Spending all day at home with Aston never further than the other room away, I've of course been convinced to go out tonight, not that it took much persuading.
Fresh and smelling of my favourite bubble bath I shut myself in my room sitting at my dressing table in just a towel, Aston however has decided to take over my whole lounge with his washing again. Curls falling down my shoulders and cheeks glowing a pretty pink blush I can only hope I haven't made too much of an effort, it does feel strange going out with my boyfriends best mate. Finding some matching black underwear set in my draws I slipped it on under my dress I purchased only a few days ago with Chloe, yes the one I was supposed to be saving for our girls night out, but it looks so curve hugging on the clothes hanger I can't resist.
Suddenly jumping at Aston banging at my door I quickly opened it stopping the tune he started to make with his knuckles.
"How long does it take to look..like..like this," he stuttered looking me up and down.
"I'm nearly done, just give me two minutes."
"I'm counting."
Grabbing my shoes and clutch bag I sprayed some Jimmy Choo perfume and applied some last-minute lipstick before rushing out to Aston eagerly waiting perched on the kitchen counter.
"Ok, I'm ready."
"I now know why I stick to lads nights out."
"Shut up you, I haven't been that long."
"Babe you have, but you do look good so I'll let you off," he winked.
Blushing as he jumped down I watched him dial through to the usual taxi company.
With the night still young but Aston very eager to get me drunk I'm taken to a bar in central London for a few pre-drinks, from what I've heard his drinking habits are heavy and after showing him how little alcohol I need in my system, tonight will certainly be eventful.
"Do you come here often?" I asked.
"Are you chatting me up?" he teased.
"Oh you know what I mean."
"No babe, just a couple of times," he laughed with me. "There's no way I'm taking you in the clubs I usually go in, you'll meet too many people."
"People being ex's."
"Not ex's, just girls," he assured.
"Of course, my mistake."
"I'll show you some of the best places around here."
"I have been out before you know."
"Sorry I thought your boyfriend put you to bed by nine."
Laughing I hit his arm.
"So what's the situation with you two anyway?" he asked.
Shrugging I sighed. "I don't know, I'm done caring."
"I never understand what he even does out there."
"Tell me about it, and more to the point who."
"Babe.."
"Aston we both know he will do anything he can get away with, and who's there to catch him out?"
Silence answered.
"Don't do it to yourself, you're letting him walk over you."
Shaking my head I emptied my glass, "not anymore."
"Come on then, if he doesn't want you then I do."
"What? Aston.." I laughed as he hopped down from the bar.
Grabbing my hand he led me outside regardless of how quick I can or in this case cannot walk in six-inch heels. Pottering down the pavement we stopped outside a club already guarded with girls wearing next to nothing, the obvious attraction for Aston. Ready to join the back of the queue i'm pulled to the door meeting a man in black who didn't hesitate to let us in.
"Friend of a friend," he smirked before I could question how that just happened.
Vodka and cokes on order I grabbed some available seats to the side of the room ahead of Aston, he's insisting on paying for nearly all my drinks tonight. Looking around the club I laughed as I remembered the times I did go out every weekend, not much has changed, there's still girls thinking short is sexy and men with the most sleazy ways of pulling. Charlie didn't exactly stop me going out with the girls, but he made sure he had plans for us elsewhere, even when he was away he would invite his family over to sit with me. That's how I know feelings have changed, he doesn't do that anymore, I mean what boyfriend would leave their girlfriend at home with the flirty, single and rather good-looking man known as Aston?
"Drink up.."
Sitting down beside me he passed me a shot with my vodka and coke.
"Oo, and how drunk are you planning to get me?"
Winking he knocked his back.
Knowing tonight is only going to get worse I will probably have to pull a sicky tomorrow morning, my boss wont be happy but then it's only a nine till five job isn't it? Hardy ha ha.
The more I thought about Charlie, the more I drunk, and the more I drunk, the more badly I behaved.
Walking up behind a very lost looking Aston after a quick trip to the ladies he spun around to face me.
"Are you still looking for this friend of yours?" I giggled.
"Yeah I was looking for you."
"I meant friends with benefits."
"I know what you meant," he smirked.
Giggling I took my glass back from his hands. "Lets get some more shots."
Following me closely our bodies stood together as we're crushed against the bar, it's so hot and busy in here now.
"Two Jägers," Aston ordered.
Feeling my phone vibrate in my clutch I briefly checked the name, 'Charlie.'
"Make that four," I frowned.
"Ey, I thought you we're a cheap night?"
Passing him my phone I took out some money, but after a quick look on my screen my notes are pushed away and phone is now switched off.
"I was joking. I'm showing you exactly what you're missing tonight, so drink up and forget him."
Nodding I helped clear all the shots across the bar. Time flying we switched to amaretto still wedged in the corner flirting, rather than the old fashion gentleman talk Aston's banter and cheeky ways have me hook, line and sinker.
"So come on, am I more fun than the lads?" I asked.
"If I was with the lads I'd be in bed by now."
"Ooh."
"I'm not talking about my bed," he giggled with me.
"I haven't seen you chat up one girl tonight, so how are you supposed to find a friend with extra's?"
"Friends with benefits," he corrected.
"A friend you're going to fuck, same thing," I shrugged
Laughing he supported me straight by holding my waist.
"I thought you we're my friend?" he asked.
"I am your friend."
Grinning again he stared back into my eyes, and then lowered the gaze to my chest.
This dress does have a very low V neck.
"Lets dance," he smiled.
"Now you've finished looking at my boobs?"
Biting down on his bottom lip he took my hand again and lead me through the surrounding people now crowding around the bar. Seduced by those eyes I ended up dancing up against him with my hands never far from his body, in fact Aston's just as close if not closer. Feeling his lips gently brush against my neck I turned around.
This is so out of the ordinary for me, I've never even considered cheating on a boyfriend never mind actually coming this close. I shouldn't feel like this, I shouldn't be eager for his lips on me again, I shouldn't even be here in this club drunk and dancing with him.
But I crushed my lips to his anyway.
Sliding my palms up his chest and around his neck I felt his hand grip my bum tighter as our kiss deepened. Firm and eager for more we parted our mouths and let our tongues battle, tonight's building tension finally released.

Bit of a cliffhanger, but a longer part as I was in Mallorca :-) Remember to vote for the next part..
