Chapter One
Mandy sat at the bar trying to take her mind off things. She couldn't believe how things had changed the past year. For starters she'd moved half way around the world leaving behind her family, friends and her boyfriend Brett. She didn't want to leave but was forced to after a crazed ex- boyfriend had made threats on her life. She felt so alone and lost not knowing what she'd do or rather how she'd survive on her own. She only wished that Brett were with her now to help her gather her thoughts and move on.
"Hey are you ok?" a voice said from beside her. Mandy turned her head to the left and focused on the person two seats up from her.
"Yeah I'm fine" Mandy replied
"You sure?"
"Yeah thanks. It's just been a really long and tiring day."
"Ok. I'm Sue by the way"
"Mandy. Nice to meet you" Mandy said shaking Sue's hand gently.
"And you. Nice accent, your not from around here are you?"
"No I just arrived a couple of hours ago from Australia"
"No kidding. I've always wanted to go there and I'm a huge Home and Away fan"
The two continued to talk for a while longer until a tall blonde came up and sat down between the two women. He looked at Allie and said
"Hey Sue what's talking so long with the drinks?"
"Sorry Adam I got talking to Mandy here"
Adam turned and faced Mandy. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was, she took his breath away and for once in his life he was speechless.
"Hey I'm Mandy" she said holding out her hand to Adam who shook it lightly, "sorry for keeping Sue from you. I guess you'll probably be wanting her back now"
"Why don't' you come over and join us? I'm sure you don't want to sit here by yourself all night. Oh and I'm sure the others would love to meet you."
Sue said pointing to the table of people in the far left-hand corner of the club. Mandy thought things through trying to work out whether these new people were safe enough. Because after everything she'd been though recently she was always very cautious. After a moment she looked at both Adam and Sue and said,
"Sure I'd love too … if you don't mind"
"Not at all. Sue wouldn't have offered otherwise"
Adam had a smile on his face from ear to ear. He was so happy that Mandy was going to join them. He didn't know what it was about he but whatever it was he liked and he didn't want to let her go. Sue picked up the tray of drinks and headed back to her friends with Mandy and Adam close behind.
Mandy was introduced to all the people at the table who included Chris; who was Sue's older brother, Jay, Jeff and Matt. Mandy soon discovered that they all worked at the World Wrestling Federation, as wrestlers and they were all so welcoming towards her and made her feel right at home. When they asked Mandy about herself, she kept the information to a minimum. After all she hadn't known them all that long. So she told them that she'd moved to America to start a fresh and to open a hair salon, which wasn't too fair from the truth.
When they had finished there around of drinks Sue and Mandy offered to go and get the next lot. Mandy thought this was the best option to have a quiet word to Sue about the others. While they sat at the bar waiting for the drinks to arrive, Mandy said,
"You wanna know something funny?"
"Of course"
"When Adam came over to the bar earlier I thought you two were an item"
"Oh my gosh you're not serious are you? I don't think I could stand him. I mean he's a great guy and all but he can be a bit of a handful at time."
"Oh?" Mandy questioned
"Yeah you know he's a big kid at heart and loves joking around. I guess that's why he hasn't been able to find someone in a while. Don't get me wrong he's a terrific but if your interested in him, just be warned."
"Oh I'm not interested in him"
"Oh yeah … I've noticed the way you two have been looking at each other tonight."
"Oh really I'm not … I have a boyfriend at home … even if we are going though a bit of a rough spot…"
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that … if you ever need to talk … I'm always here"
"Thanks Sue. It's crazy I've known you less than 3 hours but I feel like we've been friends forever"
"Oh I know what you mean. I feel the same way."
"How did you and Jeff meet?" Many ask, "I mean if you don't mind tell me"
"Oh no not at all. I came to visit Chris for the holidays and he let me go to the show with him … and to cut a long story short I literally bumped into Jeff in the corridor and it was love at first sight. Much like you and Adam" Sue joked
"Hey" Mandy protested
"Just kidding" Sue laughed
"That is so sweet. You guys are just so cute together"
"Oh well you know we try"
Sue joked as the drinks arrived. Just as they were about to head back, Mandy's mobile rang so she stayed at the bar while Sue returned to the table. It was Brett ringing to check on her to see how she was. Mandy was delighted to hear his voice but couldn't stop thinking about what she knew. She'd known for so long and Brett didn't have a clue. As much as she wanted to bring it up she thought it wasn't exactly the best time or place.
