SIENNA
My sister Monica, Lisa and Michelle my two best friends wanted a night out. I had the short straw with being sober driver but my sister needed a night out. She's been having it tough at work, her man Dylan wanted her to unwind while he had to go away for work
Him going away for work always affects her so I was more than happy to get her out and about
'Please don't let her get too drunk, just enough to enjoy her night out'
I laugh looking down at my phone, I look up smiling at my sister when out the corner of my eye I see him standing in the doorway of the bar
'Are you surprising her?'
I text raising an eyebrow in his direction. I watch him nod his head
'Don't worry bro, even though we've been here for a while, she hasn't had much, you can come over now'
I watch him smile and then frown in our direction
'I'm with a few people, would you be all good if we came over?' This time I frown and shake my head. I gesture him to come over with his friends at the same time as distracting my sister from her boyfriend
"Hey baby" We hear him say to her. She turns her head so fast, she screams in fright before she sighs with a smile "Hello ladies, sis" He smiles to us each in turn
"Who did you come with?" Monica asks
"I bumped into a couple of mates on the way in and I suggested they come with" I smile nodding my head for him to sit with us "I don't know Sis"
"Why?"
"Oh shit is that Jeremy and Caleb?" Lisa voices. I sigh slowly drifting my gaze over to where she was looking and there my ex boyfriend from high school stands with his best friend
"He's been asking about you sis" Dylan says as they make their way over
"How long has he been back?" I ask
"3 years but you've been back in town for 6 months and busy with your new place" He says making me nod my head "He's not seeing anyone if you are wondering"
"I actually wasn't, this time" I tell him sipping on my lemonade
"Ladies" I hear Jeremy and Caleb greet "Sienna" this time I hear Jeremy say my name
I glance at him before looking away. I need to breathe for a moment "Not going to look at me huh?" I sigh turning his way with a smile, chin resting in my hand "Fuck me you are so beautiful" He says making the girls smile at me as I quickly glance away, I watch their eyebrows wiggle at the two of us. I was rolling my eyes at their silliness
"Hey Jeremy, how are you?" I ask. I move over to give him enough room to sit beside me while Caleb sits next to Lisa. Michelle has taken off to the bar where her boyfriend is working to come back with drinks for the table as well as her man
Jeremy and I quickly fall into an easy conversation, his choice of beverage which is beer and mine lemonade. He stared at me for a moment before whispering if I was driving tonight. Nodding my head smiling, I offered him a lift but he declined saying he drove here with Caleb, he needed a beer to settle his nerves in seeing me again. Dylan invited him knowing we both didn't have anything on tonight and he'd be able to catch up with me. He would often lean close as if to hear me better or to say something in my ear
He's different from the lean kid I fell in love with when we were younger. He feels more intense now than he did in our younger days. He has tattoos on his arms, they trail off up his shirt sleeves and make me want to search where they end. Him being this close to me made me feel and want to do things but I don't know this man beside me
