My mouth gaped open like a fish as they both starred at me like deer caught in headlights .
I set down the stuff from the fair on the coffee table by the door .
" Can you guys please explain me what's going on? Because... Last I checked your engaged to Nick " Hannah sighs looking guilty as her eyes filled with tears .
" Your engaged ?!" Seth snapped clenching his fist his teeth gritted as his nostrils flared out in anger .
Hannah's mouth gaped open like a fish before she broke down , tears steaming down her face and her shoulders sagged down .
" I-I'm sorry " she sniffed wiping her tears " I didn't mean for this to happen —"
" Bullshit " Seth growled and me and Hannah both flinched at his loud angry voice .
" Get the hell out of my house " he pointed towards the door .
Hannah opened her mouth but Seth slammed his fist against the wall making a dent causing me to jump two feet in the air .
" Get the hell out of my house !" Hannah didn't need to be told twice she grabbed her large Prada bag and bolted out stopping to give me a pleading look .
" Please don't tell Nick " she sobbed before closing the door behind her .
The room was silent as I slowly turned towards Seth crossing my arms .
" What happened to not being home all night ?" I hissed at him and he rolled his eyes rubbing his swollen busted bleeding knuckles .
" The meeting I was going to have with the board in Germany got delayed because a bad tornado had hit there homeland and I wanted to help , to send money and help out " Seth sighs sitting on the stairs steps running his fingers through his hair looking up at me at his bright blue grey eyes .
" So please explain to me what is going on with you and Hannah " I snapped .
Seth took a deep breath " We've been hooking up for weeks now , she had a private interview with me in my house and things got pretty personal and heated " he explained rubbing his knuckles .
I knelt down his eyes watched me guarded and cautious as I starred at his big hands .
I pulled his hand examing his swollen knuckles which were bleeding .

" Come on " I rolled my eyes standing up leading him to the bathroom making him sit on the toilet as I grab a First-Aide-Kit .
I applied some alcoholic wipes hearing his intake of breaths .
" I didn't know she was engaged " Seth breaks the silence and I sighed shrugging .
" Can't believe she's doing this to Nick" Seth stiffens .
" The guys you kissed ?" He raised his brow as I wrapped his knuckles with wool .
" Yeah " I say adding tapes .
" He cheated , she cheated doesn't make a difference " he says .
" What do you mean ?"
" Well obviously this engagement is not going well if there going behind each other's backs " Seth stands and I stumbled back caught off guard .
" What is wrong with you sneaking off with Hannah would if the press found out you were having a affair with an engaged woman " I snapped placing my hand on my hip .
" Unlike you I don't be in the streets going on dates and kissing guys " he narrowed his eyes angrily at me .
" I don't go on ... wait how do you know I go on dates " I raised my brow .
" Don't think I don't keep tabs on where your going —"
" You got to he kidding me ! " I raised my hands in the air my arms falling down " It's like I don't have a life ! —"
" Excuse me for trying to keep an eyes on you before you go out kissing random guys like a slut " he growled standing up his firm chest pressed against mines making me stumble back .
He caught my forearms before I fell back pulling me forward our chest pressed firmly together .
I could feel his heartbeat and it was going fast as mines .
I looked up seeing were a hair brush away from our lips touching .
Some unreadable emotion flashed across his bright eyes but it was gone in a instant .
The phone ringing broke our trance we broke apart quickly he cleared his throat his cheeks a light shade of pink .
" I'm gonna uh ... Make some dinner "
" Yeah you do that " his voice cold and emotionless and I furrowed my brows as I leave the bathroom confused .

My dress was beautiful the top to hips clung to my body while the bottom party flared out .
It was strapless and had a sweetheart neckline and had silver sparkling jewels going down and sprawled out .
I had a long veil placed on my neat curled hair .
" You look gorgeous !" Maryann cheered " I can't wait for the real wedding " she beamed and I smiled as we got ready .
The bridesmaids dresses went up first and Hannah will be up next .
She was the second bride after me and she wore a sweat heart strapless white gown the bottom part flowed out like a princess dress .
She's been giving me pleading looks but I ignored her .
" Your up next " Olivia said speaking angrily through the mic piece by her mouth .
" I don't care ! Just do it " she snapped .
I took a deep breath as I got in position to get ready to walk the runway .
Once the song change I slowly walk forwards seeing bright flashy lights .
Cheers surrounded me as I walked down the runaway careful not to fall .
I felt glowing and beautiful as every person I passed shot me a apprehensive smile . I caught the eyes of Milo and Patrick and his wife and son and they shot me thumbs up while Milo winked giving me a flirty smile .
Once I reach the end I smiled and posed and walked away keeping my head straight .
Once I reached backstage I took a deep breath , Maryann came towards me engulfing me in a tight hug.
" You were awesome everyone loved you !" Maryann squealed and I smiled taking the pins out of my hair sitting on the vanity chair .
" Thank you I had fun " I say and Maryann smiles widely rubbing my arm .
" I'm glad you did - Girls you guys did great ! But I should see more improvement next week " Maryann snaps as she leaves .
" She's only nice to her because she's Seth's fiancé " I heard a girl whisper .
I glanced at her seeing two girls giving me the stink eye .
" Yeah what does he see in her anyways " the other girl says brushing her golden locks .
" Well whatever he sees in her I don't see it " the brunette girl says and I turn feeling my heart race .
Those words hurt but I could care less ..

Today Nick was getting married and I decided to tell him about Hannah .
I still love Nick after all that's happened and I don't want to watch someone I love marry a girl who cheated on him .
Nick was at the bar with his football friends stalking time until the wedding .
I opened the door the sound of indie rock and smells of sweet liquor filled my ears and nostrils .
Nick was at the bar stool with five other guys laughing and drinking .
I walked up to Nick tapping his shoulder he turns and widens his blue eyes looking at me in surprise .
" Hey Lyd " he stands giving his friends a nod and dragging me to a dark corner .
" Nick I have something to tell you " I say and he nods for me to continue .
I take a deep breath watching his eyes " Hannah is cheating on you " I blurt and I watched his eyes .
No surprise or hurt was evident in them making me furrow my brows .
He sighs running his hands through his golden hair " There's something I need to tell you " he place his hands on my bare shoulders .
" Me and Hannah aren't ... Really a thing " he tells me and my mouth gapes in horror .
" What do you mean ?"
" Were only dating so that her dad can give me his company SportsZone it's a publishing company about sports and I wanted to own it forever . And Hannah is only dating me so she can get more modeling gigs so it's a win-win for us ."
" I can't believe this " I shake my head " Why didn't you tell me ? " I ask crossing my arms .
" I wanted you to think I moved on " he says frowning .
" You didn't have to show me you moved on like this ?" I say wrapping my arms around him .
A flash started and I broke apart from Nick my eyes wide as I see about five paparazzi's swarming around my clicking pictures .
" Are you having an affair with the NFL most best football player ?"
" Are you guys together ?"
" Did he get you pregnant?"
Oh no...
