5 - the club

I turned around to see Connor again, my smile growing wider and wider every second that past, and I couldnt help myself when he smiled back then. I went to him qiuckly, throwing my arms around his neck to hug him tightly, but pulling away qiuckly and going to the bed then. I let my hand smooth across the black qiult cover, turning round to smile at him again, and seeing all of them pressed together in the door way watching me.

Connor was smileing wider now too, abit of shock still lingering in his eyes off my hug maybe, but I smiled at him again and blushed slightly.

"Thank you, so much" I said, looking around the room again now, before meeting eveyones eyes at the door again and blushing even more. Connor looked at them too then, and some moved back away abit, leaving Darren smileing warmly at me on his own then.

"He's been working on this all day- since he went upstairs earlier" he told me, and then looked at connor with a wry smile on his lips now.

I looked aswel, and then composed myself the best I could before he looked back upto me with a tiny embarressed expression. I couldnt help looking around again, and then Calum came next to Darren and held my bags out for me, so I took them off him and smiled again, placeing them on my bed before turning round to see them all, especialy Connor.

"I didnt know if this was your taste, or something like that. You can always change it if you wanted to" he told me, his voice low and gaurded again, which made me bite my lip then.

"Its better then I could of made myself, better then I'v ever had. Thank you, Connor" i told him, and we both nodded slightly then, while I heard murmures start from the others outside the door.

"Alright- everyone start getting ready then" Connor told them all then, and they were moveing instantly, complaining now though.

"Why carnt we go out like this?" Tom asked, and made Connor sigh now.

"Well for one you'v got blood on that hoody, dick head" he told them, and I frowned then, not noticeing it before, but Connor seemed able to easily.

They all moved out, leaving me in my new room, and only Connor turning back to look at me as he reached the door.

"Erm, you alright in here then?" he asked, trying to be thourghtful now. It made me smile more.

"Yeah, thank you" I assured him, and he smiled once again before shutting the door as he went out of it. I smiled even wider then, falling onto my bed qiuckly and giggling into the soft pillows.

This all seemed so better then i could of imageined. I had my own bed in my own room now, friends who bounded together like a family- I was loveing it.

I figured we wernt going to go out untill at least half 7'ish, so I had time to have a nice, red hot, steaming bath. I must of stayed in there for over half an hour, getting out around half 6'ish and qiuckly going back into my bedroom, getting dry and then sitting infront of the mirror I nicked from the bathroom as I started drying and brushing my hair.

I decided to curl it aswel, to use my new stuff, that I still needed to thank Connor for and give him the change. I did my make-up when my hair was done, pulled up at one slide by a load of clips and secured with a few layers of hair spray. Then I had to get changed into my new clothes, but did that in no time. I put all my essentials into my new little bag, pulled my heals on smoothly and secured them, and then checked myself over in the mirror once before I went out the room and started down the landing.

I could hear them all in the front room, already been ready for ages now, as the scripts 'for the first time' blasted out the stereo. I smoothed the top down, fiddleing abit with my side-fringe aswel, and then took a deep breath as I opened the door and walked through it into the front room.

There faces were comical as they gawked at me instantly.

It was all silent for abit, as I just smiled wider in embarressment, and faint smiles touched a few of thier lips aswel.

"Fuckin' hell, Sammy. You look well sexy" Shaurn shouted out then, making me giggle slightly, and a few others laugh at him as they nudged round the head. Connor came in from the kitchen then, and I waited for his comment more eagerly, although I dont know why- (or thats what I told myself anyway)

All of them watched as his eyes widened slightly, his expression obviously appraising, as he fought to control himself now.

"You look nice, Sam" he told me then, both our smiles spreading now, as I bit my lip slightly.

"Thank you" I replied, and then remembered "oh, and this is the change from it all. Thanks for that aswel" I added qiuckly, going to him and passing him the 25 pound change from earlier that I had left.

"No, man. Keep it for tonight. I gave you the money for you, its yours" he told me, giving it me back willingly, and makeing me smile out of shock now.

