They Vowed: 'Til Death Do Us Part?

Chapter 9: Waiting

Jaxon

I'm still just sitting at the bar. I've had a couple drinks and I'm starting to feel buzzed. I watch Clare as she dances away into the crowd. She ends up in the middle of the dance floor. I've never seen her dance before. It is fascinating to see her let loose. She moves very seductively to the song. Every movement she makes is perfectly executed and I feel like she has danced to this song before. I'm not much of a dancer myself. I can slow dance and that's about it. The song ends and I see her take her jacket off and throw it over her shoulder. She has her drink in her other hand. Its about gone. She starts to make her way back over to the bar, pushing her way through the crowd. I still can't believe what she told me earlier. I wonder what happened. I know she said her husband was with someone else but it's hard to believe. She is so sexy. How could any man cheat on a woman as good looking as her? She is beside me again at the bar and her drink is empty. She puts her jacket on the bar and yells for Ben again. You can tell she is tipsy. Ben comes over to her.

"You already finished your drink?" He asks her.

"Yes. I want another one and will you put my jacket behind the bar please." She asks him with a smile.

"Yes to the jacket and no to the drink. I'm getting you a water. Then you should probably just have beer after that." He says as he takes her jacket.

"I'm a big girl, Ben. I can drink as much as I want." She says giving him a death glare.

"Yes. But I know you. You probably drank before you got here. And three of those is your limit. If you drink anymore you'll pass out and embarrass yourself. You always tell me to cut you off now, so it's your orders I"m following, Boss." He tells her as he goes and gets her a water. She rolls her eyes as he walks away. I can't help but laugh at her reaction.

"What's so funny, Mr. Stalker?" She turns and gives me a dirty look. It only makes me laugh more.

"Someone can't handle their alcohol consumption very well." I tell her, teasing her.

"That's really none of your concern, Mr. Sylvester. Shouldn't you be finding a new victim to seduce?" She says as she looks me in the eye.

"So I'm seducing you now?" I ask her with a smirk.

"Don't play dumb with me. You probably get women in your bed by just looking at them." She says this as she looks away from me.

"Is that what you think? Well I'm flattered." I lean in and whisper this into her ear. She seems to freeze when I do.

"Nothing to be flattered about having desperate women under you." She looks at me and smirks.

"Now that's just mean. If there have been any desperate women in my bed lately, I must have missed it." I tell her because I haven't slept with anyone in several months.

"Sure. Your newly divorced and now you've decided to be abstinent." She rolls her eyes as she says it.

"I haven't decided anything. I just have my eyes set on a certain one." I tell her this and she frowns. Its so cute when she does that.

"They why haven't you got her already then?" She says sounding annoyed. I chuckle.

"Because I don't know if I can get her or if she even wants to be gotten." I smile as I take a drink. Ben comes over and give her the water. She just glares at him and takes a drink.

"Well you'll never know if you don't try, huh?" She says.

"I guess not." I reply and stare at her.

"Do you mind if I smoke?" She asks me.

"Not at all. Do you even have them on you?" I ask her this cause she doesn't have any pockets that I can see.
