I'll Get The Coffee

Chapter Twenty-One

"Another round" said Debbie, in more of a statement than a question as she smiled towards the table while standing with Teresa getting up from her chair too, following her own best friend like the way Liv and CeeCee do and Thea and Lucy who stand as well to head towards the bathroom.

The dress code tonight has been 'girl's night out' a chance for everyone to dress up was what Debbie had said when her and Teresa both turned up in black jeans, heels and different versions of similar silk wrap blouses. Whereas for Liv she chose to wear the new see-through stars and moon t-shirt, with a black velvet bra underneath and a dirty black denim skirt.

Teresa had once again said that she looked 'incredible' when they had met in the pub earlier, saying out loud to Debbie "our adoptive daughter looks stunning doesn't she?" as Debbie smiled, agreeing while Declan shuddered ever so slightly at the comment.

Lucy and Thea had joined them minutes later, both wearing similar style dresses, as the girls finished off their drinks. CeeCee had been hoping to see John before, Liv could tell, watching the way her eyes kept snapping back to the door whenever anyone entered, however he was working late tonight and had sent a message to the group chat to tell them all to have a lovely time.

Liv smirked as she saw Mason get fussed over by not only his mum who kissed his cheek and then wiped off her lipstick mark but then by Lucy who did the same to his lips. Thea had wrapped her arms around Declan which took him aback slightly with the vigour which made Liv laugh too, before Teresa cuddled him, calling him her 'baby boy' as Liv rolled her lips into her mouth as she approached him.

"Have the best night" Declan whispered in Liv's ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck to cuddle him goodbye "you look fit as fuck" he told her which made her laugh before she stepped back slightly, smirking.

"Thanks my baby boy" she said while pinching his cheeks the way Teresa had just done as he bursts out laughing holding up his middle finger to her as she left.

They had opted for food and drinks in All Bar One before the concert at The O2. Olivia knew it was a safer option as Celeste would eat something from there without it being too much of a fuss, or without her previewing the menu as the food options were left up to spontaneity due to the fact they couldn't book before the gig.

Celeste had opted for the Classic Cheeseburger, which Liv ordered for her, removing what she didn't want and asking if they could add bacon and cheese with coleslaw on the side, whereas Liv had opted for the Chicken and Chorizo skewers with saffron aioli and sweet potato fries.

The girls ate almost everything, especially with the fact that yesterday they both didn't eat very much, with hangovers knocking them sideways and pushing all their 'healthy eating' plans out of the window.

In fact Liv had been up early the morning before making the girls a fry up, claiming as always that grease is the only way to get rid of a hangover while 'Say You'll Be There' started playing out after 'Stop' had just finished, she thought Spice Girls might also help them through the day.

However as CeeCee had sat down at the table letting out a big yawn, only appearing after Olivia had gone down and knocked on her door whispering through 'it's time to get up Princess' she couldn't help but smile. Her normally put together best mate, who would never even dream of being late to work, was sat with her pyjama's still on, her hair scraped up on her head and no real care in the world that it was almost 8:30am and she should be well on her way to work by now.

"Celeste Cooper" she said feigning shock as she put away the tin foil into the drawer, typing something quickly on her phone, before picking up the plate of sausages and bacon to place onto the wooden table, next to fresh rolls and butter "are you going to pull a sick day?" she asks smirking as Celeste just smiles "did something keep you up last night?" she said as she sits down opposite her "or someone?" she winks " is my enigmatic best friend tucked away in your bedroom?" she adds on as she picks up her coffee, taking a sip as Celeste lets out a laugh.
