Left At The Altar Again

Chapter 7

I spent the whole day, doing paperwork for the deal that Hayden was finalizing tomorrow. I skipped out on lunch because I was too busy. It was nearing 7pm and I was hungry. I left my room and decided to eat downstairs. I sat at the bar and ordered myself a drink and some food, they served me and a guy approached me.

"Bonjour Madame" his thick French accent made me smile.

"Bonjour" I said back

"I can speak English, you know. What is a beautiful woman like yourself doing on her own" he smiled at me.

"Um I'm here with my boss on business. I was hungry so I came for some food" I smiled at him.

"Do you mind if I join you" I shook my head and he ordered himself some food and a drink. His name was Andre, he was kind of cute but nothing compared to. No stop thinking about him.

We chatted and ate; he ordered us some dessert and a cocktail for me. He paid for my food and I thanked him, "I hope you have a nice stay in my hotel it's not very often we get beautiful women such as yourself here" he kissed the back of my hand and took me to my room. I thanked him once again and he left.

I walked further into my room and Hayden was sat on my bed, "Who was that" he asked.

"No one you need to concern yourself with Mr Cole" I said. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Why did you move rooms?" he was so oblivious.

"You" my answer was simple.

"What are you on about what did I do, I had too much to drink I couldn't remember what we did last night, stop acting like it was your first time" I held back the tears, how could he say that.

"Actually I'm still a virgin, that has nothing to do with you anyway SIR please leave" he looked at me confused.

"What?"

"YOU DIDN'T TOUCH ME, I WASN'T THE ONE YOU HAD YOUR HANDS ALL OVER, GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKUL AND GET OUT OF MY ROOM" I huffed and he looked upset.

"Wait so that means I" he paused.

"Yes you f****d someone else" I said calmly "You can leave now Mr Coleman, your meeting is early tomorrow morning" he looked at me but left. I sighed and felt so mad at myself, I shouldn't have shouted at him. Ugh this is so messed up.

The next day was s**t and it was finally time to go home, I wanted to so sight-seeing but I didn't I couldn't, not with him. Hayden hadn't talked to me, since our talk and I was glad. We were loading our luggage into the car and I felt someone tap on my arm.

"Lexi" Andre's voice filled my ear,

"Hello, Andre" he kissed the back of my hand and I smiled at him.

"You are leaving, I wanted to ask you to dinner" he handed me some flowers.

"I'm sorry we are heading back today, perhaps if I come back we could get in touch"

"Alright then" he handed me his personal card,

"Do you give this to many women"

"No you would be the first"

"Lexi" Hayden came towards us.

"Hayden, I knew you were here. How was your stay?" Andre gave Hayden a man hug and I looked between them.

"Um Andre is one of my business partners. Lexi we need to go. I will see you some other time Andre"

"Nice seeing you Hayden, Lexi it was a pleasure, I will be on business in your area in a couple of months perhaps I could come and see you" I nodded and he kissed my hand. He left and I got in the car.

"Lexi" Hayden was looking at me.

"Yes Mr Coleman" he clenched his jaw

"I know I f****d up I spoke to my mates, they put something in my drink stupid idiots. Listen I'm so sorry. And what I said in your room I didn't mean it, I was mad and"

"It's fine Mr Coleman, you have a week off and your mother said she need's you home for your sister's birthday" I was scrolling through all the messages on my phone.

"Lexi will you stop" he snatched my phone off me. "I said I was sorry"

"Because Sorry fixes everything" I mumbled "Jake said sorry I should have just run off with him again" he heard me and scowled.

"Jake's an ass"

"And you're any better; you hurt me worse than he did. I actually though you liked me or at least cared for me. You knew what I had been through, you said you wouldn't disappoint me. But you did"

His eye's glazed over, "I can't have you mad at me, I do really like you. I think I'm falling in love with you"

"How can you say that, I don't believe in love anymore, I'm through with relationships"

"Really that's rich coming from the girl who just got a guy's number and is planning to go on a date with him"

"I told him when I met him I wasn't interested in a relationship so shut your mouth" I snapped.

"Sorry it's not my business"

"No it isn't I can't believe I'm stuck with you for two years" I mumbled,

"Give me one more chance please, I'm begging you Lexi I really like you and I've been hurt too, I had a girlfriend I was going to propose to her but I found out she was having an affair. I thought I loved her but since I met you I know that what we had wasn't love. Love is what we have, I am falling for you hard" he held my hand but I pulled it away. I couldn't do through this again.
