fun is rare

[ lorelei's pov ]

i'm sat at the bar watching the guys play mario kart, sipping a glass of water instead on the various alcoholic drinks on the other side of the bar waiting for me a non drinker to drink.

"so harry isn't going on the trip, we were thinking of giving you the ticket. of course only if you want to go." tobi says leaning on the bar to the left side, which i wasn't turned to.

"me? in vegas? i've never even left the continent. i've never even been to a bar." i say turning to face him.

"ok well, i don't drink but i'm still going. it'll be fun i promise."

"you guys promise a lot of things."

"yeah, i know."

"alright i'll go, but on one condition."

"ok, what is it?"

"you have to cook me dinner when we get back."

"alright, deal. come on, i'll take you home so you can pack. and uh call of from work."

"oh shite that's right, i'll just tell them a family emergency case up and i won't be on for the next week. as long as i finish that cake i've been working on, tomorrow."

"so yeah lets get you home."

we wave goodbye to the guys as josh hands me a tall, skinny bag with who knows what in it.

"what's in the bag?" tobi asks opening the door of his car for me.

"no clue but it's quite heavy, and very skinny."

i slide whatever it is out of the bag, further examining it. coming to the conclusion that it's a bottle of barefoot pink moscato.

"it's wine." i say smiling to myself about it, josh knows.

"you don't drink though."

"well it's not that i don't drink i just never really got some from tesco or a bar of sorts. i don't go out tobi, i told you this."

he starts to pull out of the driveway, glancing at me every so often just to check on me i guess.

"tobi, i'm not going anywhere. you can fully focus on the road love."

he nods but continues to glance at me, just a little bit less.

"alright, this is your house right?" he asks getting out of his side to open the door for me.

"yes it is, and you're such a gentleman tobi."

"i have a reputation to uphold as being the nicest sideman."

i nod as he walks me to my door with a slight laugh at his own personality.

"well, you're doing pretty good then. i rate it."

"it's pretty late love. i'm gonna head home, i'll see you tomorrow? vegas, yes?"

"yup, vegas."

i'd like to say i'm low-key not excited, but i'm highkey nervous.
