Nick wrapped his arms round Zoe and held on to her and Zoe held on to Nick as they waited for the Taxi. Linda stood and waited watching Nick and Zoe wrapped in each other arms and stealing glances at each other when the other wasn't looking.

Finally the taxi arrived and they climbed and Nick told the driver where to go. On the drive to the pub Zoe leant against Nick and placed her head on his shoulder. Linda looked out the window watching the streets of Bristol flash by until they reached the pub where the go out the taxi. Zoe and Linda waited on the pavement as Nick paid the driver.

"You and Nick really love each other don't you?" Linda said as Zoe who smiled and nodded her head.

"I really do love Nick" Zoe watched Nick walk back toward them.

"Everything alright, why are you looking at me like that?" Nick said as he approached Zoe who was looking at him lovingly with a huge goofy smile on her face.

"I just love you Nick Jordan and that's the way it is" Zoe said as she placed a passionate Kiss on Nicks lips. Nick kissed Zoe back with hunger and passion that was burning inside him.

"Stop it you two, Cant you wait until you get home and anyway you don't want to be done for in public indecency "Linda pulled Zoe away from Nick and linked arms with Zoe and they walked towards the pub with Nick trailing behind them.

They walked in the pub and walked over to the function room but stopped as they heard their names being called.

"Hey Zoe, Linda and a guy I don't know but would you like your usual drinks ladies" John the bartender asked with a polite smile.

"Hey John, oh no we are here for a party but thanks anyway "Linda said with her thick Liverpool accent.

"Thank's anyway John and this is my partner Nick" Zoe pointed to Nick who was already starting to talk away as he grabbed Zoe's elbow and pulled her towards the double doors.

"Who is that exactly and how does he know your names?" Nick asked Zoe as they reached the double doors.

Linda opened the double doors and held them open for Nick and Zoe who politely thanked her and walked over to Charlie.

"Happy Birthday Charlie" Zoe said as she kissed his cheek

"Happy birthday Old man" Linda laughed as she hugged Charlie who also was laughing.

"Feeling old?" Nick said as he shook his hand very business like

"Well I wasn't until you said it like that" Charlie chuckled

"Happy Birthday mate" Nick said as he let go of Charlie's hand.

"Shall we get this party started?" Linda said as she grabbed Zoe and dragged her to the bar. Nick and Charlie headed over to Jeff, Dixie, Lloyd and Scarlett.

"Hi Mate could we have 6 Jägerbombs, 6 tequila shots and 4 vodka and red bulls please" Linda said to the guy as he began to pour the drinks. A few moments later the whole bar was covered with drinks they ordered.

"Oh could we get a couple of beers too" Zoe said as she took a sip f her vodka and red bull. The bartender handed over 2 beers and Linda handed over the correct money.

"ready to do shots" Linda squealed as she grabbed a shot and handed it to Zoe who took it willingly

"Ok 1.2.3" they both knocked back their shots and made faces as the shots were strong.

"God that was strong" Zoe said as she started coughing which made Linda laugh.

"Let's do more" Zoe slammed her empty shot glass on the bar top and grabbed another and waited for Linda to grab hers.

"Ok 1.2.3" Slam went their empty shot glass.

"Shall we go and see everyone?" Linda asked slurring her words slightly as she grabbed a vodka and red bull and walked over to where the gang where, Zoe walked over carrying her drink and a beer for Nick.

"Hey everyone" Linda said cheerfully as she took a sip and smiled at her work colleagues. Zoe handed Nick a beer who thanked Zoe and placed a kiss on her cheek and placed his free arm round Zoe.

"I can't believe Mr. J is here" Noel said as he joined the group with a large ice cold beer. Nick raised his eye brow at noel who looked nervous but Nick dropped the boss look and smiled at noel and patted his back

"Don't look so nervous, I know I am your boss but tonight I am just Nick" Nick said as he wrapped his arm back round Zoe and pulled her in close.

An hour so later everyone were getting rather drunk as they didn't have work the next morning or children to look after. Linda and Zoe made their way to the dance floor and started dancing and having a good time. Nick was sitting with the lads talking about football and girls. Lenny arrived at 9pm and made his way over to the lads with a beer and joined in the conversation. Linda spotted Lenny as he made his way over to his friends.

"I'll be right back" Linda said to Zoe who nodded to say she understood and carried on dancing as Linda made her way over to Lenny. Lenny placed his beer on the table and carried on talking unaware that Linda was seconds away from him.

"Guess who "Linda said as she placed her hands over Lenny's eyes.

"Oh I don't know who that could "lenny said sarcastically

Linda removed her hands as Lenny spun round and wrapped his arms around Linda and lifted her up and spun her round as she squealed with excitement.

Lenny put Linda down and kissed her passionately on the lips which Linda deepened and wrapped her arms around his neck. After being left alone for so long Zoe wondered back over and placed her arms round Nick who was starting to feel rather well gone as he couldn't keep his balance.

"Sorry Zo, do you want to go dance again , oh who care if you say no I freaking love this song" Linda grabbed Zoe and pulled her away from Nick who tripped and spilt his drink over his expensive Armani suit but Nick was far too gone to notice he had ruined his posh suit.

Lenny feeling left behind made his way over to bar and did a load of shots and beers until he began to feel sick but he was feeling rather sick but rather drunk which pleased him as he made his way over to Linda and Zoe who were too busy dancing.

Everything was going smoothly until Sean the pediatrician came over to Zoe and grabbed her by the hips and began to dance with her and Zoe was absolutely plastered so she didn't know who she was dancing with. Nick watched the crowd of Dancers and dropped his drink as he saw Sean and Zoe dancing and from Zoe's face she was rather enjoying it. Nick stormed over and shoved Sean to the side who nearly fell over.

"Nick what's your problem?" Sean asked as he regained his balance.

"You're dancing with Zoe and I don't know whether you know this but she is mine" Nick said as he pushed Sean. Sean shoved Nick hard which send him flying in to the dancers Nick was unaware that he Knocked Zoe to the floor as he went flying. Zoe got up and brushed herself off but felt rather sore as she did fall every hard on the wooden floor.

"Are you alright Zoe" Linda asked as she helped checked her friend over the next thing they new Sean fell to the floor unconscious as Nick shook his rather sore hand with bleeding knuckles which gave them answer they were looking for which was what happened and who punched who.

Well I hope you all enjoyed that as it was rather fun to right. I know writing Sean in was rather random but I thought I would add a bit of drama .
