I hope you will like this chapter and all the mistakes are all mine sadly well I hope you enjoy this chapter.

A huge thank you to all my faithful readers who review every time I update and you know who you are. God bless you all. Well enjoy.

Zoe and Nick arrived at the pub and instantly found the group as you could hear them from miles away laughing loudly in the corner of the pub.

"Right who wants another drink?" Sam asked

They all told Sam what they wanted Sam asked Zoe and Nick as they joined the group and Sam and went and got the drinks.

"You made it "Linda cheered as see saw Nick and Zoe sit down on the small leather sofa which they cuddled up to one another.

Zoe smile at Linda at how child like she could be at times.

Big Mac looked round the group as he felt left out because nearly everyone had partners. There was Scarlet and Lloyd with Lloyd's arm around Scarlet's shoulders, Linda was resting her head on Lenny's shoulder. Nick and Zoe with Nicks arm around Zoe pulling her close to him and whispering in her ear making her laugh.

"Here we are guys" Sam placed the tray on the table that was already covered in empty glasses. Sam handed everyone a shot each except for Charlie and Tess.

"Let's do shots" Linda screamed

"Ok on 3 1.2.3 "Zoe said as she raised her glass ready. They all knocked back their shots and slammed the empty glasses on the table.

"God that was rank, what the hell was it Sam" Zoe asked as she took a sip of her drink to get rid of the taste Nick laughed at how out spoken Zoe was at times.

"I think it was after shock the blue one" Sam said rather unsure as she shrugged her shoulders

"I quite liked it actually" Nick said as he placed his hand on Zoe's knee.

"Right I'm getting another one, who wants one?" Nick asked as he got up nearly knocking the whole table over.

Lenny, Linda, Scarlet, Lloyd, Sam and Zoe all said they would do another one.

Zoe got up and made her way to the bar to help Nick carry the drinks. Zoe placed her arms around Nick's waist and hugged him from behind.

Nick made his way back with Zoe behind carrying 4 shots per person.

After several more rounds they all felt rather relaxed and merry and clearly didn't care what they were doing because Linda was making out with Lenny and Lloyd and Scarlet were rather dancing kind of raunchy and didn't care. Nick and Zoe were also making out with Zoe sitting on Nick's lap which was a thing they never did in public but no one was bothered by what they were doing partly because they were drunk and anything goes when you get drunk.

Charlie and Tess left the group as they had an early shift tomorrow so they called it a night.

Big Mac and Sam were chatting and they had quite a lot in common than they thought.

Linda managed to pull away from Lenny and went to the bar and bought another round of shots for everyone which turned out to be the last shot for everyone.

After that last shot everyone decided to call it a night as it was only 9pm and they all were rather drunk so Scarlet and Lloyd walked home as they lived round the corner. Sam got into a taxi with Big Mac as they didn't live that far away from each other and Big Mac didn't want Sam going home alone in her state.

Lenny and Linda got a taxi home which left Nick and Zoe waiting for a taxi. It was a cold night tonight so Nick opened his arms and wrapped them around Zoe who he could feel shivering as she had a light coat.

"Oh thank you sir" Zoe said as she wrapped her arms around Nick and squeezed him tight.

"I love you Zoe, you know that right?"Nick placed a soft kiss on the top of Zoe's head.

"Of course I do and I love you too Nick"

Eventually their taxi arrived and Nick told the driver the address as best he could without slurring the words. Nick took hold of Zoe's hand and held it all the way home.

"Oh God Zoe, I feel sick" Nick whinged as soon as they stepped in the house.

"awww my poor baby but , it is your own fault" Zoe said as she shoved Nick on the sofa with a bowl just in case he couldn't make it to be sick in the toilet.

Zoe left Nick to moan and groan about how sick he felt and got changed in to track suit trousers and a baggy t shirt. Zoe was surprised at how sober she was considering she drank the same amount as Nick.

Nick felt the sickness subside so he decided to change into something more comfy and when he returned he found Zoe laying on the couch watching TV looking adorable and very much like Savannah as she liked to lay and watch the TV. Nick walked over to where Zoe was sitting and Zoe got up so Nick could sit down and so she could cuddle up with Nick on the sofa and watch TV which they hardly get time to do with the girls and because of their hectic work schedule.

Nick and Zoe stayed wrapped in each other's arms watching a romantic comedy "the Holiday" starring Cameron Diaz and Jude Law until they started drifting off to sleep so Nick helped Zoe up and they walked to their room where they both climbed into bed and cuddled up to each other and feel asleep wrapped into each other's arms.

Nick and Zoe woke up to Soft Sun light shining through the blinds of the room making long shadows. Nick laid in bed watching Zoe sleep peacefully as her chest was moving up and down softly with her breathing.

"Stop it I know what you are doing Nick" Zoe said as she knew Nick was looking at her even with her eyes closed Zoe opened her eyes to see if Nick was still looking at her.

"Sorry I can't help it "Nick said as he kissed Zoe passionately who reciprocated by kissing him back with more force and hunger for him. Their passionate kissed turned into something more physical until Nick shot out of the bed and rushed to the toilet to be sick as he clearly had a hangover. Zoe laughed so hard as she had never known Nick to get a hangover until now.

Nick walked back into the room looking even paler than before and climbed back into bed and cuddled up to Zoe like a child as he moaned and held his head which was pounding.

"Awww my poor baby" Zoe said as she held Nick close to her chest and kissed to the top if his pounding head which made him wince in pain.

"Mum, dad" Ella shouted as she opened the door to their house as she had her own key to use in emergencies.

Nick moaned and pulled the cover over his head as he heard Ella yell their names.

"Zoe please make her stop" Zoe heard Nick mumble under the covers which made Zoe laugh.

"We are in are room" Zoe yelled back to Ella.

"Why the hell are you yelling too, please stop" Nick moaned

"Hi Mum... Dad... O.M.G what the hell are you 2 doing" Ella said as she saw Zoe and a lump next to her under the covers which had to be her dad.

"Never mind" Ella said as she sat on the edge of the bed.

Sorry I wasn't sure where to cut it off as I could have gone on forever haha. Well I hope you enjoyed that. You know what to do wonderful people .
