(Simon's POV) flashbacks in italic
"Si?"
I just sigh,looking at Cheryl.
"Was it over us?"
"Yes.Well at that point it was,but the rest of the arguments that day weren't!"
Cheryl looks at me questioningly,a pout on her face.
"Why? What was it over?"
"It doesn't matter sweetheart."
"Please tell us?"
I see her just look me in the eye,and I know I have to tell her the truth.
"Right,well basically,she didn't think we were actually going for a meal."
"What? Why? Where did she think we were going?"
"Your hotel."
"And why exactly?"
I just raise my eyebrows at her.
"Oh! Wow! She thought we were sleeping together?"
"Yes."
"Wow,just wow! I don't actually know what to say."
I pull Cheryl closer to me,wrapping my arms around her waist,placing a few kisses along her shoulder.
"But we know the truth sweetheart." I whisper.
"Yeah,but she thought there was more happening than what there actually was.I know I was with you alot in LA,but it wasn't for sex!"
"I know sweetheart,don't stress yourself out over it.She knows everything now."
I hear her sigh,and she cuddles herself closer to me.I place a kiss on top of her head,thinking back to that day.
I was just finishing getting changed after having a shower.I was treating Cheryl for dinner tonight and I was taking her to one of her favourite restaurants in LA.I was putting my shirt on,doing up the buttons,leaving the top three buttons undone.I do my belt up,before slipping my shoes on,turning around when the bedroom door opens.Mezhgan walks in,looking me up and down and frowning.
"Where are you going?"
"Out Mezhgan."
"Oh,really! I wouldn't of guessed that considering you're all dressed up!"
I just roll my eyes at her,grabbing my phone,wallet and cigarettes off the bed.I walk over to her,
"Can I go out the door please?" I ask calmly.
She doesn't move out the way,she just folds her arms,raising her eyebrows at me.
"Where are you going?" She repeats.
"Like I said,I'm going out Mezhgan!"
She leans forward,smelling me.
"What are you doing? That's just weird!"
"You're going out somewhere nice.You're dressed up and using your best aftershave.Who you trying to impress?"
"Mezhgan! I'm not trying to impress anyone! I'm going out for a meal,so I thought I'd actually look smart!"
"And when exactly were you thinking of telling me you were going out?"
"When I came downstairs I was going to tell you."
She moves abit out the way,so I slide past her and walk out the door.I walk down the hallway and down the stairs,hearing her following me.
"Simon! I hadn't finished speaking to you!"
I get to the bottom of the stairs,walking into the living room,hearing Mezhgan coming down the stairs.
"Simon!"
"Yes Mezhgan?" I sigh.
"Who are you going on this meal with then?"
"Cheryl."
"Oh of course you are! I don't get it,how come we never go for a meal,but you'll go off with Cheryl?"
"Because I'll end up in an argument with you!"
"Are you sure it's just a meal?!"
"What exactly do you mean by that?"
"Are you sure it's not off to her hotel room?"
"Mezhgan! We're friends! There's nothing else happening,you need to get that out of your head!"
"It would make sense Simon! You look nice,smell nice,didn't bother telling me you were even going out!"
"I'm taking Cheryl out for a meal.We organised this a couple of days ago,it's my treat because I wanted to catch up properly."
"Catch up in what way exactly?"
"Mezhgan,we aren't sleeping together!"
"Yeah,alright!"
"Believe what you want to Mezhgan! I can't be doing with this tonight! I'm going out for a nice meal with Cheryl,then I may go back to her hotel for a drink when I drop her off!"
"And what time do you plan on being home?"
"I don't know Mezhgan! I'm not planning on being home at a certain time! Go on to bed if you're tired,and I'll be home later on!"
"Why do you think this is all alright?"
"What? Spending time with Cheryl?"
"You spend most of your time with,or in contact with Cheryl!"
"Because she's my friend!"
"You know I don't trust you two together,and you spend even more time with her! Is it just to annoy me or something?"
She picks up a glass,slamming it down on the side,making it smash.
Just then,I hear the buzzer for the front door go.I look at Mezhgan,
"You are completely mad Mezhgan!"
"No! You make me mad!"
"Just clear up the glass while I'm out Mezhgan,and calm down."
I walk past her and into the hallway,walking over to the door and opening it.My breath hitches when I see Cheryl stood there in a figure hugging red dress.My eyes linger over her body,and I hear her giggle quietly.I quickly look her in the eye,and she gives me a dimpled smile.
"Hiya."
"Hi darling,come in,I just need to grab my keys."
"Okay." She says with a smile,stepping in the hallway,shutting the door behind her.
I walk out into the kitchen,picking up my keys,before walking back out into the hallway.I see Mezhgan stood in the doorway which leads into the living room,and it seems to be really awkward right now.
"She looks nice for a meal Simon!"
"Mezhgan! Leave it!"
She walks over to me,standing right infront of me,looking into my eyes.
"Nothing better happen!"
I just sigh,looking away from her and over to Cheryl who looks slightly confused.Mezhgan turns to face Cheryl,frowning at her,before walking past her and up the stairs.I walk over to Cheryl,putting an arm around her.
"Lets go for that meal then." I say with a smile.
"Lets go."
