Cole spun around with a large grin on his face. I rolled my eyes at his excited-ness as I applied eyeliner to my eyelids. "Why are you so excited?" I asked as I attempted not to stab my eyeballs. I looked at him through the mirror as his grin grew wider.

"This is the first time we're all going out together, why wouldn't I be?" I rolled my eyes with a small chuckle as I smiled proudly at the sharp winged eyeliner I managed to actually get equal this time. Thanks to Jake, he had secured us all fake ID's, well just me, Jodie and Izzy as the boys already had one.

It was a triple date according to Jake who was more excited than any of us and had awaited me and Reece to finally swallow our pride and get together solely for this purpose. Jodie was already out in town with her mum so was meeting us at the club afterwards, hence why Cole was here bugging me while I attempted to make myself look semi-decent and 21 of course. According to Jodie the dress I was wearing already did that job and that Reece wouldn't be able to keep his hands off me.

Not that I would mind.

At all.

Shaking my head of the dirty thoughts, I quickly finished off my makeup with a red lip and stood up from my stall, looking at myself in the mirror. I had a light pink eyeshadow with a black winged eyeliner and mascara to make my lashes look longer. I also had a light coverage foundation to cover any blemishes and my hair was in a half up half down with strands pulled out at the front to frame my face. I was wearing a tight dark green dress that hugged at all my curves and ended mid-thigh. It also showed cleavage and had tight sleeves.

Reece had been back about 3 days now but we hadn't managed to get a single bit of alone time. The other night when he arrived we were soon interrupted by dad coming home as Ali wasn't feeling well. Then there was the night after that when I went over to Reece's but we ended up spending the evening looking after Ellie as Amanda was going out with her friends which was great but we couldn't exactly sit there making out in front of a 5-year-old.

Then finally there was last night which I spent with Belle at her house so that leaves tonight. It was a Friday night which was fucking great because who doesn't love the weekend?

"You ready?" Cole asked and I nodded, giving him a smile. He looked rather handsome, in a plain white t-shirt and black jeans. To be honest that outfit basically described Cole along with his black jacket.

I grabbed my own jacket and flung it over my shoulders and followed Cole down the stairs. Dad stood in the kitchen with a large smile on his face as he stood beside Ali stirring something on the stove. At the sound of us, they both turned around and I made sure to stand behind Cole so my dad couldn't see my outfit. Cole took notice of this and took a small step so he covered me. It wasn't that what I was wearing wasn't decent, but I would rather not have that conversation.

Ali smiled at us. "Where are you guys off to?"

Along with Reece, my friends had also met Ali and she told me she loved them and thought they were hilarious, especially Jake. "Just going for a meal with the others." I lied with a smile and they both smiled back. I felt a little guilty for lying but as much as dad wasn't strict, he was a lawyer and I couldn't exactly tell him we all had fake ID's so lying was simply the easier option.

"Well, have a good night." Dad breathed.

"You too." Me and Cole replied at the same time before heading out the door. We jumped into Cole's car and he began the drive into town. We were meeting the others outside the club as Jake had our ID's.

Cole spared me a glance. "Ali seems to be around a lot more." He hummed and then raised an eyebrow. "How are you coping with that?"

I shrugged as he turned his attention back to driving. "She makes him happy so that makes me happy. Plus, she's a really good cook and her food is fucking insane."

I found out a few weeks ago that Ali actually used to be a chef in a massive 5-star restaurant but quit due to the high amounts of stress and demands that came along with it. Plus, she had Harrison and felt bad always getting him a babysitter. Harrison told me that his parents divorced when he was young and spends every other night between his parents. Usually, Ali was over every other night or dad was at hers.

Cole chuckled in response. "That lasagne she made was amazing."

I grinned. "I know right! You should try her chilli, it melted in my fucking mouth it was that good. I would marry it if I could."

Cole smirked. "I don't think Reece would appreciate that."

Finding myself smiling at the sound of his freaking name alone, I tried to wipe the smile off my face. "Saw that." Cole teased and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah like you don't grin at the sound of Jodie." I retorted, fixing my hair in the mirror.

Cole laughed lightly and I noticed we were nearly there. "That's true." We soon arrived at the club and Cole found a park, right next to Jake's car. We got out and muffled a laugh as we watched Jake and Izzy making out with each other in the front seats.

I banged on the window with a large smile as they both jumped back in fright. Jake jokingly glared at me and Izzy beamed at me, opening her door and embracing me in a hug. "Hey Izzy." I hugged her back and after a couple moments she pulled back. "Hey." She then turned and greeted Cole.

"Jake." I grinned with my arms wide.

He rolled his eyes and flashed his goofy smile as he gave me a quick hug. I literally saw him a few hours ago but whatever. I glanced around and frowned when I didn't see Reece or Jodie's car. "Where are the others?"

Jake leaned against his car. "Reece said he would pick up Jodie so she didn't have to walk here on her own, they said to go in without them."

My heart warmed at Reece's gesture and I nodded along with the others. Jake fished his hand into his pocket and held his palm out to me. I took the card from his hand and rolled my eyes as I scanned over it. I looked back up at Jake who had a wide smile. "Really Jake?"

He laughed as Cole and Izzy leaned over my shoulder to see what I was talking about. "Fanny Smith." Izzy snorted as she looked at Jake with an amused smile. Cole laughed loudly in response as he threw an arm around my shoulder.

"Come on Fanny." He grinned and I rolled my eyes and followed the others towards the club's main doors. Because of my half English heritage, my mum's parents were English so my mum was English, I was aware that fanny meant vagina and hence why we all knew this. I took a quick glance around the car park to have one last check to see Reece's car before we were stopped by a bouncer.

