Chapter 8: You Just Have to See Her
Sarah lay curled up in her blankets not wanting to start the day. It was now noon and soon Tom and Jade would be touching down in London. Sarah was hopeful that she wouldn't have to attend the party even though she did plan the whole thing she wouldn't know anyone in attendance. Tonight would be just another night to herself and she was fine with that.
Rolling over in the warmth of her bed Sarah fought the urge to go to the bathroom for as long as she could but decided to go ahead and start the day. After taking care of business and a long hot shower, Sarah had made up her mind about not going to the party tonight regardless if she planned it she felt that there was no use going she would probably be standing alone all night anyway. Everything was already in check for the party she was sure there would be no problems at all
Sarah slipped on a pair of black shorts and a purple tank top and proceeded to lounge around on her couch. The comfort of her couch was just hard to resist and within in minutes she was back to sleep. That is until she heard someone knocking at her door. She groggily got up from the couch and made her way to the door.
Standing there in Chanel heels, and cream colored dress, and the biggest handbag ever was Jade. She looked rather refreshed and glowing. She must have had a sex filled week Sarah thought.
"Hi Sarah!" Jade said excitedly giving Sarah a hug "we're back!"
Sarah smiled "Yeah I can see that. Come in."
Jade walked in and turned toward Sarah quickly.
"I was just over at the hotel to check out the ballroom and it looks so beautiful! I can't believe you did it all in such little time!"
"I'm glad you like it." Sarah blushed
"I just thought I would come by and give you praise. I was talking to the hotel manager and he said everything is good to go for tonight. Is everyone on the guest list coming?"
"Yeah they all called in to RSVP so you guys will be all ready for the night. I've called and made arrangements for a limo to pick you both up, the manager of the hotel said he'll personally see to it that each guest is directed to the ballroom."
"Oh that is great!" She said clapping her hands together rather fast and walking to the door.
"Well I'm sure You, Tom and your guest will have a good time tonight. Let Tom know I'll see him on Monday." Sarah said as she opened the door for Jade.
"You're not coming tonight?"
Sarah turned back around to face her "uh no… why would I?"
"Don't be daft you're our friend too. So you have to be here to celebrate with us tonight. It'll be fun and I won't take no for an answer. Remember its semi-formal." she said as she walked out the door.
"Damn it." Sarah stomped her foot like a five year old and slammed the door. She retreated into the bedroom to begin the process of getting ready. She needed to look for a dress.
After stopping over at Sarah place, Jade made a quick detour to her best friends flat. They sat in her friends' lavish London apartment drinking tea and getting updated with each other lives. Jade didn't waste any time telling Veronica about her Romantic outing with Tom.
Oh Verde it was so beautiful! After we went sightseeing we went on a carriage ride and he surprised me with a picnic in the park. Then we lay underneath the stars and made love." Jade said with dreamy eyes.
"Is everything good between you two now? I know you said that he seemed a little different lately."
"Yes. He said it was just work and all the traveling getting to him and that he would try his hardest to make more time for us both."
"Don't you think that personal assistant of his should be making more time for you two. I mean isn't that what you both hired her for." She said with insinuation.
"True but it isn't her that makes him travel around the world doing meet and greets and interviews his publicist does that. Sarah just keeps him to his schedule, runs his errands, make his phone calls confirming when he'll be somewhere…she even helps him with things at his home and-"
Whoa!"Veronica put her hand up to stop Jade from talking."What! She's in that flat with him? Alone?
"Yeah well she comes and helps me sometimes." She said innocently
"You don't see how wrong that is do you? Aren't you afraid he'll fall in love with her?
"That's impossible. I trust him! I know he loves me and me only." she proclaimed "And besides they just work together I've hardly seen them talk to each."
"Jadey I would watch out for her. She is American after all she's probably as slutty as they come. You've watched Jersey Shore you know what America is all about! Sex!" she said with seriousness
"Veronica I think you've lost it" Jade laughed "I have nothing to worry about. She's so not his type anyway."
"There has to be something going on. Why else would he all of a sudden do romantic things to make you happy? He's never done things like with you before. I mean while all of sudden would he want to take control."
