By now it was the early hours of the morning, the whole group were on the dance floor, enjoying every minute of the night out. Jess's new shoes had started to hurt her, so she and Paula had decided to go and sit down, Kris was at the bar ordering them some drinks.

"God I am knackered, I am out of practice at this" Jess commented to Paula as she sat down

"You enjoying yourself though?"

Jess did not reply. Paula realised she was distracted

"Earth calling Jess, Earth calling Jess!" her friend laughed, whilst waiving her hand in front of her face, as Jess was starring towards the bar

"Sorry, what was that, I was miles away"

"I noticed, I asked if you were enjoying yourself"

"I am thanks, I am loving it"

"I take it that its mainly to do with him though"

"I have no idea what you are talking about"

"Very funny Jess, you've hardly been able to take your eyes off him all night" Jess blushed at her friends statement, knowing that it was true "I will admit Jess, he is not someone I would've imagined you with, he just seems so different"

"I know what you mean, but that's part of the attraction in a way, that he's not afraid to be himself, he is fascinating, intelligent, beautiful, funny, stubborn, argumentative, and he does not let me get away with anything, he does not pander to my every whim, he stands up to me, and sometimes that's what I need, don't get me wrong, he is the kindest, sweetest most loving person to me, but if he thinks I am acting like a brat, he is more than happy to point it out."

"You're still in love with him" It was more of a statement than a question, as both Paula and Jess new the answer, "Tell him, whilst you have the chance"

"He already knows how I feel, I told him everything in a letter, look I cant push it, for all I know he could still be angry at me, and not trust me and I don't blame him, this could all be because he wants to have a relationship with our child"

"But Jess if that…" Paula was unable to continue that sentence as Kris had reached the table with their drinks

"Ladies here you go,"

"Thanks Kris"

"Yeah thanks"

Kris sat down beside Jess and the three of them started chatting, slowly one by one Jess's other friends came to sit down and join the conversation.

It was then that Kris decided to stand up

"Right, time for a toast to the birthday girl, Happy birthday Jess, hope all your dreams come true"

"To Jess," her friends chorused.

Jess blushed, "Thankyou everyone, today has been amazing, thankyou all"

The music had started to slow down at the club, so it was then that Kris whispered in Jess's ear "Dance with me?"

"I'd love to" she stated as Kris took her hand and led her towards the dance floor.
