Saved By The One & Only

Family is important

Amy's POV:

"So, have either of you ladies ever been here before?" Liam is the first one to break the ice between all of us.

"No we haven't. I don't think Mia and I could've afforded the cover charge to get in here." I say to him while taking a sip of my drink.

The drink is absolutely amazing and fruity just like I requested.

"Amy and I wouldn't have probably made it to the entrance." She says as we both chuckle to the comment she made.

"I'm sure you ladies would have gotten in." He says with a kind smile not too far behind.

Suddenly a man approaches our table and both Liam and Mr. Anderson take notice of him and begin conversing with him.

They quickly introduce him as an investment banker who has worked closely with them over the years.

The conversation wasn't something I was too interested in focusing on. And so just as quickly as he introduced himself, is just how quickly I forgot his name.

Mia begged me to go downstairs to dance with her on the dance floor and I agreed considering the men were occupied talking to the investment banker.

Mia informed Liam where we were heading and soon we were walking down the staircase, headed to the dance floor.

As we entered the sea of people trying to find our way to the middle of the dance floor, we finally saw an opening and went for it.

Just as we reached the center, our favorite song came on, Show me love by Robin S. and instantly Mia and I start laughing.

*******
5 songs later, Mia and I are walking back up the staircase reliving some of the funny moments we saw happen on the dance floor.

"I just can't believe he actually thought that guy was doing the Macarena dance to a rap song." I say to Mia with in between laughs after every word.

"That weirdo has enough problems at home and figured we're all subject to his dance moves here at the club." She says back to me while laughing hysterically afterwards.

Just as we reach the last step of the staircase we notice the investment banker is still there but now he's sitting where Liam was sitting and Liam is now sitting in Mia's spot.

I'm not sure if they got up to go to the railing and came back to sit down or what happened here.

As we walk towards them they notice us and the investment banker seems to be wrapping up his conversation as he gets up to leave.

I notice as the investment banker is walking past us Liam doesn't seem to be moving back towards his old seat next to Mr. Anderson.

Mia seems to notice it too except this notion thrills her.

She quickly chooses to sit next to Liam as I slowly begin to walk over and take a seat next to Mr. Anderson.

He notices me walking to the seat and suddenly begins to bring his lips to a small smile.

It's weird seeing him this way, it's not usually like him.

Well then again you're always at work together so why would you see him as anything else other than your boss.

Once I sit down I notice Liam and Mia get up and walk away in the direction of the bar they have here in the VIP lounge.

I almost want to yell at her and say "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING LEAVING ME ALONE WITH HIM?!!!"

But of course I can't.

"What business did you have to attend to tonight? That almost caused you to miss this interaction between your best friend and one of mine?" He says with a serious face suddenly.

I think he meant it as a joke the fact that both of our best friends are suddenly so close to one another but I couldn't register that seeming as though he's extremely serious.

"My mother's been begging to come visit me or I go to her. So I promised her tonight I would check what the prices for flights are a couple of months from now. And that I would get back to her on it. But it was just to keep her busy." I respond to him.

His face seems to visibly relax which makes me question what the issue was to begin with.

"I see. Would you like to request time off?" He questions quite genuinely.

"Oh no, sir. I'm not ready to take any days off just yet. Plus, I just started working at your company not too long ago. So it would be extremely unprofessional to ask for time off just yet." I say to him.

"I'm sure we can work something out for you. Family is extremely important to me and the company. And please... call me Damon. We are off from work right now, there is no need for such formalities." He responds back to me with true confidence.

"Thank you. I appreciate that Mr. Ander...." I quickly correct myself before continuing. "Thank you, Damon. But I think I'm okay right now. I can keep my mom at bay for now." I finish off with a slight chuckle.

"Is this who you're sleeping with now?!! Is this why you haven't been responding back to any of my calls! Huh? Damon!!"

Both of us quickly snap our heads in the direction of which the voice was coming from. Only to find none other than Cristina staring at Mr. Anderson with an angry expression on her face after having yelled at him out loud about him 'potentially sleeping with me.'
