"Oh I don't know about this Eiza," Anastasia said to her best friend Eiza González who's been her friend since they were teenagers

"Oh I don't know about this Eiza," Anastasia said to her best friend Eiza González who's been her friend since they were teenagers. Even when Eiza went into singing and acting.

"Ana, if you don't meet people, you won't date people, and if you don't date people, you won't marry," Anastasia sighed. "Do you want to be an old lonely woman with cats before you marry? If you marry?"

"Of course not, but I don't want this to end up like the first one!" Ana grumbled while groaning.

"I'll choose to ignore that, but come tonight! I promise you won't regret it Tom told me that his friend is young and handsome." Tom Hiddleston is Eiza's boyfriend who is a celebrity as well, they've been together for three years now and it only seemed as though they got together yesterday.

"I swear, if this doesn't work out you can never again try to set me ever again especially with your poor match making skills, at this point you can just quit acting and have a matching-making agency." Ana slightly joked but mostly being serious.

"We will once we have a successful story so do us a favor and get to work," Eiza joked giggling. "besides that I can't wait to see you tonight, It's been too long."

"I know, I'm sorry Eiza" Ana mumbled. "Between my busy schedule and you filming these past two months. Thank goodness I'm going to be on vacation soon."

"How long are you home in London for?" Eiza asked.

"A while, until sometime in April I have some photo shoots and with the charities events also checking in on the bakeries and possibly new movie project then it'll be back and forth for a bit," Ana told Eiza. "I would be expected back in New York for sure with the Met gala if I decide to go but yeah."

"Well then, we just have to make do with whatever time we have left between your projects and mine," Eiza said. "Dinner is at 8pm under Tom Stanford. Don't be late!"

With that, Eiza hung up on her leaving Ana alone with her thoughts.

It wasn't as if she didn't want to go to dinner, okay admitting to herself, she really didn't want to especially as this wasn't the first time Eiza tried setting her up with a guy. The first time wasn't great a complete mess really, realizing she didn't feel anything for the guy somehow waiting an hour not wanting to waste their time but the guy ending up making it easier on her as he tried to get her to taste his food he ended spilling her hot soup all over her instead so that ended as a disaster very quickly.  

Huffing a sigh Ana got up from her bed and padded over to her closet so she could choose an outfit for tonight.

Ana chose a blue dress with gold heels and gold jewelry before doing a quick once over before going inside her en suite bathroom and opening the tap checking for the right temperature before jumping in the shower.

She stayed under the rushing water for about 5 minutes, relaxing her muscles with the steam before washing herself.

Half an hour later. Ana stepped out of the shower and got herself ready. She curled her hair and did her makeup giving herself a natural look before stepping into her dress that she picked for tonight. 

She glanced at the clock before swearing to herself

She glanced at the clock before swearing to herself. She had about eight minutes to get to the restaurant they were having dinner at. The problem is, the restaurant was about twenty minutes away.

Cursing herself, Ana spritzed some perfume on her neck and gathered the clutch to leave (thanking God that she remembered to at least prepare it) and left her house.

 "I'm sorry I'm late," Ana excused herself pulling up the empty seat next to Eiza, who said "It was fine," they were already seated on a table for four in the private room, Eiza sitting in front of her boyfriend Tom and seeing the seat next to Tom empty Ana wondered where the mystery man was. Just as Ana turned to Eiza to ask if he was a no-show she heard. 

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's alright," Tom said while standing, shaking his friend's hand. "We just got here as well."

Once Ana looked up from her putting her phone on silent, she finally glanced up only to look into blue eyes. 

"Hi, I'm Edward."

All she could think was oh shit! Prince James! Jimmy Fallon! 

"Anastasia Black."
