I stared at John staggered; I didn't know what to say. What had he heard? He walked toward me, his fists tightened and his face, heated. I just stood there staring at him, I was slightly fearful of what was about to happen.

"John... I..." I said before he stopped me by putting his hand over my mouth.

"Just answer me this Lea, is this the guy?" his voice was deep and angry.

"Um...um..." I stuttered.

"Was it him?"

I looked at his enraged face; I had never seen him angry before. I simply lowered my head and nodded.

"He was the guy you were in love with, the reason you came to Miami?"

I nodded again.

He stood crossing his arms in front of me. "I actually came out here to tell you that Adele wants you."

"Um... alright" I said.

"So you better go inside" he said letting me go.

I looked up at him, he still seemed heated but I wondered why he didn't hassle me about anything else.

I walked toward the house and looked back at him; he had his back turned as he just stood there in the front yard.

The house was still buzzing from all the guests; I found Drew and Adele standing near the front door. Adele had Drew's jacket draped around her. They smiled as they watched me approach them. "We're off" said Adele.

"Are you sure you guys aren't going to stay?" I said.

"Thanks but I'm pretty tired, after the first day. Wade must love this job" said Drew grinning as he glanced at Adele.

"I'm sure he's missing it" I said as I hugged them "thank you again for coming, it means a lot... to both of us."

"We're glad to be here, John is an absolute great guy" said Adele "you are really lucky."

"I am" I said as I placed my hand on my chest.

"He's a top bloke, was nice meeting him" said Drew.

I opened the front door for them and the couple walked outside, I could see John still standing out the front. I had never felt so awful, I thought I owed to tell him everything. But my thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of someone heaving; I followed it into the bathroom. It sounded like a woman; I knocked on the door and walked in. It was Ivana throwing up in the toilet. She was wearing this gorgeous pink tulle dress, luckily her long, golden hair was tied together in a braided ponytail so she didn't need anybody to hold up her hair. I sat next to her patting her back as she continued vomiting. I quickly dashed outside and grabbed a cup of water, bringing it back into the bathroom and handing it to her. She sat back against the wall and looked at me, she looked a bit groggy. I gave her a reassuring smile as she sipped on the cup of water.

"I guess the pregnancy has been making you sick."

She laughed. Her eyes were bloodshot. I looked over to the side and there was a bottle of Vodka half empty. I looked at her confused.

This regretful expression filled her face. "I'm not pregnant."

I looked at her surprised by her statement. "What?"

"I took a test and it said I was but then when I went to the doctor she said I wasn't" she explained, tears flowing down her face.

"Why didn't you tell Randy?" I asked.

"Because... he was so happy when I told him that I was pregnant, you should have seen him. I don't know what I've done but he's been so distant from me, but when I told him I was pregnant I felt like he loved me again."

I was angry at her for lying but I also felt sympathy for her.

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I just like to see him love and care for me again, I feel like I'm going to lose him" she said.

"But you can't go on with this forever" I said.

She nodded. "I will tell him the truth soon, I will."

"I hope you do. He's a good guy and he deserves the truth." I handed her a tissue and she cleaned her face up.

"Congratulations by the way, on your engagement to John" she said. "He's a very nice guy, I met him back home. Randy and he look to be good friends and you and Randy are best friends. Maybe you two would like to come over for dinner sometime?"

The idea of the four of us having dinner together didn't sound too appealing. I laughed uncomfortably "maybe."

...

Ivana stayed in the bathroom, brushing her teeth to rid the smell of alcohol that had empowered her breath. We had stayed inside for quite a while when I had come back into the lounge room a large number of guests had left and I found quantities of people still around or either passed out. John was placing a blanket over my Dad; it seemed he had passed on one of the couches. I stood there watching them. John looked at me, not knowing that I had been standing there. I smiled at him, hoping he would at least smile back. He nodded and walked toward me. His vast height created a shadow over me, as he stood closer. I had never been happier to be close to him. He pressed his lips to my forehead and walked away. Ivana emerged from the bathroom, walking to my side. "He loves you very much, you can just tell."

Randy rushed towards us; he looked concerned as he put his arms around Ivana. "Are you alright? I had been trying to look for you everywhere" he said.

She smiled. "I'm fine; I was just with Lea. Your best friend took great care of me."

Randy glanced at me then back to his wife. "I think it's time we should go home."

It hurt me watching him get so excited about Ivana being pregnant when she wasn't. He kneeled down stroking her stomach gently. She giggled as he tickled her. Randy stood back up and grabbed her hand and they walked out. I just watched them as Ivana turned around and waved.

I sat down on the couch wondering on what to do. John wasn't really responding to me and Randy was being a prick. Ivana was lying to Randy and I knew about it, should I tell him? Or was I to stay out of it.

Sorry guys that this chap is so short, I just got so much uni work piling up but I promise the next chapter will be super good.
