It's just me and you

Chapter 10- Dinner

Scarlett's POV

A week ago Colin had told me that he wanted to have a nice dinner before I started work on Monday. He said he could notice my stress and that I was nervous about work but that's far from the truth. I'm excited, extremely excited about work. I can't wait to teach, I've missed it. What has got me stressed is the fact that I almost cheated and I can't help but feel nervous around Colin because what if he did see us? I mean y/n told me she had tinted windows but it was such a close call, too close. I've been trying to forget about it but it's just so hard to forget what could've happened.

Anyways I've been getting close with Aubrey. We talk about almost everything. I even told her about my situation. She asked me if y/n was hot and I immediately shut her down. I'm glad I have someone like her, I'm incredibly lucky. I also found out that she teaches just two rooms away from my room which is amazing because I can just walk over there in between breaks.

Today is Saturday and I just finished getting ready for dinner tonight. Colin told me to wear something nice which I didn't understand because we're just at our place, but like always I complied.

I head downstairs to the living room and find Colin sitting on the couch watching a football game. I walk in front of him and he completely ignores me. As I walk away he says "you look nice" in a bland voice with no reaction whatsoever. What was I even expecting? I'm use to it anyways.

I head over to the kitchen where I made steak, mashed potatoes, and some vegetables. I distribute the food onto two plates and put them on a table. I was going to grab drinks but I realized I drank all the wine because of my stress. I guess water will do. As I'm grabbing two glasses there's a knock on our door.

I look at Colin confused as to whom it may be and he just gestures for me to get it which I do.

I open the door revealing my friend Aubrey. She's wearing a beautiful red blouse with black pants and black heels. I happily hug her and she reciprocates the action.

"What are you doing here?" I ask surprised at her arrival.

"Colin invited me for dinner, free food. I'm here" she says teasingly.

I look at Colin and he just gives me a small smile and waves at Aubrey before returning his focus on the game.

"What's for dinner?" Aubrey asks playfully.

"Come see" I grab her arm and drag her to the kitchen.

"Wow Scarlett this looks amazing" she admires and it makes me feel happy that someone recognized my work.

Another knock on the door brings me out of my thoughts. Now who could this possibly be.

"Here's a plate, help yourself." I say leaving Aubrey alone in the kitchen.

"Don't mind if I do" I hear Aubrey say to herself which brings a small smile to my face.

As i head over to the door I see Colin get up quickly. He looks excited, must be one of his work friends or something.

Y/N's POV

I wait outside the door nervously, I can practically hear my heartbeat through my ears.

I'm a little late because I had to stop buy a local winery because I couldn't just show up empty handed, that's rude. My father always taught me that making contributions is extremely important and shows that you care. I thought of wine because why not?

I hear the doorknob click and the door swings open revealing Scarlett... and Colin right behind her. He's smiling happily and she, well she's frozen and her cheeks turned into a bright shade of red.
