My heart began pacing, my wedding date was before my eyes and here was Randy telling me he had found out about Ivana. All these ideas floated around my head about what he could want. It was Sunday afternoon when I agreed to meet him. I wanted to give him some time to really process what he was saying before he had done anything. I was waiting at the Regal Bar, sipping a tequila sunrise feeling a little nervous to see him, but then again when hadn't I? I looked around the room to see it he was around anywhere maybe he couldn't find me. I glanced at my mobile to see if he had called or messaged me, but there was nothing. I looked up again and there was Randy, he looked terrible but this small smile grew on his face when he saw me. I smiled sympathetically; he must have felt absolutely betrayed. "Hey" I said.

He nodded.

"I'm so sorry Randy, about everything with Ivana, I shouldn't have gotten involved."

"It's alright Lea, you were just being a friend. Something I seem to have not been able to be in the last couple of months" he said sadly. His eyes were glossy; I put my hand over his and smiled.

"I know no matter what you were still always my friend, my best friend."

He smiled and then it seemed to be lost again. "I was awful to you Lea; I made you feel bad at your engagement party, I was just a jerk this whole time. I'm so sorry."

"It's alright Randy, friends don't say sorry to each other. It's all forgiven."

He sighed, "And Ivana... I guess her true colours came out."

Randy was miserable, I just wanted to cry seeing him so upset, his normal smile was replaced with this permanent puckered brow. I felt so bad for him. "I guess I just don't know why she had to lie to me; she could have just told me she wasn't pregnant in the beginning."

"I guess she felt like she was going to lose you" I said.

"Lose me?"

"Well... she told me she felt like you were becoming distant to her."

"Distant... We were married, I was committed to her."

"Maybe... but she felt like maybe you weren't all there."

"I thought I was... but anyway I'm done with her."

"Done?" I said shocked by his words.

He nodded, "After hearing the things she said, I couldn't stand being in the same room ever again."

"What did she say?"

He shook his head "just... some things."

Immediately I knew they were about me, I knew when he was hiding something. "Just tell me."

"Really Lea, she just said some nasty things that I don't want to repeat."

"I can take it, just let me know."

"I really don't want to say." His face was reluctant as he kept turning away.

"Randy, just tell me!"

He lowered his head, "I warned you."

I raised my eyebrows waiting for him to speak.

"She said that your mother probably left you because you were nothing but a fat, ugly skank..." He lifted his head, looking at my face for a reaction.

I laughed "that's it?"

"That's it" said Randy surprised.

"Randy, I'm a girl and when you're a girl you get called all sorts of things by other girls, because let's face it, everyone gets jealous or envious. I just consider it... flattery."

"You think that's flattery?"

I nodded. "Really it doesn't to me Randy, I admit I don't look or ever will look as beautiful or thin as Ivana but really I don't care"

"Well it pissed me off!" he roared. I was confused as to why he was so defensive. "I don't get why you would think of it as flattery? I could never let anyone say anything bad about you Lea, you are definitely none of those things she said, you're the most beautiful person I've ever met."

His blues eyes met mine, I was a little entranced as he we locked eyes. I broke from his gaze as I stared at the wine list; Randy scratched his head, smiling as he looked in the other direction.

"Well... thank you Randy." I could see the smirk on his face.

He cleared his throat, "Ivana is actually still at my house and I've decided to... leave her. She's going back to Italy tonight."

"Tonight? Are you sure you guys can't work it out?"

He looked at me weirdly, "Are you honestly saying you want me to stay with that woman?"

I chuckled.

"Didn't think so." I smiled, seeing a grin appear on his face. It definitely felt like before, just the two of us having fun. "Lea... I know I was weird about you and John before but really... I'm happy for you guys."

"You are?" I said, glee filled my face.

"I am... John is a great guy. If there was anyone I'd want you to be with, it would be John."

"I love him so much."

He watched the smile on my face, "I'm glad you're happy."

"We're actually getting married on the 5th" I said.

"The 5th of what?"

"The 5th coming up."

"Wow, that's next week."

I nodded "that's why John's here, we're going to have the wedding here."

Randy looked a little tense. He gulped down his beer and sighed. "I'm going to go... I have work tomorrow morning."

"Already? Um... alright, is this about the wedding?"

"No Lea" he said hugging me. "I assure I'm happy for you."

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, I'm talking about my wedding and you're getting separated from Ivana."

"Yeah... its fine Lea, just want to get some sleep... haven't for a few days."

