Two weeks of being single and having all the time in the world to think about life by yourself. It makes you rethink some things. I finally get the last box of things unpacked and put away. Pulling out my phone, I dial Toni's number and place my phone to my ear.

"Babe." Toni's voice rings through the phone.

"Do you have your outfit for tonight?" I ask.

"No, I always wait until the last minute. Levontionna and I are coming to pick you up."

"Okay. I just finished unpacking, I'll get dressed now."

"Hurry, we're outside."

I roll my eyes before walking over to my closet and stepping into a Pink apparel set. Just as I finished brushing my hair into a high ponytail, I hear the front door creak open. Best friends smile at me as they walk in. I grab my phone and wallet, pushing them out the door.

"Can I just say your place is just... wow." Toni gleams.

"Because I'm focusing on me. No Liam. No Zayn. No relationships." I shrug.

"Wow," Toni gasps. "You go girl."

I roll my eyes and hop in the driver seat of Levontionna's car. It was like when we were in high school, I'd drive their cars because Toni didn't want to drive and Levontionna drives like a mad man. I drive us to the mall and find a parking spot. Levontionna takes the lead and heads over to Kate Spade. She starts to look through the racks of dresses as Toni heads off somewhere else. I walk towards the food court and order a salad, I have everything I need for tonight. After about an hour of me picking at my salad and skimming through social media, Levontionna and Toni come over with multiple bags.

"Are you guys done?" I ask. "Because we have to start getting ready or we'll miss the surprise."

They nod and head on our way.

We finally get past the "surprise!" Part of the surprise party and actually start partying. Gigi has a heap a gifts and I think she was a little more excited with opening those then the party. Toni and Levontionna leave me to god knows where and I find myself taking a champagne glass from a passing waiter's tray. Just as I told my best friends, I am working on me — no Liam, no Zayn, no relationships — but relationships and one night stands were two different things. I sip at my champagne while eyeing the party's occupants, there's about fifty or more people here. However, one gorgeous blond seems to keep his gaze fixated on me. If it wasn't for his overly gorgeous face and him standing under the spot light, I wouldn't of noticed him. He'd just be a blurred face like the rest of them.

He starts to walk over to me and I notice the confidence in his stride and in his features. The sea of people part for him like he is Moses or god damn Jesus. I cast my eyes elsewhere like I couldn't careless about how he walked up to me or about his presence at all.

"Hey, baby doll. Gigi's friend right?" He smiled a crooked smiled — a smirk almost.

He was a smooth talker and I could tell he already knew exactly who I was. Eva Anderson, Victoria's Secret hottest and newest Angel, and Liam Payne's Ex-fiancé.

"And you are?" I ask.

In all honesty, I didn't know who he was.

"I'm Ashton." He introduces.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Eva." I send a small smile.

"I've seen you on enough Victoria's Secret commercials to know who you are."
