We entered the bar and I was still trying to assimilate what Ana had told me.

"What do you mean super friendly? What do you mean with that?" I said into her ear so she can hear me. Ana looked at me, grabbed my chin between her thumb and forefinger as she turned my face to my left.

"That's what I mean," she said as she released my chin. Alex was sitting on one of the sofas with her back to me, legs crossed, her arm resting on the back of the sofa, completely turned towards a fair-haired, pretty woman who had a hand caressing Alex's arm and a glass of some surely very sensual cocktail in the other hand, totally turned towards Alex, having what seemed the most interesting conversation in the world, they were awfully close. I was in shock, Ana took my hand as she led me to the table where we usually sat down before Alex came into our lives.

"What should I bring my favorite girls from the bar?" Andrew said forcing me to move my eyes away from Alex.

"A gin and tonic for me honey, and for you Emma? Red wine?" Ana asked me with a worried face.

"Double bourbon on the rocks, thanks Andrew" I said giving him the calmest smile I could.

"Ok, we start strong" I heard Ana say softly while running her hand through her eyebrows.

"I need to talk to her, Ana. What do you think that means?" I told Ana when Andrew walked away from the table and pointed to the sofa where Alex was sitting

"I don't know Emma, ​​don't worry about it, try to have a good time tonight" Ana said taking one of my hands in hers.

"Fiiine," I said, watching a stranger on stage sing a Bob Marley song. But, from time to time I couldn't avoid looking towards Alex's sofa, I wanted to be able to look into her eyes and see if she was looking at her as she looked at me. It hurt my stomach to think that it was like that and that something else could happen there, I had to clarify things with Alex, I couldn't let her think that there was something still between me and Jordan.

"Hey, do you guys think that was the girl that Alex had in her bedroom that day?" Andrew said as he put our drinks on the table. I almost chocked with my own saliva, Ana found the comment hysterical.

"No honey, I'm sure it wasn't her. They just met tonight" Ana said as she gave me a look.

"I was going to invite them to sit with us, but I don't want to be a cock blocker" said Andrew, kissing Ana on the cheek while I rolled my eyes, so much that they hurt.

The night passed slowly, Alex was still in the same position with that blonde, until finally Alex got up, to the restroom I supposed, it was now or never, I had to talk to Alex. I got up from my seat and followed her into the restroom, with the bravery of 2 double glasses of bourbon in my blood.

I went in and Alex was in front of the mirror retouching her makeup, why did she need to fix her makeup? It was perfect. Did she wanted to look even prettier for that woman? I shook my head dismissing that thought. Alex looked at me through the mirror, rolling her eyes, putting the lid on her lipstick ready to leave.

"Alex, please I just want to talk to you" I said putting my hands up to silently beg her not to leave. "I don't want to bother you; I know you are in very good company" I said looking at my hands. "But you haven't answered my calls or messages, I just want a minute please, listen to me for a minute and I promise I won't bother you anymore" Alex sighed and motioned for me to continue as she turned towards me and crossed her arms.

"Look, that day in my apartment, I don't know what you thought, but Jordan came without warning and he was just apologizing, he was crying and he hugged me, I felt bad for hi-"
