"You fancy it here? Or is it too cold?" Dua Lipa asks

I still can't believe I made it in this weird exclusive club. My friends and I weren't expecting to be picked from the usual crowd that waits and hopes to get it. We were part of that crowd almost every weekend but we had always expected to never be chosen. So we always just came to meet new people in the crowd and hopefully see some celebrities once in a while.

"Well I'm from here so I have to like it" I laugh

"No you don't you can hate it" she says

Oh did I mention I'm talking to Dua fuckin Lipa? I'm sure she's drunk or something because there's no way she starts up conversations like this with someone like me. You know, irrelevant.

"Then yes I guess I hate it, it's gotten quite boring" I say

"Then get outta here! Run away to the place you love" she says raising her glass up

"Easy for you to say" I reply

She slams her cup on the table. Oh shit was I not supposed to say that? I literally gulp as if I'm about to get punched or something. I know the singer Dua Lipa I don't know the person Dua Lipa what if she gets offended easily?

She bursts out laughing. I begin to laugh too just in case.

"I didn't get your name tell me it I need to know who the funny person is" she says

It was not funny at all but drunk people find everything funny.

"Oh it's Valerie and I won't ask for yours because everyone knows already" I reply

"Bollocks like the song!" She exclaims

"Um what?" I say

"Just you wait!" She says as she jumps out her seat and run onto the stage

I'm so confused and afraid, is she going to make fun of me or something? My friends were off dancing with some guys somewhere so I couldn't really just try to blend in with them. What fuckin song?!

Dua goes up to a guy and whispers something to him and he gives her a microphone.

"Everyone who knows this song sing along it's for you" she says and points at me

What the actual hell is going on? The music starts and I automatically know it, how could I have not guessed? I laugh a little out of embarrassment. It's 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse. She starts singing

"Is Dua Lipa singing to you right now?" Jenny my best friend comes up to me

"Looks like it" I laugh

....

"So how did you like it Valerie?" Dua says

"It's definitely a good way to get things less awkward" I say

"Fuck Valerie we have to go your mom is going to kill us" Jenny says pulling me by my arm

"Wait!" I hear Dua scream from a distance but too late to stop because Jenny is right my mom is going to kill us.

Since we never actually make it into the club we always leave around 9 pm it's currently 12 am. Today was fun, overall something to check off on my bucket list. Talking to a celebrity and meeting one and getting into the club. I could add a new one too, getting sung to by a celebrity. Shit is crazy won't lie.

"Where were you l was getting so worried" my mom says

"I'm sorry, Jenny and I missed the last bus so we had to walk here" I say
