that awkward moment.

Harry had his arm resting over his mate Liam's shoulder. He was still somewhat shocked that Liam had actually agreed to come along, but he also pretty sure he'd only agreed because He knew he didn't have a choice. Either way here they were now. Liam, Harry, Zayn, were all headed to the bar, oh yea and Sage, whom Harry would've been fine leaving at home but since she was pretty much Zayn's wing woman and he wasn't so sure his friend would even know how to pick up girls without Harry got over it. He let her tag along because she was pretty cool, sometimes he did wonder about her and Zayn and what they claimed was just friends. They weren't important right now though, Liam was. This whole thing after all was how they were going to get Liam back in the game and get him over his horrid ex girlfriend who'd broken his fragile heart.

---

Sage rested her chin and crossed arms on Liam's shoulder, to best of her abilities after all since he was taller than her, "Liam just remember that we all love you. And that girl who broke your heart is stupid, but tonight were all here to help you forget about her and move on. Because it's what's best for you, and we only want what's best for you." She told Liam quickly kissing his cheek then pulling away so they could move up in line. Which was always the worst part about going to bars when they were busy. Waiting in the damn lines to get in. When they got in though it'd be worth the wait, she still hated waiting though. Plus they needed to get Liam on tack ASAP, and waiting around outside to be let in wasn't putting drinks in anyone's hand or helping Liam move on.

[ so I just kind of went with it. And I those clips were great. Especially the second one ]

Arielle was regretting not wearing a warmer jacket. Being from Southern California, she still wasn't exactly used to the much colder and bipolar weather of London. Not that she disliked London. No. She loved it already, and she had only been in the city for a couple of months now. After finishing up her masters at UCLA, she'd decided it was time for a change and with that change, came the end of a relationship. They'd been dating for a while, but if he couldn't understand that this was what she really wanted, well, he could go fuck himself. That's how she saw it anyway. And that's how she'd gotten where she was right now. In the heart of the city at some club/bar called The Funky Buddha. She let out a soft sigh and glanced around the place. It was clearly a popular spot in the city. She'd waited on line for what had felt like ages, but now she was finally inside and she could definitely use a drink.

---

Zayn still thought that they should have just gotten Liam a hooker or something to cheer him up, but no. Harry didn't think that was the way to go about things, so here they were waiting on this long-ass line to get into Funky Buddha. Why Harry had picked one of the most popular bars/clubs in all of London, he had no idea. Although, it wouldn't surprise him if his curly-haired mate was looking to add another girl to his "roster". He would never actually judge Harry, although he did think that he should treat women a little bit better. It was practically a different one every single week and late-night booty-calls 24/7. Not that Zayn could really say that he was any better. He might not have been as bad as Harry, he had had a couple of somewhat serious relationships throughout college, but they'd never really lasted, and so he normally was out picking up girls at bars as well. Of course, he couldn't do it without Sage. She did most of the dirty work and introduced him to some fit birds and then he brought them home. That was how it had worked for years now. And he helped her find a hook-up every once and a while too. "You don't need her, mate. You two were dating for what, four or five years? You've been tied down for five years, Liam. It's about time you got to embrace the single-life."

[Those clips are absolute perfection. ]

Harry was positive that this was the best idea for Liam. Liam needed to drink and be introduced to ladies, he needed to have a good time, and be reminded of what it's like to be single and be able to actually flirt or talk to girls and not worry about his girlfriend. Zayn was right though, Liam had been tied down for like five years and now it was time for him to move on. "It's finally almost our turn to go in. This is so exciting. This place is like the hottest bar in London." And that it was, which excited him. Harry loved coming to places like this, they were popular and always filled with the best birds from him to choose from to take home. And tonight he was sharing the wealth with his mates. Liam could find a bird to flirt with, Sage could help Zayn land a bird, and maybe he'd help her get a lad. He didn't know. He did know though that this was going to be the best thing for all of them.

