Jamie's P.O.V

I had been miserable for the last few days I am not going to lie. I have not seen or spoken to her. I did try a couple of times but then gave up because I knew it was not going to get me anywhere. Maybe she was right, this was for the best for both of us. I may as well get used to the idea because I don't think I will be seeing her again.

And tonight Kane and I were going out for a few beers because he knew I was miserable. I told him about Mila. I had to talk to someone about it and I knew he would be the only one that wouldn't think I was crazy for feeling this way especially since I only got out of a serious relationship a few weeks ago and then became smitten with Mila so quickly. It had been a crazy few weeks. Tonight I was going to go out and try forget about it all, maybe hook up with someone to take my mind of Mila, then again I have never really been one for random hook ups or one night stands. That one night I had with Mila that was different, that was no normal one night stand. Maybe I wouldn't hook up with anyone, just get drunk. I headed out to the waiting cab, going to meet Kane.

"Hey buddy how you doing?" he asked as I walked up to the table

"Getting there, you?" I asked sitting down

He already had a drink ordered for me.

"I am good buddy...we can have a few beers then go grab some food?" he suggested

"Sounds good." I smiled taking a sip from my Scotch

"You heard from her?" Kane asked

"Nope! Not a word since the morning when she left." I said sighing "I am gonna just give up, there is no point she wants nothing to do with me." I added

I had to accept that, there is nothing else I can do. I can't even hire her for the night cause if she seen me this time she would walk away, I knew she would so there was no point.

"I am sorry buddy..." he said patting my shoulder

"Somethings aren't meant to be I guess." I said trying to shrug it off "I don't even understand what I am feeling for her, it is crazy, and we only spent a couple of nights together." I added

"There is clearly something there." He said "If you and Mila are meant to be then the both of you will come together again." He added

"God only knows. Anyway enough about me, what has been going on with you?" I said not wanting this night to be about me, I am not that way inclined.

He caught me up on what has been going on his life, with work. It was helping me take my mind off things.

I was feeling better as Kane and I sat down for dinner with a couple of woman we met at the bar, Kane working on one of them, the other one was married, I was not interested in her, she was not interested in me but we were getting along well, in a friendly way.

"How long have you been married?" I asked her

"Six years, was only nineteen when I got married, got together when we were sixteen. Everyone said we were too young but we proved them wrong." Christina said

"Wow! That is amazing." I smiled

"What about you?" she asked

"I was with someone for a long time but it ended badly." I said sadly

"I am sorry, must not have meant to be." She smiled and I nodded

I was enjoying chatting with Christina she was very nice and smart. Plus it was helping me not to have to look at Kane giving some of his best works. He was such a dog at times. As I was in mid conversation I heard a laugh that sounded sort of familiar but different at the same time. I looked around, trying to find where the laugh was coming and my eyes finally found the person it belonged too...Mila? She was with some older guy, sitting at a table with him, a few of his friends and a couple of females. She must be working.

I froze, watching her. She looked beautiful as always. She was laughing but I could see it was fake, she was feeling uncomfortable. I could see her pushing the guys hand away under the table who was trying to touch her. I felt an anger build up in me, wanted to go over and take her away from him, away from it all but I couldn't because she needs the job and if I messed it up she wouldn't get paid or worse lose her job. She must have felt someone looking at her because she turned her eyes meeting mine. I see her entire face change, she looked panicked.

I see him trying to get hansy again and went to stand to go over but she shook her head, begging me not to. I nodded and she gave me a small smile, turning her attention back to the table. She said something to the pervert next to her, standing and headed towards the bathrooms, motioning me to follow her.

"I will be back soon." I said excusing myself from the table

I made my way over to the toilets and she pulled me aside. My breath caught in my throat when her scent filled my nose.

"Jamie please don't come over. I will get in trouble if anything messes this up, he is one of our biggest clients, he makes the agency a lot of money." She said

"Mila I don't care how much he makes the agency that does not give him the right to touch you when you don't want him too." I said

"Jamie you will never understand. I need this job OK? I need the money. I have never had the opportunities you have had Jamie. I don't do this job I can't put myself through, I can't pay my rent. Do you not think if I had other options I would be doing this?" She said shaking her head

I reached for her hand, taking it and mine, looking her in the eye.

"I get it Mila I do, I just don't want to see that happening to you, you don't want it." I said sadly

"It is only for another hour. He will get the hint and he will be warned by my boss not to be as hansy when I tell her, she is good that way but you coming storming over trying to be the hero is not going to help anyone." She said

I sighed, nodding my head. I never wanted her getting into trouble because of me. I wanted to go and punch that creep but I know that will make things worse for her. She reached up, stroking my face. I closed my eyes, whimpering a little with her touch on me again.

"Thank you Jamie." She whispered

"Did you get my text messages?" I asked and she nodded "Why didn't you reply?" I added sadly

"You know why Jamie." She said sadly "I need to get back, I am sorry." She added pulling away from me

She went to walk away but before she could, I grabbed her, pulling her back to me, pulling her into my chest, Mila whimpering loudly when I did.

"I miss you Mila, can we at least go back to just texting and phone calls please? It is better than not hearing from you at all." I said "Please?" I added

"I don't know, maybe. I really need to go." She said kissing my cheek and walking off quickly.

How am I going to get over this...over her if I run into her like this? It is going to me impossible. I just really hope I hear from her. I headed back to the table, not really in the mood anymore. I said goodbye to everyone and headed home.