I wasn't sure if I was overprotective or just cautious. Ever since the incident I was always scared of anything happening to Reece or anyone else really. It made me realise that your life can change in the matter of a fucking second. I knew Reece was fine and I always knew he was fine but sometimes this little part of me always had a doubt.

What if he's not?

Shaking my head of the thought, realising I couldn't think like that or it would drive me critically insane, I pulled the ID from my pocket and held it up to the bouncer. He furrowed his eyebrows and I began to panic as he didn't look convinced. This club was the most popular in our town so he was probably more than used to teenagers trying to get in. My eyes darted around slightly as the others looked a little worried.

A loud sigh snapped our attention away. "Alright, go in." The large man grunted and nodded, moving to the side to allow us in. We all smiled and I followed as Jake pushed open the door and we all followed suit. The obnoxiously loud music instantly took control of my hearing as the four of us turned to each other with grins. "We're in!" Izzy yelled and I beamed, high fiving her.

If the bouncer saw that he would definitely know we were sus.

"Come on, I need a fucking drink!" Cole called over the music and we all nodded in response, walking to the bar. The club was huge, with multi coloured lights flashing across the large dance floor. It had a rather large bar, with many people crowding it.

Cole linked arms with me so we wouldn't lose each other and pulled me towards the bar as we pushed our way through. "4 Vodka coke's please." He asked to the guy behind the bar who I must have caught his attention as his eyes were locked on mine. He smiled politely at me and hardly broke eye contact as he made the drinks.

I looked away first, and although I was looking forward to telling him I was taken, I didn't like staring at another guy. I didn't want to look at anyone else and I never would. The guy was good looking, with long dark brown hair and eyes. He was in very good shape and I could tell he was a confident guy. He sort of looked like Harry Styles, or maybe his long hair just similar. He placed all the drinks on the counter and I narrowed my eyes at him as he blatantly raked his eyes down my body. I screwed my nose up in disgust and threw down a ten dollar note before grabbing the drinks and Cole's arm.

"Creep." Cole muttered and I chuckled lightly as we made our way to a table that Jake and Izzy were already at. I slid in beside Izzy as Cole sat next to Jake and we all downed our drinks in about a second. "My turn." Jake yelled, standing up and disappearing into the crowd.

The three of us got into chatter as we awaited Jake to return with more drinks. When he did, our jaws all dropped. Jake stood like a waiter with a large grin on his face as he held a tray of drinks in the palm of his hand. "20 shots baby!" He grinned as he placed the tray down on the table and slid back in beside Cole.

Cole stared at him with disbelief. "Dude how much did that cost?"

Jake shrugged with a sheepish smile. "$40."

Izzy's eyes widened. "$40 bucks?!" She exclaimed as I shook my head with a faint smile, making sure that I would buy him enough drinks back to make up for it.

"You're not allowed to buy anymore tonight." I told him, pointing a stern finger as I lifted up one of the glasses.

Jake rolled his eyes and shot me a 'yeah right' look and picked up his own drink. The other two followed and we all pushed our glasses together with wide smiles.

"CHEERS!" We all yelled over the music.

--

"I-I'll have a." I hummed and slurred loudly, glancing over the different alcohols. "Whiskey." I grinned at the female bartender who smiled politely back. I leaned my elbows on the bar, slightly sticking my butt out as my eyes wondered all of the images on the wall.

My eyes widened when I felt somebody's hands on my waist. I was just about to throw my head back and punch who ever had their hands on me before I felt hot breath fan my neck. "Are you a parking ticket, because you've got fine written all over you."

I shivered slightly and found myself smiling widely at the familiar deep voice. I leaned into his hard chest as I gently leaned my head into his abs. "Is that the best you got?" I questioned, fighting the urge to turn and kiss the fuck out of him.

But I liked to enjoy the moment.

Reece chuckled deeply, his chest rising up and down. I hadn't even looked at him as I tried to focus my eyes on the bartender who was making a list of drinks before mine. Reece hummed, wrapping his arms around me so his hands were resting on my stomach. "Are you from Tennessee, because you're the only ten I see." Luckily, the music wasn't too loud by the bar so I could just about make out what he was saying without having to shout it in my ear.

I chuckled against him. "Not good enough."

His hand trailed up and down my body, starting from my shoulder all the way down to my outer thigh. His fingers pinched the material of my dress. I bit back a shiver at the feel of his hot breath on my ear. "You look- wow." He breathed and that's all it took for me to spin around in his arms. I leaned back against the bar as I took in his appearance. He looked more handsome than ever, wearing a black button up shirt that was pulled up to his elbows, black jeans and of course his leather jacket. His green eyes scanned me head to toe slowly, a smirk appearing on his face. "You're keeping this dress." He said, pointing with his slender finger. I shook my head and placed my hands on his chest, nearly stumbling as I did so. His arms wrapped around mine instantly as he hoisted me back up.

He raised an eyebrow. "Woah Sammy, how much have you had to drink?" He asked with an amused smile.

I shrugged. "Lost count after my f-fifth." I slurred as he stared down at me with a warm smile as his eyes shone with amusement. Reece wrapped an arm around my waist tightly as he ordered his own drink. The second his head turned, I grabbed his hair and pulled him towards me. He reacted like he always did and crashed his soft lips onto mine as his hands snaked around my back, pulling me into him.

"Hey your drinks ready!" I heard and I groaned into the kiss, placing a quick peck before I spun around in his arms. His arms were still around my waist firmly, like he would never let me go. I thanked her and grabbed our two drinks, handing one to Reece as he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the dance floor. I glanced around the room as I sipped on my drinks and smiled to myself when I saw the others all dancing with each other.

"There." I pointed and walked over to them, Reece right beside me. "JODIE!" I yelled loudly, grabbing the attention of my black haired friend as she grinned widely at me.

And then the rest of the night was a total blur.
