he gestures to the waiter for the bill. ‘How about we find somewhere to have a dance?’ ‘Sounds good’ I have a need to be in his arms. We approach a bar and walk directly through the queue to the front where the doorman addresses Grant immediately, ‘Evening Mr Fitzgerald’ he calls with a smile directing us through immediately. ‘Good evening Jed’ he returns the smile leading me through the crowds to a VIP area, we stop at a booth where Grant indicates for me to sit. ‘What do you want to drink?’ he enquires politely. ‘A passion fruit mojito if they have it please’ a waiter appears and Grant orders drinks for us. I am bouncing to the music as the drinks are placed in front of us, Grant has a soft drink as he is driving ‘we could have got a cab’ I remind him ‘you could have joined me in a drink’ ‘I am ok, high on life’ he grins wrapping his arms around me and I lean in to him. I feel so content at this precise moment. ‘So when things become challenging I am going to remember how extremely happy I am here and now and attempt to bring things back to this’ I inform him as I nibble his ear. I feel him suck in a breath as he inhales me, ‘you belong with me Abi’ he whispers before I hear someone call. ‘Get a room Stephens’ I glance up to view Bella and Mike standing beside us. ‘Hi’ I smile back before searching Grant’s face ‘did you arrange this?’ I enquire and he winks ‘thought you may want to bump and grind with your pal for a bit’ I squeeze his thigh in gratitude as we all squeeze into the booth. Bella and I are giggling from all the cocktails we have consumed moving to the music on the dance floor as the boys look on, Mike is grinning and Grant is shaking his head. Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn to find David from the bar Bella and I drank in a week ago. ‘Hey’ he calls and I smile up at him taking in his smart appearance and handsome face. ‘Hi David, how are you doing?’ he is a decent man in different circumstances perhaps… ‘Good, you didn’t call’ he states his eyes twinkling. ‘No I didn’t, I am sorry I did tell you I wouldn’t be calling’ I smile ‘but thank you David’ I reach up and kiss his cheek. ‘No worries, take care Abi’ he rubs my arm and turns away. ‘Whoops’ Bella smiles at me. ‘He was a good guy just not for me’ I inform her. ‘Most certainly not for you he wouldn’t screw you on the desk as I remember’ she giggles and I join in until a pair of arms surround me. I glance up into Grant’s eyes and note he is anxious, ‘hey handsome’ I wrap my arms around his middle. ‘Hey, a secret admirer?’ he requests. ‘That was David enquiring why I hadn’t called him’ I inform him honestly ‘the guy from the bar last week and no I didn’t moan when he kissed me because I never allowed it to go that far’ I lean up and nibble his chin ‘how could I when I am in lust with you’ He gazes down at me swaying us against the music ‘I am in love with you Abi’ he whispers and my heart flutters, I grab his face and pull it down to mine as I kiss him gently amongst all the bodies swaying on the dance floor. Before I have a chance to deepen the kiss Grant stops me and grins ‘not here’ before guiding me back off of the dance floor. ‘This is one of mine’ he mutters in explanation ‘I don’t want anyone seeing my woman in the throes of passion’ ‘Your woman eh? Are you a secret caveman Grant?’ I tease despite my heart somersaulting at his possessive words. ‘Absolutely, be careful I don’t throw you over my shoulder and take you back to my cave’ ‘You can if you wish’ I flirt and he grasps me pulling me to him and I sigh ‘it feels so right’ I breathe and he nods. ‘Come on let’s go’ he mumbles waving a hand to Bella and Mike who are wrapped around each other on the dance floor, they wave back grinning. We pull into the underground car park