At this Jade was quiet, her smile fading away at the words of her friend. She had thought about that long and hard on the plane ride home. She wondered if he had something to be guilty about. The last two nights they were in New York Tom had taken control in the bed department that was the one thing she knew was definitely different, but it was good it was really good mind blowing sex. She wanted to believe he was making up for not being around her and that is what she would believe for now. She didn't know if she should believe what her gut feeling was telling her or what her mind told her to brush off.
Jade set her tea down on the table and stood up to leave.
"I need to be going now. I'll see you at the party tonight."
"Is she going to be there?"
Jade nodded her head.
"You're my best friend Jade I want you and Tom to work, no one will be good enough for him except you. As your best friend I'm going to keep an eye on her for you." Jade a kiss and hug to her faithful friend and turned on her heel to leave.
Tom woke up after having his "after flight nap" he was keen to these naps after long flights. He was glad to be back home after being gone for a week. He put on a t-shirt and basketball shorts to lounge around in for the rest of the night. He had one more day to think about his predicament and then Monday would be here.
Tom was just about to sit on his couch when a knock came at the door. He opened the door and there stood Jade in a silver sequin dress he recognized the dress as one of the many dresses he had purchased for her.
Why are you looking so lovely? He said grabbing her hand to pull her in. He twirled her around to give her a good look.
I thought you sense we were out of town for your birthday you would want to celebrate it tonight by having some dinner and then catch a show if you catch my drift." She said winking at him.
"Thanks Jade but I kind of just wanted to stay home tonight. We just got back. How about we stay here and we can catch the show."
"Please Tom I really want us to go out tonight. Your birthday shouldn't go uncelebrated; we always celebrate your birthday."
"We can celebrate it, but just here. I don't mind."
Jade looked to the floor and began to cry. He hated when she cried.
Through her tears she managed to get out "I thought you were trying to be a better boyfriend."
How could he deny her now? No matter how much he hated being out tonight he would do it for her.
Alright I'll go out to dinner with you.
She quickly looked up with her face free of tears and said" Good hurry up the limo will be here soon."
She sure knew how to use everything to her advantage he thought as he walked into the bathroom to shower.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror Sarah did a quick check to make sure her dress fit right on her. As soon as she left the hotel she went to shop for a dress to wear to the party. She picked out a cute purple cocktail dress w/ a sequined sweetheart neckline a purple ribbon tied around her waist into a pretty bow at the small of her back in front was a large floral accent although the skirt of the dress was solid it had different purples of lace, the wire edge made it flare out at the bottom almost like a tutu. With her hair down in curls, bangs swept to the side, and make up fixed to her liking she was ready to go.
She called a cab for what seemed like the millionth time that day. She was surprised she wasn't going broke with all the money she spent riding back and forth thru London. She grabbed her black cardigan to cover up with. No matter how confidant she was it didn't mean she was confidant with the way her body looked.
She checked her bag to see if she had everything she needed in case an emergency came up. Packed away at the top of her bag was a birthday present for Tom it wasn't much but it was the only thing she could think to give to him. At the sound of the cabs horn she hurried to slip on her satin black platform heels. Slipped on her cardigan and bag and went out the door in hopes that tonight wouldn't be a complete bust.
Once she had arrived at the venue she quickly checked in her purse at the front desk and made her way to the Crystal Ballroom. As Sarah entered the doors of the ballroom she couldn't believe how extravagant it looked. The structure of the ballroom was very elegant with four large dome chandeliers each with its own inset ceiling. There were large white lounge chairs in one corner of the room, a dance floor in front of the DJ table, and under one chandelier was the bar with tall tables and stools scattered around on the sides and going out into the patio. The round dinner tables were covered in silver table cloths the centerpieces held floating tea light candles in a bowl. Bunches of white balloons were placed all around the ballroom, the blue lighting made the white curtains hanging around the stone pillars glow ice blue, the room was dark but not too dark. It looked very much like she had envisioned it to be. Everyone that had arrived was dressed in there best. The DJ was already gracing everyone's ears with a good beat. Drinks were being served at the bar and plenty people were dancing. Things looked to be in good order.
Before she could walk further into the ballroom she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. It was a text from Jade letting her know that they would be at the hotel in a few minutes and that she wanted everyone to greet Tom with a surprise happy birthday when they entered the door. Sarah made her way over to the DJ table happy to have found that the hotel manager was standing right by the small stage. Just as she came up to him her phone vibrated again with another text. Jade and Tom were at the hotel.