"I'm here for you if you need me"

He nodded a smile appearing on his face.

I watched Randy walk away, he waved at me before leaving outside the door.

...

It was another Monday morning at work; I sat at my desk waiting for Wade to show up. I had all his things ready and his office was perfect just the way he liked it. I looked down the hall and there was Drew with a grin on his face, I looked at him a little disappointed. He looked at me smiling, "you alright Lea?"

I smiled "I'm fine Drew."

He nodded "alright, I'll be in my office, is Adele here?"

I pointed at my friend sitting a few desks away from me. He smirked as he watched her.

"Just wondering if you know if Mr Barrett is coming today? I heard he's back."

He looked at me puzzled "not that I know of, sorry Lea."

"That's ok" I said. "We still have you."

"Correct" he said winking at me; he closed his office door behind him.

Wade told me he'd be at work on Monday, I guess he wasn't coming. He still had until next week to be back anyway, because Drew was here. Still it would have been nice to see him.

...

The day went on and John had met up with me for my lunch break. We had a nice Italian meal and then he walked me back to the office. I had explained to everything that happened between Randy and Ivana. I also told him that I went to see Randy the other day, but told him we were strictly friends.

"Wow, that's tough" said John holding my hand.

"I know I feel really bad for him. I kind of feel bad for having this wedding."

"Do you want to post pone it? I understand, Randy is my friend too."

I smiled at him, kissing his lips. "No, I still want to get married to you."

He grinned. "I can't wait!"

"Me neither!" I wiped the lipstick I had just smudged on his lips.

"I want to ask Matt to be my best man; he, Taylor and everyone said they'll be here on Thursday."

"That's great; I'm wanted to ask Bethany to be mine."

"Bethany? But she's mean... I thought you didn't like her."

I chuckled. "I know but she's my family. The only cousin I have and I was hers at her wedding so I guess its right that she be mine."

"Whatever you want beautiful."

I blushed. "I wanted to ask Adele to be the flower girl."

"Isn't she a little old?" he said.

I punched him in the arm. "Not her, little Adele!"

"Oh! Yeah she'd make a gorgeous flower girl."

"She will."

"Is Wade here today?" he asked.

"No surprisingly, he told he would be here but I guess something happened, maybe he couldn't find someone to look after Adele."

"That Drew guy is pretty cool, it's weird that he's friends with Wade" laughed John.

"I know" I looked up at the building, brooding that I had to go back.

John grinned, as he pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly, feeling his hands find my waist. He pulled away, pecking at my lips. "I love you beautiful."

"I love you too" I said putting my hands through his hair.

He smiled, his dimples showing through his cheeks. I couldn't resist but to steal another kiss before I went back inside.

I walked up the hallway and I was baffled to see who was sitting on top of my desk, reading some of the files. "Mr Barrett?" I happily walked toward him. "I was hoping you'd come, I'm glad you're here."

"Lea... I need these done by tonight. Be sure they're done before you leave." His voice sounding monotone as he threw the files on my table. I felt a little annoyed, I got that he was back at work but he didn't have to be so harsh. I just ignored it.

"Sure... Sir" I said.

"Now where's Drew?" he asked.

I pointed near Adele's desk, where she and Drew stood chatting. Drew kept stroking his fingers up and down her arm, as Adele giggled, blushing at the Scotsman. Wade scowled at the two and walked in their direction. I just got started on the files.

"Hello Drew" said Wade interrupting the two.

Adele looked startled seeing Wade glaring at the two of them.

"Hey Wade, you're back soon" said Drew.

"Yeah, I thought it was time to get to work" said Wade.

Drew nodded.

"Can I talk to you in my office Drew?"

"Sure mate" said Drew smiling kindly at Adele. She sat back at her desk and watched the two males walk into Wade's office.

Thanks for reviewing guys. Please keep them coming. I hope you guys enjoyed the return of Mr Barrett. Now I have an idea that I wanted to throw with you guys, I'm really excited about almost getting close to 100 reviews that is just incredible! I love each and every one of you. Now I just wanted to throw this idea that whoever is my 111th review will get to have a part in the fic. But I won't give it to someone who will just keep writing reviews saying crap over and over until they are the 111th, because I want to make it fair. But if you are the 111th review and you don't want to be in it, then that's fine, I'll ask the 110th person and so on. If this is successful I may do it again. If you are the chosen one, I'll just pm you about details and things. Just an idea. Love Jess.
