Chapter 1
Rita, Robyn, Dixie and Honey all stood outside the club shivering in the cold chatting about which club they should venture to next. Dixie pulled out her phone to order them a taxi after they had decided. All of them were too drunk to notice that Zoe hadn't followed them outside so when the taxi turned up five minutes later they didn't hesitate to get into the cab.
After a ten minute drive there, with the three out of four women trying to flirt with the driver so they wouldn't have to pay much for the lift, the taxi eventually pulled up outside the very busy venue. The four women clambered out of the cab still looking as glamorous as ever. Honey, Robyn and Dixie went over to the bouncer to get Honey to flirt with him so that they could get in before anyone else whilst Rita offered to pay the driver. "Girls wait for me!" She shouted after them; passing the driver a twenty pound note. After a few persuasion techniques from Honey's part the bouncer finally gave in and unhooked the red rope letting the girls enter. Honey leaned up and pecked the bouncer on the cheek.
They were in.
They walked down the stairs acting like they were in a girl group. The smell of sweat and alcohol hit them; the music was blaring and they could hardly hear each other; the multi-coloured spotlights bounced all over the place, highlighting people's faces. As soon as they entered the room of sweaty bodies and glitter the women straight to the bar; where they ordered themselves some cocktails which were brightly coloured and mixed with all kinds of alcohol. They all watched the way people were rubbing their bodies against others, Dixie looked over to a group of boys who were making a lot of fuss in the corner. She squinted her eyes trying to distinguish their faces but it didn't help with the strobe lighting flashing on their faces one second and then on the other the next.
"Wait a minute girls. Is that who think it is?" Dixie shouted over the pounding music, her finger pointed to where she was looking.
Honey, Robyn and Rita dodged out of the way of people's heads to try and look at where Dixie was pointing. They couldn't see much but they vaguely made out Jacobs tall, masculine build and Big Mac's atrocious moves.
"Yeh it is! Come on let's go over." Robyn called back grabbing Rita's hand and dragging her through the surge of people. Honey and Dixie followed closely behind them. They eventually pulled their through to the six men who were too busy dancing and chatting up girls to notice them turning up. Rita folded her arms and shook her head.
"All right boys?" Rita called out laughing.
The men stopped dancing to face the women who were shouting at them. They burst out laughing when they'd seen who was standing before them.
"What are you lot doing here? It's a stag night, no hens allowed." Cal said with a grin on his face.
Ethan made his way over to Honey and they disappeared off into the crowds together.
"Who cares? Let's dance!" Robyn let out hooping her arm around his, pulling him onto the dance floor.
Jacob shook his head and left to get some air. Big Mac and Noel were getting dragged by Dixie to join Cal and Robyn. That left only two people, Rita and Iain.
"Don't feel like dancing?" Rita winked getting closer to Iain so that he could hear her more clearly.
"Well nobody has asked me yet." Iain smirked.
"Right," Rita laughed. "So it's nothing to do with the fact you can't dance."
"I can! Besides how do you know I can't dance?"
"I seen you from over there, it was pretty clear that it was you."
"How rude!" Iain joked.
"But, it was from very far away I'm sure if you were to do it right now for me it would look better." Rita smiled.
"All right!"
Iain took hold of Rita's hand and pulled her onto the dance floor. He started dancing, his legs and arms flailing all over the place and it was completely out of time with the music. Rita couldn't help but laugh hysterically. When he noticed that she was laughing, he stopped and grabbed hold of her waist pulling her closer to him.
"What's wrong?" He asked slightly out of breath.
"You really can't dance!" She couldn't stop herself laughing. "I'm sorry, you're not that bad."
"I can still dance better than you."
"Hmm, I don't think so."
"Why do you say that?" Iain laughed.
Rita leaned up and whispered in his ear. "You haven't seen me dance yet." She looked back at him; arching her eyebrow and smiling mischievously. She started dancing but it didn't take her long to trip over her heels. Luckily, Iain caught her in time before she fell flat on her face. He still had hold of her waist whilst she regained her balance, she looked back at him smiling at her, and her cheeks glowed a bright red. They looked into each other's eyes, the music seemed to have stopped and it felt like they were the only ones in the room. Rita tilted her head leaning into him, their faces almost touching, their hearts racing. Iain's hands moved from her waist to the back of her neck, Rita's lips crashed onto his. She felt like she was in a dream and the world was spinning around her. She pulled away from him barely able to open her eyes.
"Like I said, I can dance better than you!" Iain laughed.
Rita smiled resting her head on his chest. She looked back up at him.
"It wasn't really a fair competition though because I am wearing heels." Rita raised an eyebrow at him.
Rita looked around her. "I better find Robyn before she starts throwing up on random strangers." She laughed, she pulled away from Iain and pushed her way through the crowds to 'try and find Robyn.' Iain was left standing there, staring scurrying away. Wow. He thought to himself.
