Today it's my best friend's birthday and I'm currently getting ready to go on a night out to celebrate. I slicked my hair back, did my make up and picked an outfit. I got a text from Hannah (my best friend) that the uber was waiting outside, I quickly grabbed my bag and rushed out of my apartment.
Once we arrived outside of the club we thanked the driver and got out of the car. We walked into the club and immediately went to get a drink. After almost an hour we got bored and decided to go to another club that was just a 10 minute walk away from where we are now. We collected our things and started walking to the other club.
Me and Hannah were walking along while taking when I heard my name. "y/n?" I looked forward to see Harry Lewis, me and Harry met during school in Guernsey and were great friends but lost contact when he moved away. Guernsey is where I grew up but I moved to London almost a year ago and only go back to visit. "Hey, long time no see!" I smiled, pulling him into a hug. "how are you?" He asked. "good. I moved to London a while ago, I would have called but I lost your number." I explained.
We ended up exchanging numbers and said goodbye. I spent the rest of the night getting pepperd and celebrating Hannah's birthday, I got home at around 3am and fell straight into bed after stripping my clothes off. The next morning I woke with one of the worst hangovers of my life. I spent most of the day rotting in bed until I started to feel a little better so took a shower.
Once I was clean and in a sweat set I grabbed my phone from my bedside table and started scrolling through my messages. Lots were from Hannah sending me pictures from last night and a sweet thank you text that read "thank you for an amazing night, wouldn't want to have spend my birthday with anyone else❤️" I smiled at the text and replied to her.
When I clicked out of our conversation I spotted a text from "Harry Lewis" I furrowed my brows, then I remembered I'd bumped into him last night. I clicked on the text "nice seeing you again, hope you're not too hungover" I laughed. "you too, and I'm definitely hungover👍" I wrote. He text me back almost immediately "I was gonna ask if you wanted to meet up for dinner sometime, so we can catch up?" "free this Friday?" I asked. "7:00?" He sent. "perfect"
Friday came around quick. I spent the day working and got home around 5pm. I got straight in the shower, dried and styled my hair, put on some makeup and chose a casual outfit. Harry sent me a text saying he'd be at my apartment in 10 minutes (I gave him the location of my apartment the other day when he asked if he could pick me up). I grabbed my bag and headed down to the lobby.
Once Harry text me that he was outside I quickly ran towards his car since It was super windy. "hey!" he started the car. "hi." I replied while putting my seatbelt on. We talked for the whole 15 minute car ride and by the time we were getting out of the car to walk into the restaurant It was not at all awkward and felt like we were back in high school laughing on the way to one of our lessons.
When we got inside and sat down we ordered our food I started talking. "how's Katie?" I asked. His face dropped. "shit." I thought. "we're not together anymore." he answered. I bit my lip "sorry." I said sympathetically. "It was for the best." There was an awkward silence before I asked "... well Is Herb still alive?" He laughed and nodded. We continued to chat, laugh and eat as we sat in the restaurant. Once we finished our dinner we left and Harry drove me home.
"We'll have to catch up again." he said as we stood just outside of his car. "definitely, thanks for dinner Harry." I replied, smiling. We looked into each others eyes, leaned forward and our lips connected. My arms made their way around his neck and his at my waist. Once we pulled away Harry whispered "I've wanted to do that for a while."
