Bar Soho, Covent Garden. 7:05pm
"Anywhere here mate will be great thanks" Marcus said, directing the taxi driver and then handed him a note after checking the meter. "Keep the change"
"Thank you very much!" The driver responded gratefully.
"Cheers mate," both of the lads said as they jumped out the taxi and into the building. As they approached the double doors leading to the function room the party was being held in, they could feel the floor vibrating from the loudness of the music. "And you thought my music was too loud!" Alfie jovially pointed out.
"What you drinking mate?" Marcus enunciated, shouting over the music as they reached the bar.
"Bottle of Budweiser would be great"
Marcus managed to get them a couple of drinks and they found a seat to which they could assess the situation. "So do you recognise anyone yet?" Alfie said, taking a sip from his bottle.
"I think that's Jack and Finn Harries over there with Caspar Lee?"
"Where? Oh there yeah. And there's Alex Day is it?"
"Yeah looks like it. Shall we start 'mingling' then?"
Alfie and Marcus shuffled over to Jack and Finn Harries who were appeared to be laughing at Caspar from a distance who was talking to a barmaid. "Alright guys, Jack is it? Finn?" Alfie said, matching the correct name to the right twin.
"Whahey correct man, first of the night!"
"Yes! how are you doing" he said shaking his hand.
"Now this is going to be awkward if you don't know who we are haha" Marcus laughed as he shook their hands too.
"Urm, Alfie from pointless blog?" Jack said pointing to Marcus. "And Marcus Butler, right?" He said pointing to Alfie, followed with a wink, purposely mixing them up. They all laughed. "Shall we get another round in boys?" Finn suggested. And so the twins went to the bar to fetch some drinks.
"Oh no we're well late, everyone's going to stare" Zoe squirmed as her and Louise scuttled towards the venue.
"This is your fault chummy!!" Louise teased followed by Zoe innocently chuckling. They tried to discretely enter the room, trying to deter any attention away from them. The place was a hive of activity, a few eyes spotted them but everyone was more into the music, drinks and engaging in conversation.
"Who's that?" Alfie questioned, discretely pointing to the door where two girls had jut slipped in.
"I've not a clue mate."
"Let's go get some drinks Lou." Zoe suggested, tugging Louise by the arm.
"I can't actually see anyone I recognise Zo."
"Nor me, feel ded out of place haha."
"We'll get talking to people in a bit, once we've got our drinks and whatnot."
8:50pm
"The Harrie's seem nice boys don't they..and Caspar" Said Marcus.
"Yeah, funny lads. Caspar is mental" Alfie agreed taking a swig of his beer. "I got Jack's number and he said the 5 of us will get together soon and do some collaborations."
"Sweet. We'll have to organise that then."
"Oh my god my legs are killing Lou, I need to sit down." Zoe said rested against a pillar.
"And me, I can't locate any free chairs."
"I wonder if them lads need them chairs over there?" Zoe said, pointing with her head. "Go and ask them!"
"Why me?!" Louise laughed.
"Because you're the strong and confident one!" Zoe grinned.
"Ohh am I now. Fine," she said reluctantly.
Louise marched towards the two lads who were sitting there looking like they were giggling at something they shouldn't. "Hi there," She said, and the two boys looked up at her. "urm me and my friends legs are really killing and-"
"Wait can I just stop you there, if you're looking for a massage I'm not your guy.. See the guy doing slut drops over there, Caspar Lee? He's your guy." Said one of them.
Louise giggled "no, we was wondering if these chairs are occupied?"
"No no, they're free!"
"Thanks, I'll take them. Cheers boys" she smiled as she went to pick them up.
"No worries, hey actually how about you come and join us?"
"Oh alright then," Louise agreed as she beckoned Zoe over. "Zo, the lads have invited us to sit with them"
"Oh okay, hey!"
"How are you doing?" One of the guys said.
"So you're Zoe, you're?"
"Louise"
"I'm Marcus,"
"And I'm Alfie. Nice to meet ya, Louise. Zoe." He nodded, Zoe especially catching his eye.
