Chapter 20

Club Anduil

The music was loudly pumping out the beat as the girls danced with
excitement. They all looked hot, they all loved to dance and took the
opportunity of just being young and free for the night. Alex had found her
numerous men throughout the night to dance with, each one more gorgeous then
the next. They took delight in her movement on the floor but mainly enjoyed
the dance sequence she performed on the stage at the front of the club. If
there were a bar counter or stage, Alex would soon find herself dancing on
it. But Alex also found herself in the most interesting conversation with a
girl she met, Hilary. And in that conversation, Alex decided to get her
tongue pierced. As quoted by Miss Hilary, "It's an added bonus in blow jobs."
�Emily found a very charming man to dance with but they spent most of the
time talking about Ireland, as he was also a teacher from the states. Andrea
danced with a few of the chosen men that filled her requirements but she
spent her time sitting at the bar or in the bathroom. Sidney found a tall,
blonde handsome man that was uncanningly the perfect picture of Michael. He
had the same intense blue eyes, the same crooked smile and the same walk. �He
was a pilot from England, had the sexiest English accent and was, if anyone
can believe it, named Michael. They met right away, the instant that Sidney
got there, danced and he never left her side. He was polite, sweet and
charming. The other girls couldn't help but like him and liked how he made
Sidney smile. But all the men were pushed aside when the crazy Canadian Kimmy
rushed them off the dance floor when "Independent Woman" started playing. All
the women in the room joined in with their hands up in the air as the words
were sung. Astric and Anya, soon to be known in the club as "Double A" joined
in the fun on the dance floor and led the group to the motions to "YMCA" when
the song came on. Sherry and Ann were the quiet American's who joined in the
fun respectively, but soon let the music take control as they even let loose
with the others. The cutest one was Caz, the English woman. She was just as
quiet as Sherry and Ann but you give her a few pints and she was soon joining
Alex on the bar counter.
Michael led Sidney to the bar, gently holding her hand as he ordered the two
a drink. Andrea soon joined them sitting down next to Sidney.
"Buy you a drink, miss?" Sidney asked as Andrea lifted her water glass.
"What, no special Andrea drink?" Sidney signaled the bartender. "The lady
would like..."
"I'll just have water, thanks." Andrea said looking away.
"Just water? Since when?" Sidney said smiling. "What is wrong with you? You
have never turned down a drink. Even when I couldn't drink when I was
pregnant, you were sure to let me know that you could..."Sidney stopped and
looked at Andrea who was looking pale at her. "Andrea? Is there something..."
Andrea put her glass down and walked away. "Andrea, wait!" Sidney said as she
lost view of Andrea in the crowd.
"Maybe you should go after her." Michael softly said. He touched her arm and
smiled. Sidney returned the smile and ran after her friend. After pushing
through the crowd, she followed Andrea in the bathroom.
"Andrea, stop." Sidney said grabbing her arm as they just entered.
"Sidney, I don't want to talk about it." Andrea pulled away from her grasp.
"Andrea, are you pregnant?" Sidney asked as two of the girls who stood
washing their hands starred at Andrea.
"Good, Sid, just blurt it out." Andrea said grabbing herself a Kleenex and
began blotting the sweat from her face.
"Andrea, tell me. Are you..."
"Yes." Andrea quickly said interrupting Sidney. "I am pregnant, got the
wonderful confirmation today."
"Oh." Sidney said looking away.
"Nice, Sidney, thanks for not condemning me." Andrea threw the Kleenex in the
trash.
"I'm sorry, I am just surprised." Sidney finally looked at Andrea as she took
her hand. "Does Shane know?"
"No, I haven't told him yet." Andrea tried to tell him this morning and again
before she left for Alex's but Shane was still in his mood from being pissed
at Mark and Kian. She didn't want to tell him when he was already mad.
"You have to tell him." Sidney said moving out of the way of the girl washing
her hands.
"Tell me something I don't know, Sid. I will as soon as Shane gets over being
mad at Mark and Kian." Andrea stood in the mirror checking her makeup.
"Why is Shane so mad at them? I don't know what happened..." Sidney was
interrupted as Emily ran into the bathroom crying. She was shaking from the
terror.
"Emily, my God, what happened?" Sidney asked holding her. Emily just looked
at Sidney and continued crying.
"Emily, tell us." Andrea said as she rubbed Emily's back.
"I can't believe he is here." Emily said in-between sobs.
"Who?" Andrea asked.
"David..how did he know.... how could he follow..." Emily's words were
stopped again as her tears took her over.
"Who? Emily tells us." Sidney said trying to comfort her friend. "Do you want
me to call Kian?"
"No, he can't know, he can't..." Emily pulled away from Sidney and ran into
the stall.
"What the hell?" Andrea asked looking at Sidney.
"I have no idea." Sidney stood helpless. Her best friend was pregnant, some
man who had a connection to her past spooked Emily and she didn't know what
to do about it. Caz walked out of one of the stalls and began washing her
hands. She smiled at Sidney and couldn't help but stare at her. There was
just something familiar about Sidney that she couldn't place.
"I am very sorry to be staring but I just can't help but think I have seen
you before." Caz finally spoke softly. Sidney tried to think of any possible
way that she would know Caz but couldn't come up with anything.
"Well, Sid has been to London a few times but...."
"Aren't you dating Nicky Byrnes?" Caz asked interrupting Andrea.
"Well...we did date." Sidney said.
"I knew it, your picture was in the Manchester Times when he first started
couching." Caz said smiling. "You have a little boy."
"Um, yes. Why was I in the paper?" Sidney asked confused.
"They did a write up on him about him leaving his family and friends for the
job. He was saying how hard it was for him but that he knew that he had to
follow his dream He talked about you and your son...Bailey, right?" Caz said
smiling.
"Yes, his is 5 years old." Sidney said proudly.
"I remember reading that article and thinking how lucky this Sidney girl was.
Nicky really loved her and still loves her. It was so sweet how he talked
about Bailey, he was so proud of him." Caz threw away the towel she was using
and walked past Sidney who was still standing stunned. "Nicky is so gorgeous.
I can imagine how hard it must had to been for you to have him leave." Caz
reached for the door as she stopped and looked at Sidney. "He ended the
article by saying that his heart will always be in Sligo." Caz opened the
door and continued her night of dancing. Sidney turned around and looked in
the mirror. Andrea put her hand on Sidney's shoulder.
"Why didn't I go with him?" Sidney asked as she wiped a tear from her eyes.
"Because you couldn't...I don't know honey. �I know that you loved him and I
know that he loved you. I really don't know." Andrea took her hand and held
it. "He still loves you, Sidney. You could still go to him. I know that
Bailey is missing him..." Emily walked out of the stall, washed her hands and
began fixing her makeup.
"Emily, what is wrong?" Sidney said trying to change the subject.
"I thought I say my ex-boyfriend. I know it can't be him. There is no way, I
mean, he is still in jail." Emily said quickly drying her hands.
"In jail? For what?" Andrea asked. Emily had her back to her, wiping her
hands.
"Just something he did." Emily threw away the towel she used and stood
staring at Sidney.
"What did he do?" Andrea asked not looking at Sidney who was giving her a
dirty look.
"I really don't want to talk about it here, not now." Emily said taking
Sidney's hand. "We will talk about it later, I promise." Emily squeezed
Sidney's hand who simply smiled at her.
"You can tell us when you are ready." Sidney said returning the squeeze.
"Come on, we have more dancing to do." Andrea and Emily followed Sidney out
of the bathroom when she stopped dead in her tracks. "Oh, Shit, what the hell
is she doing here?!" Sidney yelled as the three girls stared at HER!
