Thanks SO much for the reviews/favorites/follows! You guys mean the world to me :D Heres another update! Btdubbs, I'm skipping over to the day she will be flying to Paris.
Nina's and Amber's outfits are on my profile! I am also changing the place they are getting married to the hotel!
Disclaimer- I do not own anything except the plot, and Zayn :D
Amber Millington entered the plane with a smile on her face.
Her best friend was getting married, she was going to Paris, and she gets to see Jerome again.
She looked at her ticket again, for about the 20th time that day.
After a few minutes of looking for her seat, she finally found it. She put her carry on bag in the space above her, and gently sat down in the window seat.
She saw a man walking toward her, out of the corner of her eyes, and silently hoped, he wasn't sitting next to her.
But, he then stopped sharply, and Amber turned to face him.
She gasped when she saw who it was. Jerome Clarke.
He smiled lightly at her as her took the seat next to her. "Hey Amber."
"Hey Jerome." she replied, before throwing him a sweet smile.
"How have you been, why isn't Alfie with you?" he wondered.
"I've been pretty good actually, almost finished getting my business degree to open a little shop up. Alfie and I broke up a couple days ago. What about you?" She replied.
"I'm sorry to hear about you and Alfie. I have been good also, just landed a movie deal. So, been pretty busy. I am currently single also." He gazed at her.
Amber felt butterflies soar through her stomach.
"Thats great. You know, I never got to apologize for what happened so many years ago." She said, looking down. "I just feel so bad, and it was the worst thing I have ever done. You know I have really missed you."
"Its really okay. I have missed you too Ambs. Plus, we were kids when it happened, we have matured so much from that time." He sighed.
"Well, we will be spending a lot of time together for the next couple days." She laughed.
"I know, plus we live really close, we should really regain our friendship." Her heart shattered into a million pieces.
Just friends.
She just masked her feelings over with a smile, and simply nodded her head.
In about an hours time, the plane finally landed.
As Amber stood up to get her carry-on, Jerome stopped her. "I'll carry that for you."
She smiled, and they left to see if they could find Nina and Fabian. On their way there, they picked up their luggage.
More like Jerome picked it up, since he insisted that she should not lift a finger whatsoever.
After what felt like centuries, they finally found them. Nina and Amber practically ran to eachother.
"Its so great to see you again, you look great." Nina smiled, as they started toward their car.
"Not as great as you, but thanks." Amber laughed, stepping into the vehicle.
It was a nice rental, that they must have picked up.
"So, tell me how you know what happened, since were face to face now." Nina sighed, but then gave her friend a polite smile as she started.
"Well, he called me on the phone, and told me all about how Piper was transferred to London from Julliard, because apparently they do that." She stopped to take a breath.
"Then he said, that we weren't really working, and of course I agreed, because we really weren't. He told me when he saw Piper he felt like he still had some lingering feelings for her, and that he wanted to find out if they would work."
"Thats terrible." Fabian spoke, and Nina nodded.
"I Know. I just wanted at least one of the boyfriends I have had over the years to love me. Is that to hard to ask for?" she said, as a silent tear started its way down her cheek, followed by a few more.
"Ambs, don't cry. Obviously he wasn't worth it." Jerome pleaded, and she nodded.
"I should have believed you in high school." she whispered to him.
"So guys, we will be staying at the Hotel Ritz. And supper will be at 6:30, dress fancy." Nina smiled.
Jerome and Amber both nodded their heads.
"Here we are." Fabian exclaimed, pulling into the nearest parking spot he could find.
The hotel they picked out was beyond amazing. It was 5 stars, and it was gorgeous. (If you haven't seen it, google Hotel Ritz Paris, France!)
"Here is your room keys." Nina said, handing them each a card, "You guys are neighbors."
"We are going to check out some places in the hotel, so you guys go along." Fabian laughed.
Jerome grabbed Amber's arm, and pulled her toward the stairs.
They quickly found their rooms, and went inside. Amber gasped as she entered.
There was a king sized bed, a chandeliar, and a huge TV. The room was outstanding. (Seriously, Google it :D)
She threw down her luggage and jumped onto the bed. Amber sighed in relief. It had been a long day.
By that time, it was nearly 5:00, so she decided to get ready to go to supper. She picked out a pale pink strapless dress, with a rhinestone trim along the top, which she had designed herself.
She had a silver clutch, and silver strappy shoes, also from her collection.
She curled her hair into riglets, and did her makeup.
She looked at the time and saw it was 6:15. She grabbed her purse, and headed out the door.
Outside her room, she was met by Jerome. He ooked at her with wide eyes.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" She joked.
"No, its just, you look beautiful." he smiled lightly, and one instantly grew on her face.
"You don't look to bad yourself." She chuckled, and for the first time that day, they hugged.
He breathed in the scent of her hair, and she smiled into his chest.
"I missed you so much." he admitted.
"Don't get me started on how much I have missed you. Leaving you like that was seriously the hardest thing ever done in the history of time." she frowned.
"It hurt so bad, you know, after graduation." he replied, as they started walking toward the restaurant.
"I know, it hurt me too. I just, couldn't leave Alfie at that time. I should of." she sighed.
They entered the restaurant, and immediatly saw Nina and Fabian.
Nina was wearing a mint green dress, with flower shaped rhinestones along the waist.
She also had a silver clutch, and strappy heels.
They sat down at a table, and smiled. "You girls both look very stunning." Fabian observed.
"Thank You, Fabian." Amber smiled.
"So, how do you guys like your rooms?" Nina asked.
"They are amazing." Jerome smiled, and Amber nodded her head.
"Oh, tomorrow Joy, Mick, Patricia, Eddie, Alfie, Piper, Mara and her new boyfriend are all coming." Fabian replied, "Everyone is in the wedding except Zayn and Piper."
"Great." Amber smiled.
After they ate, Nina and Fabian went to their room on the other side of the hotel, and Jerome and Amber went down the hallway toward their rooms.
Jerome stopped her before she could walk past, and pulled her into his room.
"What are you doing?" Amber giggled, as he picked her up and threw her on his bed.
"I wanna hang out." he replied, and sat next to her.
"Okay." Amber whispered, "What do you wanna do?"
"Talk, and lay here," he replied, and he pulled her in laying position, with her head on his chest.
"This feels so right." Amber muttered so softly Jerome almost couldn't hear.
"Do you still feel the way you did in high school?" Jerome asked, "You know, about, me?"
She nodded her head, and he smiled, "Me too."
"You do realize that we have knoew eachother for like, 17 years?" Amber smiled, rolling off him, but still where she was perring over him.
He simply nodded his head, and she smiled at him.
Thats when she leaned in and kissed him. She pulled away when she realized what she did, and he didn't have time to even kiss her back.
She stood up and backed away toward the door with tears in her eyes.
"Where are you going?" Jerome asked, standing up.
"I-I I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you. I just got out of a dead end relationship, and if we were to even get together, I would be holding you back from your dreams. I can't do that to you." she cried.
"Amber wait!" Jerome called, but she was already gone.
So, how did you like it? Review please!
