Chapter Two
Cole POV
It was Saturday morning, today was the day, I went for a run first thing, I had a shower and decided to treat myself to a large breakfast, I had a feeling today was going to be a very long day....
Mitchell Clark POV
I was travelling to London from New York with my best friend and advisor Blake Stone.
My father had invested money into a car shore industries and wanted me to start taking responsibility and to manage the business for the year, and to report back with production feedback, I agreed just to get out of New York, I needed to leave home for a while, my girlfriend decided she wanted more time and not to be settled down so soon, she left me, everywhere in New York, the apartment around me reminded me of Ali, I hated how I feel, I was always in control but this was something I couldn't force, so I wanted to take break and to forget about my Ali, maybe I was running away but I needed to.
"come on lighten up, at least be happy?" trust Blake to find going away a year exciting.
"I'm just glad to get away from New York for a while" which was true, away from her,
"we're going to London, different place, different women, every night" he's grinning like the Cheshire cat, " I just not sure if I'm ready? There's only one woman..." before I could finish "if you say Ali, I swear I will strangle you, forget about her for your sake and mine" that was the thing Blake hated Ali, he tolerated her for my sake, "you just don't know what it is to be in love" and how much it hurts,
"I do, I love all my conquests, but on a serious matter you didn't love her, you think you did, but what you had was company so you were not alone, she had the convenience of your wallet"I clench my fists, I hate the way he talks about her, I know I couldn't win, one thing you can't do was change Blake's mind "let's agree to disagree" was all I replied with, the rest of the plane ride was quiet.
We landed into Heathrow, and then chauffeured to the Goring Hotel. I had a shower and dressed for lunch, I met Blake in the dining suite of the hotel.
"I'm starving, not sure what to have?" I raised my eyebrow "your usual? Blake smirked "and that is?" "burger and fries?" "I do eat that a lot, maybe have something different for a change?"
I shake my head "have what you want?" the waitress came over to take our order, she smiles at me, I keep looking at the menu not paying her any attention.
"hello, my name is Andrea I will be your waitress this afternoon, can I take your order" "I will have a bottle of the house wine, scallops and the loin of lamb" I keep my head in the menu " I will have the same, so make it two bottles" I look up to see Blake smiling at the girl, "of course sir" "call me Blake" the girl smiled at my best friend and walked off.
"stop it" "what? It's the first night and I plan to get drunk" he knew I didn't mean that," I meant the flirting" Blake laid back in his chair and smirked "come on she wanted your attention, and I felt sorry for her and I might get her number" "unbelievable"
Blake smile got bigger "I know"
I sigh for a minute "don't include me in getting drunk?"the last thing I need is a night I can't remember. "it's exactly what you need since it's Valentine's day there will be lots of desperate babes" that totally slipped my mind, "I forgot it was today" this is going to be my worst Valentine's day ever, I should be with her.
Cole's POV
I arrived at Georgina's five hours ago and I have been washed, waxed and plucked and Georgina was now styling my hair. "definitely think it should be left long and loose especially with the style of the dress"
