The last time I went to a party not as a waitress or janitor was Lizzy my college roommate birthday party, I remember the fun of being free, flirty and a messy I had Morgan all over me. I had my book club at the library and all my architecture practical with my friends, it is all like yesterday to me then it's not cause sometimes I feel like am getting punished for something I did, maybe as a child then I stop and feel grateful for the kids and mom.,and being safe after some horrible jobs I did.

JAMIE Everything had to be perfect about these my welcome home party for his cousins My elder brothers kids, and I am thier favorite uncle I promised them seeing Santa before Christmas. Everything was being plan by an holiday event planner. It was a small simple fun party. Christmas had always been my favorite holiday and a great holiday for me. I loved the preparation, the decorations the feeling of all the family together celebrating together. As long as I could remember Christmas as always been worth celebrating and would always be. I had broke up with my ex girlfriend cause she wanted to spend Christmas with me traveling, it led to a big argument cause Christmas was a home holiday for me. My best friend Reese was getting married a day after Christmas And I also needed a date cause my ex girlfriend was attending too. I actually considered hiring someone but if that got out with my identity I would be on the front lines on the papers. And going on a dates was not even an option I wasn't just interested in anyone they were all so fake. MY brothers tried to MATCH me with some work friends didn't turn out well at all. Right now my problem was getting a date before the wedding. Sam After her work at the convenience store she got the kids from Winnie made them lunch and dinner for later cause she still had to go to the security guard work at the Resort/Hotel. She works there only two days in the week cause the main security has to go take some rest. She enjoyed these work cause it allowed her to sit still or walk around to watch men and women in different dresses sometimes there are dramas that she made sure she enjoyed. She checked on mom and she was okay she didn't say much these days and Sam was worried. Winnie had given her a suggestion to enroll her in an elderly club where she could discuss and meet people instead of sitting in the chair at home staring into space. She would do that tomorrow right now she had to bathe and be on her way. Sam I signed in at the security office and when to sit and watch the people as they went in and out, , "oh my' mama Mia!, Roland exclaimed he was my friend and he's gay. I t his gaze there stood a tall, handsome, good looking man, all neat in his tuxedo, his jawline so perfect. He was staring at his watch for a while now like he was for someone. Some minutes a woman who was dressed in a black exquisite gown, I could swear I had seen her in TV. She interlaced her arm in his and crossed it as they walked towards the restaurant, the Sevenhills resort had a hotel, restaurant, a swimming pool area and a bar it is always busy and lively, the hotels are always fully booked in festive season. I love thier restaurants, it's exquisite and beautiful it looked like a place for royalty to dine and I certainly new it cost alot to get a table in there. Maybe I might get the chance someday, I hope. "That guy is hot! Roland said still moving further in attempt to get a glimpse of him. 'he's not bad but guys with a face like are big bad news' I said checking my phone for messages from the kids, they were fine and about to go to bed but her guts was telling her they were watching TV. After hours of watching people, dresses, and cars she was bored and exhausted work at the store had been tiring she needed rest now but she still had to make it to the store tomorrow morning. "I didn't promise anything, it was just s*x' The male husky vioce said firmly. " s*x!! how could you even say that we spent two days together, she yelled clearly annoyed at him "I didn't promise anything Claire, I had a good time, any guy would be lucky to have you" he replied calmly. "don't give me that crap, Jamie my fans think we're dating, what do you want me to do 'she snapped " Tell them you dumped me" he said ' I have to go, later Claire dinner was good"leaving the raving woman he left to the garage. The upset woman went straight to the hotel direction. "Holly Molly, that freaking Claire Reese" Roland said I didn't notice he was also watching the drama "Like the actress? I asked " yes, heard she's in a relationship with some mysterious ceo "guess she's not anymore, if it's that man that left her "I don't think he is, he might be good looking but he's dressed like a regular rich man, worked here long enough to know how Ceo’s dressed." Roland said "Good for her, cause the man seems like some male specie who wouldn't ever have anything serious and serious and them as s*x tools, I said to Roland and I honestly men like him. Who would have expected the fine man from earlier was a scam. Didn't get off work till 4am. Jamie Fuck Claire, actress just wanted to use him, but he like she used others to climb her acting career, he wasn't about to give her the satisfaction of that. The two days he spent with her on a white yatch in the sea was a set up by his brothers it was so bad but he did have fun having her at his Beck and call for a while. He reached home, tired and hungry. He had ate little at the restaurant cause he didn't Want to talk to Claire and he still had the problem of finding a date.......... Stay stunned....
