Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Thirteen

Conor's P.O.V

"So guy's I've got a plan"

We were having a boys night in at Joe's, catching up and reliving the old times when the girls wasn't around, when we were still young and carefree.

"Oh shit guys Conor Maynard's got a plan for once!"

Joe scream excitedly to his camera, making everyone else turn around to face me, they all wanting to know what's going on.

"So, it's to do with Jess's birthday next week"

Jack rolls his eyes and go back to his phone.

"I thought it was going to involve us and if it don't then I won't care"

I slap his upper arm playfully and he look at me slightly annoyed.

"Stop interrupting, I haven't got to the point yet and if you're interested it is involving all of us"

Oli sigh from the other side of the sofa, leaning further down in his seat.

"Come on just tell us then"

I make myself comfortable by crossing my legs.

"So I was thinking about me, Jess and of course Leonelle going on a holiday somewhere to celebrate her but then I thought why not bring you lot along too, the girls can of course come with, we just need to decide on a place to go"

Everyone apart from Joe looks at me with excited smiles plastered all over their faces. He'd been seeming a bit off lately but he always said everything was alright and that I shouldn't worry about him, I was worried though, I had always been the one who worried about my friends and family.

"I say we go to Antarctica"

Mikey smile proudly after he's given his suggestion.

"Jess complain about London being cold in the summertime, do you literally think she would survive where it's like minus thirty degrees Celsius?"

I roll my eyes at my friend's stupidity, Mikey could be so thick sometimes, it literally surprised me how little he understood in certain situations. I had to talk to him as I talked to Leonelle for him to get what I meant.

"Speaking of girlfriends by the way, Merissa talked to the girls about maybe having a girlyday anytime soon but she couldn't get the hold of Brit, when is she coming over next time Joe?"

Joe frown as he hear Caspar naming his girlfriend in the conversation he'd been staying distant from the past minutes.

"Eh... I mean, I don't really know, she's been quite busy lately"

Caspar rise his eyebrows and look over at his friend, waiting on another answer that never comes, instead Joe just stays quiet, continuing to stare at the floorboards.

"Eh, okay let's continue, anyone else who's got a suggestion"

I look around the group once again, waiting for someone to say something.

"How about South Africa, Jess always talks about how she wants to go back there and show everyone where we grew up, it would be easy for you as both me, Jess and Caspar know practically everything about the country"

Caspar nod encouraging towards Josh.

"That would be so fun, we could show you around Knysna and Capetown, oh god I'm so excited right now"

Josh and Caspar get lost in their discussion about what to do and where to stay, like they've already decided.

"Okay, order guys, is everyone fine with going to South Africa then? And for your own interest, I'll be paying for the flight tickets"
