Chapter Two
It was a long day and the headache I woke up with is still there. As you are driving home from work your phone rings and you answer. "Hello." "Hay Mish." "Hey, Sarah." "Listen Mish, it's been ages since just us girls went out and had some fun, we getting together at Macalroys tonight if you're up to joining us." "I not feeling up to anything Sarah, I had a rough day and I have a splitting headache." You can hear the disappointment in her voice. "Well, if you feel better meet us there." You know Sarah is only trying to make you feel better as she knows how you felt about Ambrose. "Ok, Sarah you win I will see you, ladies, later." Sarah ends the call excited, and you smile. I have good friends.
Once I got home I poured myself a glass of wine and headed to the bathroom. laying in the hot bath sipping on my wine. My thoughts are still on the kiss from Ambrose. Angry that I did not tell him how I felt especially after the way he kissed me. Maybe if I told him he would have stayed. I start to cry. Hoping to wash away the thoughts of him, I sink down and lay there sobbing under the water. After crying it all out I get out and dry myself off rubbing cream all over, pulling my robe on, I open my cupboard take out my black silk dress and slip it on. Sliding black high heels on as I sit at my dresser. Looking at myself in the mirror, my hair in a high pony sleek and tight, a touch of makeup, and then last I hooked in a pair of loop earrings.
Looking at myself in the mirror I smile. "You look fabulous," giving yourself a pep talk before you pick up your bag and head out to the club. Feeling good and sexy you promise yourself tonight is about letting go and having fun.
Pulling into the parking lot at Macalroys you start feeling the party vibe in your veins. You meet Sarah and Mandy at the bar and order yourself a glass of wine. "You look great Mishka," Mandy says in your ear cause the music is so loud. You thank her and tell her how fabulous she looks too. Sarah starts to scream and jump around. "I love this song girls, let's go dance." She shouts so loud you can hear her over the loud music. She pulls you and Mandy onto the dance floor whether you wanted to dance or not. After the sixth glass of wine, you are feeling the warmth in your face, and you let go and feel the music take you as you dance hypnotized feeling yourself relax and let go.
"Mandy leans in and talks into your ear "We going to pee want to come with?" You shake your head. You love this song enjoying the way the music makes you feel like you are in your own world. Until you feel a hand on your waist. You cover the hand on your waist with your hand and turn around, hoping to see Ambrose, instead my eyes look into big blue eyes. He pulls me close his breath on my neck as he talks into your ear. "Can I buy you a drink beautiful?". As you nod he takes your hand and leads you to the bar. "Hi, I'm Marcus, and let me start by saying just how beautiful you are." I blush as I reply. "That is very kind of you to say thank you." He smiles. "Serious you are the sexiest woman in here." You sip on your drink when he asks. "Has this sexy woman got a name?" I smile and give him my hand. "Mishka." He takes my hand and kisses it leaving me staring into his beautiful blue eyes. He moves his chair closer to mine and puts his hand on my thigh. Leaning in he whispers into my ear. "I know this may be pushing it… But would you like to come to my place? We can pick up something to eat and get to know each other." It has been weeks since Ambrose left and I need to find a way to get past the feelings I have for him, and just maybe Marcus can help me with that. I can't deny that there is no chemistry between us as there is. I lick my lips and notice him watching me. Without hesitation, he takes my face in his hand and kisses me. His kiss is deep, and I am not sure why, but I needed it. I need to feel something again. The warmth from his body as he pulls me tight against him makes me feel safe and wanted. Could this be the man for me was Ambrose even meant for me?
