Rory and his friends came out to me in Vegas. We had a great time. The nightlife is to die for, and I know I would miss it if I left. You get to hook up with random women who are going home the next day, and you don't have to worry about making excuses. Although there was one woman who I didn't want to let go, but she snuck out of the room while I was in the shower, and she had given me a wrong number.
“We had a great time,” Rory says, looking at me. “Some more than others.”
“Hey, I'm single and ready to mingle.”
“What did happen to that woman you took back to the hotel that night? You seemed to be connecting really well, but I've never heard you talk about her.” Rory is shouting down the table, and I really don't want to talk about it. I need to cut him off right now.
“Ah, you know what it's like. Once you fuck them, you leave them.” I cringe because she did that to me and I was pissed off about it. But sure I'm never going to see her again, right?
Wrong!
I look up and see the woman from that night. She heard every word I said and now I want to apologize, but she scurries off without saying anything. Shit, what do I do now?
The appetizers are removed, and I just want to go and find her. Who is she? Does she work here? That would be such a coincidence. Instead, I go to find the bathroom.
I can hear two women talking.
“What's wrong with you, Lily? You always do the front of house stuff. I'm the back end girl, remember. I'm not used to being out there. Is it something to do with the hunk that came in last? Do you know him?”
I don't hear a response.
“Oh my God, he wasn't your one-night stand in Vegas was he? The one that you talked about all the time? The one that you wished you hadn't run out on?”
“Shh, don't say anything.” I hear her voice and I know without a doubt that it's her. It's the same voice that told me to fuck her time and time again. I remember the feel of her lips wrapped around my cock. I know if I go outside now she is going to be embarrassed, but I need to know how to find her again. I'm not letting her go this time. She was too good for that.
I open the door and walk out, but there's no one there. Walking back into the room, I see her talking to Jess. “How is everything going? Are you enjoying the meal? Is there anything you need?”
“No, Lily, everything is beautiful, you've done a beautiful job.” Jess is looking up at her in awe.
“Great. I have some things to finalize for tomorrow, so I'll be out the back. Alison is going to organize the mini speeches tonight if that's okay,” Jess looks at her like she's not sure. “Are you sure you're okay, Lily? Are you not feeling well?”
“I'm fine, honestly. I just need to contact the caterers and make sure everything is in order. I'll be here until you leave. And I will see you tomorrow morning bright and early. It's going to be your big day, and it starts early.”
“Okay, thanks, Lily, this place is fantastic.”
“Yeah, the food is exquisite.”
“I hope you and Alison had something to eat on us.”
“We did, thank you,” Lily looks down the table and as soon as she sees me, she looks at the floor. Then she scurries out. I lean back in my chair. “Rory,” I shout, so he can hear me.
When he looks at me, I nod my head for him to come over to me.
“What's up, dude?” he asks, kneeling beside my chair.
“Who was that talking to Jess?” I nod down the corridor, which is where she just went.
“Oh, you mean Lily? She is our wedding planner. Why? Don't tell me you have her in your sights? She's too good for you, man.”
I look back at him. “You know she's the woman from Vegas and she just heard what I said about her?”
Rory looks at me and then down the corridor. Then he starts laughing. He's laughing so hard that he falls over. I watch him struggle to catch his breath.
“It's not fucking funny. I really liked her and now I've fucked up.” I can't believe I said something so crass just to look good in front of my friends. I'm a shit. It wasn’t even true.
“It can't be. She's so sweet and so organized. I would have recognized her or did she recognize me?”
“Well, dude, you were extremely drunk that night.”
