One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 5: Her failed plan

~~In a different place and time, maybe in another life, I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked. We never get the chance to try and what makes it worse is you would have loved me if you met me first~~~ -Eric Ethridge-

"Hey, I was just asking, but fine! I won't ask for your age anymore. Whew! Women of this generation!"

I waited for almost half an hour before the man I was waiting for finally entered the club. I immediately called the bartender's attention and pointed to Luke's direction. He recognized him instantly the moment I showed Luke's photo. He hesitated at first, asked me again some random questions and because of that, I pulled the last $5000 out of my bag, and that's what made him shut his mouth.

He nodded and motioned for me to hide while he's doing the rest of the job.

Honestly, I have a lot of plans, way better than this. But after listening to his conversation with my brother, I don't know what happened to me. Suddenly I became frustrated and desperate to make him mine, although I know that with this plan I will not only be able to stop their wedding but also to destroy their relationship.

But that's what I wanted and here I am now. Besides, backing out isn't in my vocabulary. I have already paid the dickhead of a bartender all my pennies, so I have no choice but to proceed with the plan. The operation 'stops Luke Williams wedding and make him fall in love with me' plan'.

****************

My eyes widened like saucers the moment I saw Dale walking behind Luke as they entered the club. I couldn't help cursing because I didn't know whether to continue doing it or I'll be back next time. 'Whew! You have to think of a better solution for this, Samantha!'

Until finally a brilliant idea came to my mind. I immediately ran to the ladies' room and entered one of the cubicles.

"Why the hell on earth would I do that?" I can imagine the deep frown painted on Jack's forehead when she answered my call.

I tried to ask her a favor to call my brother and pick me up from Janet's house, one of our classmates as the wheel on the back of my car flattened out, so I had to send it to the nearest mechanical shop. "Please, Jack?"

"What are you doing at Janet's house at this very late hour? And seriously, you're really asking me a favor to call your narcissistic brother? Huh! Why don't you just call him and tell him to pick you up?" "I can't!" I bit my lip. 'Jeez, why did I say that?'

"What? What do you mean you can't?"

"Uhm--- I - I can't reach his phone. I tried to call him but he's out of range."

"Then why would you want me to call him if you know he's out of range? Gosh Samantha, are you out of your mind? Besides, do you think he would believe me?"
