Y/N p.o.v

"WE LIKE TO DRINK WITH Y/N, CAUSE Y/N IS OUR MATE, AND WHEN WE DRINK WITH Y/N SHE GETS IN DOWN IN 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1"
my group of friends cheered around me as I downed my first half pint of the night. Downing it in 7 seconds and holding the empty glass against the top of my head in victory. The pub was in full swing, tunes blaring out of the old dusty jukebox, a game of darts played by various older men each with a beer in hand. The stools were full in front of the bar and the faint smell of cigarette lingered around the air from outside.

"NEXT ROUND ON ME" My friend announced to the girls as she left to order at the bar. This is gonna be a fun night.

~ Many pints and drunken cheers later ~

I had just finished my 6 pint and was only now beginning to feel the buzz. Looking around the crowded pub, I spot two guys playing a game of pool in the corner. This could be interesting.

Without even consulting my drunk happy friends, I walk over to the boys who were just about finished with their game.

"Hello boys" I smiled, they both glanced up. Whoah they were more attractive than I had expected,
"Hey" the shorter one responded before potting the black ball.
"Ah man" the other sighed, taking a sip from his beer and placing it back on a table.

"Could I interest both of you in a game?" I asked innocently, they didn't look like they were from around here so the might not know of my luck with pool.
"Sure, but two against one hardly seems fair" the smaller one replies,
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that" I smirk, retrieving a cue from the wall.

"I'm Y/N by the way" I wave,
"Joe" the smaller replies,
"Byron" the other waves.

I pay the pound for the balls and Byron sets them up.
"Wanna make this interesting?" I say walking to Joes side,
"I'm listening"
"£20 I win" I say with a sly smile.

"We wouldn't want to just take money off of you" Joe sounded confident. This sparked interest from one of the regulars, Phil who had seen me win time and time again at this game.
"I wouldn't be so sure" Phil walked past and patted Joe on the back, sitting near so he could watch.

"It's my offer" I smirk, taking a £20 out of my back pocket.

"Alright your on" Joe agrees, placing his own £20 onto the table

*Time skip to end of the game*

"And that is how you do it" I smirk claiming the money from the table. We had earned ourselves a crowd throughout the game, who had watched intently as I beat both boys.

"Guess i'm just lucky" I shrugged as I watched both men stare at me in shock.

"We were just going easy on you" Byron defended,

"Yeah? How about another £20 to prove it" I grinned. Joe placed his cue back on the wall, shaking his head with a goofy smile.

"Up to you buddy but i'm out" Joe patted Byron on the back. I could tell Byron was thinking it over before he reluctantly placed his cue back on the wall in defeat.

"To the queen of pool" he turns and bows his head towards me, i do a little mock curtsy in return.

"Now, would you two like a drink, my pocket just recently got a little heavier" I smiled at the boys, to which they both rolled their eyes.

"Pints it is then" I laughed, going over to the bar and ordering our drinks. Walking back over with three pints in hand I notice the boys sat chatting at a table not to far away from the bar. I also wasn't sure if my friends had noticed me missing... eh well.

"So what are you lads doing in Ireland?" I ask setting the drinks on the standing table.

"Oh we have been travelling Europe for around 3 months now, Ireland is our last stop before heading back home" Joe answers taking a sip of his beer.

"Well then, we better make the last night count" I smile mischievously,

"which one of you lucky lads fancy a dance with yours truly?" I giggle definitely buzzed from the beer.

The pub had become more rowdy as it progressed into the night, but being a local I knew how to change that around in an instant. Before letting either of them answer me, I walk over to the juke box in the corner and put on Ed Sheeran's Galway Girl. The whole pub erupted into cheers, mainly from my group of friends who had already begun to dance.

"How fitting" Bryon smirked,

"Come on then" I held my hand for one of them to take.

"After you mate" Byron shoved Joe towards me and I took his hand before he could escape. He laughed as I brought him to the 'dance floor' which was just a bit of space in front of the bar.

"She played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an english man, kissed her on the neck then I took her by the hand said baby I just want to dance" Joe sang as he pulled me closer, laughing as we danced.

"Your a good singer" I shout over the music, to which he winked and spun me around pulling me back to him.

My vision began to turn hazy and I knew Joe had had a one too many pints as well.

"Kissed on the neck" I sang as Joe naturally pecked my neck,

"Took her by the hand" I continued as Joe grasped my hand again.

"SAID BABY I JUST WANNA DANCE" Everyone cheers around us,

"your my pretty little Galway girl" joe mumbles just loud enough for me to hear.
