Chp 2

Robin woke to the beeping of his alarm clock which he soon smacked to silence which resulted in it crashing against the floor. It was Friday and he had no uni lessons today. He dragged himself out of bed and went for a shower thinking about what he was going to do today. He had enjoyed having Aiden yesterday. Stephanie was a bit akward around him. She barely acknowledge he was there, never mind communicating with him. Aiden seemed to be distant to her also, but he was the kid, it was expect from him not Stephanie.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

Marian sat in the living room watching Aiden as he tried to sing to Bob the Builder. He couldn't really speak full sentences yet, but he could have a conversation with you easily. He sat with his toy bricks and pretended to fix them just like Bob. The phone started to ring out into the air of the living room and Marian reached across the couch and answered it.

'Hello.'

'Hey Mango.' Robin said on the other end.

Marian smiled at his old pet name for her. 'Hey Robin.'

Aiden's head shot to the phone when he heard his mother say his fathers name.

'The gang are all going to meet up tonight are you coming?' Robin asked.

'Yeah. I'll get my dad to watch Aiden.' Marian smiled.

'Cool. Well we are going to the Forest, so i'll meet you there at nine OK?' Robin explained.

'Sure. Oh hear Aiden wants to talk to you.' Marian said as Aiden walked up to her his hand out stretched wanting to the phone. Marian smiled as she handed the phone to Aiden who then toddled out of the room for "privatcy" as he would say.

She sat and thought about what to wear as she could hear Aiden blabbering on the phone to Robin. She would probably meet up with Djaq outside the club that was known as the Forest. They had been going to it since they could fake their age. Aiden walked back into the living room and handed Marian the phone.

'Thanks Babes' Marian smiled as he went back to watch Bob the builder as Marian dialled the number for her father.

'Hey dad. Could you watch Aiden tonight?' Marian asked and.

'Of course. I'll pick him up at six.' Edward smiled.

'Thanks dad.' Marian answered as she hung up. 'Well Aiden looks like your staying at your papa's tonight.'

Aiden didn't even turn his head from the TV as Marian laughed and shook her head.

Edward came at six like he had said and had taken Aiden back to his. With much hassel as Aiden had decided that he wanted to stay with Marian. But with a promise to go to the park with both Marian and Robin tommorrow he caved and went with Edward.

'Hey Emma are you busy tonight?' Marian asked as she stood in front her of wardrobe with nothing but her underwear on. 'Cool well do you want to come out tonight... Great meet me here at eight thirty...Cool see ya soon.' Marian hung up and threw the phone on the bed. What in the world was she going to wear.

Within the next to hours Marian was standing having finally decided on what to wear. Which was short denim shorts and a black sparky stop that hugges her hips then flowed down over them. She had light make-up and lip gloss and black heels and her hair curled to sit on her shoulders. She sighed as she looked in the mirror one last time. She heard the bell go and ran down stairs to let Emma in.

'Wow you look sexy.' Marian smiled as she saw Emma standing on her doorstep wearing a pink V-neck top that showed just the right amount of cleverage and long denim jeans with pink heels as her long brown hair cascaded down her back and arms.

'Thanks. You look hot yourself.' Emma smiled as she walked into Marian's hall. 'So we meeting the other's there?' Emma asked.

'Yep.' Marian said as she grabbed her black purse. 'Want to head the now?'

'Yeah why not.' Emma said as she opened the door and they began the fiteen minute walk to the club.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

Robin buttoned the last button on his shirt and sprayed Lynx on himself before he walked down the stairs and out onto the street. He was meeting Will and John at the corner and then Much and Allan further down the road.

'Stephanie?' Robin said as he saw her walking down the street to his house.

'Hey babes.' Stepahnie smiled.

'What are you doing here?' Robin asked her confused.

'I thought that we could go out clubbing. And by the look of you, you had the same idea.' Stephanie smiled as she checked Robin out.

'Yeah. But actually I a going out with the lads.' Robin winced. He had just realised what Stephanie was wearing. Which was a short denim skirt and a white boob tube and knee high black boots.

'Oh the guys.' Stephanie said.

'Well yeah and the girls.' Robin added.

'What girls?'

'Oh you know. Djaq and Marian.' Robin stated like it was obvious.

'Well can I come?' Stephanie asked smiling.

Robin didn't want her to come. He wanted it to be just friends. And Stephanie had a habit of getting plastered and falling all over the place. Which he could not be bothered handling tonight. But he could hardly turn her away. 'Yeah why not.' Robin sighed.

Stephanie smiled and took Robin's hand as they began walking down the road to meet Will and John.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

Emma and Marian walked along the street to the club where Djaq had texted and said she was waiting outside for them.

'So do you know if Allan is going to be there?' Emma asked casually.

Marian smirked at her friend. 'I think so. Everyone else is going to be there.'

She could of sworn that she saw Emma blush at the news. 'Marian can I be nosey and ask you something?' Emma smiled.

'Of course.'

'What happened between you and Robin?' Emma asked.

'What do you mean?' Marian asked confused.

'Well you have Aiden but your not together anymore.'

