Heated Vibrations

3

Walking to the bar, I grab the drinks and place them down on the table.

"Dance!" Georgina's word a clear order and not a question, usually I don't do orders, but decide I may as well dance with her, maybe once she is on the dance floor, I can escape and she will stay there.

She has been trying all night to get my attention, and all I have done is find myself staring at Alena trying to work out who she is.

We reach the dance floor and instantly I regret my decision, as Georgina's body grinds on mine, her hands trying to feel up my shirt, the two hours passing by, as the sweat drips from me.

I am not exactly dancing, but the club is hot, and having Georgina clinging to me constantly does not help.

Her hands slip down from my body, and I use the moment to escape quickly, as I get off the dance floor I see her dancing with another guy, yeah, she is certainly not my type.

I look around, Alena sat at the table in the corner alone, she looks bored, maybe not bored but like she doesn't want to be here. I walk around stopping behind her table. I stand there for a moment unknown to her.

This is the woman Liam likes; I have to say I am surprised, my mind thinks about Caroline, is he attracted to her? He had never mentioned it, yet she is so like Alena.

"Wow, she's feisty, isn't she?" My word comes out joking, and I see her small body jump from the freight as I walk around and sit down.

"yep – that's Georgina for you! She must have been checking out your dancing skills" She laughs, and it sounds perfect, I could melt into it.

"Dancing, really? Alena, if you think that was dancing, you're sadly mistaken. That was me being pulled around and groped, not dancing" I laugh, but it's the truth, I swear I can still feel her hand squeezing my arse.

"You didn't look like you were doing too bad, to be honest, I mean I have seen worse dancers than you before."

She smiles at me, and I feel like I need to know more about her. Maybe it is the red hair, she reminds me so much of Caroline, yet she is so different.

"I was kind of hoping that I'd fall over, or you know, pass out. I might have escaped quicker then. She's not easy to get away from is she?" She laughs, shaking her head at me.

"When she sees something she likes, she doesn't tend to let it slip through her fingers easily. You should be grateful; she clearly likes you."

She says it like it doesn't bother her, yet something tells me she is annoyed, the fact Georgina likes me upsets her.

"Well, she's not my type, not at all" I see a spark of interest in her eye then it dies down quickly.

"So, Liam was telling me that you're studying business and accounting?" It is certainly not something I imagined from her, when he told me I imagined someone like Georgina, not this woman.

"Yes, that's right. I want to start my own business one day. If I qualify as an accountant, I can do my own books and cut costs."

Smiling at her, I nod, she is smart, being an accountant for her own business at the start can certainly cut costs.

"That is good, I run my own businesses, a hell of a lot of work and effort, but you know it is worth it in the end, something you can pass on to your younger generations" She looks at me slightly confused.

"Ah right, I thought you were in the navy or was Liam just trying to big up his brother, so he looked good?" She laughs, and I have to laugh with her, that is Liam all over.

"No, I am in the navy, I am home now more than likely to stay, I don't think I will have any missions to do anymore, and if there is I may just withdraw."

I may; she makes me want to get to know her more and stick around to be able to do that. I look at Liam, I shouldn't, he is interested, and this is like stabbing him in the back.

"Well, I guess that explains why in the two years we lived with Liam we never met you" I nod, although me been in the navy is part of the reason, the fact is I avoid Liam as much as possible when I am back.

"Yeah, well while he is my brother, we are close, but not that close. There is a lot that he does not know about me and my life, which is exactly how I like to keep it."

Liam is a child, and I can just imagine him at my businesses, it wouldn't end well, not at all.

I also don't like the fact he would tell everyone he meets, my mum knows, she approves she even visited at one point and said it was a wonderful business.

"So, what business are you thinking of opening then?". She seems like a teacher; that is what I first thought of seeing her.

"I don't know to be honest; I just know I want to open a business. Something that helps people". I nod, she hasn't thought that far ahead clearly, or maybe she has, and she just isn't saying?

"So why don't you think you will go on any more missions?" She looks at me; then I see the regret on her face and the worry that she overstepped the mark.

She hasn't; it is a perfectly innocent question to ask, I asked her about university

"I have been doing it now for over ten years; I could stop anytime I wanted. I just feel now is the right time to stop, honestly, though, I always feel pulled back in. It is honestly time to say goodbye to that part of my life now though I think."

She smiles at me, and we sit and talk longer about her university courses and how they are going.
