Desire of the Soul

Ana's POV

I was so happy that I found my dream wedding dress, but I was sad about the things that Romyhad told me about Jimmy . How can he think that we don't need him? He's like a brother, I always can count on him, and he can always count on me or Brian, he can come here whenever he likes.. Oh no! Maybe it's about the last time when Brian was so cold towards him, after they were back from the tour? Oh I hope that’s not it. Brian would never be really angry with him, he is his best friend..
And then the other situation we talked about with Romy and Zacky. I can't imagine that Zacky is really jealous about Jimmy. But maybe… Maybe it’s the reason why Jimmy had such a bad mood, because he feels that another of his best friends doesn't want to spend time with him?
"And, did you find a dress?" Brian snatched me from thoughts.
"Yes, I found it", I smiled.
"Oh, really? Can I see it?!"
"No way! You won't see it until our wedding day!"
"Oh Ana, please.. Just some small details, pretty please?" he started to kiss my neck
"Okay, okay.. You won."
"Yeah! So?! Tell me"
" This dress is black with a big pink bow on the back and..”
"Ha ha ha… soooo funny. And for real?"
"Forget it. It's bad luck, I won’t talk about it"
"Please.."
"No! Oh and I was right that something is wrong with Jimmy."
"Really? What?" HA! I knew that it helps me divert his attention from my wedding dress.
I sat down with Brian on our couch and told him everything I knew.

On the next day, I called Jimmy from my office, "Hey Jimmy!”
"Annie, hey!"
"Do you want to have lunch with me today?!"
"Oh, yes, sure! I will wait for you in front of your company at 12?"
"Yes, perfect, see you later!"
"Bye!"
I really needed to talk with him, to make sure, that he knows that he's important to me.
And I still have to ask him if we can have our wedding at his home. I hope that it make his mood a little better. Today I had so many things to do. We were working on a new project.
"Hey Ana, are we going to lunch together?" Amanda stood in my doorway.
"Actually I planned to eat lunch with a friend, but you can join us"
"Oh, no. It's okay, we will go together tomorrow."
"No, you have to come with us, it will be funny. I'm sure that you will like him"
Of course she will. Everyone loves Jimmy.

Jimmy's POV

I was waiting at the entrance for Ana to arrive. It felt good to have something to do and spent some time with her.
Since the evening with Romy the other day was more a disaster. I just hope that Zack and Romy will figure this out, whichever is going wrong between those two.
I just felt bad for them, maybe it was also my fault. I wanted to spent time with my friend and maybe I was just a little too spoiled by her. She was always my friend first and I could just drop by without a second thought. Now there are more things to consider since she was Zack’s girlfriend.

The door opened and Ana walked out and I just wanted to run towards her and grab her into a hug, when she turned around laughing at someone. When I could finally see who it was I held my breath. A young woman with dark red hair that shined even brighter red when the sun kissed it, spoke to Ana and smiled at her friendly. I walked towards them, curious who was this beauty red-head?!
I tried to act normal and didn’t want to scare Ana’s company away.
“This is Amanda my colleague, I hope it’s ok, that she will join us?”, Ana asked.
“Sure, the more people the better.” I shook Amanda’s hand with a smile and her cheeks were a light red and she looked at her feet. Isn’t it cute, a shy one?!

Ana’s POV

We went to the small restaurant, near our work.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you!" I said to Amanda and I showed her the ring on my
"Ohhhhh! Is that it?! You're engaged?!" I nodded with a smile.
"Oh, congratulations!” She hugged me tight and we settled back into our seat.
"Jimmy, Brian and I have a big request for you"
"Hm?"
"Can we organize our wedding, at your house? I mean.. we could also rent a…”
"Oh of course, you can! It would be great! I don’t even need to find a way home, haha!" Jimmy laughed.
"Oh thank you!" I kissed his cheek.
Now his mood was a little better and he started talking about the wedding. About arrangements, what he can do and that he will help us with everything.
"You're our best friend, we love you, you know that, don't you?"
"Yeah, I know, but why are you talking about it..?" I gave him a small smile
"Romy told me."
"Yeah, Romy.. I should have guessed", he laughed.
I looked at Amanda, she was so shy today, that was not like her.
"Hey, Amanda, how was your weekend?"
"Oh ahh.. pretty quiets I did nothing special. I just, you know, relaxed..."
We ate in silence. Jimmy was looking at Amanda from time to time and I was sure that she looked at him too.

Jimmy's POV

We sat together in this small restaurant and talked about the weekend. As often as possible I stole a glance at Amanda, she was looking at me and smiled, but she didn’t talk much. I might have to tickle some more Information from her…
“So Jimmy, what’s up with you, Romy told me..”
Oh damn, sure Romy told her something. I just needed to act cool and don’t let it show, especially before our nice company Amanda.

After I answered her questions to her satisfaction I could finally change the topic.
“So where is Romy anyway? Doesn’t she share your lunch time with you normally?”
“Yes she does. But she already told me yesterday that she needed to finish some work first and will have lunch a little later…”
“Oh ok. What a shame, but 2 beautiful women as company are enough for today, I guess.”
Again Amanda’s cheeks were bright red and she laughed a little.
“So Amanda, do you have a boyfriend, husband, lover?” I asked her.
“JAMES!” Ana looked at me shocked.
“What I need to clarify this before I asked her out or not?” I replied casually.
“You want to ask me out?” Amanda smiled even brighter.
“Of course I will. So what do you think about going on a Date with me this Friday?”
“This Friday? Yes sure. Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know, but I will think about something…”
Ana was just smiling and looking excited from me to Amanda and back. I knew what she was thinking, and damn it, she was right.
“Oh shit, we gotta get back to work, we are late already and I have a meeting in a few minutes.”
Amanda and Ana stood up quickly and wanted to get her wallets out to pay for the dinner but I was faster, gentleman that I am.
“Ladies, it’s on me. It was a pleasure to eat in your company. Now go back to work and I will call you to talk about our date on Friday.” I winked at Amanda stood up gave Ana a kiss on the cheek and hug and also hugged Amanda and they went out of the restaurant.
What a wonderful day…
