You are mine

Plus One

Sorry, but the text is yet again unedited!!! Promise to do that some time soon. But I just couldn't wait to upload it.

"Do you have some sort of a magnet inserted in you?" Laura asks, her head pounding from all the champagne they drank yesterday in the club. "What magnet?" Anna replies, preparing coffee for both of them and reaching up in the cabinet to take some mugs. Kristie is still sleeping and girls are sitting in the living room in their pj's.

"You know. That sort that attracts rich and handsome guys. First James and now the son of Trafells publications company!" Laura curls up in the sofa wearing her teddybear print pj's and takes the TV-remote. "You keep finding these guys who have everything in the world and somehow they want you." She continiues her lecture, same time, as Anna poures them both a cup.

"I hate this feeling. I don't do anything to attract them, they find me!" She laughts in desperation and takes a large gulp of her hot fresh coffee. "Since Shaun, guys find me attractive. I have never felt like this before." Anna takes a seat next to Laura as she pulls the blanket around her.

"Like what?" Laura mumbles against her mug.

"Wanted!"

"Of course they want you. You are a gorgeous girl- tall, beautiful and smart. Any guy who thinks different is a self-loving blink jerk!" Laura replies, slightly wicked smile on her face.

All this time since breaking up with Shaun, Anna's life has been full of surprises and savings. James Hawk and Jake Trecells- they are just ways to get over broken love- she thought in her tortured mind. Yesterday evening was different though. Completly and utterly. Her heart raced as he came foward her, touched her, kissed her or even spoke to her. His words somehow made her think that world could be different and that avoiding love was a wrong thing to do. She should let her feelings take control and see where all this could lead to. Unless- letting go would turn her life into complete catastrofy.

"Have you decided who would you take to my wedding? Now you have a choice between two amazing guys." Laura raised her hand at Anna, gesturing that she was waiting her to decide already.

"No one. I'm coming alone." Anna pounded her hair into a sloppy bun and whiped her eyes.

"No. You need to bring someone! You can't come alone!" Laura pressured her, knowing that Shaun would be there and not alone. Still she didn't know how to tell Anna about all this.

Anna laughted a little, taking her phone and checking for messages.

"Yes, I can. It doesn't matter if I have a plus one. I would be perfectly fine without anyone." She argued with her and glanced at her cup what was almost empty.

"Yes, it does. He will be there, so you need to take someone with you." Laura said, but as she realized that she had almost said out his name, she stood up and tried to escape.

"What to you mean, he will be there?" she replied, looking back at Laura, despretly to find her iphone.

Laura said nothing and crabbed her keys and wallet instead.

"Laura, tell me what are you talking about!" She got angry and almost started screaming at her.

"Shaun, he wil be there. So no, you can't come alone. You need to take one of these guys with you. Or else.." Laura dropped everything as she started to explain the situation to Anna.

"Or else?" Anna asked, her head starting to ache more than it had before.

"Or else he will win! You don't understand. He still loves you and is attensionly hurting you. He's taking his girlfriend and you need to bring someone with you, so you can hurt him." Laura screamed and on that moment Kristie had woken up and was standing on Laura's bedroom doorway.

"What is all this screaming about? I already have a headache, so please stop pickering, for God's sakes!" Kristie dragged her feet to the living room, still wearing the same clothes she did yesterday night.

"We broke up, I don't care if he takes someone. And how the hell he even got the invitation to the wedding?" Anna toned down her voice and put her coffee mug on the coffee table.

"Oh, am, he is the bestman!" Laura said with hesitation in her voice.

"Bestman? How?"

"He and Mike are friends from college. They even worked together. So Mike asked him to be by his side." Laura walked up to Anna, who now had lost all connections to her brain, trying to figure out how all this had happened.

"And how didn't I knew about it? We were together for a year, he never said anything about Mike." Anna replied, her voice almost cracking.

"Even I found out 2 weeks ago. I'm so sorry, that I kept this from you so long. I didn't know how to tell you about him. But don't worry, I have a backup plan! " Laura said, crabbing for Anna's phone and looking up James's phone number from her phonebook.

"Call him and ask him to come with you!" she said, looking at Anna with despiration to get her forgiveness.

"Are you mad, I'm not going to do this!" She discarded the phone on the kitchen island and walked pass Kristie who was curled up on the sofa, in the same position Laura was few minutes ago. "If there isn't anything else you want to tell me, than I will be in my bedroom, trying to figure out how my best friend kept something like this from me without any quilt." Anna said, before closing the door.

"But Anna!" Laura yelled after her, popping her ass down on the sofa, next to Kristie. "Coffee would sound nice right now!" Kristie pleaded.

But Laura said nothing and tryied to figure out how she could make it up to her.

James POV

"Crap, you are getting stronger!" Raffel throws another punch toward James's face but misses miresably and a hard kick lands into his left side. A right hander throws him to the matt. James stands, sweat dripping from his forehead, over Raffel, who's lip is bleading heavely. "I'm just mad, nothing more!" he replies and leanes over Raffel to help him up.

"Girl trouble always got you kick up your game a little bit! I'm not happy, but it helps." Raffel answers, leaning against the ropes and kicking his gloves together as the sound of rubbing rubbers together almost makes him throw up.

"Have you forgotten why we are here? Not to chit-chat, just practice." James replies and whipes his mouth with his gloved hand. "I need to get shape, something you don't know anything about!"

As they approuch each other again, Raffel takes off his gloves and throws them off the arena. "You want to do some real damage, be a man and take your gloves off!" He says, voice furious and a veine almost popping out from his neck.

"Fine." With one move, James loosens the ropes and pulls off his gloves. Hands wrapped in bandages, he moves closer to Raffel to give him the leathel punch. First a right-under to the stomach, left one into his jaw and a double kick into his side. The sound of something cracking echoes throw the gym, as Raffel falls on the mat, his hand clenched to his jaw. "Good one, almost broke my jaw!" he says, rubbing it slightly before spitting out blood. "Almost. Next time I won't be too easy on you." James helps him up.

After the workout they had, James found himself thinking on Anna again. It had been a long time, since he saw her and somehow he couldn't wait for her to give him a call. And a wierd thing happened yesterday when he was on his way to the gym. A girl called, said her name was Laura and that she was a friend of Anna's. When James first met Anastasia in the bar, she was there.

And the thing she asked him, didn't seem that bad to start from. A Favor.
