Have fun reading it <3
_____________
Lizzie's POV
I can understand y/n's view, if I were in her shoes I'd think Robbie was fictional too. On one hand I'm sad that he never comes along, but on the other hand I'm a little happy. I'd be constantly worried that he'd do something weird, which is often the case when he's had a drink.

After the bartender puts the shots on the tray, which is quite a lot, y/n brings them to the table. She takes the tray with a flourish, as if she does it often. I think I would have just dropped everything.
"That looks skillful" I say as we make our way to the others together.
"I used to wait tables"
"That makes sense" I say and grin. I love finding out new things about y/n, she's not very open with her life, especially her past, which is why I'm always happy to hear things like this.
"Shots!!!" shouts Freya when she sees what y/n has in her hand. She hands out the shot glasses and we all drink.

As soon as the first few shots were running, the first people started dancing. Something I will definitely have to do later.
"Okay, is this actually official with you guys now?" Scarlett asks as we sit in a small group with y/n, Luke, Hailee and Freya.
"Yes" Luke says and kisses Hailee. I had to grin. They both so deserved it.
"I'm so glad" I say "you look happy"
"We are" says Hailee and has to grin as she looks at Luke with that look I sometimes wish Robbie had when he looks at me.

"Okay, to Hailee and Luke" Freya says as we drink the next round of shots.
We talk a bit more as Hailee tells us about her new job. She's got the lead role in a new series, but she's not allowed to say anything about it yet. She starts filming soon.
"I'm so excited"  she says. I can understand that. I love filming too, but on the other hand I'm also looking forward to having a few months off until I have my next planned shoot. It's for Marvel, but that will take a while yet. Until then, I'm just going to enjoy my time off.

While Luke tries to squeeze more informations out of Hailee, y/n puts her hand on my thigh to walk past me.
"Thanks" she says, grinning at me as I give her a little space.
These little reassurances do something to me, I can't describe it, but they trigger a kind of tingling in me. I wish she would never take her hand away.

"Are you okay?" Scarlett asks when I realize that I wasn't there for a moment.
"Yeah, do you want to dance?" I ask, trying to get my mind off the subject quickly.
"I won't say no to that"

We make our way to the dance floor, which is already full.
The music is once again really great and Scarlett and I use every muscle to move to the music. I can feel myself getting warm. A great feeling in my opinion.
Just as I'm turning, I bump into someone. She's holding me by the waist and I recognize her touch immediately. Y/n.
"This is getting to be a habit" she says and laughs.
"I'm sorry"
"Well, at least you didn't have a drink in your hand, which was also very irresponsible of you by the way" she says suddenly.
"Hello? You were the one who spilled it all over me"
"Yeah, lucky too, who knows, maybe someone had already put something in your drink, so you could also see it as me saving you"
"Yeah yeah" I say and laugh.
"Okay, what if I make it up to you and get you another drink?"
"It's all right, you don't have to"
"But I want to" she says "I'll be right back"
I had to grin.

"Omg, you can't stop grinning" Scarlett says.
"Shut up"
Now she had to grin too.

It wasn't long before she brought me a martini. How did she know I liked it so much? Or had she guessed?

"You drank it all evening at our after-show party a few months ago, I hope you still like it" she says in my ear, as the music is so loud. Her closeness triggers something in me.

"Yes, thank you" I reply.
She can still remember.

Suddenly a familiar melody came on that I know only too well.
