TODAY WAS COOK'S 17th BIRTHDAY, he invited a handful of people from college to a pub to celebrate, I knew Effy, Pandora, Katie, Emily, and Naomi were invited, then Freddie and JJ, of course. Other than them, I had no idea who else he had invited or who would actually show up. I felt like it was necessary for me to dress up a little bit. I wore a tight dress, fishnets, and some boots. It was possibly a little much for a pub party, but, I felt like seeing Cook squirm just a little.
I finished lacing up my boots before I walked out of my room, closing the door behind me, I was greeted by Effy and Pandora standing in my hall, "Oh, bonkers, Harper, you look amazing," Pandora said, her mouth agape after she finished speaking.
Effy nodded in agreement, raising a brow as she looked me up and down, I shrugged my shoulders, "It is a party, is it not?" I asked them, tilting my head to the side. Effy smiled, she knew exactly why I was dressed up.
Pandora, even though a little confused, still figured it out pretty quickly, "Think you're going to get some surf and turf tonight?" She put her finger up to her lips in a moment of thought.
I chuckled softly, shrugging my shoulders, "Well, we'll just have to find out about that one, yeah?" I walked towards them, "Alright, shall we get going?"
We left my house, walking to the pub, it was surprisingly rather close to my house, so, it didn't take more than 15 minutes to get there. Once we walked in, Cook laid his eyes on me, his stare going up and down my body before they stopped to stare at my face, his jaw slack. He walked over to me, "Hey baby," He said as he placed his arm around my waist, kissing my forehead, "I'm so happy to introduce you to my legendary night out in celebration of my birthday," After he said this, a group of guys walked in, "Apart from you!" He shouted at them, leaving my side to start to shoo them out.
"But I-" One of them tried to speak.
"What are you doing here?" Cook cut him off, "You burnt my house, man! Get out!" He pushed them out of the pub quickly.
"It was an accident, I'm sorry!"
Katie walked in, looking around in confusion, "What the fuck?" She said as she came to a stop to stand next to Katie, I sighed pretty loudly when she arrived, not a fan of her presence what so ever.
The group of us approached the table, I slid into the booth next to Freddie and JJ, and Cook sat next to me, all of the other girls sat around the table on the other side. Cook had a huge, goofy smile plastered on his face, "I'm 17 today, so all bets are off," He spoke, motioning his hands to everyone, "Do what the fuck you want, flush your mates down the toilet, eat grapes off each other, smash speakers over your heads! If partying is a crime, who's gonna get arrested first?" He raised a brow, "Let's go fucking mental! Way, hey, hey!" He quickly stood up, "Party people!" He cheered as he walked away from the table to gather some drinks for us. After he did so, we all ended up singing to him, then we started to downs some drinks as a way to get the party started. "Thanks, man, thank you very much," Cook said to everyone after we sung, he looked around the table, noticing how everyone's drinks were getting rather low, "What's next? Oh, yeah! More drinks!" He shouted as he got up, going back towards the bar.
Katie watched as he walked away, "He's fun," She commented.
Freddie shrugged his shoulders, nodding in agreement, "You have no idea," Freddie said, a clearly second-handed reply.
I laughed quietly, looking down at the table in front of me, "Honestly," I said to myself quietly. Causing Freddie to look over at me, tilting his head to the side.
"What was that?" He questioned me.
I looked up at him, "Oh, nothing," I quickly replied, causing him to shrug it off, looking back over at JJ.
