London is For Lovers

11.

They are all really noisey. They brought alcohol and Matt brought 2 buckets of chicken wings. What the fuck is wrong with this guy?

"Who's that girl?", one of them asks. "That's Madison! Heyyy!", Dan screams and runs up to me. He lifts me up and hugs me. "How are you!?". "Good, how about you?". Its hard to fake smiling already when you've been crying not even a minute ago.

"We're feeling awesome! And know what that means?". I shake my head. "Fifa!". I give them all a weird look and they laugh. "Someone's not with us then?", one of them I don't know yet asks. "Nope, sorry". "Of course you are, silly!", Josh laughs and falls on the couch next to me. "But I suck at playing FIFA!". "Honey, they all suck. Everyone sucks when they are playing against me". He winks at me making me shiver. "God where are my manners! I'm Max, Max Helyer!", one of the guys comes up to me and shakes my hand. "I'm Madison". Right after him another guy with really long hair shakes my hand and introduces himself as Chris. His hair is fabulous.

Suddenly someone lifts me up and places me on their lap. Josh, obviously. "I'd love it if you stopped throwing me around randomly". "But you're so cute I feel like I have to!", he defends himself and I laugh. But it's kind of driving me crazy. I can feel every breath of him in my neck and its making me shiver every freaking time. The guys decide to make teams.

Matt - Dan

Chris - Max

And Josh and me since they all agreed that we would make the best team. Just because I'm the worst and he's the best I assume.

We're the first team to start. Us against Matt and Dan. We're beating them even though I really really suck at it.

"Its not fair! I always win!", Josh fake cries as we lose the final match against Chris and Max. "Its all my fault, I'm sorry boo-boo", I start to be overdramatic just as Josh and he continues crying. "Josh, you're a bad loser", Matt laughs and hits his shoulder. "Shut up!". "But guys. Stop being so dramatic. There are more important things to cry about", I say. "And that is..?", Dan asks. "I'm hungry". They all jump up in histery and Josh runs to get the phone. "Franceschi. One family sized pizza". I'm curled up on the floor and I can't stop laughing. Suddenly Dan grabs my hand and asks me: "are you okay". I still laugh uncontrollably. "NO I'M HUNGRY!", I shout. "They are gonna be here within 20 minutes. Here have a snickers you're not you when you're hungry", Josh says and throws a Snickers at my face. "Ouch!", I squeek and instantly shove the snickers in my mouth.

15 minutes later the delivery guy arrives and we eat the pizza. It's huge and it tastes delicious. After that we tell each other funny stories. "Madison why do your funny stories only involve that Laura girl?", Chris chuckles and my mood changes. "Because she's the only one I had in Germany". "Oh. Sorry". "Its fine, you couldn't know", I smile.

Suddenly my phone rings. The ID showed 'Dan ♡'. "Hey Dan!". "What?", the other Dan asks. "Not you, silly", I laugh. "Hello Maddy! Just wanted to ask when you're coming home". "I don't know Dan. Maybe 7. Maybe 8. Maybe 9. Maybe 12". "Are you drunk Maddy?", Dan laughs. "Haha nooooo", I say even though I may be slightly drunk..

"Haha okayyyy. Be safe! Love ya!". Then he hangs up. Aw Dan. What would I do without him.

At 10pm I find myself cuddled up with Josh on the couch whilst the others are sitting somewhere else. I begin to get really tired. And I'm kinda tipsy. I haven't been drunk in ages. I was always afraid that my dad's gonna come and beat me up again. Also, seeing my dad drunk and getting aggressive kind of traumatized me. I thought I'd never touch alcohol ever again.

"Are you tired?". I nod. "Wanna sleep?". "Nah". Josh laughs and pulls me closer to him. Then my phone rings again. Laura. (A/N: When Madison talking to her parents or Laura shes speaking German so the others can't understand it lol) "Hey Laura!". "Hey girl! How are you doing? Is everything fine or are you sleeping under the Thames Bridge already". I laugh at her comment. "Nope, I'm fine! I'm at Josh's. Say hi!", I shout and everyone in the room screams hi in the most high pitched voices I've ever heard. "Oh my god how many are there?". "5!". We continue talking and after 10 minutes we hang up. Only because Josh has been annoying me. Attention whore. "Can you drive me home now?", I whisper in his ear and he nods. "Of course. I'll be right back lads, don't destroy my house and don't let strangers in", he laughs grabs my hand and leads me to his car. We remain silent until we arrive at the house. He opens my door and I get out of the car. "Today has been awesome", I smile. "I agree", Josh smiles. Then he grabs both of my hands and smiles at me. He gets closer.. And closer.. And leans in and kisses me.
