The young woman was friendly when Kira had introduced herself. Her large dark eyes were beautiful within her small doll like face, and Kira could understand why Tom had fallen for the woman before her. She wasn’t only stunning, but her personality was quietly gentle and full of humour. Kira liked her instantly.
“You’re with Craig” she had said as Kira had introduced herself#p#分页标题#e#
“Yes, we’re old friends” she had smiled back
Marina smiled in return “Craig’s nice” she added
For several minutes they stood making small talk before Kira finally managed to casually point out Tom, who stood nervously walking backwards and forwards throwing them anxious looks every so often.
“He seems nice” she said do you know if he’s seeing anybody
She watched the light go out in the other woman’s eyes
“Do yourself a favour” she replied
“Stay away from him”
Kira lifted an eye brow in surprise at the bitter comment from the other woman
“Why” she asked in surprise
“Because he is nothing but a two timing …..” the young woman bit her lip dropping those expressive eyes
“No” Kira answered “He doesn’t look the type”
Marina shrugged her lovely shoulders.
“Well if you can’t take a warning”
Kira looked at her thoughtfully
“Did you find him with somebody else?”
“Not me…my friend.” She gave a bitter laugh
“He had the cheek to proposition my best friend”
“I thought he was different” she mumbled.
Kira excused herself before moving back over to Tom and telling him the story.
He looked at her in disbelief
“That little bitch” he stormed “She came onto me. I told her I wasn’t interested”
“Well it seems to me dear Tom that you need to set her straight because unless I am very much mistaken young Marina still has some pretty strong feelings for you”
Tom looked down on Kira thoughtfully. The more he knew this woman the less he could see her as the women Craig had described. He bent down and kissed her cheek gently
“Thanks” he said “I imagined so many other things”
“Good luck” she wished him as he left her moving determinedly over to Marina. Fleetingly she understood what he meant thinking back to Craig; the worst thing had been that she had never known either.
She watched the young woman spotting Tom heading her way and trying to escape him. She watched as he had caught up with her and held her arm talking animatedly to her. With a smile she saw him pull the women into his arms and kiss her seeing how she had kissed him back. She sighed happily feeling warm inside at the outcome.
Smiling she turning to see Craig standing behind her watching her with sensual eyes.
“Dance” he asked pointing to the dance floor
She nodded smiling back at him and followed him onto the floor. Placing his arms around her waist he pulled her in against him causing sensations to travel through her. Leaning in against him her head rested comfortably against his cheek her eyes closed as she enjoyed the feel of him and the aroma of him against her. His breath gently fanned her hair and she held back a soft moan at the way her whole body just wanted to fall against him to tell him how much she loved him, but keeping her lips still she moved with him.
From a distance Tom watched as they moved together. He could see the way they held each other and he frowned softly. He had never seen two people so in synch with each other, their bodies swaying perfectly together, with each face full of such an obvious need for the other. He wondered again at what had happened all those years ago.
“Are you having a good time” Craig whispered against her hair
Kira looked into his face smiling
“Yes” she replied huskily.
“That was a good thing you did for Tom” he said.
She looked at him in surprise
“You knew”
He looked down at her smiling
“Tom and I tell each other everything; I wasn’t really sure how to help him”
“Everything” she asked raising an eyebrow
“Even about this week”
Pulling her back in closer against him he added
“Almost everything”
They carried on dancing for the rest of the song with no more words spoken between them, just content to be in each others arms. Afterwards still holding onto her he guided her with a soft hand on her back to meet more friends of his.
As one of his friends led her onto the dance floor Kira watched a beautiful woman moving over to join Craig. She was tall with a stunning figure which caused men around her to look twice as she walked past. She wore a dress which left little to the imagination as the cleavage plunged down to her navel, and Kira felt uncomfortable about her, especially when she wrapped her arm around his neck and leant in against his cheek kissing him softly for a nano second longer than was necessary. Frowning slightly she saw his hands resting on her hips holding her before he laughed at some joke she made. Kira felt a sudden stab of jealousy coursing through her veins and tried hard to ignore the feeling which pushed at her.