Sarah quickly told the manager to make the announcement. He went up on the stage asking the DJ to cut the music before taking the microphone in his hand.
"I would like to make the announcement that the guest of honor is in the building at this very moment and would like to ask that you please quiet down so we can greet him with a surprise Happy Birthday. We're going to turn out the lights and as soon as those doors open and he walks in you say Happy Birthday!"
As soon as he said this the lights went out and total silence took over the room.
Jade took Tom by the hand and dragged him out of the limo.
"Will you at least smile" she said. "It is your birthday you would think you could be a bit more cheerful."
"Yeah it's my birthday and we're at some hotel. Why couldn't we just stay home?" He whined.
Jade was surprised he wasn't rolling around on the floor crying. "There's a new restaurant here that I thought you might like. Now come on, maybe when dinner is done we can get a room and celebrate alone." She said with a wink.
With that offer he would give in. Tom and Jade checked in their coats and walked over to a pair of double wide doors. A member of the hotel staff greeted them at the door and asked if they had reservations.
"Yes under Jade Gordon."
"Oh yes please let me see you inside."
They entered the ballroom and before Tom could ask why the lights were out. The lights turned on.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" emitted from the crowd before him. He was speechless.
He turned to Jade and kissed her lips. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"I love you. Thank You." He turned to the crowd of partygoers and said "Thank You very much. Im actually quit speechless at the moment. Please everyone enjoy your selves."
With that some resumed the party, while others went up to wish Tom Happy Birthday. Through the crowd of people he searched for her. He was sure she would have to be here. As his eyes scanned through the crowd, unaware of anyone who was greeting him he spotted her. She was sitting on the stage behind a loud speaker. He was just about to excuse himself from the crowd to go talk to her when Jade quickly whisked him away towards the bar.
It was probably for the best he thought. He would converse with her when he had time. Tonight he would forget anything that happened and enjoy being with his friends.
An hour later, Tom walked around the room personally greeting everyone he met while he tried looking for Sarah. He didn't understand why he was eager to see her. You would think after his week away from her he would feel different about her but those things didn't go away in a week. He would approach her as a friend and deal with his inner thoughts day by day. That's all she was a friend.
Tom broke from his reverie as the music cut and he heard tapping sounds over the microphone. Jade was standing on the stage she spotted him and waved him over to join her.
Once he got on the stage he spotted Sarah by chance she was standing in the middle of everyone with a drink in hand she looked to him and gave a warm smile as she turned her attention to Jade.
"Good Evening everyone. I would just like to thank you all for being here tonight…"She held her drink in hand but was slightly swaying "I would like to thank all who had helped make this party happen in such a short time. " Jade took a sip of her drink. "Without the help of the hotel staff, the caterers, and all of you for being here I would have never been able to plan such a huge party in such a very short time. Right now we would like to do the cake so everyone please, everyone join me in singing Tom happy birthday"
Tom turned his attention from Jade to Sarah as he saw a swish of movement come from is peripheral vision. Sarah had downed all of the drink; she had the most livid look on her face. Jade came and grabbed his arm and walked him off the stage before he knew it he was standing in front of a three tier birthday cake with sparklers lit and a huge number 24 on the top. Everyone around him gathered around and sang him a happy birthday tune. All the while he couldn't understand why Sarah had gotten so upset.
Sarah sat in the farthest corner of the room watching everyone enjoy the party that she had planned in ONE WEEK! She felt like a child sitting there sulking she couldn't let that little slip up bother her. After she had downed her first drink she decided she didn't want to spend the night drinking away her anger so she decided on nursing a cherry coke and eating a few finger foods the waiters were walking around with.
The party wasn't so bad even though she hadn't spoken to anyone yet but merely smiled at passing party goers. Who knew brits could party she thought as she watched a crowd of people getting rowdy on the dance floor. They were taking freak dancing to a whole different level. She shook her head and laughed at some of the ridiculous moves.
As much as she dreaded coming to the party she was having a very good time. When she had been walking around earlier she heard a couple of guest talking about how beautiful the décor of the party was. She wouldn't lie she loved being praised for her work even if someone else did take credit for it.
As Sarah lingered in the shadows she thought all eyes were void of her. Two sets of eyes were looming over her watching her every move from opposite sides of the room. It was only one set she had become aware of. A tall man stood not too far from her vaguely talking to his company before him. He wore a nice black dress shirt and black dark grey slacks. He was very tall with a small growth of hair around his face. He had very handsome features. Sarah watched as the man said something the man standing before him shook his hand and walk straight in her direction.