---

"I'll help you pick up a bird if you want Liam. Or I'll sit and drink with you if you'd like." Sage told him wanting to be a good friend, even though she was clearly closest to Zayn she was still friends with Harry and Liam too and just wanted what was best for them. And Liam was a nice guy who deserved to be happy. "Thanks guys but I think I'm just gonna drink and see what happens." Which Sage just nodded her head too. She'd stick with Zayn but keep an eye on Liam. That seemed like the best thing to do since he was clearly still heartbroken about this. Truthfully this was probably a lot better for him than getting him a hooker like Zayn wanted to. Liam needed more than just a night of paid sex. She wouldn't have really suggested a bar/club to help him get over his ex if they'd asked her what she'd thought was the best idea, and since Harry had kind of been the one to insist on them getting out he was just going with it.

[ they were ]

Arielle really wasn't all that sure what she was doing at this bar in the first place. It wasn't that it wasn't her scene or anything, she did like to go out and have fun with her friends every once and a while, but she was here alone. Of course, she had never been the sort of person who really cared what people thought about her, so she didn't care if anyone thought it was weird that she was sitting there at the bar alone. Hell, maybe some really hot guy would come over and ask to buy her a drink or something. Depending on who it was, and what sort of vibe she got from him, she would probably take him up on his offer. Then they'd talk for a while, drink some more, and go back to her flat or something. She could honestly say that she was looking for a hook-up tonight. And maybe that was why she'd shown up here in the first place. She wasn't notorious for one night stands or anything like that, but she was a twenty three year old woman who had her sexually urges like any woman her age did. So, maybe nothing would come of this if she ended up bringing a guy home. She just hoped that, if she did, he didn't leave before she woke up the next morning. Guys like that were assholes, and the whole situation just made her feel dirty. She did at least like some sort of confrontation afterwards.

---

"Suit yourself, mate." Zayn said, shrugging his shoulders. He wasn't really all that surprised that Liam wasn't interested in a random hook-up or really just talking to a fit bird at all. He'd honestly been kind of shocked when he found out that his girlfriend had ended things with him. It wasn't so much the break up that had surprised him as the reason behind it. She'd been hooking up with a guy from the office for a couple months now, and had only taken it upon herself to tell Liam this a couple of days ago. It was horrible, and he felt really bad for Liam. He was one of his best mates after all, and he just wanted to see him not so down in the dumps. "I think that we all know you're only excited because you've heard that loads of fit birds hang out here, Haz." He chuckled softly.

Harry flipped Zayn the bird and shook his head. "That's so not true. This happens to be the hottest place in town right now. Anyone who's anyone comes here. Plus they have good drinks and stuff. It's not all about the birds mate." He said winking. So maybe he was only interested in this place because of the birds, but was that really so bad? So he liked women a lot and sometimes let his hormones control his thinking and things could be kind of irrational. But he didn't care. He was still young and didn't see much of a point in looking for someone to settle down with just yet. He wasn't ready for that. Some people might've known by now who they loved and wanted to marry. But he didn't, and he wasn't ready to know. Plus the thought of settling down before he was 26 kind of freaked him out a little. The way he saw it before he was 26 he should be out there playing the field and seeing what the world had to offer. Which was just what he was doing. He'd worry about growing up and maybe finding a nice girl to settle down with later in life.

---

"Okay, well if over priced drinks and celery sticks are your calling then yea this place has great stuff." Sage told Harry rolling her eyes. Sometimes she wasn't sure about him. He was pretty funny and all but all the kid cared about was shagging. Sure she was down for a good shag every now and again too but it wasn't the only thing on her mind. "I'd say the birds are the only reason you really wanna be here." She added backing up Zayn's whole thing. It was true though. Harry always wanted to be where he knew he could find an attractive bird who'd fall for his charm. And of course this was the best place for that. Finally it was their turn to be let in and they passed through the security into the packed building. "Finally. So if you fine lads don't mind I'm gonna go find some helpless lad to buy me a drink and let you do your guy thing. Just text me if you need me." She told them figuring they'd wanna order pints or something and Harry'd probably try and find someone to hook Liam up with.

