Chapter Seven
"Hi, Lucy!" I heard Grace's high-pitched voice in the cafeteria as I was ordering my coffee. I was finally on my break after working for four hours straight. I turned around slowly to find her walking towards me. She looked so happy and I could see it in her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Dear Lord!
I think I need a double espresso. I was not completely out of my hangover yet.
"Hi, Grace." I tried to force a cheerful smile and she pulled me by my hand as soon as I received my coffee, dragging me to the corner of the cafeteria.
"I really need to tell you about last night. It was so magical." She started and I kept staring at her, maintaining a straight face.
"Was it?" I asked in a sarcastic tone, looked down at my coffee and she had a small frown on her face.
"What is it? Are you mad or something?"
"Well, you didn't text me last nig

Halfway through the movie, I heard a loud knock on my door, making me jump from my seat and causing the popcorn to spill all over my couch."Dammit!" I cursed under my breath and cleaned my couch before making my way across the room all the while wondering who it might be at this time.Would it be Theo?I looked up at the clock and it was 11.30 pm. He did say we could have our movie night if he came back home alone. I shook my head and tried not to get my hopes up high.I opened the door and was met with a pair of crystal blue eyes. He looked tired and was resting his arms on the side of my door. I also noticed that his tie was undone, a few buttons of his dress shirt was open, revealing his chest.Was he...in the middle of something?

"She is not my girlfriend yet. We are justdating and I don't get the same vibe with her anymore. It's weird because I was so sure that she would the one for me." He burst out in frustration and I gulped, knowing the reality of our crazy fucked up situation."Just because that didn't work out, you try to kiss me?""No, God! You always assume the worst and it's not like you pushed me away either. You wanted to kiss me too." He scoffed and I gave him an unbelievable look."Why are you trying to screw this up? We are supposed to be friends and nothing more than that," I groaned in frustration and he kept staring at me."Because, I've always been attracted to you, Lu. Seven years ago and even now. Aren't you even a little bit curious to find out if this would work out between us?" he asked and stood up immediately.What the fuck?He is attracted t

"He said what?" I almost yelled insurprise and Grace gave me a puzzled look."I said he agreed to come with me to the fundraiser," she replied and I could see that she was confused by my reaction."Oh...oh good, I thought I heard the opposite of it. Silly me!" I gave her a nervous laugh and saved the awkward situation."I need to get a dress. I have nothing to wear," she whined while my mind was circling around Theo.What was he playing at?Why was he leading her on?"Lu, are you even listening?" She waved her hand in front of my face and I finally looked at her."What?""I said, I need a dress. Are you all set for the evening?""Yeah, I'll just wear something. It's not like I have a date or something." I added and she gave me a small pout.

Once I was back home that evening, I started to rummage through my closet to find a perfect dress. I was not looking forward to this fundraiser in the beginning but now that I wasn't going alone, I wanted to look good and sexy.I finally settled on a silver floor-length gown that had a deep neckline. After taking a nice shower, I wore my dress and started to work on my makeup, keeping it subtle.I ran a comb through my hair and quickly pulled it to the side and tied it in a bun, leaving just a few strands of hair to frame my face. It was almost 7 pm and Dan would be here any minute now. I grabbed my clutch and slipped my feet inside a pair of silver high heels and rushed to the living room. At sharp 7 pm, I heard my doorbell go off. I took a few deep breaths and walked towards my door expecting to see Dan but it was Theo with his tie in his hand. He was looking annoyingly sexy as always in his three-piece tuxedo.

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath and saw Grace panicking beside him. He stopped anyone that was trying to help him and walked away from the crowd that had gathered to witnesses the commotion."I think I should go help him. I'll be right back, Dan." I rushed out, picking the ends of my dress to walk faster."Sure. I'll be fine and remember what I told, Lucy." He called out to me as I walked towards Grace. Once I reached the dinning area, I saw her standing with a worried look on her face."What the hell happened and where did he even go?" I asked, completely unaware of what went down between them."I don't know, Lu. We were drinking and just talking. Then, I got a call and while I was busy on my phone, I heard a noise and that's when I turned around to find him with broken glass and his hands were all bleeding..." She started to sob and I rolled my eyes at her silly behavior.

"I'm here," Theo announced and walkedtowards her while I reminded hidden behind the bushes."Are you okay? Did Lucy find you?" she asked in an extra worried tone and I rolled my eyes at the way she was acting all innocent and caring."I'm okay and uhhh...I didn't see Lucy." He stammered a bit and I let out a small sigh. It was time for me to go home. I had enough drama for one night and I just wanted to get out of my clothes and sleep in my own bed.Once I was able to hear only muffled voices, I realized that they were walking away from me and I slowly came out of my hiding. I started to make my way towards my car and tried to hold back my sob. Everything was messed up and now I had no idea if he was going to end things with Grace.

The next morning, I woke up to find Theo's arms wrapped around me. We had fallen asleep cuddling each other in my bedroom and I let out a soft sigh, feeling giddy with happiness. It took everything in me to not jump his bones last night but it was way better than sex. We stayed up all night, talking and laughing about random crazy stuff and it was absolute bliss. I realized that it was Sunday which means we could just chill at home.Also, I had no idea if we were dating now or how this is going to work. I know he ended things with Grace but him, jumping into another relationship would hurt her so badly especially if she comes to know it is with me."What are you thinking about?" I heard his hoarse voice from behind and internally groaned at how sexy it sounded."Nothing," I mumbled and he flipped me immediately so that I was facing him."There is always something, darling." He chuckled and I noticed that h

I tried to stay calm but it was so hard to do so when she was saying stuff like this."Of course not, she is my friend and she is your friend too. She was just trying to help you out." Theo added and she immediately broke into a small smile."Thank God, I was worried you might be mad at her and that I ruined your friendship or something." She let out a dramatic sigh and I rolled my eyes.Come on, was it just me?She was clearly faking it.I take it all back. I am so not going to feel bad for her anymore."I hope we can be good friends because I really like Lucy and I don't want it be awkward between us." He announced, shoving his hands in his pockets while my eyes went wide.What was he trying to do?Apply salt to her wounds?"Wh---What?" she stuttered, letting out a small laugh, looking
