TORI'S POV *
We arrive at one of the restaurants at Meatpacking district. I've never been here before considering my long residence in the Big Apple. Zach really knows to impress a girl. I give him that, considering he dated a bunch of girls, he sure knows that tricks.
We headed inside and a waitress approached us, leading us to our seats. She greeted us and gave us menus and that's where I noticed something. She's talking softly to Zach, giggling every time Zach gave her our order. She kept on doing this mannerism of tucking her hair back to her ear and batting her lashes. Flirting.
Zach on the other hand is busy ordering. He really knows the dishes here. I wonder if he had any idea that the waitress in flirting at him. After he completed the orders, the waitress winked at him and looked at me with a sinister face. When she's completely gone, I started to chortle.

ZACH'S POV ** I wasn't expecting anything in return after that whole Samantha and the waitress scene. But I could see it in her eyes somehow she enjoyed my company. For a certified bookworm, she sure did catch me off-guard. She kissed me on the cheek.How interesting. I touched the side of my cheek where she left me a kiss.I could still feel the warmth of her lips and I can't forget that innocent look on her face. It's amazing how a friendly gesture for other people made her react like that. I wonder what her reaction would be if it was a real one. Sooner or later she will give in to my irresistible charm. I'm actually curious when or how she'll be begging for these badass lips one way or another.I have to admit she's really interesting. She's different from the girls I usually go out with. I mean she's totally okay with her boyfriend flirting with someone else. Alt
* TORI'S POV * I can't believe so much happened in just one day. Zach showing up at my apartment, the Samantha thing, Nathan's confrontation, skipping class, the lunch date, did I miss anything?As the elevator was going up to our floors, the silence made me think about the things that transpired today. I was trying to recall something missing with the events that occurred. Then it hit me.I kissed him! I thought in utter shock and horror.I could feel my eyes widening. It was a big deal for me since I just kissed the guy I hated most. It was hard to accept that on my part. He must think I'm trying too hard to be all flirty. More importantly, how or where did I kiss him again? I was reacting like I kissed him on the lips but as I recall; I swear, I kissed him on the cheek. A friendly gesture was what I thought, but we're not exactly just friends, are we?
ZACH'S POV **It was pretty late when I got home from our little get together. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard like that. It was one hell of a night indeed.Bro's will be Bro's. I thought to myself, opening the door to the penthouse.I stepped inside a bit tipsy. I'm usually hardcore when it comes to drinking so it wasn't a surprise that I got home safely. Those bozos never stood a chance."Boris? Boris!" I looked for Boris, my butler. I could smell the stench of alcohol in me so I wanted a remedy. A tall glass of milk usually does the trick. I headed to the kitchen and passed by the living room. "Boris? Where are you? Get me a glass of milk! I'm..." I was startled by the figure standing in front of the fireplace.Those dickheads have a lot of explaining to do. The hell did they put in my drink? I'm not that wasted. I really need that milk. Th
** ZACH's POV ** What time is it? I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes and shut it the moment sunlight touched them. Immediately, I covered my head with a pillow trying to fight the massive headache I was having. I sat on bed scratching my head trying to piece together what went down yesterday.Images flashed in my head. The time I spent with Tori, the boys, Chloe... how did I end up in bed anyway?I reached for the clock. It was already half past ten in the morning. Damn it! I missed two classes! I quickly stood up from bed. As I was heading to the door to look for Boris, I suddenly felt a massive headache."Fuck!" My cursed as I held my head with both hands."Care for a glass of milk sir?" Boris came out of nowhere with a glass of milk in his hand."Boris! Thank God! Give me that!" I finished the whole glass in one gulp. A
* TORI'S POV * I was never much of a party girl. The loud music, overcrowded clubs, awkward conversations, it just wasn't my thing. Yet, here I am looking for something to wear to Zach's party, or rather Zach's friend's party.I kept on scanning my closet for clothes and I just couldn't find anything or maybe I just didn't know what to wear. Chloe would always receive invitations to parties. Since I'm always with her, I'd also be invited but I always make up excuses not to go."I give up!" I said in frustration.I walked out of my closet and jumped on my bed landing on my back.What are you planning Zach?Does he plan on making me jealous again? I thought of the time he introduced me to Samantha. That's just stupid. He wouldn't do the same thing twice. Unless... I had the worst realization of the situation at the party. I im
TORI'S POV * "Zach, I..."I was surprised at what he did. I looked at his face. I was so close to him I couldn't help but blush a little.'Stop it! Use your brain silly!' I scolded myself and avoided eye contact with him.This is actually the first time I saw him in casual clothes. He was just wearing a polo shirt and simple pants but the way he looked right now is simply awesome. He wasn't trying hard to be the hot guy in the party but I had to admit, he really looks good and hot!"Are you blushing?" He asked giving me a smile."No! It's just... I'm kinda embarrassed with all these people staring at me.""No worries, you'll be fine. Besides, everyone knows you're with me now." He moved his face close to mine and put his hands gently on my cheeks. I couldn't take my eyes off him. "See what I'm doing? You
* ZACH'S POV ** "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." Tori hurriedly stood up and walked away."Cute girlfriend, Zach." James said with a grin."Lucas? Seriously?" I asked him directly."What about it?" He answered as if it didn't matter."Let's not play games, James.""It's been my name for as long as I remember, what's the big deal?" He said with a snicker."You told me before you didn't like that name." I stated firmly."I didn't mean that. I kinda like it." James said sipping from his drink."Don't you think it's kinda stupid of you to give out your real name to some stranger you just met?" I said in frustration."She's not a stranger. She's your girlfriend." He emphasized."You just knew that." He's really trying
** TORI'S POV **James' party was kicking off. A lot of people were dancing, drinking, and laughing their socks off unlike earlier. I could tell they're having a blast. The place is more crowded now. As I made my way through the sea of people, I thought of the things James said to me. I just don't get him! I went to Zach as I saw him sitting alone."You alright? Who was it?" Zach asked the moment I sat at our booth."I'm fine. Sonia was just wondering how I'll get home." I said sipping from my drink."You didn't tell her I'd take care of it?""About that... she's not very fond of you.""I can see that. Anyway, you and James had fun?" He inquired with a smirk."He actually apologized. We're cool now, I guess.""Well that's good to hear." He said finishing his glass. "Where is he anyway?""He said h