Arielle couldn't believe how many people were inside this place. It was a decent size, but it was practically wall to wall people. She definitely wouldn't be coming here again. She liked smaller, less known places. Places that looked like total holes in wall, but were surprisingly wonderful once you went inside. Maybe it was because she too liked to stay under the radar sometimes. She wasn't the type of person who needed everyone to know her name. In high school, and college for that matter, she'd had a small, compact group of friends and that was it. Sure, she had a couple of acquaintances here and there, but she wasn't the talk of the school or campus. As her light eyes scanned the place, she noticed three guys enter with a fiery haired girl. Her eyes focused in on the tallest of the group, a curly-haired guy with a couple of tattoos peaking through the flannel shirt he had on. She bit down on her lower lip lightly as she eyed him. Maybe this was her guy. However, before she could really get a closer look at him, some other guy walked over and took the seat next to her. "Why don't you let me buy you a drink?" He asked. Arielle eyed him for a moment before deeming that he was a complete asshole who probably lived in Hackney or something in a shitty flat with his shitty friends. "And what happens afterwards? Wait, let me guess. You're going to take me back to your flat in Hackney and the mood will be totally ruined when one of your friends starts fucking some girl named Emily or Jessica or whatever her name is in the next room." She watched as a stunned expression crossed his face. "I do live in Hackney. How'd you know?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm rather perceptive."

---

"Sure and I'm the bloody queen." Zayn deadpanned, giving a slight roll of his eyes. Harry could act like this was all about the atmosphere and getting Liam out of his little rut, but he was sure that they all knew that the main reason was so that he could get a proper shag that night. He'd been best mates with the curly-haired lad and Liam for years now, since their first year of university actually, and he knew damn well what Harry was all about. He was a nice guy, but sometimes all he seemed to care about was sex. He really didn't think he'd ever seen the bloke in a proper relationship before, and it was honestly kind of sad. That's how Zayn saw it anyway. He sent Sage a slight grin, glad that someone was backing him up, before nodding at her words. "Alright, we'll see you later then." He was sure that Harry would end up going off to talk to some bird, and he'd end up sitting with Liam for a while before he went off to find his fiery-haired friend. He looked around, taking in the insane amount of people inside. The place was packed. His dark eyes shifted over to the bar and his eyebrows rose when he noticed a pretty brunette looking their way and more specifically at Harry. "Don't look now, mate, but that brunette is eyeing you from over by the bar." He said. "Well, she was at least." He added soon after as he watched some bloke walk over and take a seat next to her.

Harry rolled his eyes at Zayn and took a seat across from him leaning back a little. "What? Was she fit? Or could you tell?" He asked turning around in his seat to see if he could spot this brunette girl Zayn had spotted. All he could see however was the back of some blokes head. So he wasn't sure if he should give it some time and maybe she wouldn't hit if off with the bloke and then Harry could make his move, or if she was hitting it off and it would be best to move in before he totally blew a chance that could've been the best thing that had happened to him like ever. "Okay better question, should I go over there and make a move and try and show whoever that bloke is up, or let it go and try see what happens?" He asked Zayn though he wasn't really sure Zayn would give him an answer. "This is why you have Sage isn't it?" He asked, he knew that Zayn and the fiery-haired girl had met at uni orientation and kind of clicked though he didn't really know a whole lot about their relationship, and he knew that she helped him pick up girls but he'd never really known how. Of course he'd never really seen her help him get a girl in person. And Harry hadn't really ever thought about it, probably because he'd never really thought he had a problem picking up chicks. He was just confused right now about this one girl because he hadn't gotten a good look at her and didn't wanna lose his chance before he even got it.

---

Sage tucked her hair behind her ear and walked right up to the bar ready to flirt her ass off and get some free drinks. She hadn't been here before, this wasn't exactly hers or Zayn's scene. It was too crowed for one, the drinks were way to pricey for her to even want to enjoy one unless someone else was buying it for her, and the people here she knew weren't people she'd want to hang around. Half the girls looked way to desperate. Or at least she thought so, of course she didn't really see what guys found attractive about girls wearing clothes that left little to the imagination. And then there were the guys, who looked like they came from the slums and would not know how to show anyone a good time unless that good time required all moods being killed by their friends shagging some girl they'd just met or a hooker they'd paid for in the next room. Honestly, Sage didn't see what was so great about this place. And not a one of the guys at the bar was really catching her attention, so her next plan would have to work. Which was just simply sitting with the guys and making Harry buy her a pint since he'd insisted on them all coming here tonight and clearly he was the only one who had any interest in this place.

