Meant to Be

Go with it

“Gwen, how are you? Long time?” He said to her as he held my hand “Yes, it is, I thought you were not in the country, when did you come back?” She asked him looking at me and him briefly

“I was not, I only came back five days ago,” He said to her smiling widely at her

“Okay that’s great, who is she?” The woman asked wanting to know me, at that moment I wanted to introduce myself but he squeezed my hand making me stop

“She’s my girlfriend, her name is Myra…... Babe this is Gwen, our families are family friends” He said to her and I faked a smile at her

“Nice to meet you, Gwen,” I said going with the flow as I looked at Calvin

“Nice to meet you,” She said shifting her attention to Calvin, I could tell she was really upset looking at us

“When will I see you again? Maybe we can catch up over a drink?” Gwen said and he looked at me, pulling me closer to him

“I will have to see as we already have plans to travel out,” He said to her and I was just looking at him wondering why he was lying to her

“Okay no problem, just give me your number then maybe….” She wanted to say but he cut her short

“Can we catch up later?  It seems her dress is getting dry and I would really like if she could quickly get into something else” He said trying to brush her off, she looked at me and I nodded my head with a grin on my face

“It was nice to meet you but we really have to go,” I said to her as she smiled briefly as I started to walk away with Calvin

“See you around,” Calvin said as he held my hand, we walked away until we reached the bathroom.

“So, who is she?” I asked him as I entered the bathroom wiping my body

“Long story, I hope you are fine with it that I briefly used you,” He said to me but his voice sounded like he was a little bit sad

“Here’s your dress,” He said opening the door and handing it to me

“Thanks, but I wouldn’t use the word ‘Used’ it sounds like you are don't owe me anything,” I said to him as I changed into the dress.

“Well you are right I owe you,” He said sounding a bit low

“Well, you can repay it by buying me some good beer and finding a handsome man for me,” I said walking out of the room with the bag with the other dress I looked at him with a smile on my face, he lifted his head and swallowed hard looking at me

“That’s not a problem, I can get you both,” He said to me staring as I nodded my head, the dress was a red bodycon dress that had small straps and was just an inch above my knee

“Great! Let’s go” I said to him about to leave when he stopped me, “Wait!” He said making me standstill as he went behind, I felt him gently pull my hair together

“your neckline is not visible enough,” He said and I laughed walking with him

“Thank you! Now the alcohol?” He said as he led the way to the bar, he helped me sit down and he ordered wine for me and himself a non-alcoholic drink

“Wait I thought you wanted to drink?” I asked him as he looked at my glass, “Well I still need to drive myself back home” He said to me as I nodded my head sipping from my wine “You haven’t finished the end of your deal…. I don’t see any man here” I said pulling me him close

“That’s because he's standing here,” He said and I chuckled looking at him as I shook my head, “That’s cheating…. You didn’t say it was you” I said to him laughing as he smiled

“Well, I did say I can get you both!” He said and I just laughed looking at him. “You are a liar,” I said to him as he chuckled sipping from his drink. We went on drinking chatting about different things before I finally decided to go and look for Tasha because I was feeling a bit tipsy

“should go now! I am sure my friend by name is tired looking for me” I said to him as he helped me stand up

“No problem, I can help you look for her” He offered me but I shook my head “No! I need to go alone, she will ask me stupid questions when she sees you” I said to him as started to walk away, “I will see you around,” I said smiling at him as I staggered looking for Tasha. I couldn’t believe that I met a man who had just a chat with me without talking about s*x or even having such thoughts about him.

"Hey, Where have you been?  I looked everywhere for you and where did you get this dress? "  Tasha said to me as I walked  up to her

"Why?  I can take care of yourself" I said to her smiling at her and she rolled her eyes "Yeah right! One might wonder what kind of taking caring" she said and I smiled at her if only she knew the person I was with

"Don't worry I was with a very handsome man and had some fun!" I said smiling at her, and she looked at me like I was not sane enough

"Did you have s*x?" She said whispering to me and I shook my head, "Nope! Just chatting, now why don't we go on and find something else to do" I said winking at her as I started dancing following the rhythm of the song which was playing. Tasha looked at me and shook her head as i walked ahead of her
