'Please Christian!' begged Amira

'No' Christian replied calmly,

'Why?' she questioned

'Because like I said before, it is my first night off in ages and I want to spend it with Will'

'Will?' she question again.

'Yes you know my new boyfriend'

'Oh' replied Amira with a smile spending across her face,

Christian knew that smile all to well; she used on Syed all the time, especially when she wanted something, 'What is it?' he sighed.

'Well since none of us have met this 'Will' yet, why don't you invite him to our little meal thing?'

'No!'

'Please!' Amira was now adding her best puppy dog eyes.

'What is with all this begging?' it was Roxy joining Christian on his break.

'Nothing!' Christian insisted, but Amira buts in,

'Well I am trying to convince Christian to have a little movie night thing and invite his new boyfriend'

'Sound like a great idea! Can I come too?' Roxy pleaded

At that moment Syed came into the pub and saw Amira and Roxy talking to Christian, oh great he thought he was going to have to talk to Christian, he couldn't bear to look into those sea green eyes and not kiss him. As he approached, he was that Christian was distressed. And as he got even closer he heard Christian saying NO very loudly. 'What is going on?'

'Ah Syed, you can back us up on his' said Amira

'Yes he can' agreed Roxy.

'With, what?' he asked again.

'We are trying to get Christian to have a meal/ dinning party thing!' answered Amira

'And why do you need my help?'

'Cause he keeps saying no and he got a new boyfriend, which we just have to meet'

Syed could the distressed look that was deepening on Christian's face, Syed didn't know whether it was because Christian really didn't want to do this, or the fact that he didn't get the chance to tell Syed himself about the new boyfriend. 'Well' started Syed finally 'if Christian doesn't want to do it, than you can't make him.' A look of thankfulness appeared on Christian's face, but it was short lived.

'Well' started Roxy 'You might not be able to force him but I can, Christian I am your best mate and your boss, so if you don't do this then I will sack you'

'WHAT!' shouted Christian, some o the other punters turned their head in their direction. 'That is blackmail' he stated.

'What are you going to do about it' a cheeky smile appeared on Roxy's face.

'When is it?' asked Syed

'Tomorrow' replied Amira

'Oh I can't do tomorrow I have got to work' Syed hoped this would make it easier for Christian, but it didn't.

'No you haven't, I asked Jane if you were working tomorrow and you weren't, so there' retorted Amira

'Christian?' enquired Roxy

'Do I have I choice?'

'No' replied Roxy and Amira in unison. Christian and Syed looked at each other, and they both knew tomorrow night was going to be a long one.