She didn't recognize him at first but as he got closer she immediately had a small panic. Who knew Neville Longbottom would turn into such a hottie? Sarah looked up to him and gave a little smile. He sat in the stool across from her at the high table.
"I don't think we've met before" he affirmed.
"I don't think we have. I'm Sarah" she said extending her hand for a shake.
"I'm Matt Lewis" he took her hand in his and gave the back of her hand a small peck.
Sarah felt a slight flutter at the pit of her stomach at the pressure of his lips on her hand.
"Is that an American accent I hear?
"Yeah I believe so." She said taking a sip of her soda.
"You know I've been watching you all night."
"Oh you have, have you?" she said crossing her leg over her knee as she turned to fully face him.
"Yeah and I can't understand how a beautiful woman as yourself doesn't have a bloke to court her.
"Is that so?" she said placing the palm of her hand under her chin arching her eyebrow. "And you think you're the perfect bloke to fill in that position."
He laughed "Well I thought I would give it a shot."
Sarah couldn't help but laugh at his forwardness. She'd have to give it to him for having the balls to come up to her; she admired his act of veracity even if he was staring right at her chest.
"Eyes up here buddy."
"Sorry I thought I saw something right there" he said swiping his finger over the mound of her left breast. "but it's gone now." He finished taking a sip of his cocktail.
"You know seeing as how I just met you and I don't want to cause a scene in front of your mates. I'm gonna let that little gesture slide. Just so you know the next time you touch me like that I'm gonna split your dick in half." Sarah hopped off the stool, and headed out to the terrace and down to the gardens. Letting out a huff of air she sat down on the stairs wrapping her cardigan around her chest.
She sat admiring the gardens, beautiful large bushes ran down both sides of the stairs with small sprouting flowers, a water fountain stood at the center, the water spewing from it changed color with the lights. Many flowers were spread throughout the landscape. Gazing at the view before her she heard footsteps coming down the stairs towards her. Great!
As the footsteps got closer she said "what does this asshole want?" loud enough so she could be heard by her intruder.
"I don't think the birthday boy should be called an asshole on his birthday"
Sarah smiled to herself as the person behind her came and sat right next her.
Tom had seen the whole exchange between Matt and Sarah. He didn't know if he should go after her or beat the crap out of his long time friend. The latter he seemed to favor. He had never felt so much jealously for anyone as he watched Sarah talk with him but he had never felt so much relief when she got up and walked away from the table. From the way Matt looked it seemed she had taken care of the situation herself.
He followed her out to the gardens but stopped at the foot of the stairs before turning towards the ballroom doors and then turning back as she sat down on the step. He felt the moment he said a word to her everything he had taught himself to believe would be out the window and he would be back to square one. What could he do? He would see her on Monday and have to talk to her then so what was the point in waiting.
He took the steps that would lead him to the point of no return. As he got closer he heard her sigh and say "What does this asshole want?"
She must have thought he was Matt this caused him to smile wide at thought she found his friend repulsive.
"I don't think the birthday boy should be called an asshole on his birthday." He said as he came to sit beside her.
"I thought you were someone else." She said all harshness from her voice gone as she smiled at him. That single smile melting all the guards he had put up just to talk to her.
"And who might that someone else be?" He asked inquiring to hear about their conversation.
"The same someone one who just confirmed he was like every other guy in the world."
"What's every other guy?"
"You know the one's with luring smiles and wandering hands. An asshole jerk face." She said. With a sly smile on her face she continued "Happy Birthday by the way."
He snickered at her analogy "What's the guy between the asshole and the jerk face?"
"Oh the guy in between is compassionate, sophisticated, suave, charming. Someone whose not completely into himself…who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to get it." He saw the dreamy state she was in and how her face fell at the reality of finding such a guy. It took every strength in him to not tell her that he could be that person for her. He would be anything she wanted him to be but his voice of reasoning interrupted those thoughts reminding him he was besotted to another.
She looked out to the garden and said "so exactly how many people at this party do you know?"
"I would say about five percent." He laughed."Most of the people here are friends of Jade. She always likes a good party." He paused then said "Thank you by the way for planning it on such short notice." He knew Jade hadn't done everything she was a terrible planner.
