Only You

Chapter 11

IXORA P.O.V

"YOU DID WHAT NOW?!" Leah's voice boomed through my phone so loudly not only did I think my ear drums were gone but my phone's speakers popped.

"I freaked out ok? On the dance floor we were having a good time then he whispered in my ear that he was glad I came. It just kind of set me off you know? One moment he's a jerk and a womanizer next thing I know he's all sexy and nice. Probably wanting to get into my knickers!" I yelled back.

"You are so bloody lucky I'm not there in the apartment with you or I swear to god Izzie I would have bashed your head so hard you won't remember anything." she said again.

I told her about how I didn't invite him in or do anything and of course the phone was on loudspeaker so the other two would hear also. Of course their reactions were the same except for Allie though. I knew she would have her own opinions. She was more of the rational kind in the group. After I got off the phone I didn't know what to do so I decided to go to Barney's for another day of shopping.

I ended up coming out with 3 more pairs of shoes and countless amount of tops and skirts for work as well as dresses. I went into my favourite store in the whole wide world, TIfanny and Co.. I loved their jewellery. When I was with Victor, he used to buy me loads of stuff from here. That was until I found out he was using MY money of course. I never really bought much after that. Cause it was weird buying yourself a ring right? Well i thought so. I saw the most amazing ear rings. 1 carat each and I knew that would be my next big splurge. In the following weeks. As I stepped out, I ran into something really hard. Or rather someone with a very nice built chest.

Fate obviously was messing with me cause it was Mark. Mark sexy face Azaria. He was holding me by the shoulders and as usual, I was in a daze admiring his face. "Well this is awkward.." I said.

"Haha well you sure do know how to make your self seem present." he told me. I just grinned like a total idiot. He helped pick up my bags which fell and handed them back to me.

"Oh, well that's a lot of stuff. Either it's been a bad day or a really good one. I can't tell." he asked.

"Well I just thought I needed some thinking time."

"How about we go for some coffee. There's a Starbucks just down the road." he motioned for me to follow him.

Was this seriously happening? "Yeah sure." he was still holding my bags and then he looked at me.

"Oh damn, I forgot to ask if you were busy or off to some place." he said apologizing.

"Well I would've told you if that was the case, but no, I'm free for the day." we arrived at Starbucks and he told me to take a seat. I told him I wanted my Mocha Praline with caramel on top. I headed to the back where there were a few love cushions which were the only seats empty.

I took out my phone and IM-ed Allie telling her to come over to my place later. He then came over with both our drinks and he sat next to me. I could smell his aftershave. It was so damn alluring I just wanted to bury my face in the crook of his shoulder.

"So tell me, did you sleep well?" he asked while sipping his hot chocolate.

"Like a baby. I just hit the bed and next thing I knew I was out." I replied him. He seemed so calm and didn't care about the looks people were giving him. He was famous right?

"So your name is just Izzie? Is it a short form or something?" he asked smiling.

"Well my real name is Ixora Marie Sanchez. Why would do you want to know?" I laughed.

"Wow. Now that's a nice name. Just curious that's all." Just then his phone rang. He held up a finger telling me to give him a moment.

"Yea I'm just at Starbucks down the road. Sure I'll be here." as soon as he put down, he apologized but I said it was ok. I was curious though who was that but I ignored it and asked him "And you're just Mark Azaria?"
