A Certain Romance - Alex Turner

The Meeting Place

Hi guys! It's my first time writing a fanfic, thought I'd give it a shot. Sorry if it's complete shit! I would love to get comments and feedback from you guys! thanks :)

"JENNA!!" screamed Miles from down the hall. He was dragging me to some party that I really didn't want to go to as I still had a massive hangover from the night before. But, because he's my best friend, I decided to go with him. It would just be one night right?

"I'm almost done Miles! I need to finish straightening my hair." I was wearing a black skater dress with a big blue necklace and pumps. I finally finished sraightening my hair and I was ready.

Miles rushed to the car to open my door. "Here we are m'lady" I entered the car as we both laughed. "Thanks Sir Kane."

Miles and I have been friends for almost ten years now. We met in high school and have been going strong ever since. This silly banter was usual for us.

The car ride was ok, not too long. We finally arrived and my jaw dropped.

The party was being taken place at a huge penthouse in the heart of London. Even though Miles was quite successful, he was quite humble and never splurged on unnecessary items.

"Miles, who's house is this anyway?!" Instead of answering my question, he replied with some cheeky answer of "That's for me to know and for you to find out".

Miles and I walked up to the door and were greeted by two good looking men.

One of the boys, who had short hair and an adorable smile introduced himself as Matt. The other who was introduced as Jamie had a cheeky smile and long hair.

"Hey Miles, is this your new bird?" Matt asked.

This was such a common mistake, it seemed as if everyone thought we were a couple! "Shut it Matt, you know we're only friends!"

Miles grabbed me by the waist and dragged me to meet some other people. I really needed a drink so I excused myself from a quite dull conversation and made my way to the mini bar.

I picked up a vodka and coke and took a seat down on the stool. As I turned my head to find Miles, a pair of beautiful brown eyes stared right into mine.

"Is there a name that comes with this gorgeous face?" asked a deep Sheffield accent which gave me butterflies. I felt my cheeks turn red, thank god it was dark in the room.

"oh..uh my name is Jenna.." He gave me a cheeky smile which made my heart melt. "Well Miss Jenna, I'm Alex. I'm also in a band called the Arctic Monkeys."

I knew a couple of their songs that I had heard on the radio, but I never really looked into them. I had also heard of them from Miles, since he was close friends with all of them.

From that moment on, we talked about anything and everything. Music, sports, aspirations, life stories, adventures, etc. And... we had about ten shots each.

next day - jenna pov

The bright sun came through the window and blinded my eyes. I sat up and was met with a banging headache. I turned around to grab my phone off the nightstand but was met with a surprise.

"oh shit!!!". A body with dark hair and toned arms was laying next to me naked under the covers.

I wasn't sure whether I should wake him up or go downstairs and wait for him to wake up. I chose to go downstairs and think of a way to confront him when he woke up.

Thankfully, Miles was sleeping on the couch so I decided to wake him up and ask for help. He knows Alex better than I do!

"MILES GET UP YOU LAZY TOSSPOT!" I shook him until he finally woke up.

"Jesus Jenna! I'm having a terrible headache! What the hell do you want??" he yelled back at me.

"Miles! You dont understand! I slept with Alex last night and he's in my bed right now and I'm freaking out! What the hell do I do???"

Miles had a shocked expression after I ranted to him but suddenly started laughing and rolling on the ground.

What a pain in the arse!

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and we both froze. There was Alex, only in his boxers, smirking at the two of us.

He came towards me and whispered in my ear "I had fun last night babe. You were great."

Was he not freaked about this? He's probably used to this.

He walked towards Miles and started chatting to him as if nothing happened last night.

I left the boys to talk as I went to the kitchen to grab some paracetamol and a glass of water. I took two pills and chugged down a glass of water.

As I was leaving the kitchen, Alex suddenly came in and slammed me against the wall and started kissing my neck.

I was so shocked i didn't know what to say. In between his kisses, Alex whispered into my ear

" Hey darlin, how 'bout we go out for some coffee or summat?" I stuttered..not know what to say but came up with a lame excuse about how I couldn't go.

"umm.. Miles and I have plans later today..sorry." I felt extremely uncomfortable under Alex's touch.

Don't get me wrong, he was extremely attractive but I just felt nervous.

Alex wandered into the living room as I heard him ask Miles what our plans were today. I ran into there and gave Miles a look hoping he would catch on and make an excuse.

"umm did we plan anything today Jenna? I don't remember.."

Great. Thanks a lot Miles.

"Ayy, so yous were lyin' to me darlin? Most people throw themselves at me hoping I take them out." His comment really pissed me off. What a cocky little prick.

"Oh sorry Alex, but I'm not most people. Just 'cause you're in a silly little band doesn't mean I want to go out with you."

Instead of being taken aback like I hoped he would be, he just gave me an annoying smirk and stared me down making me extremely uncomfortable.

Miles finally caught on that I didn't want anyhting to do with Alex.

"Ay bro, I think it's best if yous leave.. Jenna and I actually have to erm..go to the..groceries. Yeah! the groceries. I'll see you around mate." The one time I need Miles to back me up, he comes up with the shittest excuse ever.

Alex thankfully listened and said goodbye to Miles. He walked up to me and gave me another annoying smirk along with a "see you around later darlin'. I'm still waiting for a coffee date. Ain't gonna let you go that easily.."

He gave me a quick peck on the cheek and shut the door behind him.

I just stood there in shock and a hint of annoyance. Miles tried talking to me but i wasn't up for it.

"So uh.. Jenna what was that about?".

"I don't even know. But i don't want to see his arrogant arse around here anytime soon.. I'm gonna go back to sleep upstairs since I still have a bangin' headache."

I dragged myself up the stairs and landed with a thud in my bed. I pulled my covers and drifted off to sleep..
