Chapter 10

Helen

After the speeches the MC announced it was time for the first dance. Thank God this is almost over. I didn’t know who I’ll be dancing with knowing my sister she might have put me with someone that couldn’t dance but to my surprise Johnny walked closer and gave me his hand, “May I” “Yes” He took me in his arms and we danced we didn’t speak we just danced it seemed like both of us just wanted to get the nitty gritty stuff out of the way. When we took our second round around the dance floor, we pulled in other people to join in the dancing then we both moved away from the dance floor. I was moving towards the bar in desperate need of a gin and tonic I ordered my gin and tonic and turned around looking at the people around me that is when I saw Johnny approaching me, fuck he was gorgeous with those black hair and green eyes those eyes that look hungry for me. As he approached and I looked at him I could feel all the old feeling and new feelings stirring inside me. “At last, alone.” He said when he got to me, I looked around and said “If you can call this alone.” “Okay should I say we are gone from the happy bride and groom.” “Fuck what was that?” I asked him. “I don’t know I’m only hear for you.” That took my breath away so forward and direct I didn’t even know what to say so I just looked at him. He took his finger and close my mouth. “We don’t want a fly flying into your mouth, would we?” I shook my head. Then I got my voice back. “What do you mean you are only here for me?” We were interrupted by the groom ordering a scotch on the rocks. Both Johnny and I looked at him as he downed the one glass and asked for another. “Shouldn’t you take it easy?” I asked him “Mind your own fucking business Helen you fucked up my best Italian loafers.” Before I could even say anything, Johnny grabbed his arm “Jake if you ever talk to her like that again I will beat the shit out of you, you hear me.” “Chill man.” Jake said. “I won’t apologize.” I just looked at Jake waiting for my apology. “Sorry Helen.” He didn’t really mean it but I was the bigger person “Apology excepted now get back to your bride.” He made a funny sound before he left again.

When we where alone again, I got my drink and Johnny’s his, “You want to go and sit outside, we have a lot of catching up to do.” Johnny ask. “Okay.” A lot of catching up to do, what does that even mean. He never even notices me when we were younger why would he want to catch up now? That was the thoughts that went through my head but I wasn’t going to say no for alone time with Johnny Moore my crush. We got a place outside at a heater, he pulled out the chair for me and waited for me to sit before he took a seat himself. “So how are you?” he asked “Well except for this circus I’m good and you?” “Good, busy.” “Busy is good. What do you do now?” I had to ask although I do know. Cyber stalking and all that although he doesn’t put much on social media, like me. “I’m a stock broker and you?” “Also finance but I’m a PA for a CEO at a Financial company in the heart of Chicago.” “Oh, wow funny we haven’t seen each other before today.” “Why?” I asked surprised. “I also work in Chicago in the heart like you call it.” “Oh yes.” “Why aren’t you working for your father’s business?” he asked. “That is a deep question.” “Really it is?” He asked surprise. “Yes, in a way. My dad is old school he wants a man to take over the company and I’m rebelling by not working for his company because he doesn’t want to give the company to me or put me in a managing role.” “Oh, okay I understand now. The deep part.”

Johnny

When Jake was so rude to Helen, I wanted to knock him on his ass right there but I couldn’t it was still his wedding although he really didn’t want to be there. Helen and I were talking about work and what we did for a living I really thought she would be working at her dad’s firm I knew she was in finance but I agree with her work for another place if you are not appreciated at the family. “Johnny, can I ask you something?” “Yes. off course anything?” “Anything.” “What did you mean when you said you where only here for me?” I took her hand in mine and turned it around playing with the inside of her hand. Moving my hand up and down on her palm teasing her, not breaking eye contact while I did it. Her eyes got bigger and bigger than I pulled her closer to me and whispered in her ear, “Remember when you caught me balls deep in your sister?” I could see she wanted to deny it but she was clever enough not to “Yes it’s stained in my brain.” “Well, I wished it was you. The whole time I was fucking your sister I was thinking of you. I wanted you to caught us. Your sister locked the door I unlocked it and made sure to make noises for you to come and see what was going on.”

“Fuck Johnny, I never thought you would be so cruel I would have expected it from Jake or anyone else but never from you never.” She said while standing up to walk away from me crying. “Fuck No Helen wait let me explain sorry I’m doing it all wrong.” She turned around crossed her arms over her beautiful breast and said “Fine I’ll listen.”
