beautiful & damned

Chrissie let out a groan as she sat at the table, pushing her sunglasses further up on her face to block her eyes from the sun. Not even the large mocha with extra whipped cream could cheer her up, and she was counting on that whipped cream to at least alleviate some of her headache. “Remind me to never touch alcohol again.” She said after taking a sip, frowning at Natalie. “My head has never hurt more.”

“I make no promises” Natalie laughed, before pulling a pill out of her bag. “Relax, it’s a muggle thing” she said before handing the headache tablet over towards her friend. “It helps with the hangover I promise” she concluded. “Now tell me,” she continued before stealing a sip of her friends mocha. “What the hell happened to you last night?” 

“Natalie?” Alicia called out as she walked into her best friend’s flat, knowing where she had hid the spare key. “I know you’re here and that you’re awake so you better not pretend you’re asleep.”

Natalie instantly huffed as Alicia made her way into her flat. “Shhh..” the girl whispered, not moving from her bed. “I am totally not pretending, I have a crippling hangover and I am incapable of moving okay?”

Dylan was thankful the dog only weighed like five pounds, otherwise he would have been knocked over. He scooped her up. “Hi,” Dylan cooed, scratching her behind the ear, before turning his gaze to Natalie. “Um, you? Nat, what the hell.”

He shut the door behind him and put Olive on the ground. “Where the hell were you? I’ll kill you for taking my daughter from me after you give me answers.”

Natalie watched as the dog instantly melted in his arms, feeling stupidly guilty for harbouring their dog hostage. “Hmph” Natalie pouted as he followed her into her flat. “I’m sorry” she admitted turning to him once she’d made her way to the kitchen. Not moments passing before handing him a beer. 

He knocked on her door, giving her a look when she opened it. “Hi, nice to see you too. Thanks for telling me you were back.” Dylan crossed his arms. "Rip my heart out again, why don’t you.”

“Olive!!” Natalie yelled when their dog began barking at the door, clearly a response to his knocking. “Shite” she murmured realizing exactly who it was when the door swung open. “Did you come for me or the dog? We’re both not leaving this flat, like ever.”

“Not forever. Just until it gets boring,” Liam teased with a smirk as he took her hand in his. “Well, lucky you I am off work for the whole weekend. So I’m all yours and we can do whatever you want.”

“Ah, there’s my drama queen. You over exaggerate, love. But how about a coffee for making you wait all of fifteen minutes?”

“Well, please inform your daughter that when daddy says we have to go, that means we have to go.”

He gave her Olive’s leash and kissed her cheek. “Hi.” 

“If it’s her fault all is forgiven she’s perfect.” She hummed into his cheek. “Hey”
