You were a personal friend of everyone on XO. You had a personal connection with them all and trusted them largely with anything in your life. You had been introduced to them through Laurence who you had met 4 years before on a job. Anyway, it was the Christmas podcast with Alex, Laurence, Will, Stephen, Jack, Brian and yourself and everyone was getting a big tipsy, not really making much sense and just taking a bunch of shit.
You had been placed next to Jack, who you had also known for around 2 years from collaborating a couple of times. The topics in the conversation began to change from weird to just random shit and you were a little bit tipsy, but you could hold your alcohol well so you were alright at this point. Brian on the other hand, was a little bit more gone than you and was a bit more ruthless with his words. The others were just blabbering, especially Stephen.
The conversation had now turned onto girls and the appearance of women, which wasn't really a sensitive subject for you.
"Right, let's talk about a Women. We have a lovely lady here with us today to give opinions on things. So, what do we all look for in women?" Brian asks the table looking around at everyone. You sat and looked around at everyone too while sipping your beer, waiting for an answer. Stephen raises his hand, clearly on the edge of drunkenness. "Batty" You put your hands on your head and sigh, gaining a laugh from Brian. "Oh Stephen" You mumble and he sits with a little smile on his face at his joke. "I like a classical sense of humour" Jack says. You nod at his words. "Not too funny though, don't want to take your thunder" You insult him and he shakes his head, faking to look offended. "Brutal" Brian laughs and nods. "Well, personally, I like a woman with a bit of meat on her. Bit of a thicker lass" You let out a laugh at Brian, knowing fine well he was being serious and he didn't care. You yourself were a bit thicker and had previously been a bit insecure about it, but had overcome it recently, knowing fine well there was nothing wrong with it. And it seemed as though Brian agreed. "What about you William?" You asked from across the table. He grinned to himself before answering. "If she's not got big tits, Im out" The whole table burst out laughing and you shook your head. "Well at least your honest" Will quickly jumped in and looked at the camera. "That was a joke by the way. I eh don't really have one" You nod and look to Alex who was still laughing at Wills joke. "What about you Alex? You're a real Casanova. Especially with makeup artists. What's your type?" Jack calls out and Alex shakes his head. "I don't know really" You took a sip from your beer before nodding. "It's alright. Not everyone has one. What about you Laurence?" Laurence pulls his drink away from his mouth. "A really good sense of humour. Someone who doesn't take every word to heart ya know?" You nod and smile. "Yeah I get you. You'd probably need a girl like that for Brian" Brian nods and smiles. "You're a bit like that though, aren't you Y/N?" You look at Brian who has a cheesy grin on his face. "I suppose I am" Jack grins between the two of you. "Should I move so you too can chat more or?" You elbow Jack at his comment and Brian laughs loudly. "What about you Y/N? What do you look for in a man?" You smile to yourself and look at Jack. "Not someone like Jack anyway. A right pain in the arse" He pretends to look offended. You sit up with your beer, thinking about Laurence's question. "I don't know really. Someone who's confident in themselves and funny. I can't stand some boring old twat" Brian laughs. "Sounds familiar.." You looked down at your drink and kept quiet after that. "Right let's move on swiftly..."
After podcast, you were all sitting around, some of you drunk and just relaxed. You sat next to Brian, a beer in your hand. "So Y/N, I've got something I need to say" The room wasn't exactly quiet with Will and Stephen messing around with Alex. "Ok. Go on" Brian coughed. "I'm not good at soppy shit and you know that, but I really like you. And I think you're really like pretty and shit" You smiled to yourself and took a sip from your beer. "So would you go out with us sometime? You don't have to like" He asked. You nodded. "Yeah that sounds alright to me" Brian smiled nodded. You heard Stephen call from across the room. "Go on Brian" His voice was slurred. "That kid ruins everything" You laugh and nod. "Yeah bit we love him anyways"
