28/3

Lydia's P.O.V.

My alarm goes off this morning at 8:40am. My plan was to get up, shower, get dressed, and head over to Zoe's by 9:30am, but it doesn't exactly go as planned. I end up falling back asleep and a phone call wakes me the second time. 

"Hello," I say.

"Hey Lydia, sorry if I woke you. It's Alfie, I was wondering when you'd be here?" I check the clock, swearing under my breath at the time.

"I'm so sorry, I fell back asleep. I'll just get dressed then I'll be over there."

"Okay, see you soon then." 

I hang up then phone walk over to my drawers, pulling out a pair of thin, black tights, knee-high black socks, then walk over to my cupboard, grabbing out a black dress and denim jacket, as well as my maroon booties and a black scarf. It takes me fifteen minutes to get dressed and do my makeup so by the time I arrive at Zoe's its 10:02am. 

There's a lot of people there. Zoe, Alfie, Joe, Tanya, Jim, Caspar, Zoe and Joe's parents, as well as a couple others I don't know. I walk straight over to Zoe.

"Happy birthday, you old fart!" I say, handing her my present as I pull away from the hug she sucked me into. "Are you still coming around later?" 

"Of course, you have to help me get ready." She grins at me.

The rest of the day is spent hanging out with Zoe and all our friends. By 6:28pm, Zoe and I are jamming out in my bedroom to my SoundCloud playlist. (BTW follow my playlist for this song, account is the same as Watt pad.) She's sitting on the floor in front of my as I do her makeup. Dark eye, light lips. I step back as I finish, admiring my masterpiece.

"I'm done, Zo, you can check it out now," I  smile at her as she walks to my mirror. Her eyes go wide. Shit does she not like it!

"Wow Lyds, it looks amazing! Thank you so much," Phew. "My turn to do yours." My look ends up being the opposite of Zoe, neutral eye with a dark maroon lip. The next thing we do is order in pizza. After the pizza, we both slip on our outfits. Zoe's outfit consists of a pink and black romper and classic black heels, as well as a light pink purse. My outfit is a peachy pink bodycon dress, with a similar colour heel. To go with that I wear a simple diamond necklace that I got for my birthday, as well as a black over-the-shoulder purse. By the time we've done this, it's already 7:57pm. This gives us half an hour to do our hair and get to the club. Zoe sits in front of me with her phone in her hand as I curl her hair. I end up pinning bits back to make look nicer. After that, I sit in front of her as she straightens my long locks. 

We get to the club at 8:34pm, and everyone's already there. Everyone meaning Tanya, Jim, Alfie, Caspar and Joe. My eyes almost turn into literal hearts when I see Joe. He's wearing a simple white t-shirt with black jeans, but he looks so good. We all head inside, flashing our ID's, and find a table. 

"I'll go order drinks, what does everyone want?" I offer. Everyone put in their orders and I head over to the bar. Everyone bought alcoholic drinks, with the exception of Zoe who doesn't drink. I usually don't drink but I decided to have a few tonight to celebrate Zoe's birthday. 

My plan to have a few doesn't last very long, though. By 9:51pm, I'm quite tipsy, but I'm not the only one. Joe, Jim, and Alfie are all quite drunk. I've been out on the dance floor for quite a while when Joe stumbles up behind me, spinning me to face him. His face is flushed red, a clear sign of being drunk, and a grin rests between his two rosy cheeks. 

"Dance with me, Lydia," He demands, grabbing my hand, dragging me to the outside of the dancefloor. "You know, I didn't tell you this earlier but you look really nice tonight," He says a wink following. A blush creeps its way up my face.

"Thank you, I did try," I smirk. After 3 songs and 5 more shots each, Joe and I are situated at the table with Zoe and Alfie. Alfie's a little drunk, but a lot less drunk than Joe and I. Zoe sits there with a virgin pina colada in her hands.

"Hey guys," My words are slightly slurred, but it's clear enough that everyone can still understand me.

"Hey, Lydia, sounds like you're having a good time," Zoe chuckles. We talk through two more songs when Birthday Sex comes on.

"I love this song!" I exclaim. "Come dance with me, Joe!" I grab his hand and drag him onto the dancefloor. Our bodies are pressed tightly together,and my heart thuds. His hands rest on the small of my back, just above my bum, and my hands are around his neck. I grind softly against him, and I can feel the alcohol taking over. The song ends and a slow song starts playing. We sway softly to the music and our eyes meet. Joe smiles softly at me.

"Your eyes look really nice," He says, his voice quiet under the loud music. His head starts to lean down as mine leans up, our lips meeting in the middle. At first our lips move slowly together but a mix of the alcohol and sexual tension that's been building up the past few years quickly turns the kiss into an intense one.

And the last thing I remember from that night was Joe and I kissing in the back of a cab on the way to my apartment.
