"I thought it was weird when you hugged him," Aurora continued as she turned over onto her front causing her to have too switch hands, "I can't believe you didn't tell me! Or that I didn't catch onto the Charlie thing, I mean."

She could hear Millie giggle as she reminisced, "If I'd of told you then it wouldn't of gone well. It never does." This was very true - so Aurora only hummed in agreement, "Anyway tell me about Lando. From when we left you to now."

She blew a raspberry as she prepared herself to explain the night she vowed she would never forget, "Well, buckle your seatbelt Mil,"

"It's buckled."

"So, we were on our own at the booth and we'd both just finished our drinks. We were laughing at the rest of them all dancing on the dance floor when he asked me..."

"Rory?" Lando's voice pulled Aurora out of her state of amusement as she watched Pierre attempt the dirty dancing lift with Yuki, "You wanna get out of here?"

Aurora knew what that meant and she felt her face blush at the thought of it. As much as she had drunk a lot more than she had planned too, her liquid luck levels were definitely not high enough for that. It wasn't that she would need to be drunk for it due to bad reasons, rather she would need it for the confidence due to how hot he is.

So she played it of as she looked to the side to pretend to be in thought, "I don't want to call it a night yet." She saw the embarrassment at her denying his offer which made her want to mentally, or physically - or both - slap herself, "But we could go find another bar. Just us two?"

His face noticeably lit up at the confirmation that she didn't hate him, and he smiled widely as he nodded, "After you." He said as he lifted his hand pointing out of the seat.

The pair wandered over to the group, and bid their goodbyes. All complaining and groaning about their departure. She did try to find Will but he wasn't anywhere to be seen so she told Carlos to tell him she was leaving. Throughout the conversation, Lando kept his hand on the small of her back even as he shook his friends hands. They were like a couple - like a proper couple.

It was very cold outside. Stupidly cold as the two strolled down the busy streets ; now and again their hands would bump against each other as they laughed and talked. The night was bustling with all sorts of people who were all too drunk and happy to care about anything. It mesmerised Aurora, just in the same way Aurora did Lando. So as she stared at passers by so enchanted, he stared at her in the same enchantment. 

They passed many pubs, and many clubs. But they continued. It was as if they didn't see them, like anything but the other person was a blur. The conversation flowing freely between them - her arm now interlocked with his as she complained about the cold.

Lando only laughed as he pulled his arm away, by instinct almost, causing Aurora to make a noise of sulk, "Here," He said as placed his jacket around her figure which also pulled her into his side, tucked in under his arm. And there she stayed, nuzzled into his side and under his arm.
She grinned up at the boy who was already looking down at her, "Thank you." He only nodded back and continued on their previous conversation.