Arielle was honestly hoping that her perceptiveness would get rid of the guy, but it hadn't. The truth was, she was just really good at reading people, and something about this guy just didn't rub her the right way. He seemed like a total low-life if she was honest, and if he lived in Hackney, well, that couldn't be all that inaccurate at all. So, she continued on with her little story of sorts, hoping it all would scare him off. "And what if something comes from you buying me a drink? What happens a year from now? I'll tell you myself. You'll feel pressured to get married and have kids because that's what you think that I want. You'll be afraid to really grow up and become an adult, and then we'll go and visit your parents Chelsea during the summers. And I'll be nervous and worried because your mom'll hate me. Won't think I'm good enough...or smart enough...or pretty enough for that matter. And guess what? She might be right." She watched him with raised eyebrows, a glint of something in her eyes as she waited.

---

"From what I could tell, yeah." Zayn said with a slight nod. "If you don't plan on passing up an opportunity for a great shag, I would get your skinny arse over there, mate." He smirked slightly. If there was one thing that Zayn knew about Harry it was that he never let a good opportunity for a great shag pass him by. And he'd been telling his curly-haired friend the truth when he said that the girl was fit. She was and from where he was standing, he could see the side of her face and the obviously unamused expression that had crossed it. "She doesn't seem all that into the bloke that she's talking to either. It probably wouldn't be all that hard for you to show him up." And he knew, without a doubt, that it was only a matter of time before Harry was heading on over there to chat her up and show up the wanker that was talking to her.

Harry pushed his finger through his curls and stood up to leave the booth, "well then I don't know why I'm still here." He said jumping up from his seat and quickly leaning over the table to smile at his friends. "Don't wait up." He told them with a wink and headed off towards where this bird was. It was time to put the charm on and show this bloke how to pick up a pretty girl at a bar. Something that Harry was sure he knew how to do. He brushed himself off as he approached and kind leaned over towards the bloke. "I don't really think she's interesting. Thanks." He said looking up and taking the drink from the bar and downing it. "You should also think about getting a new drink, this shit is nasty." He added setting the cup down and moving so the bloke could leave in a huff. Clearly he wasn't very happy, but Harry didn't really care. Once he'd sat down he turned to the pretty brunette girl and smiled, dimples and all, "can I get you a drink? A good drink?"

---

"Where'd Harry run off to in a rush?" Sage asked when she'd found the lads and slipped into the booth with them. "Actually don't tell me, he found a girl. And he left poor Liam here with you." She said shaking her head and leaning into Liam jokingly. Zayn was good company so she was sure Liam didn't mind spending time with him, and they were lads. Still though she really didn't think Liam should be here, she didn't think he needed a hooker either. Honestly she thought they should let Liam deal with this how he thought he should deal with it. Of course with their support. Even if that meant eating ice cream and watching sappy movies like a bunch of girls. He was with her a long time and maybe jumping into something with someone new wasn't a good idea. One night stands and what not just wasn't for everyone. "You should both come dance with me." She finally said, "I love this song. It's one of my favorites and I promise I'm good dancer Liam."

The dude didn't even get the chance to say anything in response to her words, though Arielle could tell that he was even more stunned, and maybe even a bit pissed off. He obviously hadn't expected her to reject him. She was looking for a hook-up, but she did have standards and her standards were no low-lives, and well, this dude was definitely giving off a low-life sort of vibe. She turned, eyebrows raising when she saw the curly-haired guy that she'd spotted walking into the club a few minutes earlier. To be totally honest, she was relieved that he'd walked over when he did. She watched as the low-life stood with a huff and stalked off before turning to look back to her "savior". "Yeah, I think you can." She said, smiling slightly.

