“No I want the roses on every other table with the silver and the gold has the gardenias is anyone listening?” Merci said stomping her feet. Holding a clipboard she checked off a few things. Wearing a metallic Herve Leger dress and a pair of imported high heels. When she looked around it was stunning.
“You did it again Merci Dubois this place looks like a tropical oasis.”
When she turned around she saw Jackson standing in the doorway. When she was younger she was crazy about Jackson. Hell what young girl wasn’t? However growing up she moved on and they were friends. Let’s just say Jackson lived a life that Merci refused to deal with he was far too dangerous. Drugs and booze plus that girl Cat got killed with Jackson that night. People hadn’t forgotten at all. Moving her bang out of her face she smiled at Jackson as he approached her.
“So I heard you’re dating one girl why couldn’t I or Skye you know my best friend get that out of you?” She leaned in and kissed his cheek. “I missed you Jack it’s been quite boring without you.” Merci’s assistant Kyra came with two glasses of champagne. “This business is my new baby aren’t you proud of me? Oh you look so good all cleaned up. Skye would be really happy you look good and healthy.”
Jackson looked at Merci and remembered the wild nights with Merci, Skye, and Neil. Her eyes still sparkled as he walked up to her. He pulled her into a bear hug as he kissed her cheek. “Merci have you talked to Skye? How is she?” It was good and bad seeing Merci again. How he remembered that time of his life was scary. Skye was a drug as much as the coke. She was addictive and exotic. As he sat down at a table he picked up Jon Harrison’s card. Then scoffed at the thoughts of how he stole Skye from Jon.
As he looked at Merci. “I am so happy to see you.” Tapping his foot against the floor he looked at her. “So a grand party planner I heard that you’re doing good. I’m healthy and happy Merci you look good too. All that partying hasn’t slowed you down at all. Still trying to take on the world. Look that night that Neil passed out and you, me, and Skye did that thing. It was a mistake Merci I just wanted to tell you how special you are to me.”
“Skye is fine and I’m grateful to be here it was your pics in the newspapers with me that pushed this job to me. I have a bigger future now and I just wanted to say thank-you.” Merci leaned in and kissed him passionately on the lips. “If you ever get bored with Ms. Fraiser call me.” Turning around she saw guests outside and Dani scowling at her. “I think Dani isn’t too happy.”
