Chapter 7- There Is No Us

"I can't believe they just showed up like that" Tina says placing a plate on the table. "They were just trying to help their brother" I shrug picking up my fork. "He's a lying cheating asshole. Thought they were your friends. They shouldn't want you back with him" she says.

"They are my friends. Sort of. I don't know. I have missed them but it's weird. How can you be friends with an ex's family" I say. "At least they liked you. Mich's family didn't like me at all and Mike's" she says. "What about them?" I ask. "We haven't told them about us yet. But we will. What did they say anyway?" she asks.

"They just want me to talk to him" I say. "You're not going to. Are you? After what he did" she asks. "No. Of course not" I say pushing the pasta around my plate. The last thing I wanted was to speak to him. I think.

"Food ok?" she asks. "Ya. It's lovely. I'm just tired and not that hungry I guess. Had a long day at work" I say. "You glad to be back?" she asks. "Ya it is. Although it's mad busy. I have a meeting tomorrow that I know nothing about. Since the perspective client hasn't been really forth coming" I say.

"Matt was sweet to send you the flowers" Tina says nodding to the flowers on the coffee table that I had brought home with me. "Yes it was. Think he's trying to cheer me up. He even wants to buy me a late Christmas drink" I say.

"You should go. Matt is fun and sweet and-" Stop right there. He's just a friend" I say.

"No harm in having fun with a friend though" she says. "Maybe" I say. There's no harm I guess.

"Great" I mumble looking up at the hotel. Of all the places it think. My mystery client choses the one place in this city where Cristiano's team stay. I know I won't bump into him at this time but it's still a reminder. One I don't need since this morning, I found a couple of pictures of him and I from when we were in Madeira.

I head to reception and then follow the receptionist's directions to the meeting room. The client didn't give me much details other than he was opening a new restaurant in the City and wanted to see how we could promote it. I'm the first to arrive and I set my laptop on the table and take a deep breath.

I'm usually the support not the main person in these meetings. I'm usually with Josh but he had another meeting at the same time. A meeting I could have done with been at I think.

I look at my watch and see the man is late. I hear the door open and I place my phone on the table.

"Finally" I think. "Hello I'm Lu-" I say but stop.

"Lucy. We know" the voice at the door says and I look at the men.

"What are you all doing here?" I ask in shock. "We came to talk to you about Ronnie" Rio says. "Hell no" I shout and turn to pick up my bag of the floor. "Lucy, please just here us out" Wayne says. "Why should i? Why are you here?" I ask shoving my laptop into my bag.

"We want to talk about you boyfriend" Nani says. "He's not my boyfriend and it's none of your business" I yell. "He's our mate and he misses you" Wayne says.

"Well he should have thought about that before he started seeing that trollop behind my back" I yell.

"Will you just calm down and listen Jezz" Rio says. "Don't you dare tell me me to calm down Ferdinand" I shout. "He's miserable without you" Nani says. "He's just wants to talk to you" Michael says. "So he can tell me a pack of lies. I don't think so" I say. "He's not lying" Wayne says.
