"Wait so you're telling me that you didn't end up shagging her?" Ben asked, bewildered by his friends stupidity.
"No. It seemed like we were going to, but I didn't want to rush in. We had only met that day. And we were drunk, I thought it was better if we just continued watching the movie. We ended up falling asleep halfway."
"Aw that's so cute. Still mad you went over there and only made out, you dumbass." Lucy responded, sipping her latte in annoyance. Joe smiled, thinking back to that night. He didn't want their first time together to be deathly drunk or the same day they had met. Plus, Joe had not been himself when he was drunk with her. His normal dunken self would spend the night singing purple rain to Ben.
"Drunk sex is the best sex, in my opinion," Ben continued, "especially if it's the day you met the person." Gwilym rolled his eyes at his friends response.
"Your choice mate, I mean, if I had only just met the girl and thought she was my soulmate I probably wouldn't have done anything with her either."
"Look, I am just glad you are all in New York. Even though its only for a month I would have hated being here by myself. Well, I could have been by myself." Lucy smiled at Joe's obvious mention of Harley.
"When are we going to meet the famous Harley anyway? I need a girlfriend like God." Lucy asked eagerly.
"Wait I thought I was your girlfriend?" Rami joked, earning a shove from Lucy. Joe looked up from his coffee and out the window, a familar figure hobbling towards the cafe on crutches with a woman. Joe suddenly recognized her. It was Harley.
"Guys she is here, stay calm just God stay calm." Everyone looked at Joe and rolled their eyes. He watched as Harley walked in with Jude, the woman from the other night. Joe tried to continue the conversation, so that Harley wouldn't think he was staring. He tried to steal a glance at her, but soon saw Jude staring back.
"Hey its Joe from Harleys bedroom closet!" Jude said strutting over, as Harley looked behind to see her friend. Her eyes widened, and she smiled awkwardly when she saw Joe, graphic memories rushing bsck to her. "Sorry I ruined the night, just wanted to get drunk with my best friend," she said turning to his friends, "when I find this guy, already drunk and laughing in her closet. They got fucking drunk while playing Mario Kart!" Gwilym and Ben snorted and Lucy looked at Joe.
"You did what Joe!" Joe looked down as Harley came over, her crutches clicking on the floor.
"Hello." She smiled to the table, but mainly to Joe. "I am Harley." She said, giving a little wave to the friends.
"Oh my she is prettier than you said, way to underestimate her Joe!" Lucy said, causing a glare from the already red faced Joe. Harley laughed, thanking Lucy for her compliment. "What's your Instagram again?" She asked, getting out her phone to enter in the username.
"Oh," smiled Harley, "its miss.harleyc." Lucy grinned as she followed the girl, instructing the others to do the same. "Well, nice meeting you guys but we have to get going. Crime awaits!" Joe waved goodbye as they grabbed their drinks and left the café. He sighed, his heart melting at how beautiful she had looked.
"Shit he really does like her, he looks like he is about to faint." Ben said, completely snapping Joe from his train of thought. "Cannot believe I am actually letting you cheat on me like this." Ben shook his head as the table laughed, recounting memories from the set of Bohemian Rhapsody, Joe zoning out to think about the beautiful woman that had just walked away. While Ben looked down to his phone, going through Harleys following list to find Judes profile. The woman attracted him, and although she was years older than him, he did not care. Joe saw the look on Ben's face and tilted his head in confusion, quickly realizing that Ben hadn't joined in the conversation. He remembered his face as Jude came over. It was a look of utter admiration.
"Ben likes Jude!" Joe blurted out, accidentally.
"I do not! I just met the bloody woman!" Ben argued, his fsce turning a bright red.
"I had only just met Harley and I like her. What's to say that grin on your face isn't about Jude?" Gwilym, who was sitting next to Ben snatched his phone and threw it over to Lucy, who checked what he was looking at.
"You were stalking her profile! You cannot deny it Ben!" Ben looked at Gwilym, glaring before quickly taking his phone back.
"God you guys suck." He sulked, earning snickers from the entire table. Joe couldn't help but think, what if Jude and Ben get together before him and Harley? Would that make things awkward? No matter what he had to try and ask out Harley.
Oof sorry if I disappointed my only reader with that plot twist. Thought it was moving too fast so thought, hah they shall not sleep together! Anyway love you ♡
