Meet Me in the Bathroom

Nicknames

I open my eyes and check my phone, it's 4:30. I only slept for 2 hours. I look around to see that everyones fast asleep.

Julian lets out a groan as he sleeps and I can't help but to press a subtle kiss on his forehead. I freeze as I pull away and see that his eyes are half open.

"Shit," I whisper as my cheeks flush red. "Jules, I d-"

"Ssh." Julian cups my face in his hands and pulls my face close to his.

"Jules..." my heart starts to pound as I look into his droopy eyes.

He puts a finger to my lips, before crashing his lips onto mine. The kiss lasts for about 5 seconds before Julian goes limp and passes out again. I froze the whole time, my eyes wide as I questioned what the fuck was happening. I look back down at Julian and scoff; he's drunk...that meant nothing.

I trace a finger over my lips where Julian's had just been. Fuck...I need to get some air. I slowly slide out from underneath Julian and gently ease his head down onto the car seat, before I climb over the seat and slowly open the door, carefully avoiding Fab and Albert's sleeping bodies. I accidentally bump Fab on my way out and he stirs a little, but remains asleep.

The sun is starting to rise while I walk around outside. The guys had parked the van down the street from the house the party was held in. I stuff my hands in my pockets and continue to walk down the street as I contemplate the past 24 hours of my now crazy life.

As I'm walking, I hear a bush rustle behind me and turn around to scan the area...nothing. I shrug and continue walking, but this time a twig snaps and I quickly turn around and catch the culprit. "Albert?!"

"Hey, Jade!" he jumps out from a hedge and scratches his neck, all whilst flashing a crooked grin.

"Were you stalking me, you freak?!" I chuckle as I wait for him to catch up with me.

"I saw you get out of the car...what's up?" he continues to walk beside me as I sigh. "You looked really pissed off."

"Nothing," I force a smile. "I'm all good!"

"Sure... I won't pester you."

"Thank you, Junior."

"Junior?!" he questions with a frown on his face.

"Albert Hammond...Junior!" I giggle. "Junior's a good nickname for you."

"Makes me sound like a child. Please don't call me that."

"Too bad, Junior!"

"Two can play at this game, uhh... J-Jade... J... Jay?!"

"Jay? Really?! Is that all you could come up with?"

"Um,"

"Hmm...I like it." I curtsey and bow my head with a smirk. "Jay, at your service."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Jay." Albert bows back and starts to laugh. "That's it! Lady Jay!"

"Lady Jay... I guess that's okay, although I'm not too fond of it!" I mock a British accent. "Sounds like a name a stripper would give herself."

"Strippers can be cool." Albert looks up at the now blue sky with a grin. "We should head back now before anyone wonders where we are..."

"If they're even awake." I finish Albert's sentence. "Yep, let's go. Nice chat, Junior!"
