Wedding Fever

Oh fuck.

"I'm sorry did you say Joanna?" Sin asked.

"Yep."

"Oh this is gonna be bad." Annie whispered.

Sin laughed almost bitterly. "Question for you Joanna. Is the perfect man's name Fred?"

Joanna seemed shocked. "Um, yeah actually. How did you know?"

"Because I'm the perfect woman. Sinthia Watson, fiancee of Fred Weasley."

"I'm guessing he told you about our little meeting?"

"Yeah he told me about how you kissed him! What the hell is wrong with you? Who kisses a man that's engaged?"

Joanna laughed. "Oh hun, I don't think he told you the truth. He was all over me. And he kissed me. Maybe you should ask him why he's so willing to cheat on you."

"She's lying, Sin." Annie stated. "I was here, he did not kiss her at all."

"So you're a fiance kisser and a liar?" I asked.

"Well from what I hear you're a boss fucker. You're the manager who is shagging Fred's brother I assume."

"Did Fred give you a fuckin chart for the people in his life or something?"

"No but he did give me a really good kiss." Joanna smirked.

Sin lunged for her but I stopped her. "No Sin, you shouldn't hit her...let me."

I punched Joanna right in the nose. She stumbled back into the bar and immediately threw her drink on me. The alcohol burned my eyes.

I heard the sound of a slap. "Don't you throw a drink on her, you cow!" Sinthia yelled.

I wiped my eyes furiously. Sin was on the floor now, it looked like Joanna had pushed her. Annie tackled Joanna to the floor as I helped Sin up.

"This broad is mad!" Sin exclaimed.

I pulled Annie up off Joanna.

"What the hell are your problems?" Joanna screamed.

"Mommy issues, daddy issues, abandonment issues and don't even get me started on my issues with commitment!" I laughed.

"Wow you're so funny! No wonder your boss likes shagging you, whore!"

I was going to lunge for her, but someone grabbed me around the waist and swung me away.

"Let me go!" I shrieked. "Put me down!"

They didn't put me down until we were outside. I whipped around to face them. It was Lucian!

"Are you following me again?" I asked.

"No, Vice. I was just trying to help. You were out of control in there. Does Weasley just let you go out and act like this?"

"What George lets me do is none of your business, Lucian."

He looked at the ground. "I miss you."

I sighed. "I miss you too. I-I hate what's happened between us you know? I didn't want things to be like this."

"I'm lost without you. Nothing makes sense anymore. I planned out my whole life being with you and now I have nothing."

"Luc...babe I'm sorry. I wish I loved you the way you love me. But there are other girls for you. I wish you could get over me."

"You think I haven't tried?" Lucian's voice cracked. "I've been in love with you since I was twelve and I have never for one second gotten over you. I waited so long for you to notice me and then you finally did. And you know what's crazy Vice? I know I could probably have any girl I want to, but I don't want any other girl, I want you."
