The ice ball was in two days , the office was buzzing with news about the ice ball on Saturday .

" Seth Madden is going to be there " my co - worker Leah says .

Leah was a bubbly person . She talks a lot and laughs loud but over all she's really sweet .

" Honestly I don't know what's so good about him " I shake my head reach into my office and sitting down .

My office was just plain with light grey walls and a dark brown office desk and a plant in the corner and some collogues of photos of my high school years .

Leah gapes at me her eyes wide " What's so good about him ?! , don't get me started on his eyes —"

" What's so good about his eyes ?" I rub my temples . Olivia kept me all night blabbering about Seth this and Seth that .

" There this brightest blue like cool watery ocean blue and he has green and silver fleck around his orbs . It's just so ugh so sexy " Leah sighs dreamily .

" And his hair . . OHHH his hair , looks so soft and is the color of chocolate . . His jawline is so perfect his cheek bones are flawless ugh " Leah groans and I widen my eyes at her as she closed her eyes bitting her lips .

" Okay Leah , how about we change the subject yeah ?"

" I just can't wait for the ice ball I have this sexiest dress that I can't wait for him to see , you do know we have to wear mask right ?" Leah says her hazel eyes wide .

" We do ? "

" Yeah it said it on the card invitations " she pulls out the card out of her purse .

I rolled my eyes " this isn't no masquerade ball " I hand her back the card .

" So ? , it's still awesome . Plus on the website they said whoever finds Seth gets to keep him for the night and I strive to find him " Leah says .

" Website ? What website ?"

" It's a website where we post things about gossip and stuff it's kinda like that show I watch called Gossip Girl " Leah says sitting at the edge of my desk typing on her phone .

" Anyways , Seth has commitment issues but he was in a interview yesterday and he said he might try to find a woman at the ice ball that catches his eyes and hopefully that's me " she says confidently .

" Well good luck with that , there thousands of other girls out there just saying " I say as Leah leaves .

After work deiced to head to Olivia's work I brought her Chiptole knowing she loves those things .

The elevator doors open and I walked in seeing people scurrying around with mannequins and fabrics hanging off there arms .

I scanned the room seeing Olivia with the sowing machine a scowl on her face as she sowed quickly .

I walked over and she looks up a happy smile on her face she gets up and squeeze me tight .

" I love you !" She grabs the Chiptole bag from me eating away .

" No eating on the job Ms Oxford " snapped a man with a heavy British accent .

I looked up seeing a handsome man man who looks in his early twenties .

He had dirty curly messy blonde hair sharp features and bright hazel eyes .

" Andrew I'm really hungry right now —"

" I am Mr Collins to you , I don't give a damn if you hungry the ice ball is in two days and I don't have time for this ! " he grabs the Chiptole and throws it in the garbage then marching off .

" See what I mean about douche bag ?" Olivia grumbles and I nod .

" What an asshole I payed twelve dollars for that thing " I shake my head fishing a snack out of my bag .

I pulled out the left over half eaten sand which and hand it to Olivia and she signs in relief .

" Hurry and ear before he comes back here " I ushered her and laughed as she stuff it in her whole mouth .

Once we got home Olivia booked us an manicure and pedicure appointment tomorrow at two then on Saturday our gay friend Luke will do our make up since he's a make up artist .

Some knocked on the door interrupting me from watching spongebob .

I opened the door seeing Nick .

I blinked then furrowed my eyebrows .

" Hey . . Nick what are you doing here ?" I then noticed I was wearing pajama cotton short short a white crop top and long white socks .

Nick scanned my outfit then smiled " Olivia invited me , Hannah been working all day and I had nothing to do so she invited me for dinner "

Damn you Olivia .

I know what Olivia is trying to do , she's trying to make me and Nick and I ' reconnect ' I told her there no chance because he's engaged and I've moved on . .

Sort of . .

" Okay . . Come in " I step aside and he walks in and examined the house .

" Cute home " he grins and sits down on the sofa .

" Thanks " I sit next to him un-pausing the show .

" you still love this show ?" Nick asks .

" I never stopped " I say and in the corner of my eye I noticed him watching me .

" Lydia I have — "

" Hey Nick !" Olivia chirps her hair wet from her shower .

" Hey Liv " Nick stand and hugs her tight .

Olivia glances at me and mouths ' this is your chance '

I rolled my eyes at her " So , Nick how long have you and barb— Hannah been together " Olivia plops on the recliner .

" Three years " Nick chirps .

" Wow , how did you guys meet ?" Olivia fakes happiness and I snort quietly .

" Well I was at practice and Hannah was there to watch her cousin who's on my team , I threw the football but it went to the bleachers and hit her head , I took her to the hospital and while she was getting recovered we talked and then from then on " Nick explains and Olivia coos's

" That's cute , Lydia found a boyfriend too right Lyd? " Olivia says and I choke .

" Wha — "

" She's currently seeing this boy named Ethan he works with her at the restaurant there so cute " Olivia says and I glare daggers at her .

" That's great Lydia I'm happy for you " Nick grins and I gave him a fake grin .

" Thank you " I grit my teeth and send Olivia a death glare .

" Who wants pizza !" Olivia chirps sending me a apologetic look.
