Here comes chapter 5

Will Nick's charm help him here?

Nick stood frozen on the spot, all eyes were on him "evening ladies" he said with a smile "what can I do for you?"

"You really are something else" yelled Zoe stepping forward "after today I thought we were .."

"You thought we were what Zoe?" interrupted Nick cutting her off "what did any of you think you were?" he continued scanning the angry faces before him and pulling his hand away from Ellie who was now giving him the evil eye.

"Just cant keep it in your pants can you" shouted Karen.

Nick took a step back assessing the situation "um well" he started before being cut off again this time by Jac "I thought you had changed" she sobbed, there it was an emotion Nick couldn't deal with, angry women he was fine with, but sobbing women he just couldn't do it.

"Girls please"

"Don't even bother Jordan" screamed Zoe running at him, hitting him continuously, he managed to hold her arms in place and shove her away.

"What's going on?" Came Charlie's voice.

Nick took in a sharp breath "oh and here comes Saint Charlie" he muttered flashing a 'stay out of this' look in his direction

"This 'stud' has been rushing round getting his willy wet all day" snapped Zoe, Charlie had to turn away to hide his laughter.

"Look I don't know what all this is about" he said "but im sure we have all had to much to drink and"

"Oh bugger off Charlie" butted in Nick shaking his head and turning to walk away.

"Don't even think about it Jordan" screamed Karen charging into his back sending him crashing to the pebbly ground, Karen landed on top of him just in time for her boyfriend to see her in all her glory "what the hells going on?" he questioned his voice full of anger "you know what Karen forget it" he yelled before walking off.

Karen called after him and slapped Nick hard around the face "well done Nick" she cried rushing after her man who was now half way out the car park.

Nick rubbed his throbbing cheek "one down three to go" he muttered.

"What did you just say" snapped Ellie slapping his other cheek "there you have one to match now, you disgust me" she said through clenched teeth before walking away.

Nick caught a glimpse of Charlie shaking his head and disappearing back into the hotel out of sight, he's probably gone to have a good gossip with Tess he thought.

This left Zoe and Jac who stood before him with their arms folded, he tried giving them the puppy dog eyes "your pathetic Nick" said Jac "and you think that sitting there looking pathetic is going to make us forgive you" she continued.

"Who said I wanted forgiving?" he muttered trying to look sorry for himself.

"Your like a black widow spider" stated Jac before pulling out her mobile phone and calling herself a taxi.

Zoe walked over to Nick who was still on the ground, she sat down beside him, she didn't know why but she felt sorry for him.

"Fancy a drink?" he asked winking at her.

She shot him a look of disbelief "Nick I wouldn't have a drink with you if you were the last man on the planet!"

He narrowed his eyes "look Zoe I don't know what them women have told you but you do know they are all my ex's, they would say anything to make me look stupid"

He announced.

Zoe was the last women standing or sitting in this case, he was sure he could talk her round, after all after tonight he would have no reason to see or hear from Karen, Jac or Ellie.

If he could charm Zoe into believing that these women were all liars just out to make his life a misery he might actually leave the party one woman up.

"Who was that women you were with?" questioned Zoe "the one you were holding hands with"

"Oh that was Ellie, I was holding her hand because she was drunk" stuttered Nick, in his head he knew this was the most transparent bullshit he'd ever dished out to anyone, but looking into Zoe's eyes she seemed to be believing it.

"Jac and Karen said they … they um" Zoe began to cry.

Nick let out a sigh putting his arm around her "Zoe whatever they said it's not entirely true" he assured her.

She turned her head to face him, her sadness turned to anger "what do you mean not entirely true Nick" she snapped shoving his arm away.

He was taken aback by her sudden change of mood "um Zoe i."

"Don't even bother you vile little man" Zoe wailed forcing herself to her feet "you know you make me sick! You and your …. Your suits! Your rotten stinking suits and your silly little bowtie!" she said with angry tears steaming down her cheeks.

"What's wrong with my bowtie?" he questioned looking puzzled, Zoe folded her arms and turned away.

He let out groan as he climbed to his feet, he walked over to Zoe and put his hand on her shoulder "Zoe im sorry" he whispered.

She swung round and belted him square in the nose causing blood to splatter all over her clothes; Nick fell to the ground landing hard.

Looking up at her he could tell how much he'd hurt her today maybe she really did love him.

Everything she had done in the past didn't seem to matter now, no matter how angry he tried to make himself feel over it all.

He watched her in a daze walking off back into the hotel, blinded by his own tears he Lay back so he was flat on the ground.

Looking up at the stars the events of the day circled his mind, he felt like he was falling and couldn't get up, the sky was a million miles away.

He wanted the clouds to open and take him away, or the ground to open and pull him down to the deep dark depths of hell below, it was no more than he deserved right now.

Just then his thoughts were interrupted by a very drunk Adam stumbling out of the hotel entrance singing a very unmusical version of 'angels' sitting up Nick narrowed his eyes "Adam" he called out "you alright?"

Adam glanced in his direction trying to work out who the man with the seemingly perforated nose and blood stained shirt was, after a few moments he shot Nick a smile "Nicky!" he wailed running over as if Nick was a Christmas tree with presents scattered around him.

"What happened to you?" he asked in a cheerful tone plonking himself down beside his friend then producing a bottle of whisky from him inside pocket "want some?" he questioned removing the lid.

Nick smiled and took the bottle taking a good few mouthfuls "cheers" he said smiling, starting to feel better.

He began to tell Adam about his eventful day, after half an hour or so Adam was sat shaking his head in shock.

"Well Nick if you want me to feel sorry for you I can't, but jealousy I can do" he said laughing.

Nick felt a lot better for hearing that, he looked at Adam for a few moments, he'd not realised how similar him and Adam were before, a strange feeling came over him.

"Adam" he whispered moving his head towards him.

"What Nick" he replied after taking a swig from the whisky bottle.

"Iv always admired you" said Nick placing his hand on Adams cheek.

Adam gave him a funny look that soon changed to a smile "iv always admired you to" he whispered.

They both leaned in at the same time tilting their heads, passionately kissing each other…

Well what was that eh!

Ohhh Nicks getting greedy now is he not people?
