Will was left stunned on the side of the pavement by Beth's sudden action he knew his behaviour had been a little off but he wasn't used to have someone care for him and just be there no questions asked. Will didn't know what to do. Nate shouted him from the doors of the pub and he knew it was time to let Beth in. Will waited anxiously for her to answer her intercom. Will buzzed a few more times with still no answer he was beginning to worry.
"Do you want to be let in?". A small blond girl in her teens opened the door as she was heading out.
"Yes please". Will smiled politely at her before shutting the door behind him heading up to the third floor where Beth lived. Will braced himself as he knocked. Beth swung open the door expecting to find her neighbour with a parcel she had ordered the night before she went away.
"Will". Beth stood aside to let him in.
"Hi. I was worried about you so I thought I'd come round". Will sat on the edge of Beth's sofa as she finished loading the washing machine.
"well I'm fine". Beth didn't even glance over at him as she continued to tidy.
"good. Then you won't mind having a glass of wine with me then". Will noticed a small smile play on the edge of Beth's lips.

"I can't wait to get home and curl up in our own bed". Sally rested her head on Ben' shoulder.
"Oh so it's our bed now". Ben raised his eyebrows at Sally making her blush.
"nope it my bed at my place and our bed at yours". Sally winked at him.
"so that's how it is now?". Ben lightly tickled Sally making her lean in and kiss him.
"Well seen's as you are now officially my boyfriend this is how it is going to go". Sally leaned in a tenderly kissed his lips.
"well now everyone knows". Sally glanced around seeing everyone suddenly appear more interested in their drinks.
"good". Ben kissed her again relishing in he feel of her body weight leant against his chest. It was easy to get along with Sally and there was some fun side to nobody knowing about them he could understand why people preferred to keep it secret the mystery and wondering was exciting but there was nothing like sitting in the pub with friends next to your girlfriend having a nice drink to end of a good weekend with good friends.

"Here's to a good weekend with good friends". Nate clinked his glass against Mel's pleased that it had worked out, been faithful to one person seemed like it was the worst thing in the world to him three days ago but now he didn't ven check out the new barmaid the pub had hired since they left. The only person Nate wanted was in front of him it seemed like such a cliché to find the person you wanted to be with was the person who had been there the whole time Nate had never really understood the saying but now he was living it. Mel leaned in and kissed Nate after seeing his dream expression Nate closed his eyes and leaned into Mel releasing the full power of his lips on hers.
"Hey guys". Sally stood up as Beth and Will entered hand in hand.
"Hi". Beth hugged Sally tight.
"I'll get the drinks in Will dragged his hand along Beth's back as she sat next to Sally and the two girls began talking just like they had done before they went away only stopping when Mel came to sit with them. Nate and Ben got up to join Will at the bar just watching over the girls giggling as per usual.
