Chapter 21...

At the club lily was talking to doug when carly came into the office and saw them looking pretty serious;"Hi,guys,what's going on?"

"Nothing."answered her friend quickly;"What are you doing here?"

"I was getting bored at home,lily,doing nothing,so i came to see if there was something to do downhere."started carly suspicious;"Is everything okay downhere?"

"Everything's fine."said she getting up and walking out of the office with carly;"This is your day off,so you shouldn't even be here and if jack knew about this he'd freak out."

"Why do i get the feeling that you want me to get out of here for some reason?"asked her friend;"Tell me the truth,lily,is there something that you're not telling me?"

"There is something,but i can't tell you what it is because then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."answered lily;"So,please just go home and relax,carly,let us handle things downhere and we'll see you again tomorrow."

"So it's for my wedding."smiled she;"For a minute there i thought that there was something wrong at the club and that you guys were trying to keep that from me."

"Would we do that?"said her friend as she gently pushed carly out of the club;"Go home!"

"What now,lily?"asked doug worried after carly had left the club and lily walked back into the office;"Do you really want to keep this from carly knowing how she'll react when she finds out?"

"Then we're just going to have to make sure that she doesn't find out because she doesn't need any extra stress right now and we'll just have to fix this ourselves."answered she softly;"If carly knew about the fact that once again two bartenders didn't show up for no reason lastnight then she'd be behind the bar,working,here tonight and i don't want that."

At al's vienna was getting ready for the lunch crowd when katie walked in;"Hi,girlfriend,where is henry?"

"He's out to get some stuff."said vienna looking up;"You seem happy about something,katie,did you meet somebody special or did you and brad make up again?"

"Brad who?"laughed she;"I'm just happy and things are looking up for me."

"Why do i get the feeling that you're up to something?"asked her friend suspiscious;"What's going on?"

"Nothing's going on,vienna,life is just good to me right now and that makes me happy."answered katie;"Is it so strange that i'm happy?"

"Ofcourse it is,honey,your ex is going to get married this friday to a woman that you hate."said she;"Are you up to something,katie,are you planning to wreck their wedding or something?"

"No,i wouldn't do that and i'm over jack!"started her friend annoyed;"The only reason why she is able to marry him is because i turned away from him."

"If you say so."answered vienna still not convinced;"As long as you're smart enough to stay away from them."
