THE THING BETWEEN ME AND YOU

CHAPTER TWO

The sound of cabs beeping their horns and the cab drivers shouting out the window to pedestrians getting in their way. Turning down a street, I wave to some business owners as I pass by. After setting up my wedding planning business, I have gotten bro know the neighboring shops and owners.

"Morning guys," I say waving Jane and Adam with a smile on my face.

"How was your night?" Jane asks me.

"No, let me guess you were watching TV" she say as I smile sheepishly. And how was your night, Miss jane? I tease.

"It was good, Ashley surprised me with chocolate and cookies when I got back in" jane says, referring to her girlfriend of two years.

"And how was your night lover boy? Staring at Adams as I tease him about his crush on my bestfriend Clara. As he's about to reply, the door opening get out attention as a couple walks through both looking elegant.

My eyes fell down to their entwined hands, from the hand holding to the way they look at each other with love and admiration. It's clear my new client's are the genuine type of couple.

Hey, you must be Alexa." I'm Hazel and my fiance Leonard" Hazel blushes as she introduce them both.

"It's nice to meet you both. These are my colleagues, Jane my assistant and Adam my photographer." I stand up shaking their hands. " You'll be seeing alot of them as well," I say. Take your seat I offer, and they sit down

" So what are you guys suggesting or thinking about for your wedding so far?" Jane asks. Well, we want it on New York. We love it here and it's also convenient for our families and friends but we want to get married in four months.

"Four months!"

Planning a wedding takes time, there are so many details to prepare in such a small time. We have four months to plan a wedding and execute, which definitely has to be perfect along with the other weddings we are planning too.

"What's wrong?" Leonard asks looking at our bewildered faces.

Nothing, I smiled. We'll do it..it's definitely manageable. We've done weddings like this before.

So let's talk, "do you guys have any specific budget?"

"No budget," Leonard clarifies confidently as I turned to stare at my colleagues who were already looking at me. Rich people.

Alright noted, we can handle it we just need to see again so we can start sorting out the guests list and send out invitations.

"Is Saturday okay for you?" They nod as I get jane to mark it down. "Great!" It was nice to meet you guys once again. They waved goodbye as they walk out as I sigh before sitting back on my chair.

"Most hardworking girl in the world" someone says as I turn around seeing clara walk through the door. I see Adams adjusts and can't help but smirk. It's no secret he has a crush bon my bestfriend ever since they knew each other.

They'd make a cute couple, something bi always tease her about. Her reason for refusing to give him a chance is the fact that she can't date a younger guy. She's twenty four meanwhile Adam is twenty one but that doesn't stop her feelings for him.

"I was coming to see if you all wanted to go out tonight?" Carla asks

I have a wedding to plan in four months no time to spare.

" Oh come on, it will be fun jane adds and Ashley will come over with I sigh.

" Prettiest please" clara pouts looking into my eyes. "Bring a strawberry Ice-cream then we have a deal" I say as they all cheer.

What I'm I doing?....

"why do guys find lesbians so hot?" Jane screams over the loud noise in the club as she stands next to me at the table.

"Because they're d**k heads babe" Ashley says appearing from the crowd. "Something we don't have to worry about" she says kissing Jane.

"How do you like men? "Ashely asks me as if it's the most disgusting thing on earth. You can't understand I laughed, I love d***s you love women theres a big difference.

"You too should not be allowed in the same room together" jane chuckles. So what did it take for Clara to drag you out?

"Strawberry Ice-cream" I say. Speaking of Clara, where is she? I asked them as they point to the dance floor where Clara and Adams are kissing passionately mad making out.

This is nothing new, it's a regular occurrence when we go out. They always end up kissing during the night and by the next morning, it seems like nothing ever happened.

Adams knows Clara's feelings for him, but he knows what she is like. Adams is never just for a kiss, whereas all the other guys she kisses or sleeps with is just that. No feelings or commitment.

"I think they've forgotten they have people around them,"jane smiles sipping her drink.

" When are they going to accept they have like each other and get together?"

Jane rolls her eyes.

