***9 months later***
I was about to go with Maryse to the cinema when my house phone started to ring.
'-I'll be back in one sec.' I said to Maryse.
'-Take your time.' She said .
I picked up the phone and said:
'-Hello, this is Leigh Filan what can I do for you?'
'-Hi Leigh. It's Joanne.'
'-Oh my God. Joanne, How are you?'
'-I'm ok, well I'm pregnant.' she said giggling with excitement.
'-That's amazing. How far along?'
'-About 5 weeks. What have you been doing lately?'
'-Working, working and ummm working.' I said and she started to laugh.
'-Well don't blame you. Men are pigs.'
'-Yeah.' I said thinking at Justin.
'-Well give me a call tomorrow now I gotta take off.'
'-Sure thing. I'm about to go to a movie with Maryse and after that we're planning on getting drunk.'
'-Sounds like fun. Talk to you tomorrow, right?'
'-Yeah. Take care.' I said and hanged up.
I went outside and saw Maryse waiting me in the car.
'-Sorry. It was Joanne, she's pregnant and I'm the godmother apparently.' I said.
'-Awww that's cool. What do you wanna watch?'
'-A comedy. I need a good laugh.' I said smiling.
We went and saw "Johnny English-The Return" .It was hilarious.
'-My cheeks are sore.' Maryse said.
'-Wanna cancel the "getting drunk" part of the evening?'
'-Hell no. Let's go to "Jack The Reaper".
'-Nice name.' I said laughing.
'-Ohh shhhssstt. It's the best place in New York.'
'-Ok. I believe you.'
We went to the bar that Maryse suggested and in 2 hours we were hammered. So hammered that we couldn't even remember our names. Luckily the owner was Miz's friend and he called him to get Maryse and me out of the bar because we were planning on having a strip competition.
'-.' Maryse slurred.
'-Let's go home babe.' Mike said.
'-No. I wanna stay with Leigh.' she said pulling me into a huge hug.
'-I can't breathe.' I said chocking.
'-Come on babe. You're gonna kill Leigh.' Mike tried to get Maryse off me. I wasn't in a better state but at least I wasn't acting out.
Stu drove Mike to the bar because he knew that when Maryse is getting drunk he needs someone to come with him. And when Stu saw that Mike isn't coming back to the car, he went into the bar and saw Maryse on top of me and me looking like I was about to have a stroke.
'-Maryse let Jess to come with me and you'll see her tomorrow.' Stu pleaded.
'-Why would she go with you when she doesn't like you?' Maryse asked and Mike was pretty much fed up with her behavior.
'-Go home Mar, I'll see you tomorrow.' I said.
'-Ok but if he kills you?' Maryse asked and we started to laugh.
'-I highly doubt that's gonna happen.' I said trying to get up but being so drunk I was about to fall luckily Stu took me into his arms right before touching the ground.
'-I love you Leigh.' Maryse yelled and the bar went quiet. Stu and Mike started to laugh I just turned all red.
***At my apartment***
'-Here we go.' Stu said placing me on the bed and I acted like I was asleep, I really didn't want to deal with him right now.
He took a sit onto the chair that was placed next to the bed and I could tell that he was looking at me.
'-You'll never know how sorry I am for hurting you, I'll never forgive myself for what I've done to you and I can see that you're better off without me. It hurts because I love you so much but you don't need someone like me.' Stu said and tears started to fall into my eyes.
I couldn't understand why he thinks that I'm better off without him. He said that he loves me, funny way of showing that. I closed my eyes and 1 minute later I was asleep.
***Next morning***
I've woke up at around 11 and I sensed a smell of bacon and eggs. I went to the bathroom and then followed the smell.
'-Good Morning.' Stu greeted me smiling.
'-What's so good about it?'
'-Hangover?' he asked.
'-Major. I'll never ever go out with Frenchie. I have bruises on my back, did she tried to kill me?'
'-You don't remember?'
'-No. I have no idea what happened and how come that you're here.'
He started to tell me what happened the previous night and when he finished my cheeks were sore from so much laughter.
