Best of luck
"Kim? Hey... what are you doing here? Oh wow, hey Sarge. Good to see you too?"
"Sean Roman. Well I'll be dammed. Didn't expect to see you again." Platt said with some disdain in her voice.
"Shocking, I know. Surprised to see you both as well. What brings you here?"
Platt jumped in, "We're on a girls weekend for Kim's bachelorette party." Platt smiled and cut her eyes at him.
"Oh wow. That's great Kim. Best of luck. Who's the lucky guy?"
"Adam." Hailey walked up. Kim was still shocked and a bit tipsy and she really didn't want to talk to him.
"Well good for you both. It was clear you two were always crazy for each other."
"Thanks". Kim answered. She felt weird talking to him because Adam would be furious.
"Well have fun ladies. Again congrats Kim. I really mean it." With that Sean made his way to the bar.
"Come on. Don't let that ruin your night. The night is still young!" Hailey started pulling Kim back to the middle of the dance floor.
They all started dancing some more. A guy approached Vanessa and asked her to dance. She politely declined and turned away. But the guy grabbed her arm. "I said no". She yelled and pulled her arm back. Kim saw the whole thing. "Hey, she said no so I would back off if I were you."
"Shut up bitch." He pushed Kim. She stumbled back having had several drinks and shots. She stumbled and then fell hitting her head.
"Kim, you ok?" Trudy was by her in a second and Hailey was dealing with the guy. She had grabbed his arm and twisted it while she slammed his head on the table.
The music stopped as everyone watched the altercation. Sean came over to make sure Upton was ok. He checked on Kim as the bouncers escorted the guy out.
"You all ok!" He asked.
"Burgess has twisted her ankle. Other that that we're fine. Thanks for checking on us Roman." Platt was helping Kim up.
"I think I am ready to leave." Kim announced.
"Here let me help you." Sean offered, seeing Kim wince in pain.
Hailey jumped in. "I think we got it but could you make sure the guy isn't outside while I get Kim in the car?" Hailey had one side while Platt had the other. They were helping Kim walk/hobble to the exit.
"Sure thing! Why don't I go get the car and bring it around." Sean asked.
"I can get it but just walk with me." Vanessa added.
They waited for the car. Kim's phone began to buzz. She looked at the caller ID, seeing Adams name pop up.
"Don't answer. Boy wonder will be full of beans when he hears what happened and finds out we ran into Roman. Let it go to voice mail. Call him later." Platt suggested.
Kim nodded. She didn't feel well. Her ankle was throbbing and she felt a headache coming on.
Vanessa pulled up with the car. Sean jumped out and held the door while Platt and Hailey got Kim into the back.
"Hope you feel better Burgess. Take care."
"Thanks Sean. You too."
Kim's phone buzzed again. She knew she needed to answer but was afraid Adam would here her shaky voice.
"Here, I'll answer for you Kim." Rojas grabbed the phone and hit the answer button. Before she could speak, Adam jumped in.
"Hey Darlin."
"Hello sweetheart." Rojas couldn't help but laugh!
"Oh, Ha. Sorry, where's Kim?" Adam questioned.
"She's right here. There was a mishap and she took a tumble but nothing major."
"A tumble? What kind of tumble?" Adam was getting antsy and wanted answers. Rojas was taking her time delivering them.
"Just fell on the dance floor. She may have twisted an ankle. No need to worry."
Adam was off his stool and heading to a quieter place to talk. "Fell! Does she need to get it checked out?"
Vanessa explained the altercation to Adam. His anger rising as he was furious that Kim had been pushed.
"That guy needs to be arrested! Maybe I should come up there."
"No, no Adam. Its fine. I promise. I think it is just twisted. I am sure she will be fine by morning. Just glad that guy Roman was here to help. Everyone seemed to know him. He came right over once he saw the altercation."
"Wait. Who was there and came over? Did you say Roman as in Sean Roman?"
"Yeah, that's his name. Y'all know him or something?"
"Yeah, something." Adam felt his blood pressure rise. He was no fan of Sean's. He hated the guy.
"Hey," Vanessa chimed in clearly not picking up on Adam's sudden anger. "I'm going to give the phone to Kim. They just got her in the car."
Kim tried to sound normal but felt her voice crack due to her pain. "Hey."
"Darling? You ok!"
"Yep, just twisted my ankle defending Rojas' honor. No need to worry."
"No need to worry?" Adam's voice rose an octave. "Rojas said Roman is there. Please tell me I heard her wrong."
Kim grimaced. She knew this was going to upset Adam.
"How is he there? Why? Did you talk to him?"
"I literally bumped into him on the dance floor about 10 minutes before all this happened. We spoke for about 10 sec. then he headed back to the bar. Complete coincidence."
"Ok...". Adam was not happy and made no bones about it. "This has seriously put a damper on my evening. I hate that guy!"
"Come on Adam. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."
Adam sighed and decided that reminding Kim of his level of hate for Roman was not going to accomplish anything.
"Are you sure you are ok? Do you need to have your ankle looked at? I can be there in 2 hours."
"No babe. I am fine. I promise. I love you. I am going to turn in and rest. I am sure I will be fine by morning."
"Ok... so what did the prick say to you?" Adam had to ask.
"He said, Best of luck!"
Thanks for reading and please leave me a review. I appreciate your thoughts on my chapters. It helps me make sure that I am on the right track. I have never been a Roman fan and hated that he caused Kim to second guess her relationship with Adam to begin with. I always wanted Adam to deck him once and for all.
