"Can I get you lads anything?" The bartender asked as he rested his arms against the counter.

"Whiskey sour," Liam answered.

The bartender looked at me. "And you?"

"I'll have the same."

"Alright, coming right up!"

The bartender came back with our drinks and we quickly thanked him, thinking he would leave but he just stood there.

"So," he began. "Have you guys spotted any ladies yet?" He looked down at our ring fingers and chuckled. "Ah, I see you two are married men! Oooh, what's it like? Are they hella hot?"

Liam cleared his throat and asked the bartender, "What's your name?"

"Calum," he answered, grinning.

"Okay, great. Calum, can you please shut the hell up? Thanks," Liam demanded with a straight facial expression.

Calum nodded and left.

I took a swig and set the glass down. "Thanks!" I called out and Calum waved us off. 

Evelyn and Alexa came by and sat with us. Before I got to say hello, Evelyn wrapped her arms around me.

"Hey," I cooed, tightening my arms around her waist.

"I missed you," she said as she pulled away and kissed me. "Even though it's been a day. Sorta."

I chuckled. "I miss you too, baby."

She sat back and a different bartender catered to the ladies.

"What's that?" I pointed to Evelyn's drink.

"Sex on the beach," she replied, sipping her drink. "It's amazing and yummy."

"Are you suggesting something?" I smirked, teasing her a bit.

She lightly smacked my arm and laughed. "Ha-ha, funny."

I noticed two people coming near from the corner of my eye and Liam looked towards my way with a grin. Evelyn and Alexa were busy talking to each other and taking selfies or whatever they're called.

"Were you two planning on drinking without me?"

Alexa dropped her phone but Liam caught it just before it fell to the ground. They both turned around slowly before the hopped off their seats and attacked Lauren with a hug. Liam took a quick glance towards me and I nodded my head in response, smiling. We knew how much they missed each other and planned this surprise with Niall a couple weeks ago.

Niall came and hugged Liam and I also and grabbed my glass and downed the drink quickly. Rolling my eyes, I let out a laugh. "You've never changed."

"I've improved," he winked.

"Wait, what are you doing here?!" Alexa squealed, hugging Lauren once more.

Lauren scoffed, playfully. "Why? You don't want me here?"

"Shut up," Alexa giggled. "You know what I mean."

"Well..." Lauren trailed off. "Me and Niall are staying for a couple weeks."

Evelyn clapped her hands excitedly. "Yay!"

She's so cute.

"And we're going to look for a new flat," Niall chimed in.

"In London," Lauren added.

"Shut the fuck up," Alexa gaped. Everyone let out a laugh because of her choice of words.
