We headed straight for the bar and waited in line. “Do you want to go and grab a table?” I turned to Kellie.

“No, let's get the drinks and we can go and find one together.”

“Okay.” The queue went down quite quickly and I ordered two pornstar Martini’s. When the barman put the glasses on the bar I swiped my card on the machine and passed one over to Kellie.

Kellie noticed a table in the far corner. “Come on,” I followed behind her and we took the small empty table. There's a couple of empties on there, I hope there's no one sitting here. I looked around me, no one seemed to be coming back to claim it, so I sat down.

“So, how's it going with the hottie?”

I lifted an eyebrow, ‘Hottie?”

“Please. Don’t tell me you don’t think so. I mean looking like that must make it easier to have sex with him.”

I sighed loudly and lifted my cocktail to my lips, took a sip and swallowed. “I think I’m in way above my head. I’m sinking, Kell.” I paused for a second while I found the right words… “My composure is failing and I’m finding it harder and harder to pretend I don’t feel anything for him.”

“Girl you’ve got it bad.” I nodded in agreement. I wasn’t going to argue. “If you ask me, you never stopped feeling for him, but I can see why you fancied him in the first place and even now he’s a very good looking thirty, however old he is,” She shrugged and took a gulp of her martini. “I mean, I think you’re fucking lucky; I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for nothing… in fact, I’d tie him to it while he slept.”

“You’re a dirty bitch.” I laughed.

“You can talk, having dirty sex with a guy that has you locked away like a princess. I’m trying to think what fairy tale this could be from?”

“Fairy tale? I can’t remember any fairy tale like this. I mean Rapunzel was kept locked in a tower but even she didn’t get a proposition. Beauty and the Beast, Beast let her out and I wouldn’t even call Troy a beast, would you?”

“Sexiest beast I’ve ever seen.” Her mouth tipped up on one side as she smirked.

I shook my head but I had to agree. The music changed from up to date to the nineties, her eyebrows lifted as she grinned and cocked her head to listen to it. I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys played out and it made me laugh even more. “Appropriate, don't you think?”

I snorted as I lifted my glass again and drank more.

“Drink up and I’ll get us another.” Kellie stood from her seat and I drained the contents then passed my glass. “Same again?”

“Please hon… If they have one, just get a pitcher.” I shouted out as she started to walk away. She nodded and I waited at the table for her to return.

I looked around me, the pub was filling up, the music was good and people were dancing. My bag sat on my lap and I felt it vibrate. I opened it up and pulled out my phone. A message from Troy sat on the screen.

Let me know where you are and I'll pick you up later.

You don’t have to do that; we can get a cab.

The bubbles bounced as he replied.

I waited for the message to appear and Kellie came back with the pitcher.

“Who you talking to, or need I ask,” her eyebrows bounced, “Is it the beast?” Her chuckle had me shaking my head.

I’d rather pick you up. At least then I know you’re safe.

Am I safe though?

I hit send and turned it face down. As I looked up two guys were staring at us, ogling us. “Great,” I said out loud as I placed my phone down.

“What’s wrong?”

I nodded my head to the guys behind her and fidgeted in my seat as they made their way over to us.

“Ladies,” They both nodded as one of the guys spoke up. “I’m Carl and this is Stuart. Can we get you a drink?”

“No thanks.” Kellie looked at me with wide eyes, she obviously wanted a drink. “We have one,” I held my glass of martini up to prove it, “See.”
