"you look beautiful," george comments when his sister walks over to him, she was the last to arrive, not long after the other too though. alex nods in agreement to his best friends words, admiring the girl stood before him.

"you both look dashing," she added a wink, so they both knew she was playing, "i'm kidding but you do both look nice."

"i'm hungry," alex states, trying to look through the restaurant, "can we go in?"

"and you say i'm bad at changing the conversation."

"shut up chloe," george looks at her and they both roll their eyes, "yes, let's go in."

making their way in, the staff didn't ask for names or anything, george having been in before. so instead they took them straight over to the table they would be sat at. as the three of them each took a seat, the staff walked away to go get them a menu. alex, george being too busy watching another table, noticed chloe's facial expression.

"what's got you this excited?" he asks, a laugh slipping from his lips.

"i heard they have nice restrooms here!" chloe replies, her face lighting up, "later can you take a photo of me?"

"of course i can." that's all it took, those words, for him to see the smile on her face re-appear.

now it was chloe's turn to notice something, "she's pretty, george."

her brothers head snapped at her, clearing his throat, "who?"

"the girl you've been staring at since we sat down."

"i haven't been staring," he claims, looking back over to where she was, he could feel the two sets of eyes watching him intently from behind, "but yeah i guess she is pretty or something."

chloe rolls her eyes, "or something? what is that even supposed to mean."

george just shrugged, trying to drop the embarrassing conversation. alex's eyes start to watch the girl instead now, replacing george who was now looking anywhere else. a nudge on chloe's leg made her look up, her friends head nodding towards the mystery girl. she knew straight away why alex made her look. so, naturally, she excused herself from the table, following the girl into the restrooms.

when they got there, she felt uncomfortable at the circumstances but still before the girl went in the stall chloe called out, "excuse me," and in such a silent area like this, there was no one else she could've been calling, luckily the girl turned.

"me?" she asked quietly, a spanish accent lacing her words.

"yes, i'm really sorry this is very random but have you got a partner?"

"no, i have not." this girl replies still unsure about what was going on.

"my brother thinks you're pretty," chloe let's out, she didn't know what else to say, the girl smiled, "could he get your number? it's okay if not, of course. if so put it on my phone and i'll send it to him."

"yes that's okay," the girl smiles as chloe hands her her own phone, typing in her number and saving it as 'carmen 💖', "you're very pretty."

chloe's heart melts, "so are you and so is your name."

"thank you so much!" she says, sounding grateful, "what is your name?"

"my name is chloe."

"nice to meet you, chloe."

the moment she returned, the boys bombarded her with questions, without saying any words though, chloe looks over to carmens table, both girls waving at eachother.

the boys both look in the direction her head turned, george instantly blushing as the girl he had been staring at previously was now smiling at him, before looking over at chloe, winking lightly and chloe responded with a small smirk. after that both girls went back to usual, acting as if nothing had happened.

"you-" george managed to stutter out, "you got her number? for me?"

"no i got it for myself, she a pretty lady." chloe replied with a monotone voice.

both boys sat there, trying to understand if she was being serious or not.

"obviously it's for you, fucking moron," the girl rolled her eyes, "why else would i send you her number?"

"what's her name?" her brother asked eagerly, leaning closer in to the centre of the table.

"calm down, mate." alex interrupts, laughing at george's pure excitement over the girl.

"her name is carmen," chloe begins, both boys wait for her to continue but she instead brings her glass to her lips, "what?"

"well is that all?" the boys ask in sync.

"i found out more then either of you two did."

"she has a point to be fair," alex states, sitting back in his seat, arms crossed, his muscles making a dent through his white shirt, smirking at chloe as she watched him closely.

out of nowhere a waiter is by the side of there table, leaning down with her notepad asking what they would all like. they all went round, multiple of arguments later as chloe couldn't decide what she wanted and neither boys would help her decide, and soon enough they had finished ordering, with a tense table left. that soon faded away when they begun the next conversation.

after about an hour, they had eaten their food and was now sat around, ordering rounds after rounds of drink, not all alcoholic, trying to keep the night memorable but here and there they treated themselves. the conversation was flowing, something on the topic of the boys first f1 season, before someone tapped george's shoulder. he immediately stopped telling his experience, turning around, almost choking when he saw carmen stood infront of him.

"hey," he nods, attempting to recompose himself after the soft mush he turned into just seeing her, she mutters a small 'hi' back, just as blushed as him, "how are you?"

"i'm good thank you, and yourself?" carmen grins, her smile like sunshine, radiating off the most beautiful energy which mesmerised chloe, just as much as it did george.

"amazing, thank you." they both sit looking at eachother for a moment before george gives a little look to alex sat beside him. alex nods, grabbing chloe's hand and aruptly pulling her up.

"right we're going to take photos!" alex announces, chloe's face showing clear confusion before finally catching on, sending an exaggerated wink to her brother but ensuring the girl also saw it.

"can we actually take photos?" chloe asks, looking up at the black haired man beside her.

"of course," he replies, noticing there hands were still joint he muttered a quick 'sorry' before shyly bringing his hand away. the thing that seemed weird to chloe about what he just did, was that it was definitely not the first time they held times, in fact they had done it so many times, she couldn't even remember half.

the air was awkward for a moment before they reached the bathrooms and chloe hands him her phone, "you know the password," of course he did, he'd known her almost 15 years, how couldn't he, so with almost natural instinct he put in the code, unlocking it.

"one video so you can pick the photos out, or loads of photos?" alex asks, knowing the girl could never decide how she liked her photos.

"loads of photos, i have storage today," she smiles at him and he just rolls his eyes knowing how bad her storage is, "thank you."

"video on my phone, photos on yours," he states, giving the brunette no option, she smiles gratefully, "ready?"

"whenever you are."

they stood for a minute, not sure what to do with themselves, completely unsure whether george was finished or not yet.

"well, now we're alone," chloe starts, he looking up to look her in the face, attempting to work out what she was thinking, "i have to say you do clean up nicely alex."

"as do you, like seriously, you look amazing,"  alex assures, they smile softly at eachother, her eyes scanned over his face, lingering over his lips a few seconds long.

alex picked up on this, reaching his hand up to her face to comb the hair out of his way, he leaned down to kiss her, but before they reach eachother there is a knock at the door. chloe rolls her eyes stepping back, alex cursing softly under his breath at how unlucky he was.

he walks over to open the door, "george?" chloe exclaims, even more annoyed, "why did you knock?"

"i wasn't sure if it was a single bathroom or a whole area?" the brother shrugs, unaware of what had previously been about to happen.

"how did it go with carmen?" alex winks, chloe rushing over to join the conversation, desperate to know how it went.

"i'll meet you back at the table and tell you, i'm desperate for a piss."

as they went their separate ways, alex and chloe heading over to the table and george using the bathroom, alex remembers something, a weird feeling casting over him at the realisation.

"so, are you and him still together?" the question shocked chloe, no one having brought him up in such a long time.

"you can say his name you know." the girl replies, trying to dodge the question.

"i know, but that wasn't my question," alex picked up on her attempt, a shitty feeling now settling itself right into his mind.

"well i don't really know," chloe starts, not sure how to explain the situation, "we haven't said the words 'we're over' but we also haven't spoken in a couple days."

"oh okay," alex's heart shattered, he wondered what made him even believe they were going to kiss. before he had any more time to think of it george blessed the table with his presence, immediately beginning to explain how it went.
