A shiver ran through my spine at the sound of the voice.
I turned around only to see the last person I ever expected to see.
His handsome face was really close to mine, his hot breath fawned my neck and his lips brushed lightly against my ear as I turned to get a clearer view of him.

He wore a white t-shirt and black trousers, and looked like he was fully suited not too long ago.

He looked much more attractive than the last time I saw him. Then again I hadn't really paid much interest in his appearance when we last met or rather danced.

"Hello again." his masculine voice sounded in my ear.

"Hello to you too."

"You never seem to be happy when I'm around." he said as he took a seat beside me.

"Trust me its not you." I said, then took a sip out of my glass of water and crossed my legs.

"I've heard that before. So enlighten me."

"I was dragged here by my friends."

"I don't see them around."

"Yeah apparently they ditched me. You should too, I'm not exactly fun." I stretch the 'fun' to lay emphasis.

He chuckled lightly.

"You look fun to me." he winked.

We both threw our heads back in an outburst of laughter.

"I knew I'd see you again."

"How so?" I ask raising a brow

"I just knew."

"Or you were stalking me." I add in for him.
"You know I never got your name."

"Scott."

"Scott." I say slowly, playing out his name on my lips

"It sounds nice when it comes from you." he says smirking.

I softly smiled at him.

"So what brings you here Scott."

"I was stalking a certain beautiful brunette in quest for her attention."

"Really?" I dramatically place a hand over my chest
"Well she must be really attractive to have caught that much of your attention."

"Trust me she is."

Just then his phone rang and he excused himself to pick it up.
Soon enough he came back with a slight frown playing on his lips.

"I have to go." he said clearly not happy with his declaration himself.

I frowned, just when I was beginning to enjoy his company.

"It's okay." I managed to force a smile.

" I wish I could stay ." he says throwing me a heart warming smile.

Me too

"Till next time love." he pecked me on my forehead and left.

Then it hit me, I didn't have his number. Still I had the feeling that this won't be the last I'll see of him.

I felt someone tap me on my shoulder abruptly, I whipped my head towards the tappers direction .

"Sorry didn't get your number." he flashed his perfect set of white teeth at me.

I laughed as I typed in my number into his phone.

"Thanks love." He winked and left for real this time.

------******--------

Hugh drove us home since we arrived with him although Matt had offered to drive us home. I had to decline seeing I couldn't trust what a very drunk Laura could do.

The drive back was awfully quiet. Laura dozed off the moment the engine purred to life, leaving me with an unusually quiet Hugh.

He had been missing through out the night only to reappear when we were about to leave. I didn't want to pry in his personal affairs so I didn't question him on his where about.

Hugh was an open book so if he was acting all weird and being so quiet, it had to be something serious.

When we arrived, he helped me carry her up to her room,still not saying anything. We managed to drop her on the bed without waking her up.

"So goodnight," he said as he pecked me on my forehead
"take good care of Laura bear now"

"I will. Take good care of yourself too."

He smiled but it wasn't genuine.
Something was definitely up.

"Yeah." he muttered under his breath as he took his leave quickly .

Not long after Hugh left, Laura woke up. Just after I had finished changing.

"Mommy I'm hot!" she whined.

She was sitting upright on the bed and was sweating profusely even though the air conditioner was on.

I walked towards her and helped her get out of her clothes and managed to slip on a nightgown on her after cleaning her up.

It was like I was taking care of a baby and I have never imagined myself with children before. She was so whinny and demanding. She's lucky I love her enough to be pampering her like a child.

"You look so much like my friend Kat," she giggled girlishly "she's really great, but I'm keeping something from her." she whispered in my ear.

She's keeping something from me? what could it possibly be. We had a no secrets rule and she broke it. Then again its probably just the alcohol talking for her.

"Tell me I won't tell anyone." I whispered in her ear.

She giggled some more

"I ..We ...h—" she began , not making sense at all.

"I we he?"

"Yesssss!" she exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air like she just won the lottery.

"Yes?" I was totally confused.

"I don't feel so good," she said clutching her stomach.

I quickly pull her into the bathroom and she began throwing up with me holding her hair back while she did.
Its a good thing we got here on time cause cleaning someone else's vomit is definitely not on my list of things to do.

Guess no secrets would be spilt tonight.
