I Loved You Darling (Life As I Know It Sequel)

Drinking Too Much

Chris POV

This was too weird for me. All I wanted to do was grab her and kiss her. Tell her how much I missed her and how sorry I am for fucking up. But I didn't want to do that and have her run away again.

This was the first time in my life I felt completely hopeless about a situation and unable to talk to someone about it. I watched as everyone was getting dressed up and getting ready to go out for dinner and some drinks. Think I'll sit this one out.

They were talking and bullshiting around when there was a knock on the door. Balz opened the door and Shelby walked in. God she took my breath away. She was all done up and the dress looked beautiful.

Shelby's POV

"Well aren't you all just a bunch of handsome fuckers". "Your not too bad yourself". Balz snaked an arm around me and hugged me tightly.

I noticed Chris relaxing on the bed not dressed at all just spacing out with his eyes glued to his phone. I quietly crawled up and peaked up over the phone. "Boo!". His expression didn't even change. "Ah, oh god you scared me". "Why aren't you dressed up like these handsome fuckers?". "I'm not going". "Why not?". "Cause". I pressed my mouth into a hard line. "Well you have two choices you can go and have a good time or I leave and you don't get the video article in the magazine... Not to mention you more then likely won't see me again". "There are other magazines..". "Get dressed or I'll cut your balls off in your sleep". His eyes went wide as he grabbed clothes and headed to the bathroom.

I walked to the door and knocked. "Can I come in?". "Uh sure". I hopped up on the sink trying to not notice all his tattoos as he buttoned up his shirt. "Listen I just wanted to talk to you for a minute". "Alright". "I know things ended very rocky but I would love to get along and put that behind us while I'm here". He sighed and then smirked. "Maybe some time soon you and I can sit down and talk? All I can say right now is I'm very sorry for everything Shelby". I smiled as he held out his hand to help me down.

*******

Chris POV

We went out to this restaurant and they had a couple drinks. Shelby on the other hand was putting them back, like really putting them back. I've never seen her drunk but she was definitely on her way there. I wanted to say something but I wasn't her mom and I didn't want to pissed her off.

She said she was going to use the restroom then go have a cigarette and she would be back in. Shortly after Max got up and said he was going to go have one as well. As soon as he was out of distance we went back to conversation. "So how do you feel about him Chris?". "What do you mean? I don't even know him". Balz smirked. "He obviously has it out for Shelby, he went out to have a cigarette after she did". I shrugged my shoulders. I didn't want to make anything of it. "Let's grab the check, I'm exhausted and she is drunk".

We swiped our card and headed out. When coming out the door I saw Shelby talking and then Max grab Shelby's wrist hard and pull her into him and kissed her. She pushed him away instantly and hit him across the face. "Don't ever touch me". Balz quickly grabbed her and held her from attacking him as I got into between Max and Shelby. "What the fuck was that, don't grab her like that and kiss her". He got defensive quickly. "I kissed her that's it!". "You grabbed her wrist and kissed her without her permission". "What is your problem bro! Your mad at me when she sends mix signals and acts all innocent but is a fucking slut". "What the fuck did you just say!". I got in his face screaming. "I'm not your fucking bro and don't fucking come near her again. In fact..."

I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. I put the phone to my ear and listened to the ringing. "Megan? This is Chris. Listen we are having an issue with your film guy Max. He just assaulted Shelby by grabbing her and kissing her without permission and then called her a slut among with having issues with us. I no longer want Max following with us anymore. We have someone that will record the tour and the footage you need but we won't do it if he is the one filming". She sighed. "Alright, can you hand Max the phone please?". He was pissed as he got the phone listening to her. "You've got to be fucking kidding me Megan! This is bullshit! Well fuck you then".

He tossed my phone and started cussing me out. "Real mature, rat me out to my boss". "No women should not feel uncomfortable with who they work with and we don't want her around you. With that said were leaving and you can take your own cab. We will help you put the camera and other stuff in our bus in the morning before you leave"