Sarah gave him a playful push on his arm. "How did you know?"
"Well Jade can't plan a party to save her life. And I noticed the sparklers on the cake." Tom remembered a conversation they had while discussing birthday traditions it was one of their random conversations they were prone to have. He had told her it was his family's tradition to have sparklers on the cake instead of candles and as the sparklers went out like falling stars he would then make his wish.
"Did you make your wish?"
"No Jade burnt them out so they could cut the cake and continue with the party." He was annoyed at the fact that when Jade was around her friends she turned into someone else she always rushed everything so she could continue to party and even at the expense of his supposed birthday party.
"That sucks." Sarah leaned back on the palms of her hands and looked at the stars above them. Tom looked over to Sarah the glow of the moon was cascading down on her features bathing her in an angelic glow. She was absolutely beautiful. His eyes traveled from her face to her legs. He looked up at the sky in fear of being caught gawking at her.
She sat up and looked at him with the widest smile on her face. "I know what we could do!"
He motioned her to go on.
"We could do my family tradition so that way you can make your wish."
"I'm intrigued. You never told me what that was" She never really said anything about herself come to think of it.
"It's not really anything great but at the end of the party whoever's birthday it was would grab an amount of balloons of they age they had turned that year and go outside and make a wish and release them." She threw her hands in the air to signify the release of the balloons. He had never seen her so happy to do something so simple. "It's dumb isn't it?" she said with slight embarrassment her hands still in the air
"No. It's not I would love to do that with you." As he said this he grabbed both her hands and pulled them down his thumbs rubbing at the fronts of her hands; an innocent gesture he told himself. The sound of clapping heels on pavement approaching caused them both to turn towards the sound behind them. He quickly but reluctantly let Sarah's hand go.
Tom got to his feet and offered his hand out to Sarah to help her stand. When Sarah turned around she was facing a woman she hadn't seen before. She was blonde,tall and slender, with enough make up on to pass as a clown, her cheeks were awfully bronzed, and her eyeliner was extremely thick. She wore a mini dress that barely covered half her thighs and thin hooker heels. Sarah didn't know the woman standing before her, but knew on sight that she didn't like her. But she put on her best fake smile as she assumed the other woman was doing as well.
"Tom I think you need to take Jade home she's pretty drunk." The woman said not even looking at Tom but staring Sarah up and down as she talked or more like slurred her words.
Tom ignored her command and introduced the two women to each other.
"Sarah this is Jades best friend Veronica. Veronica this is Sarah."
Sarah waved at the other woman and said "Hi nice to meet you"
Veronica took a sip of the drink she had in hand and in a rude manner said "oh you must be the assistant?"
In an instant Sarah's eyes turned ice cold but her smile didn't falter. Tom saw this and to prevent any further comments he spoke.
"Where's Jade?"
"She was about to pass out so I set her down at some table." She said waving her hand toward the ballroom.
Tom looked panicked "You just left her there."
"I'm sorry but I thought you should be the one to take her home."
Sarah looked at Tom with understanding eyes "Go ahead and go I'll take care of everything."
"Are you sure?"
She nodded her head "Its fine. It's like 2 in the morning anyway so everyone's probably getting ready to leave."
"I'll let everyone know we're leaving, Thanks again." he said as he moved past Veronica and made his way back into the ballroom. Now it was just her and Veronica. Sarah's face was completely expressionless as she stared down her opponent.
"Can I help you with something?"
"No but there is something I can help you with."Veronica said coming down a few steps to come face to face with Sarah. She took hold of Sarah's chin bringing her eyes up to lock gazes. Sarah could smell the foul alcohol on the other woman's breath. "A warning" She continued. "Don't get too comfortable around Tom. He loves her and her only. If anything comes between them I'm going to assume that you're the reason.
Sarah pulled away from the girls hand and with one push knocked the girl down to the floor. The girl lay splayed on the floor as the contents from her glass spilled all over her dress. Sarah put a hand to her mouth and in a sarcastic tone said "oh, you should really learn to walk in those" she pointed at the girls heels. "You don't want to go around "assuming" you know how to walk in them. You might just end up falling on your ass."As the girl attempted to stand Sarah again pushed the girl down.
