"freddie!"

my voice hitched when i saw my old friend from across the vip lounge. i was there with a few friends at queen's launch party for "a night at the opera". i ran across the room to hug freddie.

our arms latched around each other as we spun around. as he put me down, i noticed that roger, brian and john were right behind him.

"hello darling! how are you, sweet thing?"
he asked with a smile as we gave a kiss on each cheek to each other.

"i'm great! congrats on the album, dear!"
i congratulated.

"thank you my love."
he said with a curtsy.

he stepped aside and presented the three boys behind him. they all looked at me with a blank expression. all except for the blond boy with oceans in his eyes.

"leila, darling, i'm sure you know brian, roger and john."
he motioned to each of them.

"yes i know of them. although we've never formally met."
i cracked a small smile, holding my hand out.

i only knew of them because of freddie's ramblings about the boys and all their funny little experiences. now i was actually meeting the men behind the tales.

"lovely to meet you guys."
i greeted as i shook their hands.

"good evening love."
roger spoke up.

his piercing blue eyes stared at me, almost delicate gaze but a hungry one all at the same time. he intimidated me. i knew that freddie wouldn't let roger do anything idiotic towards me but a feeling of anxiety washed over me.

"g-good evening."
i shyly spoke.

i felt all the heat rush to my cheeks and my eyes kept contact with roger's. my fingers fidgeted with the bottom of my mini dress until suddenly freddie stepped back in to speak.

"leila dear, would you like to join us?"
he offered.

"oh darling, i would love to but i came with the gals."
i said, turning down his kind offer.

"oh come on, it'll be loads of fun. you can invite them if you'd like."
he nudged me with a smile, then quickly covering his teeth with his lips.

i looked back at my friends and then towards freddie.

"one sec."
i said, holding a finger up.

i rushed up to my friends and motioned them to come with me. they followed after me and we stood in front of the boys once again. each boy had their eye on one of us; and roger just so happened to have his eye on me.

a mischievous grin was displayed on his face as he scanned my features. i smirked back at him just to tease. it seemed as if my anxiety had disintegrated into thin air and the playful side of me had presented itself.

"shall we go greet the rest of our guests?"
freddie asked me.

i nodded and we started walking further back into the club. i felt an arm slip around my waist and i looked around. i noticed roger smirking at me. a part of me wanted to tease him right back and so i traced his jawline with the tip of my finger. he didn't seem to mind my act of flirtation.

tonight was going to be interesting to say the least.
