The next morning I awoke in Seth's arms. Stretching I looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand seeing it wasn't even 8 am yet. As much as I wanted to snuggle back up to Seth I needed to use the restroom. Laying flat on my back I looked over at Seth and felt my heart catch. I needed to get my ass up cause laying in bed with him I was catching feelings. Who the fuck was I kidding I had already developed feelings for him.
Sliding out of bed I went to the restroom before heading to my own room. My clothes were scattered from the bedroom to the main room and I couldn't help but laugh as I picked them up piece by piece. Seeing the phone laying on the coffee table I walked over to pick it up and saw that Seth's phone was lighting up. I couldn't not see the name that flashed on the screen, Tina, as in Christina. Shaking my head I grabbed my phone and walked into my room.
I refused to think about if what Seth said last night was true or not. For now, I would concentrate on t
I stared back at my reflection in the mirror, the girl staring back at me had clearly lost her mind. I really didn't want to go to a club, I didn't do clubs by choice, and I had a feeling something bad was going to happen tonight. I had straightened my hair taking my time doing it right so it was perfect, I took my time with my makeup ensuring that it was flawless.Pulling down the hem of my dress I frowned as I slid on my heels. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath, I wasn't ready to go out and face Seth. I was nervous to go out and meet him. I knew it was stupid I mean I had worn this outfit to a damn club in Dallas, but for some reason, it was different this time. Looking in the mirror one last time I opened the door and stepped out into the main room.Seth was wearing a pair of creased down jeans and a starched white t-shirt. As he looked up I stopped walking frowning, "if you can wear that, why do I have to wear this dress."Seth grinned at me biting his bo
Sitting with my legs crossed on Seth's bed I tried not to cry. Saturday had arrived out of nowhere. Friday we had been lazy and stayed in bed most of the day, and now this morning I sat watching as Seth packed his bags. His flight left a good 3 hours before mine. I would have rather been the one to leave first, I think it would have been easier, for me at least. I knew it was time for me to check back in with reality, but I didn't want to. I was content to stay in this hotel room with him forever.Seth looked up at me as he zipped his bag closed, "why are you over there pouting?"I frowned at him, "because I'm going to miss your ass that's why."He grinned at me walking to the bed and sat slightly in front of me, "I told you I would wear you down."I rolled my eyes leaning my head against his shoulder, "you will call me tonight right?"He nodded kissing my forehead, "yeah, you know I will see you again right? This isn't goodbye forever."
It took me a good week to fully get over my time with Seth. I had walked around the house in a zombie like state for a while but Brooke helped to pull me out of my pity party. I started going back to the gym because I could get on the treadmill and run away from everything and everybody. The one plus was I was getting summer ready, although I wasn't sure exactly how much swimming I would get done in NYC. If I was home I would be in a pool every day. I didn't know if anyone in New York even had a pool in their back yard.March had started off pretty good, I had quit working at Brooke's dad's insurance office and was now working from home. For now, I was working from my bedroom, but I loved it. I had never thought people who worked from home actually did anything until I actually started. I stayed busy but it was nice to be able to set my own hours and work around my schedule.Seth and I talked either in text or by phone at least once a day. I still missed him but it was
By the time my flight landed in New York, I had talked myself into believing that I was just here to look at an apartment. I had talked myself into believing that I wasn't excited to see Seth. My confidence was all built on a lie but it was one I had told myself enough that even I was starting to believe it.Flying wasn't bothering me anymore and I found my bags without too much grief. Seth had told me he would have a car waiting for me, I would have rather have taken a cab but I was kinda glad to see my name on a sign when I exited. Handing my bags to the driver I hopped in the back almost feeling like a kid. I mean in my opinion I should be sitting up front, not in the back.The car took off and I looked out the window, it wasn't raining but the sun wasn't out either. It was just an overcast day that left you wondering what it would do. Traffic was backed up but it didn't bother me. I was in no hurry to face Seth. I imagined all the conversations I would have with him
As much as I wanted to crawl back in bed and just lay with Seth after we got out of the shower he insisted that we go ahead and go look at the apartment so we would have all day Saturday to spend with each other. Frowning I laid in the bed with my head in his lap as he called Devon, one of his assistants, to get things in order. His fingers ran through my hair as we waited on Devon's call.Seth had already told me that Devon had gone and seen the place a couple of weeks ago and he would be the one with us today. It must be nice having money and people who would jump when you snapped. Frowning I realized that I seemed to jump when Seth snapped too. Maybe it was just his personality. Either way, I was ready to see what he had found that he thought I would like.We took precaution as we left the hotel, Seth had arranged for us to be picked up at the back loading dock. Once in the SUV he grabbed my hand and sat back as his driver pulled out into the traffic. "I think t
The next morning it was obvious Seth was much more excited about my new place than I was. He was on my ass trying to get me to make a list of things I would need to stay at the apartment. Sitting at the bar I groaned laying my head down on the counter, "Seth really all I need is my bag, I mean it's not like I'll be there for more than a night."Seth was standing on the other side of the bar frowning at me, "you told me yourself you take your classes online. You work from home. Why can't you go ahead and move up here?"I arched my brow at him, "Umm besides the fact that Brooke would kill me? I mean I don't want to be up here alone Seth."He sighed walking over to sit on the stool beside me, "it's only two months plus I will come to see you as much as I can."Shaking my head I looked over at him, "all of my stuff is in Texas, Seth."He shrugged like it was no big deal, "so take your flight home, pack what you can bring with you, and anything e
We made it to the apartment a little after 2:30. Walking in the bright living room I still couldn't believe that this was mine, well somewhat mine. Turning around I looked up at Seth grinning, "this place is even better than I remembered."He smiled as he carried our bags down the hall and deposited them in my bedroom. Walking in the living room I smiled as I looked out the windows, I was still in awe of the view I would be able to see every day. "Are you going to be able to keep yourself entertained while I'm gone?"Turning I nodded at Seth, "I do it every day besides you won't be gone long right."He shook his head no leaning down to kiss me, "a couple of hours at the most. I'm going to put some money on the counter, give it to the delivery guy when he drops your stuff off ok."I nodded at him, "ok, well stay out of trouble, if you know how." He kissed me once again before he turned around winking at me before he shut the door. I could
My flight home had gone smoothly , the flying didn't bother me at all but the ride home always wore me out. Brooke and Christine were both waiting for me at the airport. I was bummed because I wanted to talk more to Brooke about what was going on. Brooke wasn't very talkative and it surprised me but it was still early for her so I let it go and instead talked to Christine most of the way home. I had a sinking suspicion that Brooke had told Christine who I had been in New York with. I couldn't prove it for a fact but something was off.
