"Hey, there you are, we wondered where you've-" but Matt stopped as soon as he recognized the young lady next to Alex "-been" Matt ended and raised his eyebrows towards Alex. "Seems like we need another chair then?" he asked his bandmate and ALex noded, looking at his company.
 Matt gave him the 'explain later' look and Alex only smirked, probably Matt assumed that he had sex with Abby, what he did not have.
 "Then come in, dinner is getting served and somehow no one wants to sit with us" he said grinning.
 "No wonder, you're not of 'the family clan' " she said laughing and streched out her hand to Matt "Abby" she said and Matt took her hand, nodding "Matt" but Alex got to her ear "Call him Matthew the third, he likes that"
 "No he does not!" Matt answered immediatly but smiled.
 "Seems like we can't continue hiding now" Alex said to her, but she smiled "of course not! I'm curious now about the last member of your stripper-group!"
 "Stripper group?" Matt asked while climbing the stairs of the veranda and holding open the door for her.
 Matt immediately went to a small table, a little aside from the main table with bride and groom and both Alex and Abby were quite happy with that. There was only Jamie sitting at the table and waited.
 His look got asking as they got near with the new company and Alex immediately said she should sit down and went on searching a chair for himself.
 She did so, still wearing his jaket and greeted Jamie, she knew those two guys were thinking the same, that Alex and her had a quick shag and now at least spending the evening together, but she didn't care what they thought in fact.
 Alex came back with a chair and sat down next to her "So what did we miss?"
 Jamie took a sip from his drink "Nothing really, some speeches, some crying, some cake"
 "We had cake as well" she said and waved at one of the waiters.

"Sorry Miss, you can't order food anymore, the kitchen has allready prepared everything and-"
 "You're telling me it's too much work to prepare two more plates?"
 "I'm sorry, but we have instructions that we have to follow, and-"
 "Then I'd like to have two bottles of your best champaign, four tequila shots, a bloody mary and margarita! "
 The waiter noded and got away with an uncomfortable expression.
 "No food means more alcohol" she said and smiled, but Alex looked grumpy "What the hell is their problem? It's like-"    "-It's a punishment, for not taking the wedding serious enough and missing the whole time, my aunt was allways good in such things" 

"You're kidding me, right?" But Abby shoke her head "Sadly no. It's like  the family's personal vendetta going on against me." After that no one really knew what to answer.
 "We ordered somehing for Alex, we didn't know he would bring company, but we can share, that's no problem, we'll get another plate and it'll be fine" Matt said and alex noded.
 "And we can't let you have all that alcohol on your own" Alex smiled.
 "Hey...I ordered you a Margarita, no complains...but thanks" She was truly glad that she met those guys, without them she would have probably left before some hours ago.

The dinner was served and indeed it seemed like she would not get any on purpose. But Alex got another plate for her and so she got well supplied by the three, especially Alex.
 He couldn't take his eyes off her, she was just so beautiful, how she talked, behaved, made fun of them in such a hypnotic way. If she was poison, there was no help for him, he was letting her poisen fill every cell and every vein of his body and he enjoyed it.
 They had their dinner, having fun, nearly forgetting about the wedding, but when Nora, the bride stepped in the front and took a microphone and Alex saw that behind a guitars and a microphone got installed, he feared the worst.

And indeed it happened. Nora first thanked everyone for this great evening but then something like "And thanks to my parents sending me to this school in Sheffield, where I got to knwo three special and talented boys, I can now present you at least some of the great Arctic Monkeys, including their frontman Alex Turner!"

 "She's not serious about that is she?!" he exchanged a look with Matt who looked just as pissed. They hated something like that. They never said they would play anything at her wedding. They told her they are no attraction, that they would come to be at her wedding not to give a free private concert. But what should they do? Nora literally forced him to sing at least two songs, and if he would refuse, everyone at the wedding would hate at them.
 All the guests were looking at them now, knowing who they were and also Abby was a little curious now, she had heared of them, probably heared a few tracks but she could have never linked Alex to the band without knowing it now and somehow she though it was cute how he did not want to go there and perform, how he did not tell her about being in a band.
 He got up, looked apologizing at her and noded at Jamie and Matt.
 They kept on sitting there, knowing this was Alex's job.
 "He didn't tell you?" Matt aske and also watched how the other two got in the front and Alex took a guitar, he was clearly not enjoying this at the moment.
 Abby shoke her head "I guessed you were a stripper group and he didn't protest"
 Matt laughed, he liked her humor and he was sure Alex did not only like that about her, but he couldn't blame him.

Alex was raging inside, he hated this situation, he did not come to perform and he had told Nora, but she had ignored what he said, just like she had pretty much ignored all of them the whole day. They were truly just an attraction for her wedding and not three friends anymore.
 He cleared his throat and stepped in front of the microphone and then he got an idea.

He shot a smile across the room to his own table and licked quickly over his lip "Well, I'm from the Arctic Monkeys and I'd like to dedicade this very first song to a young lady that I met today, and like our song, she's thunderstorms."
