Spoken For (A One Direction FanFic)

Chapter 17.

*HARRY'S POV*

"Cheers!"

I lifted my glass towards all the others. Tonight would be a celebration for my beautiful girlfriend getting her dream job.

"Mmm. You're so pretty Harry." Virginia was slurring her speech, she's obviously had too much to drink.

"You need to take it slow babe. We've got all night to celebrate. Don't get wasted now." I advised her. Usually I'm not the one giving advice on not drinking but I wanted tonight to be special. My girlfriend just got her dream job, plus she gets to travel the world with me. For free. My life couldn't be any more perfect at this moment.

"Shhhhhh." She stumbled over to me, tripping on her own feet, but I caught her in my arms. Her breath smelt of nothing but alcohol. "Babyyy you smell so good. Like pancakessss. We should eat some pancakes." She sniffed my hair and ruffled it.

"Babe. You're drunk. We should leave. I'll make some pancakes for you at your flat if you'd like. Lets just get out of here."

"But harryyyy. I'm having soooo much fun."

"Yeah Harry. Don't be such a party pooper. Come drink with us!" Olivia winked and stumbled closer.

I looked around, desperate for some help with these drunk girls. Louis was at the table on the other side of the club. "Louis!" I screamed, trying to grab his attention, but to no prevail. Then I spotted Niall not too far away. "Niall!" I shouted. He looked towards me. Thank God he heard me.

"Can you help me out here? I need to get Virginia and Olivia out of here before they pass out or something. I was going to take them back to our flat." I pleaded, desperate for help.

"Yeah. Are we taking a cab or driving?" He asked. Well, I suppose if we took the car then the others would have to take a cab.

"We'll just take a cab. Leave the car for the rest of the boys." I said.

"Man, those girls were really hammered. Are you sure they'll be alright?" Niall asked, a trace of worry in his voice.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. They are going to have a massive hangover tomorrow morning though." I assured him. Tonight, I've noticed a small change in Niall. He seemed to have taken a liking to Olivia, Virginia's best friend.

"Hmm. I'm going to my room now. Where are you going to sleep tonight?" Niall suggested, nudging his head towards the bed with the two sleeping girls.

"I'll probably just bunk with Louis tonight. He won't mind." I answered, my voice becoming fainter and fainter to the retreating figure. I walked to my now full bed and leant over Virginia.

"Goodnight love. " I pressed a light kiss to her forehead, causing her to stir momentarily before beginning to snore again.

I snuck out of the room and towards the kitchen. I was famished. Grabbing the pancake mix from the pantry, I turned on my stove and began to make the mix.

While making my first pancake of three, I heard a noise behind me and I assumed Louis and the others must have gotten home. My assumption proved to be wrong when I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"Mm. Smells good."

"Virginia, I thought I put you to bed already?" I chuckled as she nibbled on my neck with her arms laced around me.

"I heard you leaving the room and then smelt pancakes. I told you I wanted pancakes!" She said jokingly.

I flipped the pancake, a tough job when Virginia's arms were still wrapped around me. "Baby. I'll make you a pancake but then you have to go to bed. We both have work tomorrow morning. I've got an interview with Ryan Seacrest and you've got to help us." I gently reminded her.
