The five friends walked into the club and headed towards the bar. Ant and Alice were already getting on really well and whilst Lauren was pleased Joey was indifferent. He liked Ant but Alice was his little sister and he was protective of her. Overly protective Lauren had once told him, he frowned as he thought about it; he so was lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Lauren talking to him, she touched his hand gently
'What's wrong?' she asked him concern etched on her face
He shook his head and he smiled 'Nothing I was miles away' he told her 'Just worrying about Alice'
'Relax babe, Alice is perfectly safe with Ant' she told him firmly 'Trust me he won't hurt her'
'I do trust you and he better not or he'll have me to answer to' he replied,
'You'll have to wait until I'm done with him' Lauren replied
Joey laughed and he picked up his drink and they walked through the club looking for the others.
'Can we just pretend that we don't see them waving like maniacs?' Lauren asked Joey 'Find a table of our own in a dark secluded private corner?'
'As much as I would love to say yes to that babe, I think they know that we've seen them' he told her softly
'Damn it' she said, he put his hand on the small of her back as he led her towards them.
'There's a seat here Joey' Lucy smiled at him
'You take that one, I want to sit closer to Alice' he told her and he moved round the group to sit at the other side of the table
Lauren nodded and took the seat next to Lucy 'I saved this for Joey' Lucy hissed at her
'And he gave it to me he wants to keep an eye on his sister' Lauren replied taking a long drink of her ice cold coke. Lucy scowled and turned in her seat so that Lauren faced her back, which if Lauren was honest was fine with her. Lucy did however steer the conversation away from Lauren so she wasn't included.
After Lauren had finished her drink she got up and walked over to the bar and sat down on a stool and began to have a conversation with the new barman Eddie. They hit it off straight away and they were both laughing and joking with each other in between Eddie having to serve people. Whitney noticed she was missing a while later and frowned
'Where's Lauren?' she looked around at the table and then the club. 'Lucy, where's Lauren?'
Lucy shrugged 'I don't know I'm not her keeper'
Whitney went to check the toilets and when she came back she was worried 'Well she wouldn't have just left without saying anything to anyone'
'Well then maybe she hasn't left' Lucy said 'She's probably hooked up with a random guy. You know what she's like. That's one of the reasons Peter broke up with her, she couldn't keep her knickers on around other blokes' Lucy grinned not realising that Lauren had come back over with a drink
'What did you say?' Lauren asked her, Lucy turned to look at Lauren
'Nothing I was messing around' Lucy waved her hand dismissively
'No you weren't Lucy' Whitney frowned
'I've got this Whit' Lauren said and she put her drink down on the table 'I asked you a question Lucy' Lauren said, Lucy looked at her and she swallowed 'What did you say?' she repeated 'what too much of a coward to say it to my face?' she asked her 'Come on Lucy I'm waiting!' she raised her voice. Lucy shrunk lower in her seat 'Yeah that's what I thought. For your information I broke up with Peter because he was cheating on me with Zsa Zsa and the only person here who has problems keeping her knickers on is you, especially when it comes to other people's boyfriends' she spat at her angrily.
Whitney rushed over to Tyler 'You have to stop Lauren. She and Lucy are having a fight'
'They always have fights' Tyler said 'It'll blow over'
'Tyler now' Whitney said, he turned at the urgent tone in his girlfriend's voice and he tapped Joey on the shoulder as he stood up,
'What's up?'
'Lauren and Lucy' Tyler replied.
'At least I'm not following around my cousin like a little lost puppy dog' Lucy retorted
'Well actually Lucy you are, my cousin, Joey? Ring any bells?' she asked her as she leant on the table getting her face as close to Lucy as she could 'HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN YOU LUCY!' she yelled in her face 'WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING THE MESSAGE?'
Joey and Tyler followed by Whitney came over to us 'Okay girls why don't we calm down hey? Lauren come and get a drink with me at the bar' Tyler said and he took Lauren's arm and tried to lead her away from the table, she yanked her arm free as Lucy stood up suddenly feeling brave now that Joey was there
'You mean like Ryan wasn't interested in you?' Lucy said 'I mean he got into my bed quick enough. He said you were a frigid bitch'
'Lucy!' Whitney exclaimed she looked at Lauren for her reaction, Lauren just smiled at her
'Funny that, that's exactly what Ryan said about you when he begged me to take him back, he said sex with you was like fucking a rock, unresponsive, pointless and totally unsatisfying'
Lauren come on let's go have a dance hey?' Whitney tried to pull her away from Lucy, Lucy stood up.
'Come on Lauren' Joey said softly, he took her wrist in his hand 'Lets go for a walk hey?' Lauren turned to look at him and she nodded
'Yeah that's right walk away' Lucy said 'I always knew you were all mouth no action' she shouted at her as Joey started to lead her away.
'Lauren don't do anything you're going to regret' Joey said as he felt her stop walking and stiffen beside him.
She spun round and marched back over to Lucy stopping inches away from her 'Alright come on then Luce, you want hit me, then hit me, I dare you' Lauren said to her, Lucy cowered and took a couple of steps back. 'Yeah that's what I thought' Lauren said 'Squealy Bealey just your old man' Lauren picked up her drink and turned and walked back to Joey and he led her to another part of the club out of sight of the others.
'What the hell was that about?' he asked her
She's been pushing my buttons all night' Lauren told him with a frown 'and then she's mouthing off behind my back and hasn't got the guts to say it to my face' she told him 'She's been moody since the pub'
'Look ignore her babe' Joey said and he tucked her hair behind her ear 'She's not worth it' he told her
'I can't help it, she just winds me up'
'Come here' he said and he pulled her towards him and into his arms. 'Why don't you come and sit with me at the other end of the table?' he asked me 'And if you are very lucky I may even let you stay over at my place tonight, I'm kind of interested in that naked lap dance you promised me'
Lauren laughed 'Okay fine. But if Lucy even looks at me I'm gonna punch her in the face'
'Noted' Joey said he pulled her away so he could look at her and he smiled 'Come on' he said. He took her hand and he led her back over the table and round to his end. She took a seat next to Ant and Joey sat beside her. Soon they were all laughing and joking together, Lucy glared at them and got up and left the club.
AN: Okay so Lucy didn't get bitch slapped….yet.
Keep reading for more excitement in the lives of Joey, Lauren, Whitney and co.
R&R as always and enjoy.
