I drive up into the car park of the restaurant, Stella had given me instructions to wear something sexy. I chuckled to myself as I got out off the car, straightening my short dress out, well she did say it was a family dinner - so no disappointments right!

I opened the door, soon to find people cheering in my faces - all my Loved ones happy birthday Rose!! Tears brimmed in my eyes to find all my favourite people. 'Stan, did you do all this?' I asked grinning. He put his hands up in surrender.

'Partly' I went and hugged him.

A couple hours passed, I was with Ella and Harry. 'Thank you so much guys. I really owe it to you, you've definetly made by birthday.'

'We invited everyone you were close to.. Harry tried calling Zayn! I know you guys are not together anymore but we both ship you two like mad!' I gave a sad smile looking at the happy couple in front of me. Part of me did want Zayn here. I wanted him here to hold me and never let me go. I looked down at my drink and shrugged.

'Well- it's what he wanted so, I can't.' Good thing Stella called from behind me. I walked over to her, to find her talking to a dashing young man in a suit. With a smile that would instantly swoon over the girls.

'Rose, meet my Nephew Tyler. Tyler this is my daughter Rose' when she said daughter, I was happy because she seemed to introduce me to everyone as my daughters. This dashing Tyler took out his hand.

'Nice to meet the birthday girl on this very beautiful night' he said kissing the back of hand before looking up and winking at me. I could feel my cheeks hear up At his comment.

'I'll leave you two it' somehow I was glad that Stella walked away too entertain the other guests.

'Hi' I merely said. God I do sound like am shy. I focused on his eyes, his Icy blue eyes if I may add. It's like you get lost in them like as if, your swimming in the ocean. 'Where are you from?'

'London'

'Wow London, really? That's where am moving too'

'Yeah your mum was saying, also I'm here aswell to say if you ever need anything whilst you're down there Know am happy to help.' He said smiling down at me

'Ofcourse and thank you so much. I may just take you up on your offer' I said giggling.

'Rose' he said

'Hmm'

'Rose; just like a flower yet you are even prettier or shall I say sexier?' He said flirting.

'Are you flirting with me MR.' I said

'Whatever you'd like to call it' he said winking.

We talked hours on end. I learnt that he was a year older than me and didn't have any siblings, that's when Lilly butted in saying 'you can be my brother' getting a response and a tickle. He's been living in London for a while, on his own. His mum and Stella are sisters, yet they don't get on because, his mum was jealous that Stella was marrying Stanley, he doesn't know the full story as to what really happened with them. Tyler knew Lilly and I were adopted, I felt I needed to tell him this than lie to him saying am not the real daughter. He complimented saying; people would think I'm fooling them saying am adopted because I look just like Stella.

Tyler was a good guy and I really liked him. His charming ways got me swept off my feet maybe he could be the one to take my mind of Zayn but then, I wouldn't want to use him in any way.
