I got out of hospital a few days later and I've been working out and dieting since trying to get back down to my comfortable size since there's no need for me to start gaining again since I lost the baby. It really upsets me that I lost it, I would never have considered myself to be so ready at the age of 22 to be settled down and pregnant but within a few months that has changed completely. Today Jamie and a few of his friends are returning from their trip to Magaluf so I'm meeting him for dinner later. I don't know what it is about NI but I never seem to be in the house, I'm always busy although that's not a bad thing I suppose. I have got myself a job being a barber in a local hairdressers, I managed to convince them that they could continue to cut all of their female hair and I would pay for a section and only take the money I get from cutting the males hair which is a fair enough deal and I got the job so I've been busy and I'm glad to be getting a good, solid income. I've really missed Jamie while he's been away so I'm sitting in my new local with a glass of white wine waiting on him meeting me here, Jamie and Lauren are completely finished now and she has moved on already which isn't very surprising. Slut. Just as I finish my first glass Jamie enters and I'm so happy to see him. He meets me at the table looking bronzed and happier than ever which is something I like to see. During our catch up he tells me that he's had the best two weeks ever but you need to come back at one point although he would have partied for another two easily. I feel like we are being watched but I don't budge,
"Jamie! How are you my man?" I hear someone ask before I look up from my menu to see the toughest looking guy I've seen in a while,
"I'm good my man, not seen you in ages" Jamie states before the guy takes a seat down in between Jamie and I,
"I've been away" the man sighs,
"I know mate" Jamie replies before the man turns to means smiles when I realise he has around four teeth in his entire mouth but he seems like a nice guy either way,
"Who are you?" He quizzes,
"I'm his sister" I state,
"You're the Scottish lassie everybody's been telling me about" he replies,
"What have they been saying like?" I ask,
"That you're braw" he smirks,
I laugh it off and get back to the menu and I feel him watching me although he's talking to Jamie. They start to whisper and in trying to listen in but I have no idea what they're saying,
"Are you seeing anyone?" He finally asks,
"No" I reply,
"Can I get your number then?" He quizzes,
"I don't really like giving it out " I smile,
"Rachael? Pretty name for a pretty lass" he charms,
I can't help but laugh but I try to act like I'm not impressed, play it cool,
The stranger leaves us around fifteen minutes later and we finally get to order food which I've been saving myself for this meal so I'm praying it's good.
"So Rach we are back on the market" Jamie brags,
"We sure are" I smile,
"It's been ages since we were both single" he states,
"I know. Let's enjoy it while we have it" I smile,
"Let's! You fancy going out tonight?" He quizzes,
"Yeah, why not?" I laugh, before Jamie goes to the bar and starts to get the drinks in, I like this. This seems like a good idea... At the time anyway.
