LUCY POV
Today was Hannah's 25th birthday. Quarter of a century. We were having a night out to celebrate, all of us. It had been two weeks since Joseph and I confessed our feelings to each other. First event with the group since then. We were both shitting bricks about it. We didn't want to upset Camille, or David being Ollie's brother. Everyone had insisted they were fine but we hadn't seen anyone since our revelation to everyone two weeks ago.
We'd probably skipped about 17,000 relationship steps since we were already living together with a baby. But life was constantly throwing the unexpected at us.
I was putting a pair of earrings in my earlobes, standing in the walk in wardrobe in my bra and knickers when Joe walked in to get my opinion on his outfit.
"Darling what do you thi-.....fuck". He looked me up and down with a smirk on his face. I raised my eyebrows at him as I finished putting in my second earring. "Yes? You need something?" He crossed to me in two quick strides. "You wanna stay in tonight?" I snorted at him as one arm went around my waist and the other cupped my face.
"Quinn you need a cold shower." His mouth dropped in fake horror. "Joseph! It's Hannah's birthday!" I planted a kiss to his jaw before shoving him off me and pulling my dress of a coat hanger, dragging it over my head.

"Legs. Lucy legs!" "Yes Joseph I have legs." "No darling you have THE legs! Those things are a weapon!" I laughed at him and kept checking myself in the mirror, fixing my air and checking I hadn't smudged my makeup. He walked up behind me in the mirror and yanked my head to the side giving him access to my neck, his other hand splayed against my stomach holding me tight against him. I could feel his excitement pressing in to me.
"Mmm you smell so good too." He kept pressing kisses to my neck and I almost gave in but then my phone dinged letting me know our Uber was outside. "God dammit!" He cursed but sighed and let me go but quickly pressed a kiss to the top of each boob and then one on my lips. "Let's go. The sooner we get out of here the sooner I can get you home again."
We climbed in to the Uber and made our way to The Ivy where we were meeting everyone for dinner. Both of us quiet now as we were so nervous. We held hands the whole way but let go as we approached the door to the restaurant. Neither one of us wanting to rub it in Camille or David's face that we had somewhat moved on. Especially not David. I hadn't actually seen him in the flesh since Joe and I became a couple. How was he going to react knowing I was trying to move on from his brother? Was it too soon?
I had a million thoughts whirling through my mind as we neared the restaurant entrance. Joe suddenly grabbed my hand again and pulled me to a stop. "Luce wait. Just remember I love you. It's all going to be ok". He planted a quick kiss to my forehead and I gave him a nervous smile before he let go of my hand again and we entered the restaurant. We saw the gang instantly sat around a large table and made our way over to them.