"I'm going to need to get a drink, if we have to watch these two make out ball night" I joke

I make my way through the crowd of people, squeezing through the mass of people as I head to the bar. Finally reaching the bar after being seduced multiple times by both guy and girls. Ignore them all, leaning forward to see where the bartender is.

Soon enough he walks over to me taking my order while looking at my boobs which were nicely modified in my dress and licking his lips seductively which makes me roll my eyes.

He walks to get the drink, as I looked around the club. A horny motherfucker passed behind me, spanking my ass.

"You son of a b***h!" I cursed. Watching TV in my apartment and drinking wine is pretty much better than getting your ass spanked by a total stranger.

I got a sit, as I sat down waiting for my drink. I searched for may friends as I watch them enjoy themselves as I smile.

My smile drops as my gaze lands on a familiar face.

It can't be....it can't be him.

Sitting down next to me in front of the bar, the memory replay's before me.

Carla had ditched me at the bar to go dance with some random guy. No surprise there. I didn't mind because that's how she always does when we go out. I really wanted to leave the club but I couldn't leave Carla to go home all alone because she will be definitely drunk and girl code which I don't why couldn't break.

I sigh. As people kept bumping into me.

"Seems like someone's having a rough day" someone said, as I turned my head seeing a set of deep blue eyes watching me that looked like they stared into my soul and a perfectly tampered nose with a kind mouth. He was close to the bar and my heart level. His vintage shirt hugged his broad shoulders perfectly and showed off his well built physique. He had the look of an immortal god who came down to earth just to show these measly humans what perfection looked like.

"Kind of," I chuckled and he raised his brows in curiosity. "My best friend ditched me"

"You need a new bestfriend?"

"Really? No," I said sarcastically and he laughed, showing off his perfect dentition. It was those type of laugh that travels within your ears to toes.

"I'm Nathan," he introduced as he held out his hands for me to shake him. "I'm Alexa I introduced as I placed my hand in his which Instead of shaking, he brought it up to his lips and missed it. "A handsome gentleman," don't see most of those. Most handsome guys are usually arrogant like that have made it in life.

"Are you here alone?" I ask him, since I didn't see him with anyone.

"Are you hitting on me?" He flirt and I chuckled as I shook my head as I pushed some stands of hair behind my ears as a blush overtook my face.

"Yes I am", I flirted back before I picked up my drink, taking a sip.

"Well, to answer you question..no I'm not. I came her with my friends who are busy making our on the dance floor.

"it seems like we have similar friends" I said and pointed to clara as she made out with another guy.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you company. A gorgeous girl like you should never be alone," Nathan say as he winked at me.

" How nice of you," I chuckled before he sat next to me.

" How do you feel about a dance?"I asked Nathan and places my hands over his which rested on his legs.

"Babygirl I don't think you're ready for my dancing skills, " Nathan whispered into my ear.

" Who says you're ready for me either?" I stood up with his hands placed on mine.

I rose up and wrapped my arms around his neck as he moved over to me and his hands placed on my hips as we danced to the music.

Our eyes never left each other as I felt something between us, a connection I haven't felt with another guy before. Our chests brushed up against one another. His hands brushed against my arms and the top of my thighs, where my dress edged as my hips sway. I couldn't stop but blush before I turned around. My back was against his chest as his hands glided over me as I turned before they landed on my hips once again as we danced together.

The memory hits me like Rock of the first time I met my Ex-boyfriend Nathan Wrights. I searched my eyes around the club to find the face I had seen, there was no mistake it was him.

"Babe what's wrong?" Carla asks. "You're spaced out, the bartender put the drinks in front of you minutes ago" Carla tells me, worry slipping through her face.

"Oh yeah," I tell her smiling..I'm good, just thinking about wedding plans and all. I lie

It had to be him.

Is this fate or what?

To this day, I still don't know why we where in the same club that night we met and in the same bar las night.

I never regretted me and Nathan meeting but I regret how we ended up, I regret letting myself slip so much. Seeing him on that club revives memories, the good and the bad ones.
