We Are Not Friends
I had never responded to Seth's last email, I couldn't. I didn't know what to say. In all honesty, I was afraid I would break, so I just didn't email him back. It had been a week since we had talked. I knew from Brooke that he was still in town but as far as I was aware he hadn't been back to her place, of course neither had Dutch. He was now banned from her apartment until he learned to behave. Not that it stopped her from going to him.
Friday had been a killer day, I had been called into a staff meeting only to be trapped at the office for eight hours as we went over the holiday design plans. Leaving the office I shook my head seeing it was already past 5 PM. I stopped by the grocery store to pick up a few things before heading home. Brooke had let me know she was going out with Dutch tonight when I had texted her inviting her over to eat. Selfishly I was kind of aggravated at her for not being mad at him anymore about the whole Seth situation. I had yet to speak to him sin

Broken Promises I Need You
The next morning I awoke feeling as if yesterday had been all a dream. Seth had left after settling me down and I was more than a little disappointed that him leaving had been his idea and not mine. I was supposed to have been the one to kick him out of my condo but instead, I had clung to him as he held me. Weak, I was fucking weak where he was concerned. I knew I was in denial. I still loved him and as much as I hated him I wanted his words to be true.Getting up I reached over grabbing my phone frowning when I saw that my phone had no new messages, the only thing happening on it was my email. Walking to the bathroom I reached down turning my bathtub water on adding in some rose oil. Brushing my hair I twisted it up before sinking down into the hot water. Reaching forward to turn the water off I leaned back staring up at my ceiling. I hadn't slept good last night, in fact, I had to resist the urge to call Seth several times. Damn him for having the nerve to show up he
Broken Promises Peace in his Arms
The words had shocked us both. I hadn't expected them to fall from my lips but now they were out I couldn't find it in me to retract them. If I was honest with myself at all I would admit it was true. I needed him to wrap me in his arms and tell me things would be ok. I needed him to fight for me. Hell, I needed him to restore my faith in him.He had told me he was on his way and the entire time I waited I was a nervous wreck. My stomach was in knots and my hands were shaking. I paced around in my living room as I waited, I felt like the rug should be threadbare from all the circles I had walked. In the end, it took him about thirty minutes before he knocked on my door. Even expecting him my heart stopped beating at the sound. It was as if the room suddenly had all of the air sucked out of it as I made my way to the door unlocking it with shaking hands.Opening the door slowly I took Seth in. He had changed and was in a pair of grey sweats and a simple white tee. Damn
Broken Promises I Love You
The next morning I awoke to an empty bed and I could almost make myself believe that I had dreamed up the whole night. Almost, the fact that was laying naked in bed and could smell coffee made it clear that last night had been no dream. Looking up at the ceiling I wondered if I was actually ready to forgive him, could I really move past what all had gone down between us.Getting up I went to the restroom and took care of my morning routine before pulling on some leggings and an oversized tee. Sliding on some socks I headed toward the kitchen, pausing in the entry. I couldn't help but smile as I found Seth placing bacon in a skillet and had things out to make eggs. Walking into the room I poured myself a cup of coffee before sitting at the bar so I could watch Seth cook.Seth turned to look at me before washing his hands, "I hope you don't mind. I was going to bring you breakfast in bed."I nodded, "no you're good."He arched his brow walking up beside me.
Broken Promises Long Distance
It had been almost two months since I had seen Seth. When he had said that he had a crazy schedule he meant it. Fate seemed to be against us, the few days he had been in LA, I had been in New York for a meeting. Things had just not been working out for us.To his credit Seth had been silent in the media, the last gossip concerning him had been about the two of us and our on-again, off-again relationship. We spoke on the phone every night and would text several times throughout the day but it wasn't the same. Long-distance relationships sucked, especially when you didn't really know what kind of relationship you were in. We had said we would work on it, but did that mean we were together. I swear I felt like I was back one page one.It hadn't taken me long to find out who had sent me the flowers when Seth had been down. Phillip, one of my senior advisors had sent them, however, once word got out that I had been seen with Seth the flowers halted. I kind of felt sorry for h
Broken Promises Suprise
The moment my alarm clock went off I jumped up, even though I hadn't gotten much sleep I was full of adrenaline. Brushing my hair I pulled it up in a bun and did a natural look with my makeup. I had laid out some ripped knee jeans that had leopard print where the holes were and a black tank. Sliding on my shoes I pulled on a white button-up shirt leaving it open in case the flight was cold.I made it to the airport in plenty of time to grab something to eat before take off. My luggage was checked in and my carry one consisted of my laptop bag along with my wallet and lipgloss. My desire to surprise Seth was fading fast and I began to come up with several flaws in my actions. Things could go horribly wrong. We had never really labeled ourselves a couple again just that we would try and work things out.Groaning I made my way to my gate, it would open to board soon and I was ready to get on the plane before I changed my mind and ran back home with my tail in between my l
Broken Promises Over
I awoke to a loud boom of thunder, the rain pelted against the balcony door sounding like rocks hitting it. Seth groaned at my movement pulling me back down to him. "Umm is there like a hurricane or something coming," I asked trying my best to remember if I had heard anything about one.Seth sighed pulling me closer to him, "Nah, it's just a storm. It will pass." Nodding at him I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. In fact, I couldn't keep still. I knew I was bothering Seth so I gently eased up and made my way to the bathroom.Turning on the water in the bathtub I got in and took a quick bath before getting out and changing into a pair of cheetah print PJ shorts and a beige tank. Making my way downstairs I dug through the fridge looking for something to cook for lunch. It was almost 12 and I was starving. Seth didn't do much cooking and I was having a hard time finding something that wasn't snack food. Yawning I opened the freezer knowing that it
Broken Promises Time Alone
That night I lay in bed unable to sleep, Seth wasn't speaking to me and was currently downstairs doing only God knew what. It pissed me off he was being a jerk after I tried to compromise with him. I loved him, but I wasn't ready to take a leap of faith and just uproot myself for the second time in my life. I mean shit my parents only just started talking to me again.Sighing I rolled over looking out the balcony door. The rain had stopped and everything now was still and quiet, too quiet. It was driving me insane. Why couldn't things be easy just once with him? The rest of my life seemed to have fallen into place, it was just his piece that didn't seem to fit. Maybe it wasn't supposed to.Rolling back over to my back I grabbed my phone seeing it was only 11:30. I had brought myself to bed at 10:30 out of pure boredom. Placing my phone back on the nightstand I threw the covers off me. This was stupid, Seth was acting like a spoiled little boy who didn't get his way so no
Broken Promises Slice of Paradise
Seth wouldn't tell me where we were going until we were about to land. Turks and Caicos didn't sound like a place I would ever want to visit but as I exited the plane I quickly changed my mind. I looked around in pure awe as I took everything in.I waited patiently as Seth took care of our business. He had told me before we landed that we would be on a private beach and would have to take a boat there. I couldn't believe he had planned all this. Not Seth. Not after the fight we had, I had been certain we were over when I boarded the jet. Now I didn't know what to think.The boat ride didn't take long and as soon as the crew unloaded our bags we were left to ourselves. Seth walked behind me looking rather proud of himself as he followed me as I looked around. Opening the sliding glass door I stepped outside, "How did you manage all this in less than a day?"Seth walked up behind me wrapping his arms around me, "I went to the studio to calm down but I kept worr
