Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Chris walked to the VP area to wait for his date. Wait, date? It wasn't a date but a way to apologize to his wife for ever forgetting that her teenage friend was coming back in the country but in a way, he wished that she would call in heal and it will be just him and Maya.

Of course, he wanted to meet Kyle since his wife had talked so much of her. Of how they became best friends and why she loved Kyle so much. That day they had slept past midnight talking only about her friend.

She was on the couch lying there and he was on his bed watching her speak fondly of Kyle and at that time, he was think of him and Wesley wondering if that's how he talked about him. That day would forever remain in his mind and he was happy for the memory. The memory with Maya and him. And he was going to make so many of them from that day forward.

"Sir, what do I get you?" The waitress cut through his thoughts. The music was playing so loudly. And people swayed their bodies on the dance floor.

Chris looked at his waitress for the night and smiled at her. Nothing was going to ruin his night today and most a waitress. Call him arrogant or whatever you may like but tonight was his night.

"Actually, nothing." He glanced at his wrist watch again, "I'm waiting for someone and they'll be here in about two minutes."

He wasn't sure but that was the only minutes remaining for them to be there. He had texted Maya the name of the club three hours ago and switched off his phone. Why, because he didn't want to hear her complain or say she was coming. In fact, that's what scared him the most. But he still had two minutes before he allowed panic attack to take control of him.

"Okay Sir." The waitress said still standing there. "Please excuse me."

Chris let his eyes room at the entrance. They had to walk in any second from then. He sat at the first floor of the club and he could see we from the end of the corner that he was sitting from.

Just then, his eyes caught two women that walked inside the club. One wore a mid thigh pink dress that shouted look at me I'm hot and her hair was in a bun not hiding the shoulders that were free from the material but that wasn't his interest but the woman next to her.

The one who walked like she had never been in a club all her life. She looked scare to walk in those black heels that shouted I'm sexy and you can't do anything about it. As for her long legs, god, even looking at them turned him on way too much than it was necessary.

And now he was looking at her clothing. Of course, it was the dress that he had chosen for her early this morning and now he knew why he never saw her in it despite it being beautiful. It was a black dress that reached almost her knees. Her cleavage hung out just perfectly as he had hoped they would. Their eyes met and his breath was out. He had forgotten how to breath at the moment. He couldn't remember how to do it.

Maya wore makeup something she never did. He had never seen her in a makeup that he had gotten used to seeing her as natural as she was. He smiled, why? Because that was the only thing that he could think off of that moment.

"You made it," Chris said once they walked to him.

"Of course we did." That was the pinky dressed lady whom he guessed was Kyle. "I can never say no for a good club but your wife here, she was about to bail out. Good thing I was there."

Chris chuckled. "And thank heavens for you being there. I'm Chris by the way. Chris Rollins and you must be Kyle..."

"Kyle Edgar and it's really an honour to meet the guy who made my best friend have a crush on him since she was a teenager, in person."

"Kyle, don't you think your giving way too much info?" Maya asked hitting her friend on the ribs.

"Please, I think I want to hear all about that." Chris said pointing for them seats to sit on. "But we've to order first."

"Are we drinking?" Kyle asked earning another glance from her friend.

Chris laughed before saying yes. At this moment, he already knew which among them was the parent and the over grown baby. That's how his relationship with Wesley was, he was the kid while Chris was the parent. Thinking of Wesley, he wished he was there to meet Kyle. They would make a good couple but he was somewhere being laid by a lady he met last week.

The waitress walked to them and took their orders. Chris watched Maya as they eat silently making small talks here and there. Kyle was just as Maya had described her. The one who never stopped talking when she began to do it. She was funny too and he couldn't help but laugh at her small stupid jokes. Maya joined them at times and others, she rolled her eyes and concentrated on her meal.

"... those were us in highschool. And ooh, guess what Maya first heard you on the radio?"

Chris looked at his wife who almost got choked from swallowing her last piece of stake before drinking all the water in her glass.

"He has a beautiful voice." His gaze were locked with hers while saying those words.
