You guys are the best and the reason why I keep updating. I love the reviews :) Enjoy. Lets see what Lea decides to do.

I was straightening my brown tresses, making sure my hair was perfect for tonight. I stared in my mirror applying another coat of mascara followed by smearing my lips with my plum lipstick. I was dressed in my new grey dress, that I had bought from the store and I had decided on where I wanted to spend my Saturday night.

"Are you sure about this, sweetheart?" said Dad, walking in.

"I'm sure Dad" I said.

"You look beautiful, I'm sure any man would love to you as their date."

I smiled. "Thank you."

"How do I look?" he said spinning around.

"Very sexy."

He winked at me "I still got it.

"Of course."

There was knocking at the front door. We both looked at each other. "I'll get it."

I nodded and started packing my handbag.

Dad opened the door to meet my English date. "You must be Mr Barrett; I've heard about a lot about you, it's nice to finally meet you."

"Mr Levesque" said Wade putting his hand out "It's a pleasure."

"Call me Paul" said Dad shaking his hand.

"I'm not too early am I?"

"No, not at all, you know women always taking their time."

Wade chuckled. "They do indeed."

"Lea! Someone is here for you" he called.

I walked downstairs and there was Wade, he looked awfully handsome in his black suit, white shirt paired with black trousers and accented with a classic black tie. His gaze engaged on me, this bewildered expression on his face.

"Hello sir, I mean Wade" I said giggling.

"Hello Lea, ready to go."

I nodded to Wade, grabbing my coat. He headed outside after giving Dad a friendly nod.

"Have fun pumpkin" he said kissing my cheek.

"You too" I said closing the door behind me.

I turned around to see the limousine, outside my house. I looked at Wade, I was staggered. He just had a smirk on his face "it's nice to be riding with the boss."

...

The evening was taking place at one of the party hire cruise ships. There was alcohol and lots of seafood, everyone at work was there. Wade was busy talking to some of the other men who were there while I sat drinking some of the fancy cocktails they were serving at one of the tables when I was joined by Adele.

"How's the date with Phil going?"

"It's going great, I really like him and I'm having so much fun."

"I'm glad, I was watching you two dance, very cute." I gulped down the drink.

"Are you just going to keep drinking or are you going to dance with me?"

I grinned and I followed her to the dance floor, the music was booming with fast paced beats and Adele and I were going crazy with our dance moves, only the consummation of alcohol could be the cause. After about 20 minutes of boogying down, I decided to take a little break. The heels of my feet were crying out for help from my six inch stilettos, I went to the bar for a glass of water. The DJ slowed the music down and the setting changed, the lights went down and the fast beats turned into a slow rhythm. I watched Phil came from behind Adele, stealing a kiss before she wrapped her arms around his neck, as the gently swayed to the music. They were cute together.

"Would you like to dance?" the deep, English accent resonated in my ear.

I looked up at Wade, "you want to dance, with me?"

"Gladly" he said putting out his hand.

I grabbed on to it and he pulled me toward the dance floor. He put his other hand around my waist, as I put my free hand on his broad shoulder. I giggled.

"What?"

"Nothing... I just never thought I'd be dancing with you."

"We can stop?" he grunted.

"No, I'm just kidding." I shot a smile to him.

"By the way, if I hadn't told you... you look extremely beautiful this evening."

I could feel my cheeks blush. "You look very handsome yourself."

For a few minutes we simply swayed together silently. I looked around at all the other couples and people who were dancing, the evening had become magical. I hadn't felt this content in a while. I was with friends, I was dancing with a very nice man and I felt happy.

...

Wade and I were riding in the limousine, he was taking me home. "I'm glad I came, I had a lot of fun."

He beamed "it was good to see that smile on your face." I could feel myself blushing again.

"Your father seems like a fascinating man, I can tell you love him very much."

"It seems rather weird that I'm still living with him but he is the most important person to me, he's the only person I can truly call mine."

"That doesn't sound weird at all, Lea." He looked up at me, kindly. I smiled.

"He was dressed up rather nicely, did he have a date?"

"Actually he was going to Randy and Ivana's reception party, it was tonight" I sighed, looking out the window.

He decided to take her mind of that. "Anyway, since its Christmas I have a present for you."

"A present?" He handed me an envelope, it was decorated with a ribbon. I grinned at him.

"Open it!"

I unwrapped the ribbon and opened the envelope; it was a first class airline ticket to Miami. "A ticket to Miami."

"It was part of the deal" he smirked.

"Thank you! You really are the best boss in the world!" The limousine parked in front of my house.

"Lea... I should confess something."

"Yes"

"I was actually going to give you the ticket even if you didn't come tonight... I just wanted to see if you would have wanted to go to the party with me." His eyes looked affectionately into mine.

The banging on my side of the window interrupted us; I looked up to see Randy, who looked incensed. "What?" I said to myself opening the door.

"What are you doing here Randy? Shouldn't you be at your reception?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that as well?"

"Lea, are you alright?" asked Wade getting outside of the car.

"She doesn't need you, Mr British Big shot!" yelled Randy.

"Excuse me!" yelled Wade.

"Wade, thank you for everything, I'll be fine" I said smiling at him.

"Are you sure?" he said not taking his eyes off Randy.

"Positive" I said.

He nodded, getting back inside and his limousine drove off.

I turned back to look at Randy.

"What were you doing with Mr big shot?" he asked.

"Why does it matter to you?"

"I don't know, maybe because we're supposed to be best friends, well at least I thought you were my best friend."

I sighed "of course I'm your best friend."

He calmed down a bit. "Then why weren't you there at the reception Lea? It hurt me not to see you there; I mean I pretty much had that party so you could be a part of my wedding celebration, because I was thinking about how I couldn't get to spend the happiest day of my life with my best friend."

"I'm sorry" I shrugged my shoulders.

"You're sorry?" he said surprised.

"I am Randy, but I had made plans."

"I'm sure you could have cancelled them Lea" he said "anything would be considered insignificant compared to doing something for me, think of all the times I was there for you."Tears filled my eyes, as I listened to him.

"Randy..."

"What? Ever since I came back, you've been weird with me, it's like we're not like we used to be, what is it? Do you not like Ivana? Is it me? All I wanted you to do was be there for me at the reception, was it that hard?"

"YES IT WAS HARD!" I screamed, tears trembling down my face "how could it not be hard! Seeing you with her kills me every day. Every time you look at her, speak of her, be with her... I am shattering inside. Randy, I'm in love with you and I think I've been in love with you since I was 4 years old. You mean everything to me, you're my best friend in the whole world and I thought I was the only person, who could make you happy, but you can go around the world and meet the love of your life and she seems to make you happier than me. And now you're married and I've lost my chance at being happy so I'm sorry but being at your reception was something I just couldn't do and if that makes me selfish then I don't care."

"Lea?" Randy was stunned.

I sighed and walked inside my house, leaving the man I loved outside.
