It was Jay’s birthday the following Sunday and the crew agreed to celebrate it in Rubies with a lot of liquor and a lot of beer. Of course he had invited everyone including Frankie and her new BFF. Initially Frankie had not wanted to come but since it was Jay’s birthday she would it a bit harsh to not turn up. Plus Danielle had never been to Rubies, so it was a good chance to bring her around.

Cat was her come in with Danielle. She was sitting with Ed on the sofa whilst Jay had already surrounded himself with two ladies for the night and drowning shots.

Jay was clearly halfway drunk when Frankie greated him happy birthday. She went to buy drinks for herself and Danille when Danielle sat down on the sofa next to Cat. Frankie wasn’t going to stay long. She didnt want to. She was thinking of ways she could leave as soon as possible. Until Cat came over to the bar too. Initially she had not realised. Until the familiar perfume smell caught her attention. She was still using the same perfume.

‘Hi Frankie.’

She didnt want to be rude but she really didnt feel like talking to her.

‘Hi Cat.’

‘So, is this how it is going to be from now on.’

She didnt want to say anything and stay silent.

‘ Come on Frankie. This is so unfair. You were the one that left me in the first place and came back and you knew that i had Sam. That night was purely a mistake, and i am sorry for it. Can’t we just be friends.’

Frankie was getting angrier by the minute. For the past 6 months she had desperately trying to live with the memories of what happened between them. But hearing Cat acknowledge that the night of romance that they had was a mistake took its toll. She controlled herself. Breathe out and walk back to where Danielle was sitting.

Cat getting angrier by the minute decided to finally end this silly fight. She grab hold of Frankie and dragged her out to the door. She needed her to hear her out once and for all. Frankie could have shaked her off but she too decided that it was about time to really end it between them.