---

"What's that supposed to mean?" Zayn asked, raising an eyebrow. "Liam's better in my company than he would be in Harry's." He took a sip of his beer. "You're back much sooner than I expected. Didn't see any blokes who caught your eye?" He asked, eyeing his fiery-haired friend. He didn't know why, but he was kind of glad that she hadn't found a guy to go home with. He would never actually come out and say it though, especially because he didn't really know the reasoning behind it himself. "She's a liar, mate. She's a shit dancer. Don't let her fool you." He smirked slightly. "You two go ahead. I'm going to stay here." Liam said, urging the two of them to go off.

Harry smiled at her again, "so do you have a poison? Or are you a girl who likes to be surprised?" He asked her wondering what to get her to drink, he was just planning on a beer for himself. He didn't usually like to go overboard with his drinks, and whatever the hell that guy who'd been here before him had gotten was really bad and he didn't wanna get anything like that. "I'm Harry by the way." He told her knowing Zayn was right. It was totally the right choice for him to have walked over here. She was a fit bird, from the few words he'd heard so far she didn't sound like she was from around her, and Harry kind of had a thing from girls not from here. He didn't know why though. She was probably the fittest bird in this place really, he hadn't seen anyone on the walk over and according to Zayn she'd been checking him out before he'd walked over here anyways, so it all worked out.

---

"That's because Harry doesn't know how to keep company at a bar unless you're a fit girl he wants to shag." Sage told them knowing it might've been kind of harsh, but it was true. He was great, but the guy didn't know how to actually stay with the group if there were fit birds around. "Uh no. I'm not really big on skeezy guys who have no idea how to romance a girl at all." She told them knowing there might've been a couple guys she'd seen in the past who weren't really the most romantic types but at least they'd put forth some effort. All the guys she'd seen here were totally not the type she wanted to go anywhere with. "Are you sure Liam? Zayn's just being an arse about me being a bad dancer. I'm actually really good." She said though she was pretty sure he didn't wanna get out and she'd respect that, while also keeping an eye on him from afar.

Arielle had a feeling that this was her guy. This was the guy that she would, hopefully, hook-up with that night. He didn't seem like a creep or a low-life, and well, she couldn't deny the fact that he was rather attractive. That bit was actually a fairly obvious one. "Rum and coke." She answered. She wasn't someone who liked to be surprised. Not too surprised at least, and when it came to her alcohol, she knew what she liked and that was it. "Arielle." She offered him a slight smile. "So, do you always hit on girls at bars who are already being hit on?" She was someone who simply said what was on her mind. She didn't worry about coming across as overly blunt or anything like that. This was who she was and there was no changing her.

---

"I suppose you're right." Zayn said, letting out a soft chuckle. Harry was one of his best mates, but all he ever really seemed to care about was women and sex. If you were to get to know the curly-haired lad, it would be clear that he actually had a good heart, and he was a very driven person as well, but for some reason he'd never really tried out serious relationships before. Zayn didn't know why and neither did Liam. He didn't think anyone other than Harry really knew why he was the way that he was. He shot a cheeky grin Sage's way in response to her later words before casting his glance back over to Liam. "I'm positive. You two go have fun. Find a fit bird so that he can get laid tonight. I'll be fine right where I am."

"Rum and coke it is then." Harry said calling over the bartender to order their drinks and lay down some money to pay before he turned back to her with a smile. "I can't really say I do." He told her knowing he normally didn't hit on girls who were already being hit on. "But I could tell you weren't really enjoying his company and thought that I'd cut in and get him out of your hair." He told her, plus he'd kind of not wanted to lose his chance with this girl because he was pretty sure she was the one for him tonight and well letting some other bloke who clearly didn't even know how to entertain her wasn't what he planned to let happen. So here he was now while that other bloke was off who knew where trying to pick up some girl actually stupid enough to go home with him.

---

"Of course I'm right." Sage told Zayn matter-of-factly. She knew that Harry was a good bloke, and okay guy, whatever you wanted to call him. He was. But they all knew that for whatever reason the kid was driven and didn't take relationships serious. He was more of a one night stand kind of guy and that's just how Harry had been since she'd met him forever ago so she just accepted it. "Yea I'm not helping him find a fit bird to take home tonight unless he finds me a bloke I can stand to be around." She joked before she laced her arm with Zayn's and drug him off to the dance floor to dance with him. It'd be fun, and well she was here so she was going to have fun, and considering Zayn was the only guy she knew she could have any fun with right now she was going to have some fun with him.