"We ready to go then guys?" Darren asked us all then, and all of them got up qiuckly.

it was only a short walk to the club, that was crouded so much and even had ques outside the doors and bouncers gaurding them.

Darren saw my expression then, and laughed shortly, shaking his head slightly.

"Dont worry, girl. We dont need to wait in that" he assured me, making me frown at him now, as we neared the entrance and didnt hesitate to keep going.

"Why?"

"Connor knows alot of people" he answered simply, after a light shrug, and then I saw Connor smile back at us once as he went straight to the front of the que.

The big bouncer there turned to frown at us instantly, but then smiled widely when he saw Connor, and then greeted him with a hand gesture like Darren did aswel. He smiled at me aswel, and then at Darren and the rest of them, as he qiuckly let us behind him and into the clubs entrance doors. Moans and complaints errupted outside because of it though, although Connor wasnt effected by it one bit.

We went and sat and a table near the middle, the chairs comfey and the tables stretched, so it fit us all on one.

People were already on the dancefloor aswel, mostly with drinks in there hands and mostly girls, but at least they were having fun. Calum got a round in, and they didnt even I.D him, or question it when he gave me my bacardi breezer or Shaurn his pint.

There was jokes being past around qiuckly, but I just stayed away from that so they didnt trigger to me, and drank my drink silently.

About an hour later, while the drink had got to everybodies heads, and most of the guys were off chatting shit to women who just kept laughing at them, I just sat in my seat, drinking my drink slowly as I stared out at the dancers on the dancefloor. They bored me for abit, but then when snow patrols 'chaseing cars' came on, and all the couples got up and started slow danceing with thier heads on each others shoulders and thier hands on thier backs, my stares turned longing then.

I tried to look away, concious that Connor and Darren were watching me watch them now, but I coudnt help my eyes flickering back to them every few seconds.

Just a minute later though, I saw Connor move out of his seat, and then come to stand right infront of me. With a wary smile on his face, he slowly held his hand out for me, making me just look at it warily.

"What?" I asked, my heart beginning to beat faster now.

"Oh, cum'on Sam. We can all see that your dieing to dance to this song, so lets go" he told me, both our smiles wideneing then, as i bit my lip abit and then slowly put my hand in his, standing up and letting him lead us to the dancefloor then.

When we were there, loads of eyes were on us instantly, and he turned then to pull the hand that was in his upto his neck, hanging it around there while both of his rested on my waist. I pulled my other hand up to hold round his neck aswel, and then let him begin swaying us slightly as our bodies closed together.

"So what is it? The song? Just more people dancing? What?" he asked then, stareing down at me with a glisten twisted in his eyes.

"None- I guess I just felt lonelier, seeing all these couples up here, together and happy about it. I havent had that" I told him truthfully, making him think more then. He didnt say anything else, and I wondered if I'd dropped myself in it or something like that, which just made me more nervous then aswel.

Nearer to the end of the song though, he sighed lightly, and pulled me closer slightly to rest his head ontop of mine softly. It shocked me more then anything, but after a few seconds of deep breaths, I just went with it and rested my head against his chest, closeing my eyes contently then- as i wondered if there realy was a chance for us after all, despite the physco rumours and murderer's screams.

And when the song finished fully, he left it a few more seconds, before pulling away and takeing a deep breath while he gazed back into my eyes longingly.

The start of the next song broke us out of it, and made us both look down slightly, him shaking his head slowly and he closed his eyes again and pressed his lips together hardly. I just looked at him with concerned eyes, making the softness realy show when he looked back upto me and saw it.

"Im sorry" he apologized, his voice low and qiuet now, and I could bearly hear him over the music then.

I took his hand carefully, pulling him away from the dancefloor and nearer to the table, stopping before we got to it though so I could turn back and smile at him warmly, stroking his hand that I still held in mine.

"Thank you" I loud whispered, seeing his face smooth out instantly and the glisten in his eyes return, as he just stared down at me and parted his mouth slightly to speak, but nothing came out of it.
