ONE TEMPTATION || [L.P]

Drunk

(Aprils pov)

I was currently sitting outside with Nora, she was tapping the carton of cigarettes in between her fingers, I had my arms drapped around my bare legs, my zip-up oversized hoodie covering just over my thighs.

My braided hair slowly fell over my shoulder as I took the carton off of her, opening it and taking out a cigarette.

"What's up with you then?" Nora asked, as she held a red lighter out infront of me lighting it for me.

I leaned forward, to light my cigarette before pulling back, taking the cigarette out of my mouth, letting the smoke filter out.

"Nothing.." I mumble quietly, holding the cigarette between my index and middle finger, before bringing it back up to my lips once more. "Jus' tired." I hummed.

A few hours later

I found myself backstage once more, ready for the third and final night in Miami, I was adjusting the strings on my guitar as I sat on the black sofa, until I felt a figure above me.

What the fuck was I supposed to say to her? God. My mouth moved before my brain did.

"Hi — Uhm — uh — you look — good.." I mumble quietly, stumbling over my words, spilling out at me at a quick rate.

I notice her eyebrow raise and a small sudden smile appear across her red lips — she was so gorgeous.

"Didn't mean to sound creepy — can I sit?" I gestured towards the small space beside her, I took note of her nod and slowly sat down beside her. She still hadn't said anything.

"Everything okay? Uhm I wanted to ask, if you want to go for drinks later? Not just you — everyone, Ezra .. Nora and the other one." I smiled cheerfully towards her.

I could remember the other guys name..

"You know I'm not legally allowed to drink here, right?" I raise my eyebrows towards him, my arm slowly resting on my electric guitar before I set it down beside me.

"I don't know if it's a good idea—" I start to make up excuses. It's not like I didn't want to go, trust me I did. I just didn't want to get into trouble, or worse, get them in trouble.

I noticed his slight frown. "How about we bullshit your way in, then?" He began, his pinkie finger slowly grazing beside mine, my heart fluttering slightly.

"I.. okay.. I'll get Nora to sort me out.." Was the only words that escaped my mouth before I could stop them, I quickly pulled my hand away, looking down at my guitar.

Then suddenly, he was called for.

"I should get going, see you on.. stage?" Liam sighed, before quickly turning to give me a smile.

Before I could answer he'd already taken off. What had I gotten myself into??

After the show

(April's pov)

I was sitting in my hotel room with Nora — I was dreading drinking, especially near Liam. I knew how I could get if I was drunk, I definitely had to watch myself tonight.

I sighed, looking at the black straighteners on my table, shaking my head before grabbing them and plugging them in. "Fuck it.."

I pushed back my now long straightened hair behind my ear, biting my inner lip as I heard Nora's loud voice — she was clearly attempting to sing some sort of song, yet I wasn't going to break it to her.
