Husband With Benefits
Chapter 308: A Surprise (2)

Chapter 308: A Surprise (2)

Nora drummed her fingers on the table as she glanced at the door for the umpteenth time. As she looked at the watch, she frowned. Demetri had become a total tease. He’d asked her to wait here for lunch and was now making her wait. She was so hungry..

Suddenly, a hand covered her eyes from behind and a voice whispered," Guess who, kitten."

Since she’s just stiffened at the sudden hand, Nora relaxed and a small smile played along her lips. Her hands went up to hold his wrist and she quickly spoke," You’re late."

"Sorry, kitten," he chuckled softly.

Hearing the chuckle, she decided to make things more interesting. "You owe me for being late," she declared with a sly grin. "I think we need to have a quickie to make up for it."

She felt him stiffen in shock and used the chance to put pressure on his nerve in the wrist, which made him curse and drop his hands as she said," Ian Frost, next time you try to impersonate my husband, I’ll break your hand!"

Nora turned to see Ian standing behind her with a pained grin as he asked, "What on earth? Are you trying to get me killed by Demetri? When did you know it was me?"

"From the very beginning. Your hands smell different than his."

Ian rolled his eyes at that, "I don’t even want to know how you distinguish that. And you said what you said knowing it wasn’t him! This is attempted murder!"

Nora simply winked at him before gesturing for him to sit across her and asked," What are you doing here?"

"I am your surprise."

Nora snorted at that," Ha! As if."

Ian rolled his eyes at that again, causing Nora to giggle and say," Your eyes will fall out if you keep doing that."

"Stop cursing me. Fine. I was charged with bringing in your surprise here."

Nora’s eyes widened and she looked at him eagerly," Really! Wow! Give it to me fast? Is it some exotci dessert? I hope you did not sit on it!"

Ian almost rolled his eyes again before stopping himself and instead said," No! It is not a dessert and I assure you I would not dare to sit on your surprise. Look there."

Nora followed his direction and her eyes widened as she stared at the person standing there. Quikly, she pinched Ian who groaned and then laughed, " Is that really who I think it is?"

"You bish! First you literally forget me and then you are wondering if I am a figment of your imagination?" The woman at the door called out softly.

In an instant, she forgot everything and jumped up from her seat as she ran towards the door with a squeal, "Bella baby!"

The two girls, laughed and hugged each other, quickly talking over the other in rapid chatter making Ian wince. Were they even understanding each other?

"I can’t believe you’re here!" Nora exclaimed, tears of joy welling up in her eyes.

"And I can barely believe you are alive. You have no idea!!!" As tears welled in her eyes, the two girls hugged each other and cried again.

Seeing the girls like this made Ian smile as he decided to finally interfere. Quickly, he guided them towards the private room that Demetri had already arranged and asked the wait staff to bring in the bottle of wine," The two of you can have fun here and catch up. Demetri will be here in the evening. Bye ladies."

As the two girls settled side by side, Isabella could not help but hug her again as she said," I missed you babe."

"I missed you too Bella."

"Liar. I know all about it. You’d forgotten about me. Tell me everything now."

With a sigh, Nora recounted everything from the time they last separated to the present punctuating the story with drinking break and pouring the drink break. By the end of a few hours, the food lay untouched on the table while the two girls lay in each other’s arms crying and laughing aloud.

Drunkenly, Isabella poked at Nora and complained, "It’s a good thing Demetri remembered me and brought me here to be your Maid of honour! Or my best friend had totally forgotten me. You wouldn’t have even invited me to the wedding!"

Nora shook her head in protest and cut off the girl," Hey! You’re wrong. How can I marry without the VIP."

"Ha! I wouldn’t be the VIP at your wedding. It would be Demetri Frost.

"Demetri Frost cannot be VIP. He will only be the groom. My Bella will be the VIP."

"Then you will marry me, Nora?" Isabella giggled drunkenly.

Nora shook her head at that but before she could say more, a droll voice spoke," I invite you here for my wedding, and you are usurping my place?"

Demetri stood at the door, looking down at the two girls sitting on the floor drunkenly, while the food sat untouched on the table.

Shaking his head, he sighed," You were supposed to eat and drink. Not just drink."

Nora looked up at her ’four’ husbands and grinned and swayed," This is the best gift, husband. I like it. It rates just below the quickie on the rating scale."

Demetri shook his head. She was still stuck on her quickie while Isabella protested," How could you! You mean I give you less happiness than a quick toss with your husband? You are a mean friend. I won’t help you choose your bridal colours! You go ask your bed friend to do it instead of your best friend!"

"No. You can’t abandon me! You are my best friend. Demetri wouldn’t know the difference between magenta and fuchsia!"

With a shake of his head, he entered the room and gently relieved the two girls of the bottles from which they were taking swigs.

Isabella narrowed her eyes and questioned him, "Do you know the difference between the two colors."

Demetri shrugged and answered," Magenta is purple and fuchsia is purple."

Isabella fell back and patted Nora, "Don’t worry, baby. I won’t abandon you."
