657 Words
The bar was a familiar territory for them
They had been friends for years and they were all offsprings from prominent families
The Stuarts family-Andrew Stuarts
The Anderson's family-Micheal Anderson
The McKenzie's family -Alexander McKenzie
The Harrison's family -Nathan Harrison
They were all children of prominent families, Michael was calm, and bossy just like Andrew, Nathan was jovial,a playboy and the nosiest of them all, Alexander was jovial too just like Nathan but he was not a play boy.
This were the only people that could tease him and go scot free
Dim lights.Low music.Beautiful women
His friends were already there when he arrived, relaxed as usual
He sat down and loosened his tie
"Wow wow, look who we have here"Nathan said smirking
"Marriage has really softened you"Alexander added
Andrew shot them a glare
And they raised their hands in mock surrender
Oh oh sorry CEO, please don't fire us they mocked
Then burst into laughter
He smiled,this were the only people that could make him relaxed
"So really" Nathan drawled "Is it true that you are being dragged to the altar??"
Andrew shot him another glare
Michael smiled clearly enjoying himself
"So is she cute?", Nathan asked clearly interested
"Hey she is Andrew's woman know your limits"Micheal finally said
"Okay okay, I've heard",he said
"She's cute", Andrew said shocking all of them,"you can confirm at the banquet", he continued
"Wow,I could never miss it", Nathan said
Michael eyed him "foolish play boy", he said to Nathan
"Mmm", Alexander said "Marrying the ruthless CEO hope she knows what she is signing for"
Andrew shot him another glare
"One more word and this will be our last drink for the year"
Alexander raised his hand"Okay Okay",he said
"Well", Nathan said "I guess we'll wait"
"Yes you I'll" he replied"she's not someone you can underestimate"
While the others focused on drinking and mingling, he's thoughts drifted off to her again
She didn't shake
She accepted everything with confidence
She didn't rush for it like others would
She just accepted it just like a responsibility
Then her face infiltrated his mind again
Her smile
Her voice
Her expression when she was thinking
Her embarrassed expression when he caught her staring
She was just awesome and cute
Like a little bunny
Then someone cleared his throat it was Nathan
"What"Andrew asked
"We've been calling you for sometime now but you haven't been answering ,you look lost in thought" then he stopped "and you are smiling"
That was when he realized he was smiling
Gosh....
"So what is the problem"he asked with an irritated voice
"There is someone we haven't mentioned here"Nathan replied
Jessica
She grew up with them too
She was the only girl among them
She was an A list actress and she was currently abroad shooting a movie,she was Nathan's cousin
"So ??"Andrew asked
"Every one knows Jessica has feelings for you, how would she feel when she comes back and hears that you are getting married"Nathan said
"She'll move on she clearly has no choice", Michael replied
"But what if she wants to become a mistress"?, Alexander probed
"Yeah", Nathan said "You know how possessive Jessica is she won't accept defeat easily"
"But"Andrew said and stopped intentionally"One only possesses what is hers and the last time I checked, I don't belong to her"
"That is the problem she clearly won't accept this without a fight"Alexander said
Then Andrew stood up"Nobody is fighting her, I'm saying this early when she comes back tell her if she dares try anything I won't consider"he said as slowly and gentle as possible
And he's friends knew he was more dangerous when talking like that
Then he walked out this time there were no quiet teases even the nosiest Nathan was quiet, cause he was most dangerous when calm
And to him for the first time standing close to someone didn't feel like a liability instead it felt like they both belonged there
