Blade and I hunched together in the back seat of the car to read the letter Flora had written that was found in Jaspers desk. Would this hold the evidence we needed?

My darling
I miss you so much and can't wait until we can be together again.
I understand why you said we can't keep in touch via call or text and I actually find it exciting communicating by letter, it's so romantic!
Just think, when our precious baby is older they'll be able to read the love letters sent between their parents!
I wish we could tell our families but I know why we have to wait and we will be together in a few short months publicly. I'm worried about telling Blade, I know it will hurt him that I kept it from him but I know his coming niece or nephew will win him round!
Can't wait to see you at our usual place, being away from you hurts, seeing you with another hurts me.
I love you my darling as does our little bump
XOXO

I looked at Blade anxiously, his whole body stiff like a rock, running my hand soothingly down his arm. He shoved me away roughly, called to his driver to stop the car and stalked into the nearest bar. Asking the driver to wait I dialled Lane.
"What's up gorgeous?"
"Hey beautiful, don't suppose that man of yours is with you is he?"
"Yeah, why?"
I paused before replying, hoping I was doing the right thing.
"The video Blade sent to Nate earlier has.. upset him.. could you guys meet me outside a bar called The Black Dog? Maybe you could stay with me whilst Nate handles Blade?"
"The phones on speaker honey, we're on our way"
Relieved that Blade would soon be ok, we said our goodbyes and disconnected the call. I wasn't sure whether it was best to give Blade this time alone or to wait with him until Nate arrived to take over. Before I had been able to decide, Lane and Nate pulled up behind our car. I quickly exited the vehicle, telling Briggs I would be back shortly, and met the two of them on the pavement.
Before I could greet them, my lovely Lane had scooped me into her arms and squeezed while I sheepishly waved hello to Nate over her shoulder, he was looking on indulgently, clearly extremely into the gorgeous blonde currently squeezing all the air out of my lungs!
"He's inside?"
Nates smooth tones interrupted our girl fest and I nodded before he disappeared into the bar. Lane released me then and looked around ensuring we were alone before questioning me.
"What's going on? Nate got a video from President Night earlier and he got all mopey and cross, I practically dislocated my jaw trying to cheer him up!"
I dissolved into giggles, my cheeky friend always able to make me laugh!
"Blades sister died recently and the video was related to her.. hence the bar.."
"Oh my goodness I can't believe I just made a joke about them being upset!"
Laney looked at me shamefacedly and I squeezed her hands in my own
"Honey you didn't know about what happened and believe me I saw the way he was looking at you just now, you make him happy ok! Be yourself, don't change, make jokes because you make people happy and you're perfect got it?!"
Lane looked at me with a cheeky grin
"In that case how about we go and force our men out of their funk? I'm thinking tequila and a bit of girl on girl dancing?"
Rolling my eyes laughing I followed her into the bar.
The interior was spread over two floors, the ground floor we were on had a large dance floor and bar in the middle with darkened lighting. Ahead of us was a split staircase leading to a brighter second floor overlooking the dance floor with stools and tables as well as another bar.
Heading to the bar on the dance floor we spotted the Nights sat on a couple of stools at the opposite end of the bar from us. Ordering four tequila slammers we sauntered towards them and handed them their shots.
"To Flora"
I said and we all clinked glasses before taking our shots. Once done the guys turned their backs to us so with a look of determination Lane took my hand and led me out to the dance floor and we did what girls do so very well.. make guys drool while we dance all up on each other!
"Nate's about 10 seconds away from dragging me out of here"
Lanes eyes were wild and triumphant and I glanced at the guys, my eyes meeting Blades in the mirror behind the bar. The look in his eyes stole my breath and I found myself dancing harder, for him.
He swivelled on his stool to face me, and as Nate approached to steal Lane away I approached Blade and continued my dance settling in between his legs I turned my back to him and dropped down before coming back up, brushing my ass against his hardness. Grabbing one of my hands he twirled me until I faced him.
Then he kissed me.
