" Going on a date with mr hot shot ?" Olivia teased as she drank her iced tea lemonade .
She was sitting on the couch with a oversized navy shirt and her hair tied in a messy bun .
She just finished her wild monkey sex with Andrew an hour ago and I had to suffer through the banging and moaning and it as just . . Ugh
I rolled my eyes at her as I twirled seeing my black Speggetti strap form fitting bodycon dress that reached three inches above the knee . There was a gold belt under the bust and a v line showed at my chest revealing a good amount of my chest area .
" It's not a date he just invited me over to this business thing at his building " I say running my fingers through my hair which was slightly wavy from my shower .
" Okay whatever you sayyy " Olivia says gleefully heading over to the island counter .
" So what's going on with you and Andrew?" I ask Liv as I sat on the bar stool .
She frowned pulling out a loaf of bread and Nutella .
" To be honest with you . I don't know , he's hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend all we do is , sex , sex , sex , sex all we do is sex , sex , " she jokes quoting the song by Rihanna - Work I chuckled shaking my head .
" But seriously Liv , this relationship you have with Andrew is not healthy you guys spend the majority hooking up every chance you get —"
" I know but he's just so good in —"
" Don't even finish that " I shake my head standing grabbing my clutch as I hear a soft honk outside .
" That's my ride , take care okay ? " I say and she nods taking a bite out of her sandwich .
" Yeah yeah , don't come back pregnant !" She says and my cheeks flushed as I closed the door .

Once I reached down outside I was surprised to see a limousine parked outside Seth stood next to it fixing his tie .
He wore a sharp two piece tux that probably costed more than my apartment .
He scanned me from head to toe his eyes scrutinizing my appearance a gleam in his bright blue grey eyes.
" Ms Cruz " he bowed taking my hand kissing my knuckles peering up at me with his thick lashes .
I blushed and smiled " Madden " I greeted and he stands up .
" You look lovely " he says opening the car door for me and I step in .
" Thanks your not so bad yourself " I tell him seeing his lips quirk up.
We arrive at the building and I see a red carpet and lines of paparazzi's who noticed the sudden arrival of the limo and began snapping photos .
My heat raced as I took deep breaths and Seth put his hand on my shoulder giving me a reassuring squeeze .
I took a deep breath and stepped out with Seth a bunch flashes flashed making me shield my eyes .
" Is that the mystery girl ?"
" Seth ! Is she your girlfriend !?"
" Oh my god "
It was a commotion out here and Seth gripped my hand as we rushed inside the building .
Inside had chandlers hung up giving the room a soft glow . Soft music played and sounds of glass drinks clattering and laughter and talking , there was a huge stage with velvet curtain and people wearing expensive outfits .
Everyone clapped as Seth entered and men on business suits came shaking his hand and having a conversation .
For the rest of the night I was stood next to Seth while he talked business and I felt bummed out thinking this is a date .
I sighed taking a cocktail off the tray from the waitresses walking around and took a long gulp .
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned seeing Maryann a wide smile plastered on her red colored plump lips .

Her dark hair the same color as Seth was curled and her make up was in a natural glow look .
" Why hello young lady you look lovely" she had a slight British accent .
I smiled " Thank you Mrs Madden " I say taking one last sip of my drink setting it down .
" So your the mystery girl ?" She says taking a sip from her wine .
I grabbed two cocktail's from a waitress " Yep " I took a big gulp finishing the first one then second one .
" You should slow down on the drinks don't wanna make mistakes " she winks sipping her drink.
My head felt fuzzy and I was stumbling in my heels smiling lazily at Maryann .
" So what's your career ?" She raises her brows .
" I'm a journalist and a waitress " I say and Maryann averts her eyes nodding .
" Wow two jobs ? Isn't that tiring ?" She asks me and I hiccuped shaking my head giggling .
" Nope " I grabbed a cocktail and Maryann grabbed it from me shaking her head .
" I think you've had enough sweet heart " she frowns .
I rolled my eyes as she handed me a water .
" Drink this to sober up " she says walking away and I set the water down going over to the bar .
" Can I get Vodka mixed with watermelon and kiwi ?" I ask the cute bartender .
He nods going to the back to fix my drink .
" Enjoying yourself ?" A deep soft voice says and I turned seeing a tall man .
He looked kind of like Seth with dark hair except he had brown eyes .
He sat next to me scanning me from head to toe satisfaction in his brown eyes .
The bartender handed me my drink and I downed it asking for another . I felt like getting drunk today.
" Just peachy " I say looking at my drink with a frown then downing it likening the sweet taste .
The stranger asked for a soft drink and starred at me for a while .
I glanced at him " I mean I know I'm cute an all but have your mother ever taught you that it's rude to stare ?" I slurred and he chuckles .
" Sorry can't help it when I see a gorgeous girl " he smirks showcasing a dimple and my cheeks flushed .
" wow I'm so flattered " I say sarcastically .
He took a deep breath " What's your name ?" He ask me drinking his coke .
" Lydia "
" Milo "
Suddenly I remembered Seth saying he had a older brother named Milo who's focusing on his singing career .
" Milo what are you doing here your suppose to be on stage soon " I heard Seth's irritated tone .
" Sorry I was talking to this beautiful woman here and got caught up " Milo winked at me as I drank my seventh shot .
I felt light headed and dizzy and I steady myself on the bar stool .
" Jesus Lydia calm down on the drinks will ya ?" Seth snatched my drink from my hands and I groaned .
" Why are you drinking a lot anyways ?" He says finishing off my last sip and I pout .
" Because I haven't drank in a while and it feels good to he drunk you know ? - and I thought this would be a date but sadly it isn't —"
" Wait. . You thought this would he a date ?" Seth said in disbelief .
" Y-yeah " I blushed .
" I only invited you as a friend at a gathering nothing else - Milo go up stage please " Seth snaps fixing his tie and walking away .
" That's cold " I hear Milo say beside me
