Hello everyone. Here is Chapter 4
"Wow…you look beautiful." said a soft voice behind Gwen as she applied her make-up. Gwen smiled as she looked at Lance from the mirror. She had taken great care to dress today seeing as Lance was taking her to their favorite bar The Golden Dragon which was in the heart of London. She was wearing a red tight halter dress she had purchased specifically for this night. Lance loved her in red saying it looked good with her light brown skin tone and the halter exposed her shoulders and her back. "You look dashing yourself." said Gwen turning to fully look at him, the suit he was wearing showing his tall lean frame.
Lancelot was a very handsome man who most assumed was a model. His dark tan looks made him seem like the dark mysterious handsome stranger you often read in romance novels. "Let me." said Lance coming to her and turning her around gently. Gwen felt something cool touch her neck and she gasped when she looked down. She was wearing a beautiful gold necklace with a locket at the center. "Lance….this is beautiful..." "Consider it our engagement gift." Said Lance and Gwen couldn't even talk to express how she felt so she took him in her arms and kissed him passionately. By the time they came for air, Gwen's lipstick was now smeared on Lance. "Guess we both need a touch up." said Gwen laughing.
They arrived at the Golden dragon bar, Lance opened the door for he and led he in. The club was exclusive, so beautiful with an air of class but also comfortable and laid back. There was music, dance and nice relaxing music. They got in and as Lance led her to an empty table a little excluded. They sat there having a great time just talking and laughing. Gwen liked that too about Lancelot. He was comfortable and they never ran out of what to say to each other. Lance excused himself to go to the bathroom and Gwen sipped her drink just wondering about random things. She was just so happy. She had the career of her dreams, the most amazing fiancé and great friends. She had every reason to be happy. Nothing can go wrong now.
Arthur sat in his favorite bar drinking some wine just listening to music. Merlin had gone off with his girlfriend who happened to be his sister Morgana for some night out of dome sort. He had been so surprised when Merlin nervously expressed his interest on Morgana. The 2 couldn't have been more different. Morgana was rich, popular, flirty, loud and expressive while Merlin was a shy, quiet not so graceful super intelligent poor scholarship kid. Surprisingly Morgana agreed to a date claiming she had always thought Merlin was cute. That was 2d year of college and they were still going strong. Who knew Morgana could have and maintain a serious relationship?
He sighed as he thought of his own life. He was single and could see no one who caught his eye. He had sworn off Vivian. The morning after their hook up, he had laid it all out to her. There had been tears and shouting and he had been slapped twice (turns out Merlin was right that she was more serious than he was) but he knew it was for the best. He couldn't continue to string them along when he should be looking for that special someone. He had decided not to look for Gwen. what would he say to her anyway? Hi, I realized I have fallen for you so let's run away together? Yeah he was no mood to be slapped yet again thank you.
He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice which said, "Arthur?" Arthur turned and he stared in surprise. "Lance?" "Oh my God, Arthur, how are you my man?" said Lance the 2 greeting each other happily. "I can't believe I am seeing you now." said Arthur. In high school, he had 2 friends, Merlin and Lancelot. After high school, Lancelot had gone to university in France where his mother was and they had lost touch. "How long have you been back?" "Almost 2 years. I come in here most of the time. I can't believe we never met till now." "Me too. Merlin is going to be happy." "Merlin? You still in touch?" "Still best buddies. He is a doctor now." "He did it." said Lance with a grin. Merlin always wanted to be a doctor. "We should all meet and catch up. Hey, come over and meet my fiancé." said Lance signaling a table with a single woman sipping wine. She suddenly turned to them and he stopped breathing.
It was when she felt Lance had been gone too long that Gwen looked up and her heart nearly beat out of her chest. Lance was talking and laughing comfortably with him…Arthur! 'OMG I can't believe he is here! What is he doing here? And wait, he is talking to Lance. Does that mean they have met before/ No no… Please…Don't come here…of course you have to.' Gwen was frantic and when she looked up again her eyes met with the blue eyes that had been haunting her dreams. No Arthur. Not now. Not when I have put my life back on track! You can't just walk I any moment you like to disrupt it! They came to a stand at the table and Lane said, "Gwen meet Arthur Pendragon. We went to high school together and we were really close. Arthur, this is my fiancé Gwen." said Lancelot and Gwen and Arthur stared at each other.
