《Desire ✓ - OLD VERSION》» Chapter Twelve

Peer pressure .
That's how I felt as we got ready to take photos of ourselves for the vogue magazine .
I was dressed in a silk sparkly red strap maxi dress . Seth also matched with me as we stood next to the photographer explaining us what to do .
" You'll do great " Olivia says . I had invited her to come over since Maryann gave her a day off .
I took a deep breath and shook my
Head " I can't do it " I whisper to her and she puts her hands on my bare shoulders " Yes you can — I know you can " . Me and Seth positioned ourselves in front of the camera . It was quite awkward because I didn't know what to do .
" Hold onto each other !" The photographer calls out and I cleared my throat as Seth put his hands on my waist his touch hot making my heart pound .
I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and starred into his memorizing eyes . Today his eyes were a mix of grey and green .
" Good ! Awesome " he calls out again .
Music starts playing a slow upbeat song and I stood there not knowing what to do .
" Just dance around together !" Olivia shouts and I sighed .
Well here goes nothing .

I starred at the pictures of us . On one picture he was twirling me around my hair flaring out .
On one picture he had lifted me in the air smiling up at me , it's really did look like we were in love .
" Perfect !" The photographer smiled widely at the pictures . After the PhotoShoot I took off the dress seeing the red line down my shoulders from the strap .
" You did well " Seth says making me jump as I wipe makeup off my face .

" So did you " I say getting more makeup wipes as he stands there watching me . I turn in my seat glancing at him and he clears his throat fixing his tie , to come to know it I never seen him in a casual outfit .
" My mom is throwing us an engagement dinner this Saturday at 6pm " he tells me and I lean back in my chair closing my eyes and taking a deep breath .
" Sorry if this is to much for you " he puts his hands in his pockets .
I shrugged " It is what it is right ?" I twisted my mouth to the side as I stand picking up my bag.
" Look if you don't want to do this I can always find different girls for this role " Seth says crossing his arms and I sighed rolling my eyes .
" It's fine " he looks at me for a moment .
" Tomorrow We have dinner with my parents at six " Seth tells me as we leave the studio and head towards his car .
" Can't wait "

I opened the door and jumped in surprise as I spotted Olivia lip locking with . . Andrew .
My mouth gape open as they stood there like deer caught in headlights .
It was silent for a moment as we starred at each other .
Andrew cleared his throat picking up his shirt that was tossed on the floor .
" In just gonna . . Gonna leave " he coughs and rushed out the door .
I crossed my arms raising my brow at Olivia as she gave me a cheeky smile covering her bare chest .
" You have some explaining to do " I say and Olivia sighs .
" I know - I know " she turns away from me clasping her bra picking up her shirt .

" I thought you were done with him for good ?" I tell her pouring a glass of
Water .
" I was ! - but Maryann sent him here to get some packages from me and we . . Sort of had a moment " she averts her eyes and I shake my head .
" You have to stop this with him , he'll hurt you again " I say and she nods .
" But it's so hard " she whines.
" Well you have to deal with it " I sit on the couch beside her .
" Uhhh your not gonna want to sit on this couch " Olivia laughs nervously .
" Why ?" I slowly stood up raising my brow at her .
" We had sex on this couch ten minutes ago " she smiles sheepishly.
I shivered in disgust " Really ?! You could've took this in the bedroom —"
" I know but we were to intense to care" she bites her nails laughing nervously .
" Your going dispose this couch and get us a new one " I demand going to my room .

Leah a approached me as I type some information on my computer . I raised my brow as she stood there her arms crossed as she frowned .
" How come you never told me that you were Seth Madden's mystery girl " she plops down on my office chair .
" Sorry but I've been busy with this whole thing going on " I tell her stacking papers on my desk .
" And that your engaged ! " she shrieks her eyes wide .
I sighed rubbing my temples as Leah stand above me fumming .
" Leah I'm sorry for not telling you about all this stuff " I tell her honestly .
I don't know why she's upset were not exactly friends - I don't even have her number saved on my phone .
Leah rolls her eyes as she pulls out her phone typing a message " I'll see you later " she says leaving the my office .
