EMILY'S  POV :-

I looked at myself in the mirror and my eyes widened in amusement. The girl standing in front of me was definitely not Emily Evans. The girl was extremely beautiful. She was wearing a very simple but amazingly beautiful sky blue, strapeless, full length gown. Her hair were done in a bun, with few strands, which were curled perfectly, coming on her face on both the sides. Light pink lipstick covered her soft plump lips. Her cheeks were covered with a very light pink blush. Beautiful diamond ear-rings looked very pretty and were very attractive. The matching diamond bracelet looked elegant on her wrist. Was it really me? I just can't believe!

My dress, jewellery, and all the other things were personally selected by Zach. This was what my make-up artist told me. Yes, make-up artist! Zach had hired them for me. Why is he doing all these things when he actually loves someone else? Why does he even care about me? Is it because he likes me?

I shook my head to remove all the stupid thoughts from my mind. How can he like me? He loves his angel, not me! I am only his PA. He has done everything so that his reputation and status is maintained in the party. Yes, exactly, this can be the only reason! My heart broke again at the thought! I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to lock myself in my room and cry my heart out! My heart is aching.

"You just look breath-taking!" Jenny, my make-up artist exclaimed, "Mark my words Emi that today Zach will not be able to take his hands off you!"

Hearing her words, I started blushing. But luckily the pink blush on my cheek covered it and saved me from further embarrassment.

Before I could reply, the door suddenly opened and in all his glory, Zach entered the room. I turned around and looked at him with awe. He looked so damn handsome and sexy. He looked like some Greek God! I am sure that my jaw was hitting the ground. When I realized that Zach too was checking me out, I immediately regained my composure.

His mouth was wide-opened. His eyes were actually plopping out from their sockets. I felt like he could see directly through my soul. His gaze was burning me. My heart stopped beating. My breath was heavy. I looked up and immediately my eyes locked with his beautiful blue one. Now my heart started racing fast. I could even hear my heart-beat. What is wrong with my heart? First it just stops beating and then it beats hard against my chest!

A shiver of pleasure ran down my whole spine. It was the moment when I felt that only me and my Zach existed in this world. There is noone else to disturb us. It is just me and him. But I was brought back to reality by Jenny's voice,

"Zach, I know that your date is looking hot and sexy. But you just can't stand here for the entire day and ogle at her." Jenny told Zach and then winked at me.

I immediately looked away to hide my ever-growing blush. Zach was also brought back to reality and immediately cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness in the room,

"I...um...I...uhh...was just...I mean....Oh God....Leave it...Now let's go. We are getting late," Zach said and held my hand in his. My small hand fitted perfectly in his large one. It looked like they were meant for each other.

"Thanks Jenny for everything," Zach said before we left the room.

"It was my pleasure. Just take care that the poor girl gets some sleep tonight," I heard Jenny shout from behind. What the hell does she mean? Oh God, this girl is really very stupid!

We went to a limo and Zach opened the back passenger door for me. I could not look into his eyes, because I very well know that if I did that I would definitely get lost in his mesmerizing eyes. So without looking up, I immediately sat in the car. Zach closed the door for me and he too got in the limo. As soon as he got in, the driver started the car and drove off.

Through the entire ride, I kept looking at the window. But from corner of my eyes, I saw Zach constantly looking at me with lust and desire in his eyes.

Lust? Desire? Really Emily. You are not his lover. He loves someone else. Get that clear through your thick head. You are just his damn PA. He can never like a stupid girl like you. At that thought, my heart started aching again. But I will ignore it, atleast for tonight.

The car stopped in front of a building. The building was really very huge. All the people entering in the building were well dressed. It looked like the models have come out of the magazines. Zach opened my door and offered his hand to me. I gladly took it and got out of the car. He closed the door and held me by my waist. As soon as he touched me, a shiver of pleasure ran down my spine. My legs started turning into jelly. Oh God, this man is going to be the death of me!

We entered inside and immediately everyone stopped talking and looked at us, or particularly me. What? Am I not looking good? Why are they looking at me like I have grown two heads. I became self-conscious and pushed myself behind Zach. I looked up at him and saw that he was clenching his jaw. What the hell happened? Why was he angry?

"My, my, who is this beautiful, sexy girl, Zach?" A voice brought me back to reality. I looked in front and saw a tall man with blonde hair looking at me with...lust! Eww! Disgusting! His eyes were green and he was handsome, but not as handsome and sexy as my Zach. Zach tightened his hold on my waist. Why is he behaving so strange? What's wrong?

"Mike, she is Emily Evans, my date for tonight." Zach said coldly.

Date? I never expected him to say this! I thought that he would probably say that I was his PA!

I looked at Mike to see that he was again staring at me,

"Well, Miss Emily, I am Mike Logan. It is really my pleasure to meet the most beautiful lady in the world," Mike said and extended his hand for me.

I took it and shook hands with him,
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Mike," I told him.

He nodded his head in agreement and then did something which really made me feel uncomfortable. He took my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles. I looked up at Zach to see his jaw clenched and his fingers tightened into a fist, as if he was ready to beat someone.

"Stop flirting with my date, Mike. She is off limits. So just back off!" Zach growled at Mike. Is he.....jealous?

A smile made its way on my lips as soon as this thought crossed my mind!
