Xander Devinson

I restrain myself from glancing at Carla as she emerged from the dressing room. What is this? Never before have I had such a strong need to gaze at someone. I can hardly feel my own breath because I am so enthralled by Carla's beauty.

"Sorry for not explaining things to you earlier," I say to Carla, regretting that I wasn't more sensitive to her feelings. How unhappy she must have felt that I merely took her places without explaining.

Carla gave me an adorable angry look as she said, "Apology not accepted". How is it that she can be so cute and enticing at the same time? Xander Devinson, wake up.

Carla continues speaking before I even have a chance to reply . "Next time you have to tell me when we go out" there's a next time huh? Is this a promise that we will go out together?

"I promise" Carla took hold of my hand and made me make a pinky promise. She may try to act sophisticated around others, but I can now tell that she still has a childlike side.

(Wedding Venue)

Many couples were getting out of their cars as we arrived at the wedding location. There are a lot of photographers and paparazzi.

I hand the valet my car keys and lead Carla inside. I place my hand on Carla waist and pulled her towards me. Don't want her to go off somewhere alone.

"Looks who's here, Xander is with a date. Can you believe that Lizzy?" Hah, that screeching noise there no one else other than Lizzy bestfriend, Catherine Willow.

"While your date is my sister" Since elementary school, Catherine and Lizzy have been close friends. Essentially sisters, they grow up together. Which is why, Catherine checklist is to tease me everytime we meet.

"You're annoying, just introduce this beautiful young lady to me" this is why I can't let go of Carla, Catherine is already smitten with her. She going to drag Carla to the bar any second.

"My date, Carla Robinson. Carla, this is Catherine" I introduce them to one another. Carla gave me a shy smile.

"Don't worry about introducing me. Hi Carla, I'm Lizzy bestfriend, Catherine Willow. But call me Catherine okay? We're going to be great friend starting now" leave it to Catherine to carry the conversation. She got lots to say whenever she meet someone new.

"Great to know you too Catherine, I'm Carla" Carla hug Catherine back.

"Yo haven't seen you for so long" I looked over and it my best friend Noah Grayson.

"Hey Grayson, when'd you come to America?"Noah is a well-known architect all around the world. Additionally, he is the owner of London's largest architectural firm. Noah designed and decorated many well-known architectural structures.

"I returned for some work last week, and I received an invitation to the wedding. I see, you finally found a date" Among my friends, Noah is the most serious, but he also a lady killer. He doesn't show up to an event without a date.

"This is my date Carla Robinson. Carla this is my friend, Noah Grayson" I introduced them.

"Thanks Carla for being this poor guy date, I'm Noah" I bet he really want me to punch him in public after so long.

"Nice to meet you Noah" Carla respond back to Noah. Suddenly someone pull Carla by the wrist. I turn to look at the person and Carla eyes grow bigger.

"What are you doing here with him? Are you dating him?" Ahhh it is the kid from the other day. What's his name again? Andy? Or Anthony?

"Let me go Anthony, what I do have got nothing to do with you" Carla looks like she about to get really mad.

"What's so good about him Carla? I bet he is just playing with you. How can u trust a guy that have all the girls gawking at him?" Anthony keeps on firing questions at Carla. I'm sure if this goes on any longer Carla won't last another minute.

"I can say the same for you, whether Carla chose me or not is not your problem. You should stop bothering her from now on because I intent to court her seriously" instead of letting Carla deal with this guy, I want to shut him up myself. His persistent annoy the crap out of me. I'm not waiting around for Carla feeling to change anymore. I know how I feel and I'm going to act on it.
