Just one night...

Chapter 1

"Why are we doing this? I would much rather be laid in my bed watching Netflix then going out!" Cassie looked at her best friend Alice. Alice was beautiful. She has long blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, a petite figure and long legs. Me on the other hand.. I have long dull brown hair, small chunky legs and an okay figure.
"Stop being boring Cas. It's a Saturday night. No work tomorrow and you and Marcus have broken up again. What a better way to celebrate that then going out and getting so drunk you forget your own name??".
"Exactly Alice. Marcus and I have broken up. I don't want to go out. I'm miserable."
"Cassie c'mon! You are always breaking up but you will be back together in a week! Yous have such an unhealthy relationship that I want to scream at you every time you tell me you are back together! But I don't. I leave you to get on with it. But please please please let me enjoy my best friend being single and come out and get pissed with me" Alice did a sad pout.
I sighed "ah fine! But after tonight you can leave me to be miserable!"
"Deal babe!" Alice giggled.

Marcus and I had been dating on and off since we were 17. We are now 27. It's been 10 years of highs and lows, but for the past couple of years it's been all lows. We are both so unhappy in our relationship, but for some reason we could never leave it alone and move on. I think it's a comfort thing with us both. We argue every single day. I can't remember the last time we said I love you to each other, and sex is just sex. Nothing romantic or meaningful. I don't get the same butterfly feelings when we have sex like i used to. Marcus is a gorgeous man. Tanned, dark hair dark eyes and tall. But I just don't feel like I used to.

It was 21:30 and the club was already heaving! You could barely move. It stunk of sweat and beer.
"What you fancying Cassie?"
"Erm just a vodka coke please"
Alice walked towards the bar and I stood by a table people watching. There were people dancing, lads and lasses grinding on each other, people making out in the middle of the dance floor. Why were drunk people so cringe?
"Here babe" Alice handed me my drink. "I can't believe how rammed it is tonight"
"I know. I'm surprised they are still letting people in.
My phone buzzed.
Marcus;
What are you doing? Come to mine.

"What's he said?" Alice knew straight away that it would be Marcus. This is what he does. Breaks up with her and then messages a few hours later acting as though everything is normal.
I showed Alice the message. "Uh huh tonight is girls night. You ain't going to his"
I put my phone away. " Alice I'm so fed up of him. I hate him. Why are we even still pissing around with our relationship. It's ridiculous"
As I finished speaking a couple of lads walked over to the table Alice and I were standing at.
"Can i get you beautiful girls a drink?"
My heart stopped. Who was this beautiful man in front of me. Tall, muscular body, longish hair which was pushed back. He was so handsome it took my breath away.
"No but you can stay at speak with us" Alice winked.
Alice liked Jack. His name was Jack. Jack was so handsome. I swear I was drooling staring at him. Alice was flirting with him. Jack was flirting back. I had no chance with him. Alice was the beauty in our friendship. Not me.
I was left with Sam. Sam was nice but not my type. He was blonde, blue eyes and roughly about 5ft8. I didn't want to speak with Sam. I wanted Jack.

It was just after midnight and the club was slowly emptying. Jack and Alice were still flirting. Sam had gone. He could tell I wasn't interested. I could swear I saw Jack looking at me every now and again, but it might have been my eyes deceiving me.
"Al I'm going to head home"
Alice barely looked at me "okay babe. Message me when you get back"
Jack was staring at me. Oh god he was gorgeous.
"Bye cas" he winked. I almost died.
I did a little wave.
When I got home my phone pinged. "For gods sake Marcus" I said to myself whilst pulling out my phone. But it wasn't Marcus. It was an unknown number. I opened the message.
"It's Jack from tonight. What's your address? I want to see you"
