Chapter 2
Matt and Jeff stood at the bar waiting for Molly and Leah. They had ordered their drinks and chatted about what they thought Leah would be like, but the soon shut up when the saw Molly come through the door. Molly walked up to the bar and kissed Matt before introducing Leah.
“Matt, Jeff this is Leah. Leah this is Matt and Jeff.”
“Hi. It’s nice to meet you.” Matt said as he kissed her on the cheek.
“You too.” She replied as she turned to look at Jeff. “And you.” She said smiling at him.
“Yeh. Nice to meet you.” He said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before returning to his beer.
“You two wanna drink?” Matt asked as Leah sat on a bar stool and Molly rested in at Matt’s side.
“Sure. Rum and Coke.” Leah said smiling at the look Matt gave her. “Bad day, ok?” she commented before looking at the bar mat she was twiddling in her hands.
“Ok. Rum and coke it is. Mol? What do you want?”
“Just glass of white wine.”
After a few rounds of drinks Matt and Molly had been sitting at a booth with Jeff and Leah but not paying much attention to them. “You wanna go dance?” Matt asked Molly.
“Sure.” She replied as she got of his lap and led him over to the dance floor.
Jeff moved around next to Leah in the booth and lent forward, resting his elbows on the table. “so what do you do?”
“Nothing.”
“Huh?” Jeff asked confused. He moved from where he was sitting and turned to face Leah.
“I was made redundant today.”
“Oh. Sorry.” He said as he patted her shoulder.
“Shit happens right?”
“Yeh it does. What did you do?”
“I was an interior designer.”
“Cool.”
“But I don’t like the idea of trying to find another job. Most places like a lot of experience when the higher a designer and I don’t have much.”
“How old are you?”
“19”
“But you have some experience right?”
“Yeh, but the want more than some.” She replied taking a sip of her seventh rum and coke. “Can we change the subject?”
“Sure. What to?” he asked as he twiddled with the lace on his chunky black boots.
“I dunno. I don’t really care.”
“You wanna go dance then?”
“No. I’m not in the mood. But don’t let me stop you.” She said as she downed the rest of her drink.
“I’d take it easy if I were you.”
“Why? Don’t you think a woman can handle a few drinks?”
“No, not really from my past experiences.”
“WHAT!!!??? So Woman should stick to wine and crap??” Leah said becoming very pissed of at Jeff all of a sudden.
“Well, yeh.” Jeff replied bluntly.
“JESUS!! Why are guys always like this??!!! LIKE YOU!!!” Leah shouted at him as she stood up. Jeff followed suit and stood up.
“Excuse me? You do not now me so you can NOT tell me what the hell I’m like!!!” Jeff snapped back at her as she grabbed her bag.
“I know exactly what your like! You’re a guy aren’t you???!!! You’re all the bloody same!!” Leah shouted, as she looked Jeff straight in the eye. He saw the fire burning in them. The same he felt burning in his own.
“You are so pig headed!!!” he snapped as he saw Matt and Molly walking over to them. “You’re the one here stereo typing people not me!!!” he yelled as he looked at the confused looks on both Matt’s and Molly’s faces.
“Yeh! That’s a great one coming from you!!” Leah smirked before grabbing her coat of the booth.
“Guys, what’s going on?” Matt asked.
“I’m outta here!!” Leah snapped as she put on her jacket.
“Why?” Molly asked looking concerned for her friend.
“Why don’t you ask this pig??!!!” Leah shouted over the music as she pointed at Jeff.
“Like I said, wench, you’re the pig here!!”
“Fuck you Jeff Hardy!! I have better things to do with my time than to stand here talking to the likes of your sorry ass!!!”
“Guys!! Calm down! What the hell is this about?” Matt demanded.
“Ask him. I’m going.” Leah snapped as she turned and left them.
“Jeff what did you say to her?” Matt asked his brother glaring into his eyes.
“Nothing. I just said something that she didn’t agree to and she flew!!”
“She’s not like that! She has to have a reason!” Molly snapped, shocking both Matt and Jeff.
“Did she drive here?” Matt asked trying to be practical.
“No. I did.”
“So she’s walking back to your house in the dark?”
“Yes. I better go after her.”
“I’ll tell you what. You stay here. I’ll go find her. I want to know what he said to her. And we’ll pick up some snacks and we’ll meet you back at your house in half an hour. Ok?” Matt asked Molly.
“Yeh. Ok.” She said as she kissed Matt before turning her attention back to Jeff.