'-So she yelled: "I love you" in the bar?' I asked incredulously.
'-Yes and the bar went silent.' Stu said chuckling. I took my phone from the counter and texted Maryse:
"I love you too Frenchie"
I smirked and looked at Stu then said:
'-Thank you for last night.'
'-Anytime.' He said and my cell started to ring. It was a text from Maryse.
"What?"
"Ask Mike" I texted back and told Stu what she replied. He just shook his head.
"Are you dead or you just turned all read and speechless." I texted Maryse.
"Both. Can we have lunch at 1:30?"
"Only if you promise to behave."
"I always behave. Then it's a date."
"Frenchie I'm not going on a date with you. LOL."
"Very funny. You know what I mean. Did Stuart behaved?"
"Yes. I'll tell you more over lunch. Take care bitch."
"You too whore."
'-Apparently I have a date for lunch.' I said taking a bite from my breakfast.
'-You girls are gonna make Mike go crazy.' My face just lighten up.
'-I just gave you an idea didn't I?.' he added shaking his head.
'-Maybe. Now how are doing our Dumb and Dumber?'
'-Pardon me...'
'-Oh sorry I mean Kelly and Justin.' I said
'-Ohhh, I don't know. They are both in Smackdown now so I really don't know. I saw them at the last pay-per view but I didn't payed to much attention.'
'-I see... Well the hell is waiting for them anyway so I don't really care I was just curious to see if their "relationship" is still working.' I said and Stu started to laugh.
'-I wouldn't call shagging a relationship.' Stu said and it was my turn to laugh.
'-It's good to see you laughing.' he added.
'-Don't you think you're off the hook, Mister.'
'-I wasn't. I was just stating my thoughts exactly.'
'-I don't know why but I actually believe you this time.' I said and Stu chuckled.
'-Must be my charm.' he said.
'-Don't get cocky with me Bennett, it's not working.' I said and he started to laugh.
'-Working what?'
'-Don't act like you don't know. You used to get cocky around every girl and they would just fall at your feet.'
'-You're not every girl.' he stated and looked into my eyes. I knew I shouldn't look into his eyes because my feet won't listen to me after that but I just couldn't help it.
He leaned closer and inches were keeping us apart. I leaned even closer and kissed him, the moment my lips touched his a wave of shock went through my body. He deepened the kiss and I pulled him closer to my body. We kept kissing for a couple of minutes but our cells started to ring at the same time and we both groaned before taking the calls. After we finished the conversations we kept staring at each other and an awkward silence was filling the room.
'-So...' he started but I cut him off.
'-This shouldn't have happened. I mean we both just ended some nasty relationships and I think this is way too soon. Well at least for me.'
'-You're right. So friends from now on?'
'-With one condition. Don't you ever do to me what you've done in high school.' I said chuckling.
'-Deal. I'll let you get ready for your date' he said and I started to laugh.
'-Ok. I'll tell you how it went later.'
'-Definitely. Take care doll.'
'-You too.' I said and he left.
I started to get ready for lunch when I've remembered that I have to call Joanne.
'-Hi Joanne.'
'-Hello. How was your night?' she asked.
I started to tell her about my night but I didn't told her that Stu and I kissed.
'-You two are insane.' She said.
'-I know. We meet up for lunch to discus.'
'-I bet. Now I wanted to ask you something.'
'-What is it?'
'-I want you to be the godmother of the baby.'
'-Wow. Are you sure about this? I mean you know that I'm pretty crazy, right?' I said and she started to laugh.
'-Yes I'm sure and you're not crazy, you're just reverting to a child sometimes.'
'-Ok then I guess the little one has a godmother.' I said smiling.
'-When you can come to London?'
'-I'll be there next weekend. I need to sort some things and to visit my parents grave in Preston.'
'-Ok then I'll see ya next week. But till then you have to call me to tell me about your date.' she said laughing.
'-Speaking of my date I need to get ready. Take care hon.'
'-You too.' She said and I hanged up. I went to get ready for lunch. It was already almost 1.
