Ok sorry about the late upload, Ive been rather sick...Lets hope I don't get hospitalised this time!
Please review!
The night was going pretty alright. We had a few drinks at the bar and then decided to join Paul, Nina, Ian, Kat and Candice. They were a fun group of people, always up for a laugh, so when the bar brought out karaoke there were a few excited ones within our group.
"Ohh Alex! Please come up and sing a song with me" Liz said, her eyes shining with a happiness that can only be created with a generous amount of alcohol. I looked back at her with slight stage fright.
"Uhh no sorry Liz, I don't do public singing!" I responded. Candice looked at me and giggled.
"No worries Liz, I'll come up with you" Candice said happily.
Once Liz and Candice got up on stage Ian came over and sat next to me.
"Hey, we meet again" Ian said as he sat down. I looked up from my drink and smiled. Gosh, I thought to myself, what a time to become shy.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" He asked. I just smiled and nodded at home, silently kicking myself for my impromptu mute action. I was really going to have to work on that.
"Are you ok? You seem rather quiet" He asked concerned at my quietness.
"Sorry, I have trouble talking around big stars, something I have to work on I guess" I replied with a small smile
He grinned back at me. "I don't regard myself as a big star but thank you, and no worries, just pretend I'm a friend, rather than a big star. Soooo do you think you'll get up there". And he gestured to the stage where Liz and Caroline were killing "Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
"No, I don't do the whole public humiliation via singing thing" I said, feeling a bit more comfortable with myself. It was an eerie feeling sitting here talking to Ian. He has the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen, I was feeling embarrassed looking him in the eye. I wanted to keep staring. And that body was looking fantastic in the plain black fitted shirt.
He laughed "no, fair enough. I don't plan on getting up there anyway" He noticed my now empty glass. "Shall we get ourselves another round?"
"Sure thing, I'd better get Liz another one too." I looked around for Holly only to find her chatting some guy up over near the pool tables. "I somehow don't think she'll need me to get her a drink tonight now" I said nodding towards Holly.
A few more drinks later and the group were making a decision to go dancing at a club not too far from the bar. I was teetering on the edge of going home as I was starting to feel the effects of a long day mixed with alcohol.
"hmmm, Liz?"
"yeeeaaaah Alex?" She slurred slightly.
"I might go home. It is 1am after all" I told her.
"awww Alex!" She exclaimed."Please come with us to the club? Please? Please? Please?"
"Yeah Alex, come out with us" Ian smiled at me. I just looked up at him and sighed.
"Ohhh alright then, but not for long. I am getting pretty tired" Ian slug his arm around my shoulder, startling me
"good decision Alex. Let's go!" And he steered me out of the bar.
