A/N : I KNOW I DON'T OWN THE BAR SCENE REALLY, I KINDA BORROWED IT FROM COYOTE UGLY.
Chapter 10
ADAM'S P.O.V
I lead my 4 friends to the queue outside the bar. Emma didn't seem bothered by the scenery around it, but Charlie, Julie and Guy gaped in amazement. I know the bar wasn't set in the most upstanding area of New York but not many places were.
"Connie works HERE"! Guy exclaimed.
"Yeah". I answered simply.
Soon enough we were at the front of the queue, I could tell the place was packed and every so often whilst we were queuing we could hear the cheers of the crowd inside. Guy was slightly mortified at first, in the thought that Connie actually worked in a place like this, but when it came time to go in and he saw the decentness of the place he relaxed. We hadn't even got onto the main floor when Guy was asking me where Connie was. I pointed to the brunette who was swinging from the ceiling above the bar, next to the red head as the blonde held up a box of matches.
"SCREAM IF YOU WANT ME TO LIGHT IT". She screamed as a cheer roared and she dropped a lit match on the bar. Immediately flames erupted on the surface of the bar.
After a few seconds the flames died down and the girls started dancing to Britney Spears 'I love rock and roll'. I could see shock on everyone's faces as I lead them to a seat at the back of the room. After the song ended the girls climbed down and began serving customers.
"That was Connie"? Julie asked.
"Yep". I smiled, I was rather proud to admit, especially when she looked so hot out there.
"Wow, she's changed". Charlie said still gaping in amazement.
I headed to the bar, making sure I wasn't seen by Connie. I was served by the blonde and quickly left the bar with the drinks in order to stay hidden from Connie. When I sat back down, there were no words spoken between us, we were all simply watching Connie. They soon got back up on the bar and began dancing. It was amazing to watch her. When the song ended they started getting down off the bar. I watched with daggers as one guy grabbed hold of her leg and she began pulling it away. Every instinct in my body was telling me to go down and pummel the guy, but before I had even had the chance to move, Connie had been handed a bucket and had poured what looked like freezing cold water on him and had jumped down.
"That's definitely our Connie". Julie smiled proudly.
The evening soon wore on, and we had managed to stay out of view of Connie, the bar soon began empting and we all saw Connie grab her jacket and bag. As she got to the door, we all stood and followed her, only I knew not to get too close. After 5 minutes, Charlie started walking quicker with Guy and managed to get his arm across her shoulders.
"Hey, how you doing"? I could hear him say. That was it, suddenly his arm was twisted up his back. I could see her face full of fear but then she actually realised who it was.
"OH MY GOD, Charlie". She released him as quickly as she had disarmed him then leapt into a hug with him.
"Hi". He picked her up in the hug.
Next came Guy and he swung her into a hug, when he had put her down he quickly introduced her to Emma who was pulled into a hug by Connie and then she gave Julie a massive hug, and finally she came to me. I only managed to get a quick hug, but I could still feel the heat between us.
"What are you doing here? I'm sorry Charlie, I didn't hurt you did I"? She asked with a huge smile and a glint of tears in her eyes.
"Nah". He replied but laughed as he rubbed his shoulder.
"I can't believe you're here, why didn't you call or anything, I could have gotten the night off work and picked you up from the airport". She babbled.
"We wanted to surprise you, but I see that was a mistake". Charlie laughed.
"Hey your just lucky I didn't have chance to get my pepper spray out". Connie joined in. "Why didn't you warn them not to sneak up behind me". She playfully hit me in my stomach.
"I thought it would be funny to let them find out on their own". I chucked.
"You knew she'd do that". Charlie playfully frowned at me.
"I was testing a theory, see she only threatened to kick my ass, I wanted to see if she really would". I laughed more now.
"All you had to do was ask, I would have shown you". Connie laughed as we all began walking again. "So where are you guys staying"?
"Adam's brothers putting us up". Guy answered.
"If you want I've got a perfectly good sofa if ever you want it". She offered them.
"We may just take you up on that someday". Charlie told her.
Before we knew it, she was unlocking the apartment door for us, she came in and took her jacket and bag off and putting them down as well as apologizing for the mess and then disappearing to Johns to get the kids. When she reappeared, Kelly was fast asleep in her arms and Tyler was apparently helping John collect all their things. I had no idea how Connie's small frame managed to carry Kelly but she had soon put Kelly in bed and came back only to disappear to hurry Tyler up. Tyler ran in and screeched at the sight of me. Connie shot in after him and covered his mouth up.
"Tyler, please be quiet, if Kelly wakes up, I'll never get her back to bed". She almost whispered in his ear then let him go. "Um, oh guy's this is my friend John, he looks after the kids for me when I'm at work". She introduced them to John who had followed her round. "John, this is Julie, Charlie, Guy, Emma and you know Adam". She told him.
"Hi". He smiled toward them. "Um, Kelly wasn't feeling well, she was burning up a bit". He told her.
"Ok, thanks".
"Bye guys". He waved to us and then headed to the door with Connie. "I'll see you later". He said his goodbyes to her and she placed a kiss on his cheek.
Tyler had now placed himself on my knee and was staring questioningly at everyone. I had to laugh to myself, he was a very curious boy. Connie had gone off to check on Kelly and returned in a pair of sweats.
"Connie, I want a drink". He told her.
"You can't sweetie, it's bed time". She told him.
"No, I don't want to go to bed". He argued.
"Well you have to". Connie answered leaning over the back of the sofa.
"Don't". He retaliated.
"Fine you stay up, but you've still got to go to school tomorrow".
"Fine". He copied defiantly.
He asked everyone who they were and told them he was Tyler. He then began telling everyone about himself and what he had done at school that day. Eventually he drifted off to sleep in my lap.
"Works every time". Connie came and picked him up off me and took him to bed.
"My God he's grown so much Connie". Julie told her when she came back.
"I know, it only seems like yesterday, that he was the 3 year old that was given to me". She replied with a smile. "Do you guys want a drink or anything". She offered then went off to get us all a drink of coffee.
When she came back and sat down, I could have cut through the tension with a knife. I could tell Guy was wanting to ask her billions of questions, but was too nervous or simply not wanting to. It was Connie who broke the silence.
"I suppose you guys want to know why I lost touch"? Connie said suddenly.
"We know some of it from Adam". Julie told her.
"I'm sorry, I know I should have kept in touch, but I just, I just couldn't".
"There's nothing you should be sorry about, we'd have all done the same thing in your position". Charlie comforted her.
"No, there's a hell of a lot I'm sorry for and regret, mostly I regret leaving Minnesota and you guys".
"Hey, you could always come home, we've all got plenty of room for you". Emma joined in, something I wasn't really expecting.
"I know, but at the moment I can't. I have more than myself to think about now".
"Well whenever your ready, we're here for you". Guy concluded.
"Ugh, my life is a mess". Connie began laughing.
Well that's the end of that chapter!!!! PLEASE R&R!!!!!!
