scarletladams: thank the lord it's Saturday 🙌🏼
A week had passed since Scarlet and Erling had returned from Marbella and they hadn't seen each other since.
A midweek game meant Erling was so busy with training and flying back and forth that he barely had the opportunity to text Scarlet.
Scarlet hated to admit how much she missed him, and she certainly didn't intend on telling him. His messages were flirty and he was interested in how her day had been when they spoke every evening, but it didn't seem to go any further than that.
Sasha had invited Scarlet to accompany her to a PR evening with a clothing brand. They were at a swanky club in Manchester and had both drank more than they had intended to when arriving.
The girls were sat in a booth and had been joined by a group of lads, all in their late twenties. They looked like they had money and were very confident in themselves, cockiness oozing from them as they spoke.
"So we know you're taken by that complete and utter douche bag Grealish." The largest of the lads spoke, gesturing to Sasha.
"But you..." He turned around to face Scarlet, a mischievous grin across his tan skin. "Are you on the lookout for love?"
Scarlet smiled nervously, wishing they had lied when the guys had asked if anyone was sat with them.
"No, definitely not searching for love at the club." Scarlet replied.
"Well they do say the best things come when you're not expecting them." He scooted across so he was next to Scarlet, reaching his hand to rest on her thigh.
Scarlet's breath hitched. His hand was large and he wasn't unattractive, but he certainly didn't make her feel the way Erling did when his hand was there. And anyway, his arrogance was a massive turnoff to her.
Unbeknown to the girls, Erling and Jack had just entered the club in a bid to surprise the girls. They scanned the room for the girls and when Jack pointed towards them, Erling felt his heart rate increase and his jaw clench when he spotted this man sitting so close to Scarlet.
To him it looked like she was laughing and joking away, when really she was answering his questions with the bare minimum, at this point just wanting to head home.
"Oh mate, who the fuck are they?" Jack said to Erling, his eyes still burning through Scarlet who hadn't yet spotted him.
"Fuck knows. Scarlet looks like she's enjoying their company though. I mean, she's practically sat on his lap." Erling replied as the two of them took a seat on a pair of stools at the bar.