"Did I make it that obvious?" Arielle asked, letting out a quiet laugh. She knew that she had been acting pretty obvious about the whole thing. Really, she probably could have gone a little easier on the guy, but he'd honestly kind of just really creeped her out. Plus, he lived in Hackney. That already said so much about him. Even if she was looking for a hook-up tonight, she had standards. She wasn't going to sleep with just anyone. The guy she was talking to now though, well, he seemed fairly decent. He had this rather charming aura about him and she was rather curious to see if the vibe she got from him was correct. He definitely didn't seem like he was the type of guy you'd find walking around Hackney, and she could also tell that he probably wasn't looking for anything too serious.

---

"You say that as if you're right all the time." Zayn commented. "Which is definitely the farthest thing from true." He added soon after, a cheeky grin tugging at the corners of his lips. He knew that she knew Harry as well as he did. Hell, Liam did too, and none of them could never really figure out why he was the way he was. He had never taken relationships seriously in the past, and it still hadn't seemed to change. It was strange considering that in every other case he always had good intentions and he was a hard worker too. He just liked hooking up with fit birds. And not just one every once and a while. He had a list of girls' numbers that he called for a late night booty-call throughout the week. "I don't think you'll be finding one around here tonight, babe. Hate to burst your bubble." He chuckled softly as he walked with her towards the dance floor.

"Well kind of, I mean I don't blame you though. He was probably from like Hackney or something and those guys make most girls kind of uneasy." Harry told her knowing that guys like him weren't really what girls with standards liked. Luckily Harry had standards himself and knew how to live up to a girls standards too. He dressed nice, but not too nice, he put on the charm, but again not too much, and well he had dimples. He also knew how to hold conversation and make sure that the girls always knew where they stood. Which was that he wasn't looking for anything serious right now, and maybe one day but not today. He of course also liked to get to know the girls that he shagged too. There was something about knowing who you were sleeping with that he thought was a good idea. He knew everyone he slept with by first name and well he'd always bring drinks or whatever to make sure they had a good time. He might've been slightly womanizing, but none of the girls he had relations with complained so neither did he.

---

"I'm right enough though." Sage told him sticking her tongue out at him while they walked towards the dance floor. She knew she wasn't right all the time, but he didn't really have room to talk either because he wasn't right all the time either. Really she'd say they were both right and wrong equally. They were both right about Harry though. He liked hooking up with fit birds and somehow keeping them charmed enough to get them to sleep with him more than once if that was what he wanted, and he put everything he had into everything he did. She was sure that included all the sex he had. "Which is why neither of us are going home with anyone else." She told him knowing she wasn't about to walk home alone from this place, she wasn't taking a cab home alone either. Which she knew would happen if Zayn found a bird to take home. Harry was already chatting someone up who he'd leave with, Liam would probably leave alone way before the rest of them did, and if Zayn found someone but she didn't then she'd be stuck going home alone and that wasn't happening. Plus she wouldn't mind going home with Zayn and just hanging out and watching a movie or something to end this night.

"He actually was from Hackney now that you mention it." Arielle said, letting out a soft laugh. And she'd thought that she was the only one perceptive enough to pick up on things like that. "I honestly don't really see what the hype about this place is. This really isn't my scene at all." She scrunched her nose up slightly as she glanced around, taking in all of the people before looking back to the green-eyed man sitting before her. She knew that, if they did end up hooking-up, he wouldn't be a complete low-life like that other guy was. She had a feeling that, maybe, just maybe, he had standards too. And she also couldn't deny the fact that he was attractive. What could she say? She was a sucker for nice eyes and dimples.

---

"Not nearly as much as you would think." Zayn teased, returning the gesture and sticking his tongue out right back at her. See, this was why they were best mates. They got on really well and ragged on each other constantly, but it was still fairly obvious that they understood and cared about each other. Sage had been there for him in times when no one else had been, and he definitely cherished the friendship that they had. He'd never actually come out and say girly shit like that, but he had a feeling that it was something that didn't actually need to be spoken. It was simply understood. "When did we make this decision exactly?"

