Chapter 2
Bea had managed to get herself ready and find an outfit in such a short amount of time By the time Bea finished getting ready Maxine was knocking on the door
"Hey maxi" Bea said while opening the door
"Hi you ready to go sweetie" maxi responded nicely
"Yeah let me just grab my house key and wallet" Bea grabbed her stuff and locked the door they walked to the cab and got in
"So where is this bar you are taking me to" Bea asked
"It's about 10 mins away a friend told me about it she said it was pretty fun she actually might meet us there in a little bit"
"That's great"
"I'm sure you will love her she said her friend is going to be performing since it's open mic night"
The rest of the way was silent they finally reached their destination maxi payed the cab fair Bea tried to take care of it but maxi ended up paying they walked in bea was surprised it was kind of crowded maxi offered to get drinks so she went and found a spot to sit at.
"Here you go Bea" maxine said as set down a a pink drink in front of Bea
Bea looked at it trying to figure out what it was
"Thank you but what is it?"
"It's called a knockout it taste really good"
Bea raised the glass to her lips and took a drink
"Mmm that is great maxi"
Maxine smiled at Bea but it quickly disappeared when she noticed Beas shirt sleeve had moved enough for her to see the big bruise on her wrist
"What happened Bea" she asked voice full of concern
"Um nothing don't worry about it" Bea said while pulling her sleeve down covering her wrist again
"That doesn't look like nothing Bea what's going on is that from Harry again I thought you said that only happened that one time you can talk to me"
"I don't want to right now I want to enjoy being out with you tonight" Bea said to Maxine
"Alright but you aren't going to get away from this you will tell me eventually"
Bea shook her head agreeing with her they both looked to the stage when they heard some guy start singing he is pretty good Bea thought as she finished her drink she noticed maxi had just finished hers to so she got up to go get another
"I'm going to grab another drink do you want one"
"Yeah sure I'll take the same thing"
Bea made her way over to the bar an ordered two knockouts the bartender quickly made them and handed the drinks to her she payed and thanked him as she was walking back to the table she noticed a blonde woman sitting next to Maxine at there table "hmm must be her friend she mentioned she made her way back to her seat
"Here is your drink"
"Thanks Hun" Maxine smiled at her
"Oh yes I'm sorry Bea this is Kaz the friend I was telling you about and Kaz this is Bea"
"Nice to meet you" Kaz said while shaking Beas hand
"You to" Bea said
They all chatted for a little bit Bea surprisingly really likes Kaz she isn't used to meeting new people but she can see the three of them being good friends
"Well I have to go check on a friend she should be getting ready to perform soon"
"Bye" bea said
"See you later" maxi said
Kaz walked away probably to the backstage then maxi got up to get more drinks Bea was left there listening to all these people perform she was having fun she needed this as she looked at the stage waiting for the next person she saw a blonde walk through the curtains and sit on a stool in front of the mic Bea took in a sharp breath when she recognized that blonde as Allie Novak Bea was surprised "wow she looks sexy and beautiful at the same time" Bea thought Bea stopped and shook that thought out of her head she figures it's the drinks talking
"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart"
Bea was stunned at how amazing her voice is she felt butterflies in her stomach when she looked at allie but she was pulled out of her thought when maxi came back to the table
"Here you go wow she is good"
"Yeah she is" Bea said
"Hey isn't she that walk in from today"
Bea just shook her head she was at a sudden loss of words when she noticed Allie looking right at her smiling Bea just blushed which didn't go unnoticed by Maxine they both watched as Allie continued
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Maxine noticed Beas blush and she seemed so entranced in the young woman on stage maxi looked at the blonde and saw her looking right at Bea with a big smile Bea looked happy in that moment the song ended and everyone clapped and cheered for her
"Someone has a crush" Maxine said with a smile
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"Sure you don't I saw the way you two were staring at each other you looked very entranced by her"
"Ok well Allie is pretty sexy I mean cute that was the drinks talking i ment just cute" Bea quickly tried to fix what she said out loud
"You should go talk to her" maxi said laughing
"Um no I'm married and not gay"
"You really shouldn't be married to him and you shouldn't worry about labeling yourself Bea" Maxine said seriously
"Can we change the married topic please" Bea said not wanting to think about that
"Ok but Bea you should go talk to Allie she seems" Maxine was cut off by someone
"She seems really sexy is that what you were telling Bea" Allie said walking up with Kaz giving Bea a wink
"Do you all know each other" kaz asked a bit confused
"I met Bea earlier today she did my hair and I didn't get your name" Allie said
"Maxine and your Allie right"
"Yes I am I see someone has been talking about me" she said smirking at Bea
"Come join us" Bea said trying avoid blushing
"Sure" kaz said
"let me go grab a drink kaz want to go with me rounds on me for us all" maxi and kaz left to get the drink this will probably Beas last drink she already is feeling buzzed she felt Allie sit right next to her in the booth seat Bea looked at her and noticed Allie was looking right at her
"So you change your mind about having a drink with me" Allie joked
"No I didn't think I would really see you again"
"It's fate don't you think"
Bea started laughing so hard at that
"You don't like my attempt at flirting" Allie asked Bea trying not to laugh herself
"Oh yeah real Casanova you are" Bea said making Allie laugh
"So what brings you here tonight"
"Maxi heard about this place from kaz she told her that her friend was performing I had no idea that friend was you"
"What did you think about it"
"you were really amazing up there I had a hard time looking away" Bea said looking Allie in the eyes getting lost in all that blue
"It was my first time doing it looking at you really helped me get through my nerves" she said while looking at Bea with admiration and desire she gently put her hand on Beas that was on the table she heard Beas gasp at this but didn't bother moving
"i was really surprised to see you" bea said
"a good surprise i hope" allie said as she rubbed beas hand a little
"actually yeah it was"
"im glad you ended up here tonight we got a chance to talk" allie said
beas hand that wasn't under allies came up to allie and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear bea heard her take a sharp breath in
"Your hair looks good you must have a good hairdresser"
"Oh yeah she is great at what she does and she is really stunning she has the red hair that makes her look so sexy she makes it really hard to concentrate on anything"
Bea felt an unfamiliar throbbing feeling at her center it was a good feeling though what was going on with her she doesnt like girls there moment was broken when maxi and kaz had returned kaz and Allie a started talking
"Did we interrupt something" Maxine whispered to Bea
"No you didn't" Bea responded
Two hours later and a few drinks later to they all decide to leave as they were walking out kaz ask maxi if she wanted to share a cab since they live in the same apartment building
"Bea are you going to be ok" Maxine asked
"Yeah I'm good"
"I'll share a cab with you bea where you headed" Allie asked
"right by my work" Bea said
"Perfect I'm headed that way"
They got in the cab and headed home they got dropped off in front of the shop they walked a few minutes until they were getting closer to Beas house
"Well this is me " Bea said
"I had fun tonight I hope to see you again maybe grab lunch get to know each other more"
"I would like that but I'm married"
"Ok how about as friends than"
"Ok how about tomorrow "
"Sounds great goodnight Bea"
Allie gave bea a hug than walked away she left Bea there feeling all warm from the hug she got herself together went inside she decided to go up to bed Harry was passed out on the couch as Bea lay there in bed she wondered how her day could be so bad but end surprisingly good hopefully tomorrow will be ok she slowly drifted off to sleep with Allie on her mind.
