"Honey, this really isn't a good idea, have you heard about this place?" Andy says apprehensively, adjusting his red sweater.

"I've been there once before" I try to reassure him, concentrating on making sure I don't snap an ankle walking in these heels.

"Why would you ever go somewhere like that?" he asks incredulously.

I try tugging down the hem of my white skirt, but the damn thing keeps riding up my thighs, I don't even know what possessed me to wear this outfit.

Oh right, it was Harry.

"I went with Sophie a few years ago, that's where I met my friend" I explain, adjusting my camera strap on my shoulder as we continue the short walk to the club from the taxi rank.

"Is Sophie going to be there tonight?" he asks, and even though he masks it well, I still pick up on the distasteful tone in his voice.

He's never really liked my friendship with Sophie, he calls her a bad influence.

"She said she might be" I give him a tight smile, trying to hide my irritation.

He let's out a heavy sigh "Wonderful, so who is this guy anyway, you've never mentioned him before today"

"Just an old friend I met when I first moved here, we hadn't seen each other again until today" I say vaguely, almost feeling I'm adopting Harry's mannerisms for answering questions.

I feel guilty leaving out the big details about who Harry is, or how I actually know him. Andy would have never agreed to let me come tonight if he ever found out I'd had a one night stand with him, Andy thinks they're abhorrent.

But Harry is just a friend now, if you could call it that, more so an acquaintance, I don't plan I pursuing a relationship with him further than tonight.