'Oh right. Well we were young. We were dating and head over heels in love as you are at that age.' Marian laughed remienising. 'Then I fell pregnant at eighteen, but things weren't working ou so we broke up when I was four months pregnant. But he was there through out the whole pregnancy and birth.' Marian smiled.

'So why did you guys break up?' Emma asked interested.

'Well erm..' Marian thought. She frowned when she realised that she couldn't think of any reason. There was not one specific reason she could think of. 'Erm...well...lots of things.' Marian shrugged the question off as the club came into view and she silently thanked god. Emma would now not be able to ask more questions. She couldn't believe she couldn't think of a reason why they had split up.

'Hey you two look nice.' Djaq smiled as they walked up to her.

'You look good to.' Marian smiled as she saw Djaq. She was wearing a black party dress that came down to her knee's with heels on.

'So the boys still not here?' Emma asked looking around for them, or well one impartiular.

'Nope not yet.' Djaq smirked looking at Marian who also smirked.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

Robin had met Will and John and they were now on their way to meet Allan and Much. Both Stephanie and himself walked ahead of Will and John. Robin rolled his eyes as Stephanie for the eighth time that night moaned about how the slight breeze was messing her hair up. Robin sighed in relief when he saw Much and Allan waiting for them. Allan jumped from the wall he was sitting on and rubbed his hands together.

'I am defo getting ma hands on Emma tonight.' Allan smirked.

'Allan you say that everytime. And everytime she knocks you down.' Much moaned.

'She wants me.' Allan winked.

Much simply sighed and shook his head and began walking with the others towards the club.

'What's taking them so long?' Emma whined as the cold air attacked her bare shoulder's.

'Who knows.' Marian sighed as she sat in the wall next to Emma swinging her legs back and forth.

'That was Will. They're just coming. Something about a girls highheel.' Djaq said walking over to them with her phone in hand and frowning.

'Highheel.' Emma repeated confused. 'Boy Allan's out done himself this time.'

Marian laughed and shook her head. It was obvious that Emma had a crush on Allan, and he had one on her. But they were both to proud and stubborn to admit it.

'Here they come.' Djaq smiled when the boys appeared around the corner.

'Who the hell is peroxide barbie!?' Emma exclaimed at the bright and highly under dressed character walking next to Robin. Marian nearly fell off the wall she wa sitting on for laughing so much.

'Shh. She could of heard you.' Djaq said trying not to laugh.

'No chance. She's bleached her hair so much that its cardboard against her ears.' Emma stated seriously.

'Hey girls.' Will said as he walked up to Djaq and put his arm around her. 'You lood good.' He smirked before kissing her.

Allan looked from Djaq and Will to Emma. 'Cute ain't they. Perhaps we should try that.' He smirked.

'Allan...I'm not drunk yet. And what took you so long. Your balls holding you down.' Emma said hoping off the wall and walking into the club with Marian following.

'So spill.' Emma shouted to Marian over the music.

'Spill what?' Marian shouted back.

'Malibu Barbie. Is that his girlfriend?'

'Yep.'

'What the hell does he see in her?' Emma asked squinting.

Marian simply shrugged as they pushed their way to an empty booth and sat down.

'She seems like a nice person.' Marian tried to stick up for Stephanie but Emma could tell that she wasn't saying what she really felt.

'The boys are getting us drinks.' Djaq said as she sat down opposite the girls in the booth and put her bag on the table.

'Djaq what do you think about her?' Emma asked turning to Djaq.

'Who?'

'The wannabe Britney Spears over there.' Emma said nodding her head towards the bar where Stephanie stood draped over Robin.

'To be honest I don't know her to well. But from appearance. She's seems... a lot of work.' Djaq smiled.

'Here's your drink babe.' Will said as he handed Djaq her glass.

'Here you go plum.' Allan smirked as he handed Emma over her drink.

'How many times have I told you not to call me that. Do I look like a fruit?' Emma scolded Allan.

'We'll parts of you resemble plumbs.' Allan smirked cheeking her out.

'Allan if this wasn't vodka then it would be over you.' Emma snapped.

'Is that one of your dreams.' Allan whispered leaning closer to her. 'To have me covered in vodka so you could lick it off.'

Emma huffed and practically downed her vodka.

'I don't like her.' Emma moaned as she watched Stephanie dance with Robin.

'You've been saying that all night.' Marian laughed.

'I am getting bad vibes about her.' Emma defended herself.

'Oh. Emma's vibes are back.' Djaq smiled taking a drink of her breezer.

'Yeah. Emma mind who was it. Lucy. You had bad vibes about her.' Marian stated.

'So.' Emma frowned.

'She was a christian that went to church every Sunday.' Djaq laughed.

'Exactly. She was too close to God for my likeing.'

'She worked with sick hospital children yet you and your vibes were sure she was some sort of alien.' Marian laughed.

Emma stuck her tongue out in the most mature way she could before going back to her drink.

The night carried on the same. Stephanie practically lay on Robin all night, letting everyone know that he belonged to her. Will and Djaq blushed and flirted with each other. Much ate crisps none stop, Allan was going to bury Emma in chat up lines and John left early.

