I finished the commercial presentation in just five hours. Everyone left to their houses only me and V and a girl called Jane I met before she is young with all that Indian beauty.

"You're a hard worker Huh? " my boss Andrew claimed.

"Yes Sir! " I stated smiling widely.

"Call me Andy" he said scratching his hair. He is so handsome I have to admit it.
He is probably having an Italian gene.
Because he have this accent that makes him even hotter.

"So you're Emma's best friend! " Andy asked, while I was typing the last words of my presentation emailing Elizabeth to check it out.

"Yes... How do you guys know each other? " I questioned.

"She has the most famous crystal decorations in the city, plus her father used to be one of my father's best friends. " he responded. "And you used to be my old best friend's PA? " he exclaimed smirking.

I turned to face him as I finished typing while he was sitting on another chair next to.

"Yeah! " I replied raising my eyebrow questioning.

"How is he? " he asked taking my draft of the commercial ad and reading it.

"Why you don't ask him your self" when I said that I realized that am talking to my boss and not my friend. I shouldn't be reacting like this but I can't help it, he makes me feel comfortable around him. Like I know him since years.

"Like I said before, he used to be my best friend. It means I can't talk to him anymore. " he stated emphasizing on the part of how he is not his best friend anymore.

I wanted to ask him so badly why they are not any more but I think it's better to mind my own business.

"I don't really know " I claimed.

"You did a good job with this presentation. I like it. " he cheered giving me back the draft.

"Thanks" I said. "You should take a rest, it's only your first day here. I promise you that there is plenty of work left to be done. " he stated heading to the elevator.

I laughed and grabbed my things and left.

It's almost six PM. But work here finishes at five but who ever wanted to stay extra hours is welcomed.

The company policy here is so much better and different. People here are not afraid of their boss all the time. It's definitely not intimidating.

I feel so much comfortable.

I started the engine to Jersey. Dad just texted me saying that I shouldn't wait for him he is going to New York with Stefanie.
Good for you dad!

I know that most of the car accidents are caused either by drinking while driving or texting. But I can't stop my self.

I texted Emma.

• Meet me in L'Amico •

It's a gorgeous restaurant in New York I love it.
They are half Italian half American.

"So how was your day? " Emma asked taking a seep of her wine.

"Oh. I love it. It's so amazing to be working there. It's so comfortable. " I replied in excitement.

"Am happy for you. Did you met Andrew? " she questioned.

"Actually I met him before. Days ago I was going to the restaurant and I run into him. " I claimed.

"Weird How you meet your bosses! " she exclaimed.

"Funny. right! " I replied.

"How can I serve you tonight ladies? " the waitress asked.

"I would like a Branzino" I ordered. While Emma ordered Pipe Regati.her favorite pasta.

"Is that all? " the waitress asked again. With her British accent.

"Yes " I answered.

As she left I poured another glass of red wine for me.

"What about you and Javier? " I asked her.

Her face turned red, her eyes started twinkling and she smiled widely.

"No! I can't believe it! You slept with him already? " I knew it. That's why she was so calm and shill.

"I couldn't handle not to touch all that hot body! " she explained laughing. "He is so good. He knows how to treat a woman. " she added smiling and drowning in her vigil.

"But how come already? " I questioned. Knowing that she is not that easy.

"I think that he might be the one " she replied playing with her black curled hair.

"WHAT? " I am shocked right now.
I never thought she will fall for anyone so fast like this.

"I said he might" she replied emphasizing on might.

The waitress came with our dishes.
"Enjoy ladies. " she stated leaving.

"I want you to be happy. I am always here for you. " I informed Emma while she was moping up her plate. She is that kind of girl that eats like a pig and never gains weight.

"Me too. I love you. " she replied with her mouth full of food. I don't know even how she could speak.

we were heading to my house since Emma is sleeping in my house.
Dad texted me saying that he will be late and I should not wait for him.

"Emma! Calvin came to my house this morning " I confessed her... Even though I know what she will say.

"How dare he? How did he knew where do you live? " she threw those questions on me.

"I don't know... But I --" she cut me off. "You still want to be with him? " she asked stepping in front of me.

"A part of me. " I answered honestly.

"He loves you that's for sure but do you want to stay by his side even though he hurt you? answer me with out a second thought? " she demanded.

"Yes" I claimed.

"Then call him. But remember he is engaged, his company is falling apart and I heard he is having problems with his dad. He needs you more than you needs him" she informed me.

I wasn't expecting her to encourage me to get back to him. I guess Javier melted her heart.

But who cares I just want to be with him again.

Calvin's words and everything about him convinced me that I must give him another chance.
Plus this time I am much stronger...

"I want you to be happy too. I have to admit it you was with him. But am always here if you needed me to bit his ass" she claimed hugging me.

"What about dad?" I questioned since he made it clear when we talked about Calvin that no more seeing him.

"He will understand eventually. " Emma replied.
