Lucky Night

Chap 3. Cocktail

"I had no idea that you were working with Perrie today, if I knew it I would come sooner to watch you guys working" Jade said, wrapping her arm around the blonde. "Aren't you quite the charmer? I know what you would, you perv" they all laughed. "So Jade, Perrie told me you're a lawyer, you must be pretty busy...So how you just ended up here in the middle of the day?" Perrie glared at her. "What? I have some questions, I'm curious" Leigh said with her habit of protecting her friend. Perrie wanted to slap her friend for her questions, but she was just lost on the feeling of Jade's hand drawing circles on her waist. "I'm very busy, but I'm also free at lunch hours, if I don't have a meeting with clients to attend to. Some of those free days, I spend with Jesy, she's a demanding friend" she said laughing and Jesy lost no time to respond "You bet I'm, if I didn't make sure she goes out of the office, she would live inside that building in a few months, I swear". "So you're not just a know-it-all, but a workaholic too?" Perrie said faking surprise. "What can I say? I'm a woman of many qualities. Leigh, I would be very happy to answer all of your questions over lunch... Shall we?"

They went to eat and Leigh-Anne asked all of her questions, if Jade was free, if she had prior relationships still bothering, if she was committed, if her intentions with her friend were true... The blonde was mortified, but Jade insisted on answer them all. They talked about the previous nights, Jesy's drunk episodes, Leigh's new love interest, how life put them together on the same room by chance. After almost 2h, Jade's phone rang. "I'm sorry, I must see answer this" and she excused herself from the room. "Leigh, from best-friend to best-friend, Jade's totally a keeper, if I was into girls I would make her love me so I could date her. I met Perrie earlier, so I already like her. But Perrie, if you hurt her, I will kill you... You don't even wanna know what I did to Jade's ex. I don't play when it's about Jade, she's my sister". When the blue eyed girl was going to answer, Jade came into the room "It was my boss, he want me to attend tonight this stupid cocktail to impress a new client... I'll be so damn bored". Jesy said "I know you hate those stuff, and I would go with you, but you know I didn't sleep, so I'll be cranky and you would hate me". Leigh pinched her friend, and murmured to her: offer her company, I like her. In a bounce of confidence, Perrie went closer to the smaller girl and said "Well, you wanted to discuss our date and I'm sure I wouldn't let you die of boredom, so I would take this job of trophy date... What do you think?" the brunette laugh, bit her lip and stepped even closer, taking Perrie's hand "I think it would be my pleasure, to have such a ravishing girl in my arms, for the sake of our business discussions of course... Also, I would like very much to continue our ceased moment from yesterday" The blonde putted Jade's hands on her hips, got into her embrace and whispered in her ear "I supposed it would be fair, so text me the details and I'll be ready and willing" biting gently on her earlobe, feeling goosebumps all over the brunette's arms and letting go of her. "You, Perrie, will be the death of me. I'll text you." She looked at her watch, and walked towards her purse "Unfortunately, I must leave to the office, it was a pleasure to meet you again Leigh and Jesy do please catch you sleep, text me when you arrive home so I know you didn't sleep on the subway" Jade hugged the girls and went out to her work. "So, let's go back to work? And we can keep talking about our mutual friend" Jesy said laughing.

The afternoon was going smooth, and after three hours Jesy was taking Leigh's picture and Perrie was peacefully reading her book while waiting on the other girl, so her phone beeped.
