VICTORIA'S POV

In walks Jon, Andrew Bloom, and Chance.

Woah.

I hate admitting the fact that my heart literally leaped when I saw Chance. He's definitely the most attractive man I've seen all night and knowing what a great personality he has just makes it all the better. I figure that I'm going to keep my eye on him tonight and do what I can to hopefully catch his attention.

As each minute passes, the restaurant begins to crowd even more and I'm pretty positive it's because of the guys being here. So far, Amara and Brady have been hitting it off immensely well and the same goes for Izzy and Drew. I'm currently standing here by myself trying to think of the best way I can approach Chance without coming off as a fan. I've gotta admit, this plan sounded a whole lot easier in my head. I see him head over to the counter with Jon and Andrew where you can order different drinks and whatnot and the gears begin to turn in my head. The whole base of the plan is to somehow show the guys that we aren't fans of them and have no idea what Boy Band is, which is exactly what I need to set in motion. I walk over to the counter the three guys are hanging out at and make sure to stand right beside Chance. Alright, let's do this.

"Hey, excuse me!" I call over the young male bartender and he comes over to me with a smile.

"How may I help you?"

"I just had a quick question. Do you have any idea why the place is so crowded tonight? It's not normal for it to be like this on a Thursday," I ask, already knowing the answer.

"There's a watch party tonight for this show called Boy Band at 8. I'm pretty sure that's why most people are here. " He explains. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Chance's attention was caught at the mention of Boy Band.

"Boy Band?" I ask attempting to come off as clueless as possible

"Yup. I haven't watched the first episode yet but from what I know it's basically a show trying to form the next big boy band. Pretty dope." He says and I nod.

"Oh, cool. I've never heard of it," I lie and by now I'm pretty sure Chance is listening in on the conversation.

"Well in about," Chris, the bartender, looks down at his watch. "Half an hour you will."

"Can't wait," I chuckle. "Anyways, can I get three Sprites, please?" I order, hoping to take two of these back to Izzy and Amara. He gladly complies and retrieves three cans of Sprite from a cooler.

"On the house for tonight." He winks and I kindly smile back. Chris is cute, but selfishly, I gotta keep my eyes on the prize.

I attempt to pick up the three cans of Sprite finding it to be a bit of a struggle. Now that I think about it, I may actually be able to use this to my advantage.

"Hey, Chris! Can I get two more of those, please?" I ask and he doesn't hesitate to slide two more over the counter.

I thank him before cramming all the cans into my arms and beginning to slowly walk, making sure to direct myself right in front of Chance. Without second guessing, I pretend to trip over myself and have all of the cans hit the ground with me not so far behind. Definitely quite embarrassing, but somehow my idea worked. Considering that I 'fell' right in front of him, Chance immediately rushed over to give me a hand.
