The Choices We Make

Chapter 17

"Sorry, got to dance" Lance says slipping out of the seat "me too" his Mum says and we watch as they make their way to the dance floor.  

As soon as they reach it, they start to dance and they are good.  Moving effortlessly with the music.  People are beginning to watch them as they move and laugh with each other.  

The music changes to an old rock number and Lance with his Mum stand beside each other and starts to move with the beat and soon others have joined them moving the same. They are really having fun. 

A man walks up to Maire and whispers something to her and she shakes her head.  We all watch as P' Mount jumps from the table and walks to the dance floor just as the music changes again. 

He walks up behind Maire and glares at the stranger before leaning forward and whispering something into her ear.  She turns and smiles then they start to dance with each other.  

Lance smiles and keeps on dancing.  I decide to join him even though I'm not as good as he is on the dance floor.  He is pleased when he sees me and we dance together.  

He is great at adapting to the different beats and I just follow his lead enjoying the fact that he is mine. His cast is mostly hidden by his shirt and doesn't seem to be hindering him at all.  

I see Dad and Dennis dancing.  Even P' Ai has gotten up and joined P' Mount and Maire. "I need a drink," Lance pants and we head back to our table.  

I check my phone and see I have a few missed calls from my ex and also some texts. I sigh as I read them 'Bright can we meet?' 'Bright why are you not answering me?' 'Bright' 'I need to talk to you about something, please get in touch' 'I don't feel well' 'please come and pick me up, I've had too much to drink' it's followed by the address. 

"My ex is trying to see me. She is a manipulative bitch and probably thinks we can get back together.  She says she's had too much to drink and wants me to pick her up" I tell Lance 

"You can't leave her out there, if she is drunk. Why don't we both go and take her to a hotel.  Once she's settled, we can leave and come back here" he suggests.  

I think about it and know that it's the right thing to do, but something tells me she is just making an excuse to see me. "I think she might be lying though" I tell him. 

"In that case, we can tell her to stop and leave her" he assures me.  I nod "alright I'll go tell Dad. It's not far from here" I tell him. 

We stand up and I tell Dad.  We leave the club and walk the few blocks to the address of the club she sent me.  We walk in and I see her sitting at a table by the bar.  She doesn't look happy that Lance is with me.  

We walk over to her "you don't look drunk?" I tell Dee my ex "you took that long to come" she begins to whine.  

"As you're alright Lance and I will be going. There is no need for us to be in touch with each other.  We broke up a while ago when you decided to screw another man.  Lance and I are together and very happy" I tell her.  

She stands up and laughs "how could you, be happy with a man?" I look at her then Lance "he made me cum three times last night.  I also know that he won't sleep around.  I'd not touch you with a pole now" I tell her honestly.  

I see her face pinch "let's go Lance, our families are waiting for us" I say "your father knows you're seeing a man?" she cries I don't bother answering just put my arm around Lances shoulders and head towards the exist. 

"Bright get back here, I've not finished yet" Dee shouts. Lance kisses my cheek "you did well but the pole comment might have been a touch to much" he whispers in my ear.  

I laugh as we exist the club and kiss him.  "I love you" I tell him "love you too" he answers as we walk back to join our family.  

We have a great night dancing and laughing.  P' Mount and P' Ai dance a lot with Maire saying they are keeping her safe from the gropers. We get back into the car, tired but happy as we head back to the hotel. 

"I'm a little tipsy" Maire says leaning back against the seat. "I felt hot and flustered last night when I was sitting out on the balcony and heard these two going at it.  Believe me when I say that the balcony doors aren't quiet as good at keeping the sound in.  

Fuuuck! Was groaned a lot. I could even hear them when I went back inside and closed the doors. They kept at it for a few hours that, I thought I was going to have to knock on the door and ask them to stop" she tells everyone. 

Lance and I are a little stunned and shocked that Maire heard us. "You didn't have to share that? Mum" Lance groans "no that wasn't the groans you were making last night" she says making everyone but Lance and I laugh.  

"It's good to know my boy has found someone that can light that kind of passion.  I miss it" she says with a sigh.  

"I did too until recently" Dad says "I'm sure you'll find someone that will ignite it again" he adds patting her knee.  She smiles "thank you" she says. 

"Have any of you had it with more than one person?" P' Mount asks suddenly.  I look at him shocked "I've never thought about it" Lance answers. 

"I have when I was younger.  I was travelling around Europe and ended up in bed with a couple" Dad says. 

"Lance's Father asked me if I was interested, but he was enough for me" Maire says. 

"I've done it with more than one person on a couple of occasions" Dennis says. 

"Once in university my friend and I doubled with a female friend of ours. They are married now" P' Ai says. 

"Well hell! I feel like a bit of an underachiever now" P' Mount says making us all laugh. 

"I'm going to have one more drink before calling it a night anyone going to join me?" Maire asks when we get back "we are going to bed Mum it's been a long day" Lance says kissing her cheek.

"Ai and Mount will drink with you and see you back to your room safely.  Dennis and I are calling it a night too" Dad says.  

We all wave and arrange to meet for a late breakfast.  We travel up in the elevator with Dad and Dennis. Then say goodnight when we reach our room. 

"I really enjoyed myself tonight" Lance says. I wrap my arms around him "the nights not over yet" I whisper in his ear. 

As I began to unbutton his shirt and he unbuttons mine.  We strip each other until we our skin on skin.  We leave our clothes on the floor as we head to the bedroom.
