《Desire ✓ - OLD VERSION》» Chapter Seven
Advertisement
Weeks past and the buzz of the initials on my bracelet got even wide and I had no choice but to tell him that Was my bracelet because sometimes I would find myself rubbing my wrist like I would usually do .
" You alright ?" Ethan ask me as I stopped washing the dishes .
" Yeah . . Yeah I'm fine " I gave him a assuring smile he nods and leaves the kitchen .
After work I went home and Olivia wasn't here so I went on my laptop and typed in Seth Madden and a lot of results popped up including the initials thing and I clicked on where he works and his main building is in New York two minutes away from here .
I gasped as a familiar blonde popped up I clicked the video .
" It seems that Seth Madden found his mystery girl ! , the blonde beauty claimed that the bracelet was here . Seth questioned why she was a blonde but a brunette at the party and she says she's dyes her hair here and there , Seth found his match isn't that amazing ?"
The video ends and my mouth gaped open as I slam my laptop shut .
I texted Olivia .
« Where do Nick and Hannah live ?
» They live in a penthouse a couple minutes from our apartment y ?
» Go on google and type Seth Madden and you'll see
I grabbed my keys and headed towards here Nick lives .
I press the buzzer " yes ?"
" Is Nick Gallenger home ?" Ask
" Yes , may I ask who's this ?" The butler asks me .
" I'm Lydia Cruz "
" You may come in "
The elevator opens and I step in gripping my phone in my hands as I grit my teeth .
Once I reached the floor I head towards the door knocking on it .
The door opens and Nick answers shirtless and sweaty with a towel draped around his neck .
I marched in taking deep calming breaths .
The penthouse was large , with dark grey brick walls and dark wood floors and modern furniture which I'm sure one of Nick Architecture designers designed .
" Where is she ?!" I questioned .
" Hannah's at work —"
" Bullshit , I bet you she's with Seth look at this " I shove the news of her in his face and watched as he scanned the phone frowning .

" No this can't be true " Nick shakes his head .
" Well it is ! , that's my bracelet not her's I can't believe she would do this ?!" I groaned .
" Your the mystery girl ?" Nick said and I rolled my eyes .
" Yes ! , my mom made that bracelet for me as a gift " I huffed and Nick grips his hair .
" I cannot believe Hannah would do this behind my back " Nick shakes his head .
The door opens and Hannah comes in a happy smile on her face .
" Work was so tire—"
" Why did you lie about being the mystery girl " I snapped and her smiles faltered as she glared at me .
" Because —" she then noticed that Nick was standing there his arms crossed as he clenched his jaw .
" N-Nick hey " Hannah greets him with a kiss but he pulls away .
" Why did you do this Hannah " he says calmly and knowing Nick for years I knew he was gonna explode soon .
" And why did you lie " I add in and Hannah glares daggers at me then her features turn soft as she looked at Nick looking genuinely sorry .
My ass . .
" Nick , I don't know what I was thinking I just wanted to be better then all the girls , I'm new here and I just wanted to fit in you know ?" She wraps her arms around his waist but Nick pulls back .
" If you wanted to fit in this is not the solution " he snaps and a hurt look flashed her face as he yanked his jacket .
" I'm going for a walk " he says briefly slamming the door .
It was silent and I sighed through my nose " How did you know my initials " I say and she crossed her arms pursing her lips .
" When we were in Texas and you were asleep I caught a glimpse of it " she admits flipping her blonde hair aside .
" Why would you do this ? And make up a lie saying you dye your hair brown ? Seth is a naive man if he believes you —"
" I'm gonna go to him and tell him I lied I can't do this to Nick " Hannah says her eyes glistening and I shake my head .

" So why'd you do this in the first place knowing it'll hurt him " I questioned her and she closes her eyes .
" I was tired of living in Nicks shadow , while he was a football player I was a no good fiancé who got hit by a football people only know me as his fiancé that's it , I just did this to spike attention sorry if I lied " he says handing me my bracelet and I snatch it holding it against my chest .
" Now can you please leave " she snaps and I didn't need to be told twice as I leave the penthouse .
I was at work at the Restaurant it was quite dull since Ethan is out of town in Hawaii attending his older sister's wedding .
I was awaiting tables since it was a rush hour .
I was playing with my bracelet when the door opened and in came in Seth with his dark Ray Bans and two buff bodyguards beside him shielding him from the paparazzi's outside .
I heard a couple of squeals from college and high school girls in the corner .
Girls rushed over holding out phones and trying to touch Seth but the bodyguards shoved them aside leaving Seth in the private dinning room .
" You'll take that ?" My co-worker Hayley says as she chews her fun flipping over a magazine .
" Yeah " I his my bracelet in my sleeve .
I took the menus and headed to the dinning room moving the squealing girls aside and moving past the bodyguards shielding the curtains and opening the red velvet curtain .
I take deep breaths seeing Seth looking down at his phone his jaw hardening .
I set the menu down and he doesn't look up .
" What would you like to drink ?" I ask and he doesn't respond he's looking down at his phone angrily .
I cleared my throat " What would you like to drink ?" He snapped his head up to me and I couldn't see his eyes beneath those dark glasses .
" Let me get a red wide " he snaps and I scribble it down .
" I'll be back to take your order " I swallowed leaving the private room noticing my bracelet was kind of loose .
I tightened it and went to the back area to get the wine glasses and asking our bartender Reece to fill it up .
I put a slice of lemon on the rim and carry his glass on the small tray .
I set it down and Seth is looking down at the table stroking his chin looking deep in thought .
" Anything to order ? " I ask and he sighs taking the menu .
" Let me just get a Lobster with a side of garlic bread " he shooed me away and I scowled scribbling it down and leaving putting the order on the line which Hayley takes and go to the kitchen to prepare it with the other chefs .
After his food was done I grabbed the tray putting his food on it and going back to the private room placing it down and my bracelet slid down my wrist and I noticed Seth looking down at it .
I quickly left seeing it's six and that my shift is over .
I took off my apron ready to bolt , I left out back hailing a can when I heard heavy footsteps behind me .
I felt someone grip my arm and I turned seeing the blazing bright eyes of Seth Madden .
" Are you . . " he trailed off breathless .
I shook my head " I don't know what your talking about " I lie .
" It is you , you have the same blue green eyes and you have that small beauty mark on your nose like it remembered " he says softly and I close my eyes .
" Fine you've found me , too bad this isn't the glass slipper moment " he chuckles lowly and I noticed a flash in the corner of my eye but I was getting too lost in his memorizing eyes to care .
" I'm having this get together at my building . . You should come " he says and I nod .
" Sure , can't wait "
