How Deep is Your Love

Chapter Two: Forgetting For Tonight

“Come on Aliona, por favor,” Dr. Tina Yang begged her friend, who was changing out of her scrubs after a twelve hour shift at the hospital where they worked; the blonde wanted nothing more than to go home and relax.

“Tina, I just want to go home and see the twins,” Dr. Aliona Garcia said tiredly, she wished that she could join her friends from the hospital whenever they had a night out but being a single parent restricted that.

Tina pouted making the blonde sigh as she tied her hair back, she felt guilty knowing that if she agreed now that she’d have to ask her parents to watch her children; it didn't seem right to leave the twins with her parents so that she could have a night out.

“I’d have to ask my parents if they would watch the twins tonight,” Aliona conceded slightly making Tina grin as she hugged her friend before she dashed off to tell the others that Aliona would be joining them.

Aliona’s parents would agree to watch their grandchildren, they worried about Aliona was missing out because she was a single parent and would do anything to make sure that their daughter could enjoy her life as well as motherhood.

The blonde sighed as she picked up her back-pack and left the changing room, she flashed a smile at a couple of nurses that were just starting their shifts.

“Aliona… we’re heading into the city tonight and we have a hotel booked,” Tina said as she linked their arms making the blonde nod as they walked out of the hospital; Madrid Mountain Ridge Hospital was the only hospital in the area before you headed into the city, which was at least an hour away.

Brushing her blonde hair out of her green eyes and sighed as she watched her friends have fun, Aliona wished that she had stayed home with her children; she didn't really like night clubs.

Aliona had dressed in a black midi bodycon dress in lace with V-neck paired with black metal trim heeled sandals and a black patent clutch bag for the night out since her friends often complained that she didn't dress up for their night outs.

Leaning against the bar, she sipped on the drink that one of her colleagues had bought her once she had arrived; she didn't really drink and never had so she was drinking it slowly as she watched her friends.

It was only when the bartender behind her spoke that she realised that there was someone leaning against the bar next to her.

“Listen… I think you have had enough,” the bartender said making Aliona glance at the man who was standing next to her.

The blonde watched as he clutched the empty glass in his hand before she looked at the bartender and flashed him a small smile; it was clear that the man beside her was completely drunk and she felt her doctor and maternal nature take over.

“I’ll watch him,” she offered making the bartender look at her for a moment before he nodded and move back down the bar to serve other people, Aliona knew that her friends would soon forget that she was with them and probably leave her at this bar anyway.

“I’m Aliona,” the blonde said as she looked at the man, she couldn't help admire him even in the poor light of the bar; he was the sort of man that she used to go for before she had the twins.

The man looked at her for a moment is deep brown eyes holding so much sorrow that Aliona felt her heart go out to him; she watched as he blinked a couple of times before he spoke.

“Iker Fernández,” he said making the blonde nod, she didn't recognise the name but she had a feeling that she knew him from somewhere; she watched as he looked down at his empty glass and frowned.

“You want to talk about it?” she asked, she remembered being the same when Daniel had walked out on her while she was pregnant with the twins.

Iker shook his head as he ran a hand through his tussled brown hair, he looked at Aliona again before tilting his head; he didn't understand how she didn't know who he was.

“Why are you talking to me?” he slurred making the blonde sigh as she set down her own barely touched glass, she watched him for a moment before glancing back at her friends; who seemed to have forgotten about her already.

Iker followed her gaze for a moment and frowned when he realised that she had left her friends to come and sit with him.

"Everyone needs someone to talk to,” Aliona said softly making him look back at her. The two stared at each other for a moment before Iker sighed and started to mess with the glass that he held in his hand.

“I just want to forget… just for tonight,” he murmured making Aliona nod as she watched him; she felt sorry for him since she knew whatever had happened had been bad.

The two were silent before Aliona set down his glass and prepared to take him home, she knew that she couldn't just leave him like this in the nightclub without him causing some sort of problem.

“Come on… let’s get you home,” the blonde murmured making Iker nod as she led him out of the nightclub and into the cool evening air; she furrowed her brow for a moment wondering how she was getting him back to his home.

“I drove here,” he murmured making the blonde nod before he carefully pulled her toward the back Audi RS5, which was parked in the car park. Aliona stared at it while Iker fished out his car keys; however she stopped him before he got into the driver’s side.

“I’ll drive, I don’t need you wrapping this beauty around a tree trunk on the way home,” she said before moving to help Iker into the passenger side and taking the car keys from him.

He watched her for a moment before complying with what she wanted, the brunette was suddenly glad that she didn't drink that much.

Helping Iker into his bed, Aliona brushed some of her hair from her face as she prepared to leave before Iker stopped her; sitting up the best that he could, the Spaniard stared at Aliona for a moment.

Carefully he allowed his hands to roam the silky material of her dress before he cupped her face.

“Gracias,” he murmured before he kissed her softly pulling the blonde to straddle his hips as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

Aliona gently pulled her lips from his, allowing Iker to kiss down her neck as she tried to clear her thoughts; she hadn’t been with a man since Daniel and that had been four years ago.

“Iker, we shouldn’t,” she murmured as she tried to fight her body’s joy at finally being touched by a man in an intimate fashion such as this; the Spaniard ignored her words as he slowly trailed his hand up her bare thighs.

“Just for tonight,” he said making the blonde swallow as he found her sweet spot and started to suck on it.

She knew that she should return home or at least head to the hotel that her friends were staying but she couldn't bring herself to pull away from the Adonis that was worshipping her neck.

“Just for tonight,” she murmured making Iker nod as he slowly pulled her back onto the bed and rolled on top of her; he needed to forget all the pain that Sara had caused when she had torn out his heart and Aliona was offering him that chance, even if it was just for that night.

Iker pulled her dress over her head and kissed down her body, he drunkenly noted that he didn't feel any guilt for what he was about to do with the blonde.

Aliona bite her lip wondering if she would regret this, she had never been the one night stand type and yet here she was falling into bed with someone she didn't know and had met an hour before.
