| Part III |
| It had been a week since she'd seen him and frankly she couldn't stand the thought of ever seeing him again. She had told her friend what had happened. Contrary to popular belief, he was a man. All the traits. He could walk out in the middle of the night just as easily as any other. And he did. She was the void that he needed filled whilst his sweetheart was out of town. So much for friendship. Rachel stood in the corner as Erin approached,"You know you're gonna have to come out of here to go home eventually you know that dont'cha?" "Cute Erin. I don't know why I even showed up. You seem to think that I need to be here for some reason." "You do. To show him that he didn't get the upper hand. You have just as much right to be here as he does." "Whatever." "If you'd come out of that corner you just might find that there are men that find you amazingly attractive and want to get to know you and are single to boot." "You had to throw that one in my face didn'tcha?" "Come on Rach. I've seen Howie pass a glance at you more than a few times since we've known him and they were of the more than friendly type too." "Rach!"LeighAnne approached her. "Showtime,"Erin grinned and left the two. Rachel put on a smile; feigning her joy."Leigh! How was the weekend home?" "It was nice but I wished I could have brought my lil Bri-Bear with me. Mom and Dad can't wait to meet him." Her painted on smile was fading but LeighAnne didn't seem to notice."He is every parents dream of what a girl should bring home isn't he?" She was getting a foul flavor in her mouth. Could it be because she didn't believe a word she was saying? "I know. I'm so lucky!" "Speaking of your lil Bri-Bear, where is he?" "You rang?"He approached the two. He wrapped his arms around Leigh's waist. "Hey baby,"she cooed. "You two are sickeningly sweet you know that,"Rachel said disguising her distate for the whole situation. She had become just another woman to Brian. Something she'd never thought would happen. "Can't help it when you're in love as we are,"Leigh responded."So how was my baby while I was away?" She really didn't want to ruin things but dammit he deserved it."Well, you know what they say Leigh." "What's that?" "While the cat's away....." The End |