'Emma want to dance?' Allan smirked already standing.

'Why not.' Emma rolled her eyes standing to her feet and walking onto the dance floor where Will and Djaq were.

'I'm just going to phone my dad to check on Aiden.' Marian said standing from the booth and walked out of the club.

'Look at them to.' Allan laughed as Emma turned to look at Will and Djaq who were slow dancing and kissing.

'Do you think that could be us later tonight?' Allan smirked.

'Keep your hands in your pocket cause their the only things that will be giving you any pleasure tonight.' Emma smirked patting Allan on the cheek playfuly and walking back over to the table.

'Hows Aiden?' Robin asked when Marian came back to the table.

'He's fine. He went to sleep at eight.' Marian smiled to him.

Stephanie frowned and turned Robin's head to face her and began kissing him. Marian looked on but then looked away uncomfortably.

'Oh give me a break.' Emma sighed looking at Robin and Stephanie as she downed another shot.

'Oh come on Em. Your defo scoring tonight.' Marian smirked nudging Emma.

'You think.' Emma smirked looking around for Allan. She frowned when she saw him standing talking to a blonde girl. He was giving her the smirk. The one that said I wanna take you home.

Emma got up and walked over to the duo. They didn't even see her coming. She felt jealousy curse through her as the blonde laughed and placed her hand on Allan chest.

'Hey Allan.' Emma smiled standing in front of the blonde girl.

'Excuse me chicken but we were in the middle of something.' The blonde smirked to Emma.

'Do I look like a chicken. And the only thing you were getting in the middle of was a fight.' Emma warned turning to the blonde.

'You trying to tell me something darlin' The blonde said raising her eyebrows.

'Back off my man.' Emma said smiling back to the blonde, but her voice was full of warning.

Allan smirked as he watched the two girls fight over him. The only thing that could make this better would be bikinii's and mud.

'Hunni. He's mine.' The blonde bit laughing.

'Look.' Emma said placing her bag on the bar. She was getting fed up with this slut. 'You have about ten seconds to clear outta here or else I am gonna take your fake peroxide extensions and wrap them around your neck.'

Allan raised his eyebrows in shock to Emma's threat. She really did have an animal side to her. He couldn't wait to see where it expanded to. The blonde looked Emma up and down before making some lame excuse and walking off.

'So i'm your man?' Allan asked smirking looking down at Emma.

'No your ma bitch. Now get your ass movin' Emma said pushing Allan towards the door.

'I've never felt so used before. I'm lovin it' Allan laughed all excited as he and Emma left the club.

Robin laughed placing his beer back down on the table as he watched Allan leave the club like a kid that had been told they were going to Disney Land. He looked across the table to Marian who was texting on her phone. She seemed so...bored. Usually when they went out and Stephanie wasn't there. She would be having loads of fun, but then again thats usually because it happened with him. He would dance with her, buy her drinks, laugh with her at the others. But tonight she had no one to do that with. He felt not sorry but regreful. In all honesty he hadn't wanted Stephanie to come she wasn't part of the gang and she stay with him like an unwanted beetroot stain. A blonde beetroot stain at that. He had missed Marian. He loved the time they spent together dancing and laughing when they went out. She had also acted very strange when he had dropped Aiden off. Distant somehow. But when ever they were alone that always seemed to happen to one of them. Old feeling came sneaking back. Memories of the past and questions of what if?

'Marian you want to dance?' Robin called across the table to her.

Marian shot her head up and looked at Robin in surprise then turned her gaze to Stephanie who didn't seem to be to happy with that idea by the glare she was giving Robin, who being a man didn't notice.

'No its OK.' Marian smiled deciding not to cause a stir.

'No chance your escaping you haven't danced with me yet and you always dance with me.'

Robin smiled standing and pulled Marian out of her seat and leading her to the dance floor. He walked as he held her hand behind him and placed it on his shouled. He turned to her as he finally reached the middle of the dance floor. Marian began to dance to All I ever wanted. She kept a safe distance not wanting to infuriate a watching Stepahnie. Robin had other ideas as he placed his hands on her waist and brought her closer to him.

'Robin.' Marian breathed as she placed one arm around his shoulder and neck. She could smell the lynx as she looked up to him. It was his favourite and Aiden had given it to him for his birthday.

'What.' Robin asked looking down into her eyes.

'Stephanie.'

'What about her.'

'She's watching.' Marian whispered feeling uncomfortable.

'Well she does have eyes.'

'Yes but she is your girlfriend.'

'She had been my girlfriend for not even two months. You have been my best friend for nineteen years.' Robin stated. 'You are also the mother of my son.'

'Which is why she probably doesn't trust me with you.' Marian explained.

'Marian. You will always come before Stephanie.' Robin whispered.

Marian sighed as she continued to dance. She would not win with Robin, she should know that by now.

Djaq smiled from the bar at the couple. Or well who in her eyes should be a couple. They were meant to be. But they themselves were to blind to see it. She laughed. They were the only two people on the enitre dance floor that were slow dancing to All I ever wanted, yet they did not seem to notice. Just like they didn't notice their love for one another.
