Interrupted Love

Chapter 19

Lily

I arrived at the bar before my bestie and found a table close to the back so we could talk freely, given our topic of conversation, and the less attention attracted the better.
This place was where my friends and I used to come regularly, before I started accompanying Jeff on Harry's tour.

Most nights there was a live band which bought the crowds - as it was going to tonight. Luckily I had organised to meet my bestie, Jo, early so we would still be able to talk.

As I made myself comfortable, a guy with dark hair, wearing a tight black T-shirt and blue jeans, approached me.

"Hi, what can I get you?" He asked, flashing me a smile.

Ordinarily I would be polite, have a little chit chat, maybe flirt a little but I definitely wasn't in the mood tonight.

"Hi Aidan" I said reading his name tag on his shirt. "I'll have a beer, a bottle of red wine, any will do, two wine glasses and two vodka shots, please"

"Okay, wow! In for a long night are we?" he said raising his eyebrows, as he wrote my order down.

"Don't be judging me. It's been an awful few days, and for your information, my friend is coming to comfort me." I replied.

"Sorry, don't mean to offend." He chuckled, holding his hands up in surrender. "I will be back with your order shortly."

Giving me a cheeky grin and wink as he walked away. I couldn't help but smile back and feel a twinge of guilt for snapping.

Mmm I think I should introduce him to my bestie, definitely would take my mind off my drama!

A day had past since Niall had stormed out of my place, and I don't blame him. I wouldn't be surprised if he never wants to see me again.

After he left, I had cried until my eyes were red and raw, then moved on to mooching about, eating ice cream whilst watching cooking shows and I had racked my brain trying to think how I was to fix things with Niall, my job and of course, there was Harry.

He knew how to push my buttons, make me feel things, sensual things...Just thinking now about being with Harry sends heat through my body..

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and pushed these thoughts aside. So after I had pulled myself together, I called my bestie in the hope she could help me find a way.

Now, Jo, my bestie, arrived about five minutes later and I waved her over. She pushed her way through the, now, crowded bar.

We hugged as she reached the table. Already I was starting to feel better now that she was here.

As we sat down, Aidan was making his way back over with my drink order. I glanced at Jo, giving her a mischievous smile.

"Okay, why are you looking at me like that?" Looking confused, then she followed my gaze to see me looking at Aidan. " What are you up to?" she continued narrowing her eyes at me.

I chuckled, shrugging innocently.

"Here you go love." Aidan said, placing the drinks on the table. He glanced over at Jo, who stood up to take off her leather jacket, revealing a red scoop neckline top with short sleeves she wore with some skinny black jeans.

I watched as his eyes roamed over her body, with a look of approval. Then turning his attention to me, he said,

"Oh, I knew all these drinks weren't just for you." He joked, giving me a wink. I couldn't help but smile. He was cute.

"So ,who's your friend here? Are you going to introduce me?"

"What?! You don't even know my name haha. Okay, this is my bestie, Jo." She gave him a little wave with her fingers. "And I'm Lily, by the way." I replied.
