I woke up wrapped in a pair of muscular arms. Oh damn. Joe had been working out. Why was I here? Did I have a nightmare again? That needs to stop. I usually don't go back to sleep afterward.

I rolled over slightly, waking Joe as I did.

"Morning sleepy head." Joe smiled, his voice husky and so HOT!

I grinned. "G'morning beautiful." I said jokingly, winking as I did.

Joe laughed, then pushed me. "Get up, I wanna make my bed! And I'm busting for the toilet"

I pulled his duvet off me, and got off his bed, then went into my own bedroom.

I made my bed, headed to the bathroom, did my... Thing... And then back to my room to put some clothes on.

"Hey, Joe, when will everyone be here?" I called, hanging out my bedroom door.

"About 6ish, why?" I heard him shout back.

"Because it's 4:30 now!" I laughed.

"Oh shit, really? Casp we need to have something to eat, we can't get drunk on an empty stomach." He said, scurrying out his room in a hurry, pulling up his black skinnies.

"I'll go make us something. Don't worry." I laughed.

I was about to start walking when Joe stopped me.

"Casp, you're not the greatest cook, you know that.."

I sighed. "Hurtful!" I joked. "But true. I'll go put in an order in Dominoes"

"It's a Friday night, they'll be packed, you won't have time. I'll make something."

"I'm capable of making food Joe."

"Yeah, but I don't want you to make a big mess if we have people coming over"

"I won't make a mess!"

"Yes you will, I know you will. Come on, let's just go to the kitchen and see what we have to make."

I sighed again. He was always right, but I can cook some things, I'm not incapable of making food.

Me and Joe headed to the kitchen anyway and we searched the cupboards. Joe ended up making is a stir fry, which was no pizza, which I wanted, but it was good none the less.

"Who do you think will get drunk first?" I asked Joe, while taking a bite of my food.

"Probably Tyler, you know what he's like." Joe laughed.

"But Zoes quite the light weight."

"Ah, that's true. I hadn't thought of that."

>Doorbell sound<

"I'll go get it." I said. Abandoning my empty plate on the table and getting the door.

In came Zoe, Alfie, Tyler, Troye, Oli and Marcus.

"Aye up." Marcus beamed, handing me a case of Carling.

><><
Two hours, six cans and four shots later I was dancing on the kitchen table.

"But seriously Joe, you need to say something." I heard Zoe say. I looked around. Joe and Zoe huddled in a small corner near the door.

"I know, I just can't. You know what it's like being in love, and it's a crazy feeling and I want it to stop. I can't say anything." Joe told her.

He's in love? He can't be. I didn't know he was talking to any girl... I'm his best friend, he could have told me. I can keep secrets... Most of the time...
