"What do you want to drink" my friend shouted at me over the raving music. "Surprise me" i shout back giving her a cheeky wink as she laughs and goes over to the bar. I look over at all of the insanely drunk teens jumping up and down to the music being projected by the cap wearing DJ at the front of the room. Give me 20 minutes and i'll be the same, perfect way to end my 17th birthday I'd say.

40 minutes and 10 drinks later...

"You.. are the best.. You know that" I slurred to my friend next to me, "alright thats enough for you" she said taking my arm and dragging me away, "aw what about the party" i slurred looking back at the scene. "I'm sure you can return some other time" she said bringing me out onto the street, the cold air hitting my bare arms. She sat me on the floor, "wait here I need to find James" and with that she left me going back in to find her boyfriend James.

My drunken conscious decided I wasn't finished yet so I stood up and was about to go back inside when i bumped into something sending me to the floor again. It was a tipsy guy with blue eyes and a mop of dirty blonde hair, "oh no, i'm so sorry" the slightly tipsy guy offered his hand pulling me back up to my feet. "It's okay" I slurred slapping his shoulder lightly, "right... I'm Joe by the way" he smiled at me. "Y/N" i replied, we both stood in silence "pass me your arm" he says out if the blue.

I follow his instructions and he gets out a sharpie from his back pocket and starts writing numbers on my arm. "Its nice meeting you" he says after and begins to walk away, "you to" i shout after him.

I wasn't expecting that.

Finally after 12 days I plucked up the courage to text the blurry stranger I met out side the club. I already had his contact saved on my phone but couldn't come around to actually texting or calling him incase he was too drunk to remember, saying that it's nearly been two weeks since so will he have forgotten about me? Pushing everything to the back of my mind, I type a quick text saying who i am and where we met and then pressed send before I could stop myself. I kept getting this weird sensation in my stomach.

2 minutes later my phone vibrated, Instagram notification, should of known. Looking at the notification a text comes through, its from Joe, he said hi and that he does remember me and wants to meet up somewhere tomorrow.  I text back rather quickly saying we should meets at the Starbucks near hyde park. So i texted a time and waited until it was time.

1 hour later

Walking along the path I spot the familiar mop of blonde hair and blue eyes, taking a deep breath in I approach him calmly. "Hey" i say as I get closer, his eyes flicker up from his phone screen to me, "oh hi" he says smiling at me and holding the door open as we go inside Starbucks. We get our coffees and have a nice conversation, firstly I apologise to him about my drunken night, he understands, we connect really well and he has a great sense of humour. After the drinks we walk into hyde park and joe tells me all about his career which i find extremely fascinating, while walking he laces his fingers with mine and i get the sensation in my stomach again.

It starts to get late so he walks me back to my apartment. "Thank you for today, I really enjoyed it" i said once we were in front of my door, "anytime" joe says with ease. Without thinking I go to peck his cheek but he turns his head so i kiss him on the lips. It felt right? Almost as if I been missing him from my life as clique as it sounds.

"Sorry I shouldn't hav-" joe mumbles because of my shocked face, I stop him with a kiss. More passionate. More longing. And he returns it.
