Playing With Fire ( BECKFREEN G!P)

Part 24

I was happy with my life, right? I had to be, but after Miami Alex hadn't been quite the same with me. I was beginning to realise just how possessive he could be. We were still arguing about Nam's wedding. I wasn't going to back down. I really couldn't see what his problem was.

"Freen, I don't care how many times you keep telling me. You are not going to that wedding," Alex fumed over breakfast.

"I am going," I replied firmly, buttering my toast.

"Freen, please."

"Alex, I don't want to spend months fighting with you. Nam is my best friend. I don't understand why you are being so difficult."

"You left that world behind when you married me. You are too good for those people."

"Those people," I laughed.

Alex got up from the table. "I don't want you mixing with those sorts of people anymore. As my wife you will respect that." Alex glared before he left.

He was still being impossible. It had been eight weeks since Miami. I was hoping he would have backed down by now.

I was sat on the balcony reading when my phone went off. I smiled looking at the ID. Since Miami Nam had called me every week.

"Hey," I breathed answering.

"Freen, where are you right now?" Nam asked.

"In my penthouse. Why?"

"I am in central Park as we speak."

"You're in New York?" I screeched excited. "You never said."

"It was unplanned."

"Did you want me to meet you?"

"If you are free."

"God, you have no idea how free I am," I laughed, jumping off my seat.

"Well, get your ass down here," Nam laughed. "I'll meet you by the west bridge."

"I'll be there in thirty minutes."

I didn't want to use the private car. I knew Alex would question who I had visited, so I took a taxi instead. I could make out Nam in the distance by the bridge. Her blonde hair was shining in the sunshine, she was beaming with happiness.

"Hey," Nam grinned, hugging me. "You look great."

"So do you," I smiled.

"I thought we could have a coffee first." I nodded as Nam led the way.

It was good to see her. We sat while she told me all the stories from Australia. It was obvious they were all having the time of their lives. I had to admit I was a little jealous.

"So, what is new with you," Nam asked sipping her coffee.

"Nothing really."

"Is New York getting any easier?"

"A little, Jane and I are thinking of setting up our own business."

"Really, doing what?" Nam asked interested.

"Publishing actually, seen as we both have our degrees."

"Freen, that sounds perfect. You would be amazing."

"It's still in the early stages." Meaning Alex had to agree to it.

"How are you and Alex?"

"Good thanks."

"Just good?"

"Stop digging, Nam. Alex and I are great. We have never been stronger."

"Just checking, it is my job, Freen," Nam rolled her eyes at me. "So Mind and I have set a date."
