Fantaesy

Nandos

After leaving the Plaza, we all agreed that we need somewhere to eat, drink and calm the fuck down. We sat in Nandos in a bit of a daze, huddled together, unable to decide on food.

"Have you put Tae's number in your phone?"

"No, Lise I haven't"

"Why not? Give me your phone and I'll do it" Justine reached out for my phone.

"It's probably not even his number" I said.

Lise: "You have got to be kidding me? You seriously don't believe that?"

Justine: "Do you really think it's a fake number?"

Me: "No I don't think it's fake. I think it's Mr Pinks number. He spoke to Tae and handed Tae the bit of paper"

Justine: "Oh... well, I see, it could be. That's mean if it is"

Lise: "Why wouldn't the guy just give you his number himself? He had enough chances today?"

Me: "I don't know. Maybe he thought I would take it if Tae gave it to me."

Lise: "Either way, no matter whose number it is you should put it in your phone!"

Justine: "You definitely should. If you lose it you'll regret it"

Me: "Okay, okay. I'll put the number in my phone. Not quite sure what name I should put it under though, since I don't really know whose number it is?"

Justine: "How about Mystery Man?"

Lise: "MysTAEry man, more like"

We all laughed and decided that would do. I could always change it or delete it later on but for now it was safe in my phone. We talked, laughed and ate. I hadn't realised how hungry I was until the plates of chicken wings and houmus arrived.

Justine: "Did you see Yoongi's face when he was talking to me? I don't think I am ever going to get over that. The way he blinks... the blinking is just... well, it's..."

Me: "Necessary?" I laughed "Seriously, though, I saw! I thought he was drooling at one point"

Justine: "I know right?"

Lise: "I bet he had a hard on"

Me: "Definitely!"

As we laughed, my phone lighting up ceased conversation immediately as we all stared at the phone.

Lise: "Well??? Who is it?"

Me: "I can't look"

"Well I bloody will!" Justine snatched the phone off the table and held it up. "It's Tae"

Lise: "No way?"

Me: "Shut up is it"

Justine: "It is! I seriously wouldn't joke about something like that"

Me: "Okay, let me see"

Justine handed me my phone and I looked at the message from Mystaery Man:

*Hey are you less trembly now? T x*

Me: "Oh my Gosh"

Lise: "What? Well, is it Tae?"

Me: "It has to be, unless Mr pink hair heard what Tae said to me"

Justine: "reply then!"

*I'm in Nandos, definitely less trembly thank you. J x*

We waited. My heart was thumping so hard I was sure that people around us would hear it.

Lise: "I think we need drinks"
