thank u for the tag <3 @cozymochaa

“Is that Cyndi Lauper?” You wrap your hand around Jesse’s bicep. He stops talking to listen. Girls Just Want to Have Fun fills the room; you and Jesse grin at each other.

“Oh, Olive,” Jesse drags out her name and Olive groans, throwing her head back.

“It’s been four years! It was one time!”

“You can’t get out of this, baby.” You shake your head, dragging her to her feet. David laughs and Jesse nods at him. David heads towards the host station as you and your two friends go to the center of the restaurant. 

“Yes!” Fiona yells, causing everyone else’s heads to turn in your direction. The music was turned louder and David joined the three of you. 

David and Olive had met at a bar. Olive had too many martinis and once this song came on, nobody could stop her. She had told you “it would be a crime against feminism if we didn’t dance to this song.”

In her drunkenness, she had bumped into David and they danced the night away. The rest was history. Now every time the song played, you made sure her and David got a chance to relive the moment.

You threw your arms around Jesse’s neck, dancing alongside him. His hands found your waist. Fiona whistles at the four of you while the others watch. 

At one point, you hold out your arms and your hands are intertwined as you spin. You and Olive bump into each other and you twirl her. You thank God you chose one of your longer black dresses for tonight.

The music fades out and you're breathless. A little sweaty too, but you blame that on the alcohol and not your lack of athleticism. You lean against Jesse’s shoulder and check your phone. 2:03 AM. How did it get so late?
