"He will, Lea" said Natalya as she showed me a grin, "Trust me, he'll arrive like a hero and come by later."

I really didn't think he was going to, "...Hopefully." I could see that Natalya was itching to go back inside to her loving boyfriend. It was nice to see that John and Randy were now in good, stable relationships with two very lovely women. "Um... Natalya can I just be by myself for a bit?"

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yeah, I just want to stay by myself for a bit" I said, "Trust me, I'll be fine."

Natalya gave me a cuddle and then went back inside. I turned around and watched all the couples through the glass door, Phil and Adele were enjoying the party; Randy was gleaming when he had Natalya back in his lap and even John and Alex looked very happy. I had no idea what was happening with their baby situation but they looked to be blissful. I turned back around and stared through the dark sky that was above me, feeling the cold breeze flowing through. Why was that not the same for me?

I heard the door creak open and hoped that it was my husband but it was not to be, "Found me again."

Sheamus chuckled as he sipped on his can of beer, "Yeah, you're not hard to fine... always away from the group."

"I'm not always like that, it's just a little difficult without Wade" I said, "If he was here, he and Phil would be joking around, he'd throw some stabs at John and probably throw Randy of this balcony but... still I'd like if he was here."

"I'm sorry that he didn't come out with you here" said Sheamus sincerely.

I shrugged my shoulders, "What can you do?"

"Can I tell you something?" he spoke, nearing closer to me.

I looked up at his sweet face, "Yeah..."

"Wade seems to have something stuck up his ass to not want to accompany you tonight" said Sheamus grinning.

I laughed, "He normally has something up there every day."

"How about tonight you forget about that Fella of yours and have a little fun, this is a party after all" he said, "I'll make sure to keep you smiling, no more tears."

"Alright... let's have some fun" I said as I finally got out of rut. Sheamus opened the glass door, where the music was blasting and Adele and Phil grinned as they saw me.

"Lea!" screamed Adele as she grabbed on to me, "Finally you're here!"

"Yeah... just got here" I lied, "But your brother was taking care of me." I turned back to look at Sheamus. I could see him blush a little bit, maybe because of the alcohol.

Phil looked around behind me, "Where's Wade?" Even Adele looked at me blankly.

"He's at home... he wanted to come but...um... he just had a lot of work still to do" I lied.

Adele and Phil gave each other sympathetic looks and then turned to me. "I'm glad to have you hear" said Adele as she gave me another hug.

"Me too!" said Phil, "You can give Sheamus some company, poor guy has been slamming down the alcohol."

"Yeah, I got excited and thought that he might actually have found a lady at this party" said Adele, "But sadly not."

I glanced at Sheamus who looked a little embarrassed that he was by single and that the couple were teasing him about it. "Well he found me, I'll be his date for tonight" I said to them. Sheamus smiled sweetly as he looked at me, almost thankful.

"You two have fun then" said Adele, "We're going do some dancing soon... so make sure you make Sheamus dance."

Sheamus shook his head quickly, "I'm not dancing."

"Come on" I said grabbing his thick wrist, "You said that you were going to keep me smiling."

"I really can't dance..." he said sternly, "I just don't dance."

Phil changed the pace of the music, the beat much slower and much sexier. He grabbed onto Adele's hand and pulled her in close as they swayed together. His hands moving to her face as he engulfed her lips. Normally I would be grossed out or scared that they were about to have sex but you couldn't when you could see how much they loved each other. I noticed all of these other couples follow and dance with them. I just took one of the couches as the others left and slouched in them. Sheamus sat next to me as we watched everyone dance, "Alright! I'll dance... but just for you so you should be grateful."

"Yay!" I exclaimed as I shot up of the couch. He looked fearful as he put out his hand for me to hold. I grabbed on to it and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll teach you."

A small look of relief covered his face as we walked toward the other couples; he chuckled, his cheeks turning slightly pink as his hand moved to my waist.

I placed my free hand on his shoulder, "Just sway with the music" I spoke in his ear.

He slowly moved his feet to and fro with the beat of the music and I followed. "I think I'm getting there" he said happily.

"You're a natural" I said. My eyes flickered around the other couples as the music played through the night, all of them looking so happy and in love. Randy and Natalya were looking to be very promising. John and Alex looked very much in love and happy. But most of all Adele and Phil, they could not get their hands off each other. While I danced with Sheamus, my eyes were glued to the door hoping that it would open and Wade would walk in and with that signature smirk he would just hold me in his arms and everything would be normal again. But it was winding down and the door never opened and Wade never came. I wondered whether there was some deeper meaning to this.

The night was coming to an end, with most of the guests leaving and I was ready to go home, I really didn't want to see Wade because I would just start crying but I had to go. I walked in to Sheamus's room and grabbed my purse.

"You leaving?" Sheamus cried as he walked in, a glass of beer in his hand.

I nodded, "Yeah I'm ready to go home."

"I was hoping you and I could talk for a bit, have a few more drinks" he said. He already looked to have had a few drinks too many by the way he was gawking at me.

"No thank you, I just want to go home... but thank you so much for tonight, it was lovely. Adele and Phil are lucky to have you here. If you weren't here, I think I would of hid here for the whole night but you made it really fun for me" I said, "I had a really good time."

"If I was your husband I wouldn't have let you out of my sight" he said as he inched closer, "I'd happily do anything you asked me to do."

I giggled, "Thanks Sheamus, but my husband is a little difficult." Sheamus was hovering above me, his blue eyes searching me. I felt a little awkward as I stepped back. "Alright then, I'll see you around."

"Lea..." he spoke.

I turned around and stared at him, "Yes?"

He gave out a small sigh, "Um, just take care alright."

I nodded, "I will."

...

I slowly walked toward the front door not really wanting to go in and having to face Wade but at the same time, I missed him. For the first time since we had gotten together, romantically I was scared of him. I hadn't been scared of him since he was my boss and I was his mute secretary. It was late, so I hoped that he was asleep and that I didn't have to deal with him. I saw that the light was on in one of the rooms. It was Wade's study room, where he had his desk and computer. It was his office away from home. The door was closed and I had no intention of opening it. I just wanted to quietly walk past and dive into bed. I just took a quick peek into little Adele's room just to check on her. She was sleeping peacefully, probably dreaming big. I gave her a kiss on her forehead and then quietly slipped out. I walked toward our bedroom, thanking the lord that I could just lie down and sleep. As I lay my head on to the pillow, my eyes would not give in. I couldn't sleep at all. Minutes passed and I heard the door handle move. I closed my eyes tightly and pulled the sheet over my head. Wade walked quietly inside, I could hear him changing his clothes and then sliding into bed next to me. I didn't want to look at him because this anger and disappointment was filling my body. But at the same time I just wanted him to hold me. What had happened between us?
