Twenty-Five

“I’m telling you! When he hits from the back and pulls out too quickly, it’s like a horse sneezing down there!” Sam blurted across the loud and bustling bar, her hands clapping together as she imitated a horse’s mouth that sounded like a balloon deflating.

Ava couldn’t breathe past the laughter, buckling over in her seat as tears lined her lashes. She had forgotten that only hours ago she was sat half-drunk on her couch with different types of tears in her eyes.

“Stop!” Ava pleaded through her chortles as a couple of gents looked at the pair oddly but still, her friend continued blowing raspberries. “Samantha Eastley, I’m going to wet myself, will you bloody stop?!”

“You know…that’s a real problem when you reach thirty! Here, did I ever tell you about the time I went to a trampoline fitness class?”

“Bloody stop!” Ava howled as droplets of joy trickled down her cheeks, smearing her mascara under her eyes.

The night transpired into more wild tales from Sam, more hilarity, and more drunken banter. It really was just what the doctor ordered as Ava’s mind was diverted away from the train wreck of her love life.

It was fast approaching midnight by the time the pair, arm in arm, strolled down the deserted cobbled street towards Ava’s apartment. For claiming to have such a strong liver, her friend certainly couldn’t walk in a straight line, although, that could be because Sam was barefoot in the middle of a cold Autumn. She claimed that the Scottish were immune to the cold.

“On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Loooomond!” Sam howled as she sang for the entirety of London to hear, swinging a wine bottle back and forth before swigging down the substance she definitely did not need more of. The hilarious part was that the one Scottish person in a one-mile radius of them had heard Sam and chimed in.

“How they let you in past the borders, I will never know!” Ava laughed with a slight slur, shaking her head as she held her inebriated friend up. “You know, you really aren’t doing your lot any favours. You’re practically upholding the Scottish stereotype here!”

“Ack…could be worse… Could be English!”

“Oi!” Ava slapped at her friend’s arm as they both burst out into playful laughter. However, the giggling banter was cut short as they both approached the front of her apartment building, where she paused and blinked in confusion.

Stood outside the redbrick building, with white windowpanes and doors, was a man who was leaning against the black metal railing holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

“What are you doing here?” Ava asked with a deep frown cutting into her features.

“To wish you a happy birthday and to apologise,” the auburn-headed gent replied.

“So, I may have done a thing…” Sam cut in, explaining she had texted Peter, and Ava would not be surprised if her friend yelled in drunken caps lock at the poor man either. “I’ll be off then, tah-tah!”

“Wait, what?” Ava blinked, snapping her eyes between Sam and Peter.