"Figures." Harry said shaking his head, "yea I came with my mates because I thought it would live up to the hype. So far you're the best thing I've found. And I think Sage might've been right about this place. Which means she probably won't be letting me pick where we all go for drinks again." He said knowing they wouldn't have even came if he hadn't been so persistent about this place. "Sage by the way isn't my girlfriend or anything.She's just my mates fiery haired wing woman." He told her not wanting her to think something was up with them. That'd happened once before and it'd been really uncomfortable. He thought she was fit and all but nothing would ever happen between them. Zayn would probably kill him actually if something happened and Harry enjoyed his life to much to die because of Sage of all people. Plus he had this feeling that something might happen with those two eventually and Harry didn't wanna stand in their way.

---

"Okay. Whatever." Sage said shrugging her shoulders and slipping her arm out of his so they could actually dance to the music. She did love to dance. And especially to music she could grind to. Though she wasn't one who liked to grind unless it was with an attractive bloke. Which none of the guys were. "I made it for you just now." She told him like it were obvious. "I'm not standing around outside this place waiting to hail a can by myself while you and Harry both leave with girls you don't even know. Anything could happen and this place is filled with creepy blokes I'd rather avoid all together. Plus I really wanna watch a movie or something and just chill on your couch. And Emma texted me earlier telling me she's having her boyfriend over tonight and he kind of creeps me out. So you're stuck with me for the whole night." She told him doubting he'd care anyways since it wasn't like he'd had his eye on anyone yet. He would've told her if he had.

"I'm the best thing you've found, huh?" Arielle asked, a light, teasing tone to her voice. She was honestly rather flattered, and she was sure that that was the sort of outcome that he was hoping for. He definitely seemed like the type of guy who knew how to successfully charm a person. With those curls and dimples, most women were probably putty in his hands. "Sage isn't your girlfriend...note taken." She smiled slightly, taking a sip of her drink. She hadn't really thought that he would be here talking to her if he had a girlfriend. He didn't seem like the type of person who would do something like that. He seemed like he had class and standards which was why she was hoping that he might be the one she went home with tonight. He was one of the only guys she had seen here so far that didn't rub her the wrong way.

"I wasn't aware that part of your job as my best mate was to make decisions for me." Zayn said, a small grin tugging at the corners of his lips. He really didn't care that he wouldn't be going home with a fit bird tonight. Unlike Harry, that didn't need to be the outcome of every night out for him. "Damn." He mumbled teasingly, the grin on his face widening. He chuckled softly soon after. "Kidding. I'm fine with that so long as I get to choose the movie this time around. There's no way in hell that I'm watching a bloody chick flick again." He made a face at the mere thought. Last time they'd just hung out and watched movies, Sage had picked out something that was most likely based off of a Nicholas Sparks novel. It was horrible.

Harry nodded his head. "Yea. I mean I thought because it was new and all I thought there would be more fit birds I found attractive and all but you're the only one. Which isn't a bad thing. Maybe it's a good thing. Like a sign that we were supposed to meet." He said knowing that was kind of cheesy, but oh well it was already out there now. "Yea I wouldn't be over here if she were because she'd probably kill me my sleep for that. I'll also never be with her because while she's fit my mate would likely kill me if anything happened with us. They're kind of really close and well I like my life so she's.off limits. Which I just needed to tell you because some girls see me arrive with her or see me talking to her and assume were together or that I try and charm her when no ones looking. But I don't."

"Well now you are." Sage told him, "I knew you would be. And I guess I can let you pick a movie this time. Though I thought that I'd picked a great movie last time." She said knowing he'd only hated it because he hated when she made him watch her chick flicks with. She only made him though because she knew she could get away with it. "The only good thing about this place is they know how to play good music." She told him when yet another song she knew came on. And before she missed the chance to dance to this song too she was throwing her arms in the air like everyone else and moving closer to Zayn, though she'd already been pretty close, so she could dance/grind with him.
