Pretty soon I was dressed up for out little girls night. I was really looking forward to being able to let loose just a little bit. I arrived at the wizarding club that Luna had said we would be meeting, it was a relatively new place called Fire and Dragons. I had never been so I was even more excited when I got there and it was amazing. I immediately spotted a table in the back with Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Katie and sadly Fleur. I walked up smiled and giving them each a kiss on the cheek. The girls and I ordered a round of drinks, non-alcoholic for Hermione, and cheers to Luna on the eve of her wedding.
The night went pretty well and I was feelings pretty good. "Hey, Marni. Did you ever find a date for wedding tomorrow?"
I took a big swallow of my drink, "Yes, seeing as I had no choice in the matter." I shot a pointed look at Luna who just grinned.
"Well are you going to tell us who?" Fleur piped in. I was hesitant to say who because I had a feeling that whatever I said tonight would get back to my brother.
"Everyone will just see tomorrow." I stated firmly and with that I got up from the table, and walked to the bar. As I was waiting for my drink I glanced around the club. It was only a few seconds before a familiar head of blonde on the dance floor. I watched as he danced with a beautiful yet trashy looking girl. I was mesmerized by how he moved. I had no idea he could dance like that. He leaned down and connected his lips with hers and all of a sudden I felt sick to my stomach. Why? Why am I feeling like this. Am I jealous? My eyes were locked on the pair who were oblivious to their audience. My stomach knotted up and I felt like I had just been punched in the gut and I felt my heart sink. Holy shit, I am jealous! Dammit! I all of sudden wasn't feeling up to partying anymore. I made my way to the loo abandoning my freshly ordered drink in the process. I splashed my face with water. While I was drying my face with a towel I heard the door open.
"Marni, we saw you run off. Are you okay?" Ginny's voice came from directly behind me.
I looked up into the mirror and caught her gaze, "I felt sick all of a sudden. I think I need to be heading home."
"Are you sure?" She looked at me skeptically.
I nodded, "Yeah, I'll go apologize to everyone." She nodded and walked with me back to the table. "Hey, um. I think I am about to head back home. I got sick feeling just a minute ago and I think it's best. I am so sorry, Luna. Have fun! And I will see you pretty ladies tomorrow."
"I understand, Marni, go home and rest for the wedding tomorrow be at my house no later than 4:30." I nodded then waved goodbye, not bothering with hugs or kisses. I made my way through the club. I tried to be as fast as I could as I weaved in out between people.
Someone grabbed my arm and I froze in my tracks. Shit. Please don't be who I think it is, "Marni." Dammit. I turned slowly around and was face to face with my boss. I noticed his eyes rake over my body and I suddenly felt very exposed in my halter top dress that showed off my chest and fell just at mid-thigh. I knew he was comparing me to that girl he was just with and I definitely couldn't measure up to her. I looked at his face, his lips swollen from the kiss I witnessed earlier, I felt myself trying to tear up but I willed myself not to cry. "I didn't realize this is where you girls were coming."
"I guess I didn't mention it. Didn't know you'd be here either. Well I must be going." I said quickly trying to turn and walk away but he still held firm to my arm.
"It's early. Where are you headed? Found a man that's waiting for you outside?" There was sarcasm in his voice and this just served to piss me off.
"Even if I did that would be none of your business so if you would please let go of my arm and let me leave." His hand released me but his eyes stayed trained on mine. I turned sharply and continued my away out of the club. Once I was out I made my way to the apparation point and soon was standing in my apartment. I flopped down on my bed. What the hell is wrong with me. He was a total prat in school. Yes, we have been friends for a couple years now but he was still an egotistical bastard for so many years. He's my boss! I cannot have feelings for my boss, that is just wrong on so many levels. I closed my eyes and tried to just forget about the night and go to sleep. Just as I was about to fall into slumber I jolted awake, he's my date for tomorrow! Son of a bitch!