While cursing at Sarah, Veronica tried to get up from the floor while holding the empty glass in one hand, and trying to hold down her skimpy dress with the other, falling down at every attempt. Sarah descended up the stairs laughing all the way up. Knowing she couldn't just leave the girl there she told the first person she saw that there was girl who needed assistance getting home.
By the time she had made it into the ball room there were only a few stragglers. The DJ had lowered down the music and announced the last dance of the night. Within a half an hour everyone had left the ballroom. Being as late as it was Sarah didn't feel tired at all so she stayed and helped clean up. She helped the hotel staff stack chairs, gather wine glasses, and strip down the tables, as well as folding them and stacking them against the wall.
Sarah sat down at the last empty table to be put away and threw her heels off. The pressure coming off her aching feet felt like heaven. Sarah took out her phone from her usual spot in her bra and looked at the time. It was now 4 in the morning. As she swung her legs back and forth sitting on the table she saw Tom enter the room.
"I went to your place but you weren't there." He said.
He was still wearing the same clothes so she knew that he hadn't gotten any sleep yet. He looked just awake as she did. She could feel her insides heat up at the sight of him.
"I wasn't tired so I stayed to help clean up."
Across the room a man about 6 ft tall and jet black hair and various tattoos called out to her "Have a good night Sarah!"
"Thanks! Have a goodnight Charlie!" Tom gave her an odd look. "What?" She shrugged. "He's the DJ. We struck up a conversation while he was helping me stack chairs."
"He looks like a jerk face." He said under his breath but she heard him and smiled.
"Is Jade okay?" she asked sincerely
"Yeah she just had a little too much to drink"
"Well everything's okay here." She jumped off the table and began tip it over. Tom motioned to her to step aside so that he could put the table away for her. "You didn't have to come back. I told you I would take care of everything."
"Well I thought we could do the balloon release." He said nervously.
Sarah heart stopped beating for a moment at the thought of him coming all this way, at this hour to do some silly balloon release. It was very endearing of him. She didn't know what else to think of it.
After Tom had left the party with Jade he couldn't help but be a little miffed. Even though Jade had needed him at the moment he still wanted to be with at the party with Sarah. He was right the moment they were to talk again everything went out the window. The feelings he had for her came full force.
He had paced his living room floor for a good hour before he decided on seeing Sarah again. He went to her flat to see if she was there but when she wasn't he could only think she would be back at the resort and too his luck she was. Sitting on top of a table swinging her legs back and forth her hair wasn't down as it was earlier but it was in a nice messy bun. She was gorgeous. Immediately he thought about the woman who was currently asleep in his bed unaware that her love was nowhere near her. Sarah still had yet to notice his presence he could leave and she would never know he was there.
Too late. As soon as he made for the door she looked up and saw him. He took it as fate. He was supposed to be here with her.
So now here they were standing in the gardens looking to the stars. Tom held twenty four balloons in his hand he looked at Sarah waiting for further instructions.
"Well there's actually nothing else to it. You just make a wish and let them go" she said looking at him. "I told you it was lame.
Tom took a step closer and with his free hand grabbed Sarah's wrist and brought up her open hand to grasp around the extra length of string just above his hand. Electric waves passed through their bodies at the surprised contact. "Let's make a wish together."
"o-oh okay" she was still recovering from that wave. She held the string loosely in her hand. "On three?"
Tom nodded and together they counted "one, two, three!"
They watched the big white balloons sail into the early morning sky. Tom and Sarah looked at each other with an arched brow and sly smiles both wanting to know what the other wished for.
Sensing the other unvoiced question they said in unison "I'm not telling!" and laughed.
Once the laughter had settled Sarah looked at her phone to look at the time. It was already 5 in the morning. She showed Tom and both let out a sigh. He didn't want their moment to end. As he followed Sarah up the stairs a thought came to his mind.
"Hey Sarah?"
"Yeah?" she said turning around to face him stopping at the top step.
"Do you maybe want to get some breakfast? I know a place that's open early?" he hoped she wasn't too tired.
"Sure."
They walked out of the ballroom and headed toward the lobby. Sarah went to grab her bag while Tom got the car. He didn't know what he was doing by asking her to breakfast. Well he did but he didn't want to acknowledge it the way it was. He saw it as two friends grabbing a bite to eat. Nothing more.
A/N: Long Chapter I know! I hope it was good! Well thanks for reading and I will see you next Tuesday! Read and Review!
