You were never really one to frequent at bars, purely because there wasn't any reason for you to be there – sure, you could get drunk, play some pool, listen to whatever was going on, but then at the end of the night you would still go home alone and not feeling much better than you did when you first arrived.

However, after meeting a certain regular, you were at the bar almost every night.

You didn't mind that he wanted to be there, he didn't mind that you didn't drink all the time, and the both of you knew that you would be going home together at the end of the night.

You were sat at the bar whilst watching your boyfriend play poker – you would be at the table the majority of the time, but you had disappeared to get a drink.

"What's a beautiful woman like you doing by herself?" you heard someone ask, causing you to turn your gaze away from Remy and to the mysterious newcomer.

To be fair to him, he was attractive but he had forgotten to take his wedding ring off, "Just getting a drink" you answered smoothly.

He smirked and allowed his eyes to rake over your body not-so-subtly, "How about I pay for that?" he quizzed, pulling out his wallet and signalling the bartender.

You shook your head in response "As much as I appreciate the offer, I will have to decline" you picked up the two drinks as you spoke.

Just as you were about to walk away, the man's hand shot out to curl around your waist "Two drinks huh? Who are you here with?" he continued to ask you questions when you really didn't want a conversation.

Instead of answering him, you ignored him and made your way over to Remy.

You sat down on Remy's knee, and his arm made its way around you to hold you there, "Thank you my love" he whispered in your ear as you placed his drink down on the table.

You kept quiet as the poker game continued, but then the man who had been talking to you earlier came to sit down opposite.

"So this is who you're here with" he stated with a surprised tone whilst he was being dealt in, "You do know what he's like, right? Different girl back with him each night, never stays with one girl too long that one" he had a smirk on his face as he tried to convince you that Remy was a bad choice.

Remy scoffed and his drip tightened slightly, so you placed your free hand on his thigh to calm him slightly, "Different girl every night, huh?" Remy asked sarcastically, his accent shining through, "It might have been like that a year ago my friend, however nowadays there's only one girl in my life that matters" he spoke quickly but softly.

You slowly rubbed small circles on Remy's thigh with your thumb as you smiled at his words "Every person here knows that you can't handle having one girl all your life" the man said, all whilst the game was still occurring.

Remy went to answer, but you cut in before he could, "Shouldn't you be the one having one girl all your life?" you asked and the man looked surprise at you speaking up "After all, that ring shows me that you vowed to someone that you would be faithful and loving, but based on the fact that you're here and hitting on a girl that's clearly taken" you explained to him "It just shows that the person you married is so much better than you, because they are the one that married a scumbag" Remy pressed a kiss to your neck as you talked, and you felt him smile proudly, "So please, do not come here and start berating my relationship when you clearly need to be working on your own" you finished talking and leant back against Remy triumphantly.

The man didn't say anything in response to you, but he threw his cards down at the table before getting up and storming out of the bar.

Remy chuckled and lifted his head, using his free hand to guide you to look at him, "Maybe we should say some vows" he mused which made you blush slightly "I'd like it to be known that you are mine"
