While the two happy couples were enjoying the music, Chloe was trying to get served. She couldn't help but glance over to see them all with huge smiles on their faces, it did make her feel out of place. Why couldn't she be happy? Why couldn't she be with the woman she loved?

"What can I get you?" The barman asked.

"Can I get a jug with 5 glasses and two shots of tequila please" Chloe replied.

"Tequila... you planning a heavy night?" The barman said trying to make a conversation with her.

"Yeah, why not! It's nearly Christmas so that's a good enough excuse" Chloe replied.

"That's very true. Here you go" The barman said as he placed the drinks in front of Chloe.

Chloe wasted no time at all to down the two shots of tequila, the barman looked at Chloe with an impressed expression on his face, he couldn't believe that she downed them both like they were water.

"Enjoy your night" The barman said to Chloe as she headed off to the others.

"Thanks, no doubt I'll see you later" Chloe replied winking at him. If she couldn't flirt with Elly then she may as well flirt with anyone else with a pulse.

"Finally we thought you had got lost" Aaron joked.

"Sorry I was busy getting to know the barman, he's rather gorgeous don't you think" Chloe replied nudging Aaron.

"He's not my type" Aaron said making sure he didn't get into trouble with David.

"You mean he's not me..." David joked.

"So true babe, so true" Aaron replied giving his husband a big sloppy kiss.

"I say go for it..." Elly said trying to be Chloe's friend.

"I might just do that! See you guys later" Chloe replied. She grabbed her drink and headed over to a group of guys who looked like they had just finished playing water polo.

"Oh see you then..." Mark said in a disappointed tone.

"That'll be the last we see of her then" Aaron added.

"I say good for her, about time she got back into the saddle" David said.

"Yeah..." Elly added trying to look like she was happy for Chloe, when deep down she was annoyed that Chloe was spending time with randomness rather than her.

"So you guys actually play water polo? For like real? Or are these just costumes?" Chloe asked.

"We actually play, this is our Christmas party" Ben replied.

"Oh I see, so you must have lots of muscles then?" Chloe said trying her best to flirt.

"I suppose they aren't bad" Ben replied flexing his muscles.

Chloe wasted no time at all in squeezing his biceps to check out how muscular he really was. Elly was watching it all, she couldn't help herself, she just wanted to make sure that Chloe was ok.

"Are you guys worried about Chloe?" Elly asked the boys.

"Huh?" Mark replied.

Aaron looked over to see what Chloe was getting up to but he didn't see anything to be worried about.

"Nah she looks like she is in fine form" Aaron said wolf whistling at his sister.

"No, she looks like she is getting wasted" Elly replied.

"We've spoken about this she can handle herself".

"We are all keeping an eye on her so she will be fine" Aaron added.
