Thanks for the Reviews! :-)
Jack sighed with relief before his lips parted into a huge grin.
"You're a life saver!" He said standing up.
An hour passed and they'd managed to fix up the club in record time.
"Now, that, Was fast!" he said preparing glasses on the bar.
"Yeah! We make a good team!" Ronnie smiled coming up to the bar.
"We always have!" He said quietly.
Ronnie glanced at him for a second trying to visualize what life would be like if it was him she'd married. Shaking her head of those thoughts she nodded.
"So, what's this function for?" She asked changing the subject.
"I'm not sure actually, Bradley took the booking!"
"Bradley?"
"Yeah, he worked here for a while didn't really work out.."
"Not really Bradley's scene?" Ronnie laughed.
"Exactly!"
The pair were interrupted by the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
"Hello!!" a middle aged man cheered coming into the club.
"Hi!" Ronnie replied, the man looked vaguely familiar to her but she couldn't place him. She looked at Jack who had the same expression.
"Have you been here before?" Jack asked as the man examined the club.
"Yes, I love the place, no windows, privacy, it's perfect!"
"No windows?" Ronnie said aloud, her mouth dropped open as she realized who the man was.
"Now, where is the changing area?"
"Emm can you excuse us for one minute?" she said grabbing Jacks arm and pulling him towards the office.
"What's wrong?" He asked as she closed the door.
"You know who that is don't ya?"
Jack shrugged shaking his head.
"Should I?"
"It's that man from the nudist group, remember? He came that time to look around, then Selina.."Ronnie stopped suddenly remembering there were many reasons her and Jack weren't happily married now "...came to see you, I had to get rid of him by myself.."
Jack rose his hand to his head when he too realized who the man was.
"Ohhh! What we gonna do?!" he almost shouted.
"Calm down!" Ronnie laughed " We'll have to give him a reason to leave, cancel the booking, a fire or something"
Jack looked at her in disbelief "A fire? That's a bit over the top Ronnie.."
"No not an actually fire you idiot!...Just smoke..Ohh well, why not let him have the function here..." she said smugly.
"Well I suppose, we could turn the air conditioning up ..."
"Err No!" Ronnie laughed.
The man knocked at the office door, causing Ronnie to scrunch her face in confusion. She walked to the door and allowed the man enter the office.
"We're really sorry Mister..?"
"Kelly"
"Mr. Kelly, but we can't have the function here, tonight.."
"What? Why not?" the man asked stepping forward dramatically.
"Because, because...Jack tell him!" Ronnie said stepping behind an unusual quiet Jack.
The man moved his gaze to Jack, waiting for an answer.
"Emm well it's a family issue, we're going to have to close, now, I'm really sorry mate!" Jack continued ushering the man outside.
5 minutes later he returned to the office.
"He's going to call to re-schedual tomorrow!"
"What? Why didn't you just tell him you can't offer what he wants?" Ronnie laughed "So we going to open up for the night or what.."
"Nah, too risky!" he smirked.
"Risky?!" she replied returning a smile " Well I suppose I'll go.."
"No stay, for a drink at least.
"Ok!" Ronnie nodded, one drink wouldn't hurt.
"I'll be right back.."Jack said quickly leaving the office.
Ronnie sighed as she heard her phone taking it out of her bag she reluctantly answered seeing Robs name flash on screen.
"Hello?"
"Ron, it's me, just landed."
"Right, did you have a good flight?"
"It was alright, listen about what we were talking about earlier.."
"Yeah!" *Please say you change your mind..*
"I really want us to start trying as soon as I get back.."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I had to leave, just don't have second thoughts, trust me it's what we need.........Right well, Speak to you later Ron, taxi's here, love you.."
With that the line went dead causing Ronnie to huff loudly.
Jack entered just as she put her phone down.
"Here, I think you deserve this.." he smirked handing Ronnie a glass of champagne.
"Thanks" she replied taking the glass.
"Tonight was fun!" he said smiling.
"Yeah, it was..I mean besides the whole waste of setting up the club for no reason
"Yeah, I should probably check bookings in future" Jack smiled walking towards Ronnie with his own drink, he intentionally lent across her to put his drink on the table. As he did she could smell him, he smelt so nice, so inviting, so safe. She loved having him this close to her.
"I've missed this!" He whispered leaning closer into her. He was so close to her, she could feel his breath on her face with each word he spoke, before she knew it, their lips had met.
