The situation with Trevor went on for another week and while our friends were progressing well with their research, we were still on square one. Things between me and Luis were okay even though I was still upset with him ruining my valentine’s plans but I didn’t cancel them I was hoping he was going to change his mind. 
On Saturday I woke up early, did the laundry as Ava cleaned the house then I took a bath and we watched movies, in the evening Luis picked me up, I didn’t want to spend the weekend at his place but he insisted so I agreed. On our way to his place we bought some food in town because I was in no mood to cook anything.
When we got to his place I put my things in his room, changed into something comfortable and dished up the food, I was extremely quiet during dinner and I hardly paid attention to what Luis was saying even though my body was with him my mind was elsewhere and I didn’t even touch my food.
“Baby are you okay?” he asked
“Yes I am fine “I answered paying a little attention to him
“You seem to have a lot on your mind” he said
“Nothing just that school is draining me” I answered
“I see don’t worry yourself too much, I don’t want to have a skinny bride” he teased
“Don’t worry I won’t lose a kilo” I answered while faking a smile
We continued eating while talking about our wedding plans then his phone rang, after talking on phone Luis said he had to rush off somewhere you see me and Luis rarely spend quality time together because each time we are together he either has to work or somewhere to rush of too.
“Baby I am sorry but this will only take me a few seconds” he said
“Must you always ruin the little time we spend together?” Other people are always more important than me in your life” I yelled
“I can’t deal with this right now “he said while putting on his jacket
“Fine you go, don’t expect to find me in this house when you get back” I said as I stood up to clear the table.
Luis didn’t reply to what I said instead he got his car keys and went out knowing he would find me when he got back like always. I was determined to get back at him and if he wasn’t going to give me the attention I needed then I would look for it somewhere else.
I cleared the table and changed into a very short black dress with boots, got my bag and called for a cab since I didn’t come with my car. I didn’t want to go home because Ava would be on my case so I told the driver to drop me at any nearest club. I found myself at East Point, I got in and immediately started drinking, I was determined to have a good time on my own. My phone was on silent mood because I wanted no disturbances later on I went to the stage and danced my butt off.
I must have drunk too much because I don’t remember what happened afterwards. I woke up with a throbbing headache, I got out of bed because I needed to use the bathroom, just then I realized I wasn’t in my room and I was wearing some  nice pink night gown, “where I am?” I thought to myself trying to recall last night’s events but none came to mind.
As I was standing in the room someone walked in carrying some clothes in their hands, I wanted the earth to swallow me because the person who walked into the room was the last person I was expecting to see.
“You!” I screamed.
“I see you are up already” he said with a serious look on his face.
“What am I doing here?” I asked
“I wouldn’t know” he said
“Are you kidding me?”
“No am not, I brought you some clothes to change because yours are dirty please take a shower so I can drive you home, I have a busy day ahead” he said that and walked out
After I bathed I found some lotion on the table, the room looked like it had been occupied by a female, I couldn’t help but wonder who it was, another thing that puzzled me where the  clothes he gave me, it was a long yellow summer dress, a black jacket and some new underwear.
I walked out of the room when I was done and headed to the dining room, I found a note on the table “Breakfast is served feel at home, let me freshen up a bit before I join you”
I couldn’t sit still because I was nervous, so I stood up and decided to explore the house I must say I was impressed with how neat everything was placed, looked everything was in order as if it wasn’t a guy’s house. There were different pieces of art work as well as different photos hanging on his wall.
I kept walking without paying much attention to where I was going till I bumped into him and almost tripped but he caught me before I could fall, he didn’t let me go immediately but just stared at me for a long time, I was so lost in his eyes, I kept looking at his lips wondering how it would feel to have them on mine. I didn’t know what was happening to me because I was feeling things I had never felt before for a moment I forgot who he was.
