"Oh, please come out, Lexie!" Charlotte begs. "No! I can't be doing with people in bars." I say. "It's just us two and I really wanna go out tonight." She looks genuinely sad and I feel sorry for her.
"For like an hour." I roll my eyes and sigh. "What about two?" She says smiling. "Don't fucking push it." I laugh. She tells me to get ready to go out. Ugh I hate this.

"This is all I'm wearing, Charlotte. We're not staying long anyway." "You look good." She says smiling.
We drive to the bar and I forget how crowded they are in London. But, London has quite cool bars.
We walk in and there's music playing. We go and get a drink but I don't have anything alcoholic because I don't like it. Charlotte obviously does though.
"Look at those guys over there, Lexie." She says looking at a group of lads. I quickly look at them and I shrug. "Lets go and talk to them." She says standing up and walking to them. "Charlotte, no!" I whisper shout even though she can't hear me as the music is too loud.
I walk after her but I can't stop her and it's too late. "Charlotte-" "Hey." She says to them and I put my head down.
The look at us and smile. "Hey, what's up?" One of them say. "Ur, sorry about her, she's just... drunk. Um, sorry again." I pull her away and I'm so embarrassed.
"You're a bitch." I say and she starts laughing which makes me laugh. We sit back down and have more drinks.
One of the boys come over. "Hey, why don't you sit with us?" He asks, shouting over the music. "Uh, you sure?" I say. "Yeah, yeah, it's fine. I'm Joe by the way." Joe says.
"I'm Lexie, and this is Charlotte." We go to their table and sit down. "This is Lexie and Charlotte." Joe says. "Hey." Charlotte says smiling.
"I'm Mikey." One of them says smiling. There's 6 of them and they all say their names. "I'm Josh." "I'm Caspar." "I'm Jack." "And I'm Conor." He smiles. Wow.
Me and Conor start talking and it ends up being about music. "So, do you like music?" I ask. "Yeah, it's my job. I'm a singer and I post some videos on YouTube of me singing." He says. "Aw, that's so cool. Do you all do YouTube?"
"Yeah." He replies. "Anyway, do you like music?" "Yeah, I love it. I don't have a job doing it, but I'd love to do it everyday." "Can you sing?" He asks. Charlotte looks at us both. "No, no I can't." I giggle.
"Ha, ignore her. She can sing." Charlotte says laughing. I look at her annoyed. Conor smiles. "Thanks for the input that nobody asked for." I say to her.
"Can you sing in front of people?" He asks still smiling. "If I'm with someone then yeah." "Come with me." He grabs my hand.
He talks to the DJ and I can't hear what he's saying. He finally turns back to me. "Lexie, do you wanna sing in here with me?" He asks.
"I'm, yeah, sure." I say smiling. He gives me a microphone and it all goes silent.
I actually don't know if I can do this.
I give him a scared look and he holds my hand. "Hey, we're gonna sing for you all and it's the first time we're singing with each other. So, uh, enjoy." He awkwardly says which I find quite cute.
We agree on a song and I fake a smile. "You good?" He whispers in my ear. I nod. He starts to sing and holy shit he can sing.
Now my voice is gonna be all crappy. I start singing too and I look at him.
He stares at me with his blue eyes. I look at Charlotte and she's making a love heart with her hands. I was gonna put my middle finger up at her but 1. I don't wanna spoil the moment and 2. There's a lot of people and it'll be embarrassing.
I just shake my head and laugh to myself.
The song sadly ends and I put the mic down. "Oh my god, you're so good at singing." Conor says laughing. "So are you!" I smile.
"You need to come to the studio with me." He says and all the guys and Charlotte come to us. "Ay, you two were really good." Charlotte says smiling.
They all talk to us about it.
"Lexie, we said we were gonna stay here for an hour, it's been four." Charlotte laughs. "Shit." I mumble. "Well, tomorrow, give me a call and you can come to my house." Conor says with a smirk.
I give him my number. "Thanks." He says. "No problem." "I just wanna say you're very pretty." He looks down.
"Awww." I hear Charlotte say behind me. I kick her and the 'awww' is soon followed by an 'ow'.
"Thank you." I say to Conor and I feel myself blushing.
Me and Charlotte get out of the bar and the cold air instantly makes me shiver. My phone pings and I look at it.
