Yorkshire's Finest ((L.S))

Chapter 12 🫖

Louis POV

It was the 1st December, "we can finally put the decoration up." Anne hurrying to the office to get the tree and other items, taking them into the shop.

"I'm trusting you guys" placing a tin of chocolates on the counter and putting on the Christmas cd that was brought out each year.

We had closed the shop an hour early and they had both insisted on staying late to dress the shop.

"Right I'll see you both tomorrow, have fun" I left them both singing Christmas songs and tucking into the chocolates.

I had a night out arranged with the boys, this was our Christmas night out which we arranged every year.

We met in the usual place, 'The Ox' wearing our Christmas jumpers. this was the rule, Zayn with a reindeer, Liam  a snowman and Niall had Mr and Mrs Claus in some.. let's say precious positions. Myself opting for a Christmas tree that had flashing lights. 

We struggled to arranging the date this year, Zayn was to visit family, myself busy with the shop. At least we had managed a date in December so we didn't look too daft.

The beers flowed, the pub busy with people starting to get into the Christmas spirit and the music festive and load.

"Let's move on," Niall shouted over the music as he finished is pint.

We decided to walk to the next bar. There's four bars between The Ox' and the town centre, planning to stop in each.

We arrived at the next bar, the place was packed and load. "Karaoke" Niall shouted, "we gotta get up." Running over to grab a book and a slip of paper. "I've not drank enough to get up just yet" I pleaded, but this fell on deaf hears. Niall running back with the paper and handing it to the guy stood with the microphone.

"What are we singing" Liam asked as he looked at Niall a little nervous. "Its a surprise" Liam rolled his eyes In response before turning to the barman ordering four beers an four shots. "I think we'll need those."

We made our way to one of the empty tables

"Up next we have Niall and the Christmas elves"

"Are you joking?" Zayn rolled his eyes at a giggling Niall. "Come on guys" I got up feeling slightly embarrassed though I should have known Niall would have done something stupid. I just hoped that the song wasn't too bad.

We got up to cheers, looking very ridiculous in our Christmas jumpers. Taking a deep breath dreading the song choice he could have made.

Luckily he'd done good, we just needed to try not to ruin it.

"I used to rule the world"

We started off a bit ropey but soon got into it, the shots had definitely helped

"I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman Cavalry choirs are singing.."

Everyone dancing and singing along.

The song finally came to an end taking a bow and leaving the stage dragging Niall behind whom was encouraging the cheers.

"That was fun, but no more" directing my comment and the blond haired lad who was already looking back through the book.

We decide to stay put, dancing and singing along to the other singers. Some good some pretty awful but each entertaining.

Last orders rang out, we were no way near ready to go home. We decided to make our way into town where the bars would be open into the early hours. All four of us pretty drunk by now and the fact that I was working tomorrow was the last thing on my mind.

We made our way to the bar, ordering our drinks before heading to the dance floor. We were dancing terribly but we was having a great time and didn't really care.

"I'm heading to the loo" making the boys aware before stumbling around the busy room looking for the men's toilet.

"Hey, you're the guy from the karaoke" looking up as a hand grabbed my shoulder. "You was really good" he continued. I thanked him politely as I carried on to relieve myself.

Walking back to meet the boys I was stopped again. "What's your name" it was the same guy who had stopped me before. "erm Louis" I replied. I was feeling the effects of the alcohol and needed to sit. So when he suggested to sit for a while it seemed like a good idea. "I'm Luke by the way " introducing himself,  I'd seemed to have forgotten to ask.

We spoke for a while, he was actually really nice. "What are you drinking?" He asked as he went to get himself and drink. I was drinking vodka and coke, feeling far too full from the larger.

We sat and chatted some more before we were joined by Liam, Zayn and Niall. "We're ready to leave" they shouted over the music. We're gonna grab a taxi if you're ready?"

I wanted to go but I was also enjoying the company.

"I'll stay a little longer, I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow."

"Are you sure Lou? We can stay longer if you like"

I didn't need them hanging around just to wait for me, I was in good company.

"I'll only have one more and will make my way home. It's fine honestly, you guys get home."

After making sure that I was totally happy to stay they said their goodbyes and left to get a taxi.

I did only stay for one more drink, but waking up with Luke the next morning was when I realised that I may have just thrown away the best thing to ever happen to me away.

What have I done?
