Vera pov
What the fuck? What is he doing here? It can't be possible, Don't tell me he's Isabel's boyfriend, a sharp pain was felt in my heart at the thought. As much I hate him, he deserves better than Isabel.
"What are you doing here Romano?"
He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Avalon
"Seth? You're my sister's boyfriend?" She asked confused
My heart started hammering in my chest as I anticipated his answer. I don't know why I care so much, it must be because it's about Isabel. It's not like I'd care if Romano was dating someone. Right? Oh god if he is dating her, then why did he kiss me like that. As much as I don't like Isabel it wouldn't be fair to her.
"What!? No? I'm here for Vera" he quickly retorts
I let out a sigh of relief, Thank God.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment but a familiar voice cut through.
"Vera? I didn't know you lived here" Alec questions. He looks slightly dressed up and he's holding a beautiful bouquet of purple flowers. Wait, is Alec the poor soul who's stuck with her? If Seth deserved better than her, then Alec definitely did.
"Yeah I do, I live here with my friends. What are you doing here?" I counter
"Oh, my girlfriend's sister lives here, I came to visit them both. Wait a minute... Vera, are you Isabel's sister?" He responded
Alec Lane is dating Isabel??? What act did she put on to trap, I mean to date a guy like him.
"Um no she's not, That would be me. Hi! Avalon Diaz, it's great to finally meet you" Avalon answers with a polite smile on her face, she reaches out her hand while Alec shakes it.
"Ah okay, I'm Alec Lane and I know you, we have fine art together"
"Oh really? I'm sorry, I don't really pay attention to anything other than my work during class" she responds apologetically
"That's okay, I admire your work ethic," Alec says with a small smile forming on his lips
Looks like they're getting along well, That's good I didn't need anything else to worry about tonight.
"If you guys are done with your introductions, I'd like to talk to Vera so I can finish what I came here for" Seth interrupts
Avalon took Alec inside and went to call Isabel while I pulled Seth to the corner of the room
"What do you want?" I remark
"One I'm being nice right now so shush, and two here, you left your bag at the cafe"
Shit. I didn't even notice that he was holding it in all the commotion, Wait he came all the way here to give it back to me? I brush off the feeling of happiness at the thought of him coming all the way here for me and take the bag from his hands
