Beth and Rio are struggling to conceal their feelings for one another. But the truth must come out at some point. But what will happen after that? That's up to me ;)
I don't own any of the characters in this story all of them belong to the creators...
Rios POV I woke up on the couch with a pounding headache. I slowly sat up hearing my back and neck pop from the stiffness. I looked over and saw the empty bottle of bourbon and sighed knowing that couldn't have been a good sign. I grabbed my phone turning it on but to my surprise it was dead which was weird. I plugged it in and got up to go make myself some breakfast.
After I ate I went to go check to see if my phone had turned back on and almost shit myself at the reply I saw from Beth. That's when I remembered what I had done last night. "FUCK" I yelled and unlocked my phone to see the drunken text I had sent. I soothed myself by saying it could have been worse I could have told her that it meant something. But instead I had just said it was fun which was true and we should do it again which was also true and probably inevitable. I didn't know whether or not to reply I didn't wanna seem to eager even tho I kinda was. ~Our bar. 6pm. No I can't say it like that it sounds to straightforward ~meet me at our bar tonight at 6:00? I mean that sounded good right maybe not the question mark
~Meet me at our bar tonight at 6 I sighed and sent it then put the phone down and went to shower
Beth POV
I woke to an empty bed as usual and saw the clock 8:57 I sighed and got up relieved that dean had said he would take the kids to school on fridays to give me a break.
I looked over to my phone and checked my messages
Rio ~Meet me at our bar tonight at 6
I didn't know what to say I mean what did he want? Did he just need me to do a favor? Or was he firing me? Or killing me? Or fucking me? There were so many possibilities. All I knew was that I couldn't because Dean had said he was going to take me out tonight.
{how urgent? Dean and I have plans Typing....typing... then gone I waited anxiously sitting on the edge of my bed and biting my lip.
~just need to chat real quick
{ok I'll figure it out
I sighed and went to text Dean {hey can we eat at that one bar instead of the Thai place for our date tonight <yeah sure
Wow some response that was I mean after all he is screwing his secretary the least he could do it put some effort in the text
The day flew by as I got a lot of errands done buying groceries, picking up the kids, and dropping them off at their grandmas, updating my calendar, actual book club. I started to get ready for Dean and my date. I decided on a rust colored casual yet simple dress and as usual a plunging neckline and some black heels.

I then curled my hair and put on a medium length necklace that if you followed it you would have to stare at the ladies. I don't know why I kept planning what I was wearing to impress some bad boy. I put on some makeup and earrings and just then heard Dean come home and call out to see if I was ready. I walked downstairs confidently and when we locked eyes all I got was a lame "you look nice" I just smiled a sad smile and we left.
Rio POV
I sat at the bar in my usually attire sipping my drink every once in a while glancing at the door waiting for her to enter. I saw the door open and her start to walk in and it was as if it was slow motion she looked so gorgeous as she glides in and then everything was ruined when he followed behind her. I quickly turned back around so she wouldn't see how red my face probably was. I took another big swig of my drink and ordered another and took a sip looking over my shoulder and making eye contact with her.
Beth POV
I walked in and glanced around and saw him sitting at the bar ordering a drink waiting,hoping he would turn around a notice me before we went and sat down at a booth. And thank heavens he glanced over his shoulder and we made eye contact. I smiled a small smile. This was going to be a long night.
