Rain on my Parade
Walking into my room I went and placed my bags on the bed. I had been happy to see that we had two rooms separated by a living area and mini kitchen. Seth had never actually said he would be staying here with me but if he was he damn well needed his own room. I debated about changing clothes. I had gone comfy for the plane ride wearing jeggings and an oversized shirt. Deciding I was fine I walked back into the main area going over to the large floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked downtown. As beautiful as it was I couldn't imagine how amazing the view would be at night.
My nerves were getting the best of me so I returned to my room and pulled my dress out that I wanted to wear to my interview. As I hung it up I sighed, it had been my biggest struggle in deciding what to pack. I had no idea what kind of company I was going to interview for therefore I had no idea the atmosphere. All I knew for sure was it was one of his friend's offices. I began to think maybe

Broken Promises Some Type of Way
Walking into the hotel I felt eyes on me. I knew the front desk people were staring at the poor drowned rat who walked in barefoot but I ignored them walking straight to the elevator. Waiting for it to open I dug out my keycard clutching it along with my shoes in my hands. I was freezing, with my luck, I would catch pneumonia. Here I was at the end of February in a sleeveless dress short dress walking barefoot in the rain.The elevator doors opened and I stepped in feeling the tears that I had tried so hard to hold back break free. Once free it was like a flood, I couldn't do this. I would tell Seth thanks for everything but this wasn't for me.The door opened in front of me and I walked forward not paying much attention to where I was going. Our suite was easy enough to find. It was the last one down the hall. As I slid my key in the door I turned the knob pushing the door open. My shoes and purse fell to the floor as the door shut behind me. Hearing a noise I l
Broken Promises Stay With Me
I awoke alone in the dark. Sitting up I had that momentary panic attack that you sometimes had when you woke up in a strange place. Glancing at the window I saw the sun had set and was now replaced by the beautiful New York skyline. Turning toward the door I noticed it was cracked letting in the tiniest sliver of light from the main room.Standing up I paused, the place was silent. I had no idea if Seth was on the other side of those doors or not. Walking toward the door I opened it as quietly as possible pausing at the sight in front of me. Seth was shirtless lounging on the couch smoking. For my sake I really needed him to put his shirt back on. I had yet to fully process what happened earlier, I didn't need any other distractions. Our eyes connected and he nodded for me to come to him.I didn't know if I was mentally ready to face him, I didn't know what to say. Still, I walked slowly toward him as if I was on my way to my maker. Seth arched his brow watching
Broken Promises Talk to Me
Seth's words scared me more than comforted me. I had a feeling he was telling me the truth, he wasn't done with me yet. The problem was I had no idea what he wanted from me. Standing up I walked to the window looking out at the New York skyline. The view from the huge window was like something out of a movie, I could sit here all night and be happy.Sinking down on the soft plush carpet I placed my hand on the window, it was still raining outside giving everything a blurry surreal look. Seth walked over sitting beside me on the floor placing his back against the window, "what's going on in that head of yours."I shrugged, "besides what I told you, you don't want to talk about it until tomorrow remember."Seth cut his eyes at me standing up. I glanced back at the window figuring I had made him mad but he returned with his ashtray and a box.Shaking my head I watched him start breaking down his weed separating the seeds and stems. He looked up at me, "talk.
Broken Promises One Day at a Time
The next morning I awoke in Seth's arms. Stretching I looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand seeing it wasn't even 8 am yet. As much as I wanted to snuggle back up to Seth I needed to use the restroom. Laying flat on my back I looked over at Seth and felt my heart catch. I needed to get my ass up cause laying in bed with him I was catching feelings. Who the fuck was I kidding I had already developed feelings for him.Sliding out of bed I went to the restroom before heading to my own room. My clothes were scattered from the bedroom to the main room and I couldn't help but laugh as I picked them up piece by piece. Seeing the phone laying on the coffee table I walked over to pick it up and saw that Seth's phone was lighting up. I couldn't not see the name that flashed on the screen, Tina, as in Christina. Shaking my head I grabbed my phone and walked into my room.I refused to think about if what Seth said last night was true or not. For now, I would concentrate on t
Broken Promises In the Club
I stared back at my reflection in the mirror, the girl staring back at me had clearly lost her mind. I really didn't want to go to a club, I didn't do clubs by choice, and I had a feeling something bad was going to happen tonight. I had straightened my hair taking my time doing it right so it was perfect, I took my time with my makeup ensuring that it was flawless.Pulling down the hem of my dress I frowned as I slid on my heels. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath, I wasn't ready to go out and face Seth. I was nervous to go out and meet him. I knew it was stupid I mean I had worn this outfit to a damn club in Dallas, but for some reason, it was different this time. Looking in the mirror one last time I opened the door and stepped out into the main room.Seth was wearing a pair of creased down jeans and a starched white t-shirt. As he looked up I stopped walking frowning, "if you can wear that, why do I have to wear this dress."Seth grinned at me biting his bo
Broken Promises Going Home
Sitting with my legs crossed on Seth's bed I tried not to cry. Saturday had arrived out of nowhere. Friday we had been lazy and stayed in bed most of the day, and now this morning I sat watching as Seth packed his bags. His flight left a good 3 hours before mine. I would have rather been the one to leave first, I think it would have been easier, for me at least. I knew it was time for me to check back in with reality, but I didn't want to. I was content to stay in this hotel room with him forever.Seth looked up at me as he zipped his bag closed, "why are you over there pouting?"I frowned at him, "because I'm going to miss your ass that's why."He grinned at me walking to the bed and sat slightly in front of me, "I told you I would wear you down."I rolled my eyes leaning my head against his shoulder, "you will call me tonight right?"He nodded kissing my forehead, "yeah, you know I will see you again right? This isn't goodbye forever."
Broken Promises In the Media
It took me a good week to fully get over my time with Seth. I had walked around the house in a zombie like state for a while but Brooke helped to pull me out of my pity party. I started going back to the gym because I could get on the treadmill and run away from everything and everybody. The one plus was I was getting summer ready, although I wasn't sure exactly how much swimming I would get done in NYC. If I was home I would be in a pool every day. I didn't know if anyone in New York even had a pool in their back yard.March had started off pretty good, I had quit working at Brooke's dad's insurance office and was now working from home. For now, I was working from my bedroom, but I loved it. I had never thought people who worked from home actually did anything until I actually started. I stayed busy but it was nice to be able to set my own hours and work around my schedule.Seth and I talked either in text or by phone at least once a day. I still missed him but it was
Broken Promises Wicked Games
By the time my flight landed in New York, I had talked myself into believing that I was just here to look at an apartment. I had talked myself into believing that I wasn't excited to see Seth. My confidence was all built on a lie but it was one I had told myself enough that even I was starting to believe it.Flying wasn't bothering me anymore and I found my bags without too much grief. Seth had told me he would have a car waiting for me, I would have rather have taken a cab but I was kinda glad to see my name on a sign when I exited. Handing my bags to the driver I hopped in the back almost feeling like a kid. I mean in my opinion I should be sitting up front, not in the back.The car took off and I looked out the window, it wasn't raining but the sun wasn't out either. It was just an overcast day that left you wondering what it would do. Traffic was backed up but it didn't bother me. I was in no hurry to face Seth. I imagined all the conversations I would have with him
