Chapter one
Finally, after months of long days and short nights the weekend had finally arrived for Special Agent Elizabeth Scott. She'd ended her day early telling Ressler she was going to start her weekend early. It was Friday evening and her friends could arrive any moment now. The evening would consist of cocktails, girl talk and chick flicks. It was something she'd been looking forward to the entire week. It had been too long since she'd talked to her friends. It was Amy who arrived first and quickly after her followed Jessy and Sarah. After making cocktails for everyone, Liz joined her friends in the sitting room. They'd agreed to each chose one movie. Liz had picked The Lake House. Amy chose Sex and the City the movie. Jessy brought Bridget Jones' Diary and Sarah pulled Two Weeks Notice out of her bag. All of them of course had seen each of the movies, which was good because nobody would mind the conversation.
They were watching their first movie, which was Sex and the City when conversation turned to Mr. Big and if there was a real life Mr. Big. Liz immediately thought about Red but preferred to keep that to herself. She quickly left to take care of a new round of mojito's. When she returned her friends were talking about the age difference between Carrie and Mr. Big.
"I just don't know if I could go for a man like that." Amy said.
"But look at him. He's so charming, so confident." Sarah pointed out.
"So are younger guys."
Liz had her own thoughts about older men. If she was only honest only one older man. She kept quiet, drank her mojito and listened to her friends.
"But they have experienced life. They don't have the need proof themselves anymore. They are confident in who they are. That is the appeal of a Mr. Big." Sarah turned to Liz who she thought was too quiet. "What do you think, Liz? You've been far too quiet."
Liz shrugged. "Depends on the guy."
"Come on Liz. That's too easy." Jessy joined the conversation. "Let me ask it like this. Who would you choose? Aiden or Mr. Big?"
"Mr. Big." She said way too quickly.
"I knew it." Jessy exclaimed. "I'd choose Aiden. She should have never left him."
"But she couldn't. Mr. Big is her one true love." Amy pointed out. "You should never settle for anything less than your true love."
Sarah nodded her agreement. "Let's get back to the movie girls." Otherwise the rest of the movie would be missed by all of them. They had been known to do that. She eyed Liz for a moment. Her friend was suspiciously quiet. She would keep her eye on her.
With the first movie finished, the girls moved on to Two Weeks Notice. "I really like this one." Sarah said as she made herself comfortable in her seat to watch the movie she'd picked. "Love that sexy English accent."
"And those suits." Liz added. She loved a man in suit.
"True." Amy continued. "Those two are perfect for each other but they can't see it at first."
"Ssssttt…" Jessy silenced them otherwise they would surely miss most of the movie.
"Look at him." Amy pointed at the screen where George Wade stood up from the massage table after Lucy had stormed into his office. "For a guy his age, he's got a nice body."
"He can't tell her he doesn't want her to leave so he makes sure she can't get another job." Liz sighed. "He loves her." She checked her friend's glasses and saw they were empty. "More mojito's ladies?" She asked. Receiving affirmative answers from her Liz jumped up and quickly went to the kitchen to make them another round of drinks.
"Men." Amy grumbled. George and June were kissing each other in the elevator. "He loves Lucy and he knows it, but he can't resist that redhead throwing herself at him. Redheads…" Amy murmured.
"They can't resist a woman throwing herself at them." Sarah agreed with Amy. "You can see how disappointed she is when she walks in on them. They clearly shared a moment at the benefit, but he's forgotten all about it already."
"He isn't ready to admit to himself that he loves her." Liz whispered as the four of them continued to watch the movie.
About 30 minutes later the movie was finished. Lucy and George had found each other eventually. All four women sighed a happy sigh at that ending. "Should we have some more drinks?" Jessy asked her friends.
"Why not? None of us has to drive home. I know I wouldn't mind another drink."
Liz and Sarah nodded their agreement to Amy's words. "I'll go make us some more." Sarah went in to the kitchen as the others picked the next movie. It was time for Bridget Jones' Diary.
"Look at him." Jessy pointed to the screen where Mark Darcy had just declared his love for Bridget. "He loves her, just like she is. "Jason's never said anything like that to me. Though she loved her husband, she sometimes wished he'd be a bit more romantic.
"Oow, come on. Jason adores you. There's nothing he wouldn't do for you." Liz pointed out to her friend. She'd always thought Tom adored her as much as Jason adored Jessy, but clearly she'd been wrong. She shook her head. She wasn't going to go there tonight.
"True." Jessy smiled. "He's a good man."
"She never should have trusted Daniel." Sarah said as she watched Bridget storm out of Daniel's house after catching him with another woman. "That man was bad news from the start."
"But what a sexy bad news." Amy sighed. She took her cocktail and drank the last bit.
"She should have never rejected Mark." Liz sniffed. She was emotional. She blamed the alcohol and her lack of sleep. Still hearing Celine Dion singing All by myself, certainly wasn't helping her state of mind. It all seemed to make her think of Red and the way she'd been pushing him away. He'd been her rock after her divorce and yet she kept him at a distance and kept blaming him for everything that went wrong in her life. It was never his fault. It was all her fault.
TBC...
next: Red shows up.
