Never Been One For Goodbyes - A Josh Cuthbert/UnionJ fanfic

Chapter 3

"Oh my god JOSH!" George yelled, banging on the bathroom door.

"You boys ready yet?" I heard Jaymi's voice as he entered our room.

"No! Josh is taking 3 million years in the bathroom and I really need to wee!" George whined. Bit of an exaggeration.

"Josh stop checking yourself out, we're all waiting for you!" Jaymi shouted through the door, "George, go and use our toilet before you wee yourself."

With that, Jaymi sighed heavily and left the room, muttering something under his breath. I guess that was Jaymi's role in the group, he sorted us all out and kept us in order, even though he could be as childish as the rest of us sometimes, he managed to keep everything relatively under control. JJ was the the ditsy one, I regularly have to repeat myself multiple times for him to even register that I'm speaking, but we love him for that. George is the baby, not only is he the youngest but he's so cute. He's the most like a little brother, we're all so protective of him! He's one of those people that even if they annoy you to the point where you want to rip their head clean off their shoulders, it's physically impossible to be angry with him, he just giggles and you can't help but forget whatever it is that he's done to annoy you.

I ran my fingers through my hair one last time, winked at the mirror and left the bathroom. I got to the living room and all the boys were lounged about on the sofas, chatting amongst themselves.

"Oh he's finally ready!" JJ announced as they all hopped up off their seats.

"You almost made me have an accident." George said sternly, shooting me his evilest glare which wasn't really evil at all, in fact he just looked constipated.

"Sorry mate," I laughed, "I'll make it up to you."

We left the house and walked down to the beachfront bars, it was still light and fairly warm. The town was fairly quiet but it was only 8 o clock so there was still time for things to pick up.

"What you drinking Josh?" Olly asked from the bar.

"Just a beer please mate." I replied. I sat down between JJ and George and looked around the bar, it was pretty empty. There was a group of girls who looked about our age sitting around a table in the corner but they were all wearing so much make up and fake tan they basically looked like clones with different coloured dresses which barely covered their arses. Not my type.

The lads and I began drinking and we soon found that along with the heat and already slight over tiredness, it didn't take long until we were all somewhat pissed.

The door of the bar opened and two similar looking girls walked in, one looked familiar.

"JJ!" I smacked his arm as I realised who the girl was, "that's the girl!"

"What girl?" He asked, confused.

"The one I was telling you about from the plane!"

"It can't be," he slurred, "she doesn't have a kid."

"Of course she doesn't, we're in a bar you tit!" I said, slapping JJ's arm again, "I'm going to go talk to her."

Part of me knew that talking to Lula in my drunken state was only going to end in disaster but unfortunately that part of me wasn't controlling my actions tonight so I strolled confidently over to her.

"Lula!" I cried, throwing my arms around the girl I had only met this morning.

"Joshua?" She laughed, pulling away from me.

"You know him?" The other girl asked, with a hint of disgust in her voice.

"We met on the plane," Lula answered, "Josh, this is my sister Tara."

"Tara, hi!" I smiled with my cheesiest grin, "you have a lovely sister and your niece is also very cute. You look similar I can tell why you're sisters-"

Before I could embarrass myself any further George came up beside me and interrupted.

"Josh you're drunk," he slurred, he was no more sober than I was, "stop harassing these lovely girls!"

"It's fine Georgey!" I chriped, pinching his chin with my fingers, "these are my friends!"

"Are you going to introduce me then?" He asked excitedly.

"This is Talulah and her sister Tara."

"Wow...I mean er... Hi." George giggled, blushing as he shook Tara'a hand.

We continued chatting with the girls until well into the night, having introduced them to the rest of the boys. We found out that they were twins, Tara lives in London too but she works in spain a lot which is why she has more of an accent that Lula. The only visible difference between them was that Lula had slightly longer and straighter hair and wasn't quite as tanned as her sister.

At about 2am we decided to call it a night and go back to the apartment as we were all pretty drunk. The girls came back too and we just hung out on the balcony for about an hour until Tara left. Lula decided she'd stay for a bit longer.

When I woke up this morning I found my arm wrapped around Lula'a skinny waist, I lifted myself carefully off her and checked the time, it was 8am, there was no chance any of the boys would be up any time soon so I hopped into the shower and got dressed in the bathroom. When I came out Lula was sat on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands, she looked up as I walked in.

"Morning." I whispered with a smile, making sure not to wake George up.

"Good morning." She smiled back.

"Did you sleep ok?"

"Yes thank you," she grinned, "can I use your shower?"

I nodded and handed her a clean towel. She came out with her wet hair plaited over one shoulder wearing a pair of denim shorts and a bra.

"Have you got a t shirt I could borrow?" She asked shyly, I got the impression she didn't want to wear the same top as last night to avoid the shame of seeing anyone she knows.

I grabbed a Maroon coloured t shirt and gave it to her, she tucked it into her shorts and turned up the sleeves, she actually managed to pull it off better than I do!

"Shall we go out and grab some breakfast?" I offered. She nodded, I grabbed my keys and we headed out, shutting the door quietly so I didn't wake the boys.

Author's note; Ok so quite an uneventful chapter (again) but it will get better hehe! I'm including lula's sister Tara who is based on my best friend. I hope you're enjoying this, please leave me a comment/vote, it's always appreciated!

Lots of love xx
