck glanced at me, then joined Georgia in the back of my car. Both giggling at something the blonde had said. Lauren slid in the passenger seat, only just slightly more sober than the two in the back. I turned the radio on, and G and Ellie managed to butcher every single word to Katy Perry before we'd even left the car park. I dropped over Georgia first making sure she was in the house with her boyfriend and safe before driving off. Ellie was next, her roommate happily took her off my hands. And then there were two, the radio finally got turned down, Lauren lived much closer to me than either of the other girls did. So it was just us in the car for a while after dropping them off. We made conversation, it wasn't awkward and Lauren wasn't slurring anymore. So that was a good sign.

"Oh god I'm gonna have a headache in the morning." Lauren sighs, placing her head in her hands. I chuckle at the girl,
"Chug some water, take a few paracetamol and sleep. You'll be fine."
"Urgh. I hope so. Why do I do this to myself?"
"You were having fun. Anyway, at least you've sobered up enough to realise where you went wrong."
"Oh I know exactly where I went wrong." She starts, "the shots."
I stifle a laugh, "eh I can't fault you there. If I wasn't driving I would've joined you."
"Yeah but then how would I have got home?"
"Taxi? Or sleep at the club."
Lauren pulled a face, but it quickly turned into a chuckle.
"You know. I still can't quite believe it." Lauren chuckles,
"Believe what? That we won."
"hm, yeah."
"Well you better believe it. Cause it sure as hell happened. My ankle knows that and so did everyone at Wembley."

We arrived at Lauren's flat and I pulled infront of it, taking my belt off to walk the girl in.
"I'm okay." She laughed, uncliping her seat belt, "Thank you though."
"Of course." I replied warmly, Lauren's eyes caught mine in a way they had hundreds of times before. But something felt different. I leaned in quickly, not giving myself chance to back out, and connected my lips with the blondes. The first few milli-seconds were agonisingly slow, but when I felt the pressure of the girl kissing back I immediately relaxed. I placed a hand on the side of her face. And pulled away slowly, resting my forehead against hers. She took a minute to regain her breath,

"Finally." She whispered, laughing slightly. Keeping my hand by her chin I pulled my forehead away. I tilted my head, "I've been waiting a while for you to do that."
"Why didn't you-"
"Oh absolutely not. I don't have the balls for that kind of thing." She giggled, messing her hair up nervously. She placed a hand on my upper thigh, tracing circles with her thumb. I glanced down at the pressure on my leg, going slightly red myself.
"You seem to be handling yourself just fine." I smirked,
"Trust me. I'm not."
"Let's see if we can change that, hey?" I leant in to kiss the girl again, moving my hand around to the back of her head as if to pull her even closer. All the longing and passion in the world was thrown into this kiss. She moved her hand that was on my thigh just slightly upwards but it was enough to send a shiver up my spine. I felt her smirk into the kiss and that just made me even more flustered. When Lauren finally did pull back, mostly in order for me to catch my breath, she was handling herself much better.
"You're so gorgeous." She whispered, her comment made me fold, I locked eyes with her,
"Are you gonna remember this in the morning?" I chuckled, trying to diffuse my flustered state with humour,
"Of course." She smiled softly, "I promise."
"Just know if you break a promise we cant be friends anymore,"

She leant forwards and kissed me once more, a quick kiss that left my lips tingling and my head longing for more. She moved her hand away from my thigh, "Then it's a good job I don't break promises," She smiled, "I'll see you on Tuesday beautiful."
