Is This Destiny? 3- Part 22

'You okay?' He frowned at me as I walked slowly to the chair just across his. 'Yeah..' I faked a smile and placed the strands of hair that losely hung on the sides of my face behind my ears. I sat down and faintly smiled back at him. 'I'm so sorry about, Bella.' 'It's fine.' I took a quick sip of my red wine until one of the servants walked closer to us placing our food down on the table. The sweet scent of the cooked vegetables crept to my nostrils. The presentation of the food was actually amazing! 'Who is she anyway?' I raised my eyebrow. Obviously I knew who Bella was, how can I forget that bitch? I just wanted to hear his side of the story, I guess? 'I was meant to get married to Bella but I loved someone else. Ariana.' He paused, 'We were planning to go to Paris.' 'You don't have to lie to me, you know?' I laughed. 'What do you mean?' I shook my head, 'Nevermind.' I smiled, 'What were you guys planning to do in Paris, if you don't mind me asking? I mean, you don't have to tell me your plan but I'd love to know.' He just laughed at me and pinched my cheeks, 'You're so cute!' I rolled my eyes at him and he said, 'We were planning to get married there.' 'Is that it?' 'Yeah.' He laughed, 'Are you okay? You've been acting weird lately.' I faked a smile, 'Yeah. Just curious thats all.' I placed a mouthful of food in my mouth and admired the texture of the beef. 'This is actually delicious!' I smiled, 'This place is amazing. How do you afford all this?' 'Actually...' He paused, 'I saved up for this. I don't live with my Dad anymore. I live in a small appartment just across the studio.' 'What?!' I snapped. 'Yeah, my Dad and I have fallen out. I actually resigned from my Dad's company two days ago.' He frowned at me. I could see the pain and suffering in his eyes. 'Why?! I mean, why did you take me out then if you've lost your job?' He placed his hands on mine and smiled, 'Because I love you. We haven't had a proper date yet. I wanted this to be special.' I couldn't help but feel guilty. I know I hate him but he just lost his job and practically most of his money and now he took me out for dinner at a very expensive restaurant. 'You really didn't have to do this.' I frowned. 'But I wanted to.' He smiled. I smiled back and mumbled, 'Th.. Tha... Thank you, Ethan..' I never thought I'd say that and actually mean it for once...
