Lance eyes gone open wide.

„You are with T!!! I knew it!!!“

„Yes, but this is not the right moment to spread the news. This night is about Lucy and Joey.“ 

„And what about C?“

„It’s too late.“

Lance sighed.

„Look, I understand you have still feelings for T. But C is your husband. You have a kid. Don’t you think he deserves a chance to make things right?“ 

„No, he doesn’t! He left me!“

„Because he needed time to figure things out.“ 

„I can’t believe you’re defending him! It was you who helped Justin to make me fall for him!“ 

„I know but the circumstances changed. C feels ready to be a husband and father. I’m not trying to convince you going back to him. But you should think about it before you make a final decision.“ 

„Lance, listen. My feelings for Justin are real. I love him.“ 

Lance looked at her for few seconds.

„But you love C, as well.“ 

„Yes, I do. But I’m not breaking Justin’s heart just because Josh changed his mind out of the blue.

Eve left Lance alone and went to the bar inside the ballroom for a strong drink.

„Vodka on the rocks.“ She said to the bartender. 

He served her drink and watched her emptying the glass in one go.

„Another one.“ She said.

The bartender filled up. Eve drunk her drink and then returned to the table. She felt Josh’s eyes on her, while Justin was engrossed in conversation with Chris about his promo tour. 

„Keep your hands where I can see them.“ She whispered into Josh’s direction.

Then she begun eating her dish. 

Josh smirked.

„Can’t promise you that…“ 

„In case you forgot, we aren’t together anymore.“ 

„But I like how your skin feels under my fingers…“ 

Eve felt a cold shiver running down her spine. She hoped he didn’t notice. 

„This is completely inappropriate.“ 

„Why?“ 

„Because you left me. And now you play with my feelings like nothing ever happened.“ 

Josh immediately regretted his bold behavior. 

„I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to play with your feelings, Eve.“ 

„It’s okay… just let it be…“ 

„Can we talk somewhere privately?“ 

Eve looked at him. 

„Why?“ 

„There are things I need to tell you.“ 

„This is my best friend’s wedding, Josh. You didn’t talk to me for two months, so I guess it can’t be that urgent.“ 

After dinner Eve was talking to Lucy about some wedding related stuff, when Joey suddenly joined them. Eve looked at him and rolled her eyes, as he was giving her a dirty grin again.

„Joseph… just say what you have to say…“

„You and T, hm?“ He teased. 

„I told him.“ Lucy confessed. 

„I’m aware of that. But your husband keeps secrets from you, my dear.“

Joey gave Eve an outraged look. Lucy looked at Joey, waiting for explanation.

„I have no idea what she is talking about, love. Your maid of honor must have drank too much.“ He replied. 

„I know you talked to Josh about me.“ Eve said. 

„So what? He’s my bro. Talking about girls is what we do.“ Joey defended himself.

„What did he say?“ Lucy wanted to know. 

„He said he wants her back.“

Lucy’s eyes went open wide.

„Wait a moment… does it mean his memory is back?“ 

„Unfortunately its not. But C is ready to do life with her. What he doesn’t know is, that his wife is busy with Justin now.“ 

„Eve? How do you feel about it?“ Lucy asked excited. 

„It’s like your husband said. I’m busy with Justin now.“ 

Justin went to the bar for a drink and waited to place his order. Eve showed up in the same moment. 

„Mr. Bond…“ She said temptingly, coming closer. 

„Ms. Moneypenny.“ He replied, giving her a deep sexy look. 

„Are you thirsty?“ She flirted. 

„You have no idea how much…“

„What can I bring you?“ The bartender asked.

„What do we drink, James?“ Eve said, gazing at Justin. 

„Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred.“ 

The bartender raised one eyebrow, before he disappeared. Eve and Justin smiled at each other. 

„You are so beautiful that it hurts, M…“ He complimented her. 

„And you, Sir, just made my panties wet…“ 

„You better stop talking to me like this…“

„Or what?“

„I’m gonna take you right here, right now, no matter who’s watching…“ 

„I like the imagination…“ 

„Eve… last warning…“ 

The bartender served their drinks and brought them back to reality. Carefully they clinked glasses and took a sip. 

At the same time Josh was engrossed in conversation with Lance and Chris. 

„Okay. I’m all in. But where is T?“ Josh asked. 

All of them looked through the room and finally found Justin with Eve at the bar. They were enjoying their drinks and exchanging deep glances. 

„Guys… do you see what I see?“ Chris asked. 

„If you mean the sexual tension between Eve and T, the answer is yes.“ Lance replied. 

Both looked at Josh now, waiting for his reaction. 

„Are you saying T is hitting on my wife?“ Josh said. 

„I’m saying nothing.“ Lance replied, not daring to share the latest news. 

„He’s dressing her off with his eyes, dude.“ Chris said. 

„Why isn’t Eve mad at him anymore? He told me, that he messed things completely up with her.“ Josh asked. 

„T made things right after his gig in my club.“ Lance explained. 

„Eve saw his gig?“ 

„She’s his fangirl.“ Chris explained. 

„My wife is his fangirl?“ 

„Yap.“ Chris said. „And if you don’t do something, she’ll get laid tonight.“  

Josh looked at his friends, before he decided going to the bar to spoil whatever was happening between Eve and Justin.

„This night will be very interesting.“ Lance said, watching him disappear. 

„What are you trying to say?“ Chris asked.

„Look… I shouldn’t tell you that but… the eagle already has landed…“ 

Chris stared at Lance with his eyes wide open.

„No… don’t tell me that Eve and T…“ 

„Yes. And it’s pretty serious.“

„Why the fuck no one told me???“ 

„It’s confidential.“ 

„Oh really?! And why you know?!“ 

„Eve confessed when I met her at the bathroom.“ 

„This is insane!“

„Why would you say that?“ 

„Look, I’m aware of the fact, that C broke things up with her. But it doesn’t give T the right to have her!“ 

„Why not?“ 

„Come on, dude! She’s still his best friend’s wife! This is completely wrong!“

„It’s interesting how you see things now, comparing how you felt about the same situation when C was in coma.“

„I was okay about them being together, because I believed C wouldn’t wake up. But he did. And the only right thing to do for Justin was stepping back. That’s why I don’t understand why he’s back in the game now!“ 

Lance sighed.

„For some reason T believes C went back to Jen. That’s why.“

Chris frowned. 

„Did he???“

„No, he didn’t. There must be some kind of misunderstanding between both of them.“  

„What else do you know, hm?“ Chris asked eagerly.

„I know from Joey, that C wants Eve back.“ 

„I can’t believe all of this! Why is no one talking to me about anything?! All of you suck so much!“

„Dude, you’ve been busy with your stuff, barely talking to any of us in the last couple of months.“ 

„That’s a fucking lame excuse!“ 

„Come on bro, it’s not like we did that on purpose.“

„I hate you!“ 

„No, you don’t. Now stop pouting.“ 

Chris and Lance looked to the bar now, seeing Josh talking to Eve and Justin.

„What do you think will happen, when C finds out?“ Chris asked.

„We will need to help him to get away with murder and our reunion plans will be gone for good.“
