"I didn't know you were coming or that you were back in town,"Andrew said, facing Rita and Brittney.

"She told me she was in town and I was like "you should totally come to Andrew's birthday party." Rita said.

"Are you not happy to see me?" Brittney said.

"I am, just surprised," he said.

"I will leave you two. You should talk," Rita said. Taking a drink and going away to meet the other guest.

Brittney moved closer to Andrew, they were only an inch apart now.

He could feel her breath on his skin as she spoke.

"You look good as always," she said.

"You look beautiful too," he said.

She traced her fingers on his hands drawing circles on them teasingly.

"We should go out and get drinks sometime. I have missed you," she said.

"Who is she?" Krystal asked.

"You will need a drink for this?" Trisha said to Krystal as they both grabbed a drink from the tray.

Krystal's eyes were focused on both Brittney and Andrew. She tried making out what they were both saying but they were too close for her to know.

She shifted her gaze from them to Trisha who was standing in front of her.

"So, in high school. Brittney and Andrew dated. It wasn't just any type of relationship. Everyone envied them and everyone loved them together. They were literarily the perfect couple. They went everywhere together, did everything together, they loved each other alot," Trisha explained and Krystal became more intrigued in the story and wanted to know what was next.

"Then what happened?" She asked her.

"Then they broke up."

"If they loved themselves as much as you explained why would they break up."

"It was just a few days before finals. The news spread across the whole school, and the news was that Andrew had cheated on Brittney."

"I was surprised because it seemed like it was he who invested more into the relationship and loved her more."

"Was that we're the playboy name came from."

"Yes, you're right. And it was said that he cheated on her with her bestfriend. They broke up after and then we left high school."

"Why did Rita invite her?" Krystal said.

"To spite me?" She added.

"Maybe and also, they were close friends in school too."

Krystal knew the invite wasn't an innocent one. She watched as Brittney flirted with Andrew and How Rita turned to look at them at every chance she got.

Andrew knew he had to save himself from what was going on with Brittney. The memories from the past were still so clear in his head and he also knew how much effect she had on him. Regardless of what his marriage with Krystal was, he still wanted to respect her.

Andrew took a glass of wine and gently tapped the side with a key to grab everyone's attention.

"I want to thank everyone for being here today to celebrate with me and specially I would like to thank my amazing sister, Rita and my beautiful wife, Krystal for putting all these together," he said and they both smiled.

Krystal had moved to where Rita was standing now.

"Why did you invite her?" Krystal said, turning to Rita and looking and Brittney who was still all over Andrew.
