"Hot girls at three o'clock." Dakota heard Mia whisper from his right. He casually looked in the direction her head was tilted, seeing two girls standing by the bar, a drink in hand.
"Jackpot." He murmured in reply, feeling the corner of his lips quirk up into a smile.
"How should we approach them? Should I start singing gay bar by electric six?" Her lips twisted into a thoughtful frown.
Dakota couldn't stop the laugh that burst from him at that sentence.
"Pffft, that's coming on a bit too strong don't you think?" He turned towards her, grinning widely. She fought a smile, trying to look serious.
"Not if I do it a cappella." She dead panned.
"I don't think the queer national anthem will work here." He rolled his eyes.
"Isn't the queer national anthem a Lady Gaga song?" She asked, raising her eyebrow. He shook his head, not even knowing where to start with a question like that.
"Enough about that, we should go over before someone else does." He said impatiently.
"Right." She nodded to herself, digging around in her satchel for something. He eyed her, watching as she pulled out a pair of classy black sunglasses.
"Now we match." Mia declared, sliding them on before turning towards him. He smirked, slipping his own sunglasses down from where they were resting on top of his head.
"This way they can't tell exactly where we're looking." He explained, not sure if he had told her already. Probably, he knew her for a while now and he was way too fond of wearing sunglasses indoors, she must have been curious and asked at one point.
"You tricky bastard." She was staring at him, her mouth slightly open in disbelief. He hadn't told her before then. His bad.
He slid down his sunglasses for a moment so she could see him winking at her.
She shook her head, looking up towards the ceiling as if God had the answer to why Dakota was such a dumbass.
"Right, we have to go through the dance floor to get to them." Dakota instructed, gesturing to the crowd of inebriated people.
"Why can't we just go around?" Mia asked incredulously, stepping forward from where they were both leaning against the wall.
"If we came to a nightclub we might as well dance a little bit, don't you think?"
"I don't know why I'm friends with you sometimes."
"Because you're madly in love with me?"
"Grow some tits and we'll see."
"Rude!" Dakota laughed, moving into the throng of dancing people. She rolled her eyes, following him reluctantly.
"Dake! Come back here you shithead!" She yelled, seeing him disappear somewhere, way ahead of her. She got some looks but ignored them, used to getting looks whenever she was with Dakota. He couldn't control himself sometimes, she swore.
She found him after shoving some people out of the way, and going around a couple who seemed like they were intent on having sex on the dance floor.
He'd somehow found a girl to dance with and had his arms thrown over his head, looking like he was having the time of his life.
"Bloody hell, they just can't resist you can they?" She muttered, more to herself as he probably couldn't hear her over the music. It was louder here than in the corner they were hanging out in a moment ago.
"Come on, you fucking prick." She grabbed his arm, hauling him away from the tall redhead who had attached herself to him like a parasite.
"Woah, hey! I think she was my soulmate!" Dakota had to raise his voice to make himself heard over the music. She scoffed, all too used to his bullshit. He didn't fight against her pulling him towards where the two girls were though.
They made it to the other side of the dance floor only to find the two girls had vanished. Mia looked around, hoping to see they've just stood somewhere else but it seemed like they left.
"Fucking shit!" She swore, turning an accusing glare onto Dakota. He seemed vaguely apologetic as he saw the same thing she did.
"Aw well. I guess it just wasn't fate." He shrugged, shoving one hand into his pocket. She sighed, putting one hand onto her hip.
"C'mon, I think that redhead was up for anything." He rubbed her arm, trying to comfort her, "We can go see if we can find her again."
Mia rolled her eyes, shoving Dake. "Piss off."
He just laughed, knowing she wasn't really annoyed.
"Time for attempt two!" He announced.
Mia groaned loudly.
