Meant to be but will never be

Nine

James invited me to a restaurant since I have been sulking in the house because I couldn't work for the past three days, and I finally agreed, he told me he will meet me there giving me the location of the pop up restaurant and the time to meet him there, he told me it was a very porch restaurant to dress nice, so I put on my most expensive Armani suit I bought for the hospital charity last year, and haven’t worn it since, I got in my car and put the location on the GPS , and within an hour I was there and it was true the restaurant looked porch and elegant I got in the door and gave the hostess my name, and she pointed me to the bar to wait while she got our table ready, there was a very sexy woman sitting in the bar stool legs crossed, but she seemed familiar as I got closer, she sipped her Martini rolling the tooth pic with olives inside the glass, and she was flirting with the bartender who suddenly turned red, and when I saw her face anger filled my every vein, I couldn’t take it, I couldn’t take the fact that she was flirting with someone else whiles married to me, yes I was crazy, but I didn’t have time to think as I growled the words out, his hand touching her shoulder, you could see that he was smitten with her the jerk

“Get your hands off my wife” I growled coming closer to her, and when she turned I saw the horror in her face, then anger as she stood up

“ I’m not your wife, and you have no right to interfere in my business” she said, glaring at me, and she looked sexy as she stood straight letting me see all of her and her perky boobs, and the dress was so light I could literally imagine how her boobs look like, and the bartender also saw it, asshole

“That ring on your finger seems to disagree” I said, pointing to it, and her eyes seemed to follow my finger to the ring, and she glared at the thing before answering

“ This means nothing to me nor you, so stop acting like it, we are not married” she repeated, but she was telling this time

“ ooh, yes we are dear wife, and I have the marriage certificate to prove it.” her eyes went wide at my statement and I smirked looking at the bartender who seemed to be hurt by my statement, and Tammy had no answer as she sat back down defeated

“You also received it.” she asked in a small voice full of sadness, And I couldn’t help but feel guilty about my behavior but when I’m around the woman I just lose my temper for some odd reason

“yes, I received it a couple of days ago, and it led me to you.” I replied politely this time taking a seat next to her

“ Why is this happening?” she asked nobody in particular sipping the last of her drink, I couldn’t take her looking so sad, it also made me sad, I hated it

“ I’m sorry for the other day” I said, looking at her gorgeous face, but she couldn’t even look at me as she played with her fingers

“What for? Calling me a witch or an ugly duckling?” her voice was low and soft but there was hurt, and anger in them!

“Both I guess” I told her making her eyes turn in anger

“ You, guess?” she whispered yelled making me flinch

“ no, I mean, I'm sorry for everything okay, I don’t mean a word I said that day, I was just angry and confused” I told her hoping we will bury the hatchet and move on to finding who actually did this, I thought looking at the platinum ring

“ I forgive you, only because I also want to find answers, but don’t even think of acting like my husband again” she said, glaring at me, but I knew that was one promise I will never fulfil, I couldn’t let another man touch her, fake marriage or not she was mine, and I was going to make sure of it, even though I was not planning on keeping her, after this mystery was done, and we found answers, I was planning on going back to my old life

“ why are here?” she said, looking around

“ Why are you here?” I countered looking for her friend because if she came here for a date, I was seriously going to murder the son of a b***h!
