Aubrey's POV
Waking up to music blasting downstairs was not the best alarm clock when you're hungover. I of all people should know I can't handle my alcohol, yet I still pretend I have an iron liver. I honestly just wanted to stay in bed all day and forget about whatever happened last night. If anything happened last night..
I looked around and no guy was in my bed so that's a plus.. No throw also another plus.. but just when I was about to let sleep overtake once again, Aella barged into my room like she was the damn FBI.
"Oh you're finally awake, I was hoping you were dead"..
"Ahhh Aella, glad to know the sadistic jokes never stop".. Now most people can catch the hint that they want to be left alone..not Aella.. Her goal was to punish me for whatever the fuck I put her through last night..hence the blasting music and the unnecessary shouting.
"So seems someone had a crazy night last night huh?"
"Aella i'm not in the mood for anything right now so whatever the fuck happened last night i'm sorry or whatever" as I looked up her face was full of confusion. As hard as she was trying to act normal, I knew something wasn't right, she was tense. She seemed off.. but after my fair encounters with Aella, I knew I shouldn't push it. She'll tell me if its important. right?
"Wait Aub, you don't remember anything that happened??"
"No Aella I don't so can you just stop yelling at me I have a massive headache"
"Aub you got shitfaced drunk and left me with four other guys...how else do you want me to react?"
Every muscle in my body was trying to hold back the laughter because I mean come on having someone tell you you got shitfaced always brings a smile to your face.
"Listen, were the guys at least hot? Because if they weren't I apologize...But if they were, was there really any harm done?"
Right when I finished that sentence she gave me the nastiest look and stormed out my room. I know for sure today is going to be a long day. I got up and showered then decided to go and grab something to eat before I die of starvation. Right when I was going to grab the Cocoa Puffs, Aella said that we should go out and get coffee so she can tell me all about last night and my shenanigans. Regretfully I agreed, and made our way to the cafe down the street from the park.
************************
The city was louder than usual, but the weather was amazing. The cold breeze hot my face as we walked through the busy streets. We made it to the cafe and a soon as we opened the door a strong scent of coffee slapped our faces. If I died and went to heaven, this would be it.
Once we got our coffees, we decided to take a walk around Central park so we can talk a bit more freely..But something seemed off, Aella seemed paranoid? Scared even, she kept looking around as if looking for someone in particular..but then again you never know what to expect with Aella. But right when she was going to start her story, she paused and was staring at these two guys that were walking towards us.
One was kind of intimidating and had the prettiest green eyes i've ever witnessed. And the other one seemed more approachable, he had blond hair, and let me just say i'd give him a chance any day. But when I looked back at Aella to tell her my comment about the blond, she looked scared almost as she was about to take off and run.
"Hey, dude you alr-"
"Aella and Aubrey right?"
Wait, what the fuck? How the hell do these two guys know our fucking names? I know i'm over exaggerating but it's not everyday someone stops you in the middle of the park knowing your name.. It's just sketchy..
"You're the girls from the club last night right?" said the cute blond
I looked at Aella and back at them like I couldn't speak. Aella gulped and swiftly said,
"No..I think you have the wrong girls..We just got here today" . Nice one maybe they'll believe her. I don't know what it is about the taller one but he gives this vibe like he can't be trusted.
The blonde brought me back to reality when he touched my arm and gave me this charming look. I mean it did something to me i'm not gonna lie, but it didn't feel right by the way Aella's face looked
"Hey come on you have to remember me, we were dancing all night..I cant forget that body all over me"
Irish? Of all guys I go for an irish guy?? I'm pretty sure Aella was going to have a field day with that whenever she tells me what happened last night. Well he's not that bad looking, I guess I did something right last night.
"We need to talk"the green eyed guy said to a mortified looking Aella
I looked over at her and she gave the look that said "you better not move a damn muscle and stay where the fuck you are" As i was going to respond the cute blonde chimed in.
"Yeah, you guys go ahead me and Aubrey can go for coffee or something" and wrapped his arm around my waist and forced me to walk in the direction of the coffee shop. I looked back at Aella and realized that whatever the fuck happened last night was not a good ending.
********************************
We sat down at a booth in the far corner, maybe for privacy. The waitress came and asked me if i wanted anything
"A coffee is fine thank you" I look up and see the blond make a smirk
"And you hun?
"umm a cappuccino is fine thank you."
When she left it was quiet once again. His eyes never left my body and it made me feel super uncomfortable.
"So, Excuse me for being rude or whatever..but who exactly are you?" His lustful glare went to a raised eyebrow.
"You don't remember anything that happened last night?
"No I dont im sorry, my friend was just about to tell me but you guys decided to join on in I guess." He smirked once again and changed the subject.
"So you always been in New York? Because I've never seen you around" I looked at him perplexed.
"So we're just going to pretend like I didn't ask a question huh? Alright that's fine with me." I turned to look out the window and pretended like he didn't exist. Minutes later he bursted out laughing it was honestly contagious but I was in a bad mood.
The waitress came back with our orders and gave Niall some flirty remarks about how handsome he was and how great his hair looked. With all that happening he kept his eyes on me and on every move I made. He really loved making people uncomfortable. The waitress left with her final compliment towards him and continued on with her work. And we were back with the silent sitting.
"What do you want to know? Ask all the questions you want" I was confused that he chose now of all times but i asked my question before he changed his mind.
"Who are you guys? I'm guessing there us more because my friend said I left her with four guys.. That's all I want to know is names" He looked at me deciding whether to lie or tell the truth.
"Well since you are sitting with a total stranger, i'm Niall but you might know me as Stephen.. I introduced myself to you and your friend last night. The other guy she's with is Harry. There's two more that aren't here Liam and Louis." I felt relieved that if I do have to go to the police I can at least say names instead of describing faces. Drowning in my own thoughts my phone had buzzed and it was Aella texting me.
A: Where are you rn?
-At the cafe still..why?
A: ok, stay there i'm omw.
-Aella wtf is going on?
No answer.. But I look up and see Irish blond glaring once again.
"You know pumpkin, it's rude to be on your phone while at the table." When I was just about to answer his creepy comment Aella had come in and made her way to our table.
"Hey Niall, Harry is waiting for you at the park" Aella knew their names already? Niall had gotten up and glared at her and looked at something on her jacket.. It was like a red stain.... He composed himself pretty quickly and said his goodbyes but not before shooting me a wink as he left out the door. I was going to ask Aella a question but she grabbed me by the arm, dragged me outside and called for a cab.
"Don't ask me anything until we get home" I looked at her lost in all the questions in my head and drifted into my thoughts trying to process what the hell just happened.
