Nick's POV

I sat at the bar with a double Jack's and coke in my right hand as I swirled the ice around the glass, looking around the almost empty pub. This has been the place I've been visiting every night since that night my life changed in a heartbeat. The moment Lani and I broke up. I know it was probably for the best as I have been feeling and wanting different things, but my heart still hurts like hell.

"I thought I'd find you here." the sound of Izzy's voice and the scraping of the bar stool beside mine had me turn to my left. Izzy is wearing a very tight, short and revealing black dress, she looks gorgeous and I wonder what she has planned for this boring Friday night. She waved her hand to the bartender and ordered a drink and another for me. I frowned and thought she was here to tell me to go home or something, not sit here and drink myself to death. She knows I've been pretty much turning to the bottle for comfort.

"Nothing else to do, what are you all dressed up for?" I asked her and took another scull of my drink, finishing the fifth drink I've had since arriving not even an hour ago.

"Dec and I are having a dirty weekend. As you know, my husband turned twenty five two days ago, so we decided it was time for a kid free sex filled holiday." she chuckled as she reached for the daiquiri she ordered and slurped long and hard on the straw. A fresh larger glass of Jack's and coke was deposited in front of me, which I gratefully took in my hand and took a sip from. I was already feeling the buzz from the alcohol and it has eased some of my pain, but not enough for it to be numb not to feel it.

"Where is my brother in law? Or are you here on your own?" I asked her as I kept my eyes flicking around the room, a few fresh faces have suddenly appeared and some good looking ones too. She better be here with Dec if she's wearing that around the town. There's a lot of creeps around and one look at my lil sis and she'd be in big trouble if they got their hands on her.

"He's over there, I just wanted to see if you're okay." she gave me a sad smile and placed her manicured hand on my arm and looked at me with those sad eyes. I sighed and put my hand on hers and gave it a little squeeze. I love that she took time out of her weekend to see if I was doing alright.

"I'm getting there IsBell. I'm just out to find someone to have some fun with. What's the point in waiting anymore?" I shrugged. As I took another sip, a shiver run through me as I felt a pair of eyes watching me, ones from across the bar. You know, that feeling you get when you know someone is watching you. Izzy noticed as well and turned to me and smiled.

"I think you have a fan Nicky." she whispered and kept her gaze on her husband who was on that same side of the bar as he talked to a couple of guys. I felt my cheeks flush with heat as I take a slow sip on the drink she'd brought me. I admit that my eyes have been wandering around and have been discretely perving on that same person that I can feel looking my way.

"Those eyes are on you." I said as I chanced facing those eyes, and as soon as I looked straight into them, I froze. My body froze still as I soaked in those gorgeous blue eyes, my blood started to pump faster the longer I stared. The way those plump pink lips curved into a breath taking smile, I knew I was done for in that instant. I just can't help it, I shouldn't have looked that way and I know by the morning come, I'm going to regret this. Deep down though, something is coming alive.

"Nicky, you shouldn't be ashamed of it, you know, go and have some fun. I'll never love you less." Izzy's voice was strong and I unlocked my eyes from those blue ones and looked to my twin sister. She was wearing that big beautiful smile that makes her face shine and her eyes were dazzling brightly.
