Hanging By A Moment (Sequel to Funhouse)

Chapter 17

"Would you like to order now or are you waiting for somebody?" A young waitress asked me

"I'm waiting on a friend, She should be here soon" I replied

"Can I get you a drink while your waiting?"

"No, I'm fine thank you"

"Ok, I'll come back in a little while then" The waitress said before leaving to serve another table.

I was sat in a little bistro in Soho just around the corner from the Club waiting for Sarah, We'd decided to get a spot of tea before opening the club, But so far Sarah hadn't shown up.

I can remember when the girls where at University Nadine would go on and on about Sarah's poor time keeping abilities, looks like things haven't Changed.

I decided to check my phone just in case Sarah had rang or texted me, I had a annoying habit of leaving it on vibrate in the bottom of my bag.

I did have a message but it wasn't from Sarah.

<< John - Hiya Lass, Have you gone back up North then pet? x >>

<<Cheryl - No London, Got a job with a mate that owns a club x >>

"Alright, babe. Sorry I'm late" I jumped slightly when Sarah sat herself down at the table

"Hey, Its fine" I smiled & dropped my mobile back in to my bag. If it was possible I'd found myself loving Sarah a bit more today after what Kimberley had told me she'd done for her & me.

"What you getting? I'm starving" She stated picking a menu up

"Just a sandwich I think"

The waitress came back across and we ordered, I ordered a Tuna Baguette and Sarah ordered a full English.

"Sarah . ." I started

"Yep" She said looking up from her mobile

"I just want to Thank you for everything you've done in the past four years, For Kim and for me" I said seriously, She put her mobile down on the table and looked in thought for a moment

"Kim told you, Didn't she?"

"About Spain, Yeah. It was an amazing thing to do, Sarah. I'm so grateful you was there for her, Looking out for her . ." I said sincere

"Don't go thinking I'm mother Teresa or owt, I went strictly for the Sun Sea & Sex" She smirked, I knew she was lying

"Yeah right, You did a good thing. . and I'm sorry you got in trouble with School and your parents"

"Don't worry, babe" She smiled

"Thank you" I told her

"Stop thanking me.. .I got a 2 month Holiday, You wont see me complaining"

"Was Kimberley Ok?" I asked

"No, I would have had a better holiday if I'd of gone backpacking with a flock of Nuns" She giggled

"That bad"

"She wasn't a happy chappy but its in the past now, Cheryl"

"Its not for me, I'm only just finding these things out" I said with a shake of the head

"I'm sure it was sh*t for you when you left as well"

"it was, Missed her like crazy, still do"

"You know what she went thru now when you left, Doesn't that encourage you to fight for her?"

"Don't worry Sarah, I'm not giving up"

"Good"

"But seriously, Sarah. Thank you so much for looking after her while I wasn't here"
