10 Years

4 - Mine?

"Bree?"

"Oh my god Amara, you have no idea how happy I am to see you, where have you been? Why did you leave? I told Ash you would be here, that there would be nothing that would keep you away from our reunion"

"Calm down Bree, give her room to breath for fucks sake" Ash pulled her off me finally, she turned her focus to Hunter,

"Holy Crap, Hunter" She shrieked, Pulling him in for a hug "You guys are together? That is wonderful"

"Yeah" Hunter started "And you guys?"

"Going on 6 years now" Bree stated ecstatically,

"Wow, you guys are married?" Yeah I must have sounded stupid, I am positive I looked stupid, the answer to my question was obvious from the way she dangled the diamond ring on her finger at us, But it was Asher who replied

"Yep, she finally wore me down" Bree moved closer to him do her best to snuggle into his side - it looked kind of awkward. I knew the next question could break me but I needed to know,

"Do you have any kids?" I whispered, and I was surprised they both had answered at the same time

"FUCK NO" Asher exclaimed, laughing while the twinge in my chest tightened, thankful that he hadn't had children but horrified at the way he reacted.

"Not Yet" Bree stated her eyes filled with hope before she continued, turning the conversation to Hunter and I, "I can't believe you two are together, I always said Amara and Hunter would be the perfect couple didn't I Ash?"

"Yep, you sure did Bree" Asher gave her a small kiss on the forehead,

"I can't really argue with you there" Hunter spoke, I looked up to see him gazing at me, I turned into him, placing my hands on either side of his face I kissed him, only allowing our tongues to touch slightly  before I pulled away. I'll admit part of this was for show, I wanted Asher to feel jealous because that's exactly how I felt watching him with Bree. Asher and Bree - I was jealous? Of Bree, Bree who was his wife. God, pull yourself together Amara.

"Look guys, I am sorry but we really need to get going" Hunter moved his hand to grasp mine, silently telling me it was time to leave,

"Oh no, really - you guys can't hang out for a bit longer?" Bree looked like she was going to cry soon,

"No we really should get going, Sorry - maybe next time" I stated, a small smile on my lips,

"Do you have time for coffee, tomorrow maybe?" Ash asked, hopefully

"We would love to, but we are only here till Sunday" I started

"And we have to spend time with the rentals" Hunter finished for me,

"Oh, yeah ok, fair enough I guess" Ash's eyes were on the ground as he replied, disappointment clear from the tone on his voice,

"But Hey, If you guys are ever in the city" Hunter placed his hand out shaking Ash's again and gave Bree a quick one armed hug,

"Yeah - look us up. It was great seeing you both" I finished for Hunter and hugged both of them briefly, I never even looked back as we made our way out of the function room afraid of what I might do if I saw his eyes locked onto mine, and as we stepped into the cool night air I welcomed it, releasing a deep breath I hadn't even realised I'd been holding onto.

"You Ok babe?" Hunter asked me as I took the last of my make up off,

"Yeah, I'm ok" He nodded at me, I turned pulling him back to me, he was just wearing his boxes so his bare chest hit mine, the strapless bra and matching g-string was all I was left in after I had removed my dress, "Hunter" I whispered, my arms slowly folding around his neck, I paused as his eyes searched mine his hands coming to cup my face as an huge earth shattering smile crossed his mouth, damn this man was gorgeous.
