Guys-night-out-plus-Nyx

Well, so far, guys-night-out-plus-Nyx had consisted of Travis and Nick disappearing off in the general direction of the club's bar, and Owen chivalrously (and irritatingly) hanging with Nyx.
Nyx blew a sigh. "Sucks. Every time this happens. I think it's going to be so great, then I either end up abandoned, playing mum, or both. And I bet Travis starts smoking again. Nick's going to end up doing something stupid, and we're going to get in trouble with Rachel again."

Owen chuckled. "You're a bundle of joy, aren't you? Seriously though, lighten up a little. Stop... freaking out about everyone else."
Nyx shrugged. "It's... What I do. I crack terrible jokes and freak out over things." She sighed. "Anyway... you know, if you keep staring at them like that, some magical love force will come down from heaven... and call the cops because you're being creepy. Don't stare at cute girls like that, dude. They find it weird. Either go over and talk to them or... just don't stare, okay?"

Owen blinked, drawing his eyes away from the girls at the bar. "Sorry."
"Nah, don't be. I used to be Travis's wing-woman, before I got wise to it. So I've pretty much seen it all. Seriously though, which one you looking at?"

"The blonde one with the blue fringe."
"Yeah, well... hate to break it to you, but I think she's dating the brunette."
Owen furrowed his brow. "How do you know?"
"The hand holding, the sidewards glances and the making out outside the entrance doors was a giveaway. What about that one there at the bar?"

Owen nodded, getting up to go. Then he quickly sat back down.

Nyx raised an eyebrow. "Nervous, are we?"

"Nope. Just look over there."

Nyx turned her head to where he was pointing. And broke out into a grin.

There was Travis and Nick, making out furiously in the corner of the club.

Couldn't resist! I love Travis and Nick, even though originally that's not how I planned it!
