Chapter 18- Hot Scene

I am now comfortably lying on my own bed in my own apartment, we went back home after the barbecue, my parents loved Seth. He managed to charm his way through everyone and that made me smile. Everyone accepted him and I can’t help but be proud that I found someone like him.

Seth wanted to meet Ashley with me so I got myself ready. I decided on a girly yellow top, dark skinny jeans and high open toe heels, I wanted to make myself beautiful for some weird reason. I am now dressed in clothes with a combination of light and dark. I let my hair fall, it was now flowing in curls and it looked natural.

I placed make-up on me, not caring that I have to work later, I neatly packed my scrubs, usually I would shove them in my bag but I woke up inspired and plain happy. I grinned and did a once over in front of my floor length mirror, definitely hot. I locked my apartment and took a cab to another bistro. Aparently, Ashley owns two restaurants.

My mood then dropped when I realized she was wealthy, hardworking too if she managed to grow another branch. Then I look at Seth, he is a CEO and well, he’s a CEO. He’s freaking wealthy! They’re freaking wealthy! They’re perfect for each other! They can bask themselves in their wealthiness and perfection!

The cab stopped in front of ‘Serenity’ and I became nervous. I woke up happy and just one realization had my mood drop. I stepped in a warm looking bistro, the walls were painted with a deep shade of red, the tables were covered with cloths similar to the color of the wall. Each table has a lamp situated on top which was lit that showed warmth and relaxing.

I immediately saw a familiar mop of light brown hair. I smiled inwardly and made my way to their table. When Seth saw me, his eyes lit up like Christmas time. Seth introduced me to Ashley and her smiled seemed genuine which I returned with one of my own.

Ashley is about three inches taller than me and two inches shorter than Seth. She has auburn wavy hair and violet colored eyes, she’s perfect! She was sexy, not slim, sexy. She has prominent cheek bones than mock me when she smiles. First Erica’s teeth and now Ashley’s cheek bones. These girls are perfect and I can see why Seth picks them, they are perfect. I have got to stop saying they’re perfect.

We sat down and Seth and I ordered steak and I was surprised to know that Ashley ordered the same thing. Not salad and any other vegetarian food on the menu but she ordered meat. Isn’t she concerned about her weight or any other stuff those typical snobby girls watch out for?

I think I already met my match. And much to my displeasure, I am losing. “You look stunningly beautiful.” Seth whispered in my ear and I can’t help but smile widely.

“You don’t look so bad yourself.” I eyed him and I regretted it immediately, he was wearing a dark blue striped Armani suit, dammit! Why does he have to wear something like this to lunch? Is he going to work after this?

The rest of lunch went by in a blur, we heartily ate our steak and drank red wine. Ashley is nothing like Erica, although, we just met her. It is normal for a person to show a very good first impression. “So what do you think of her?” Seth asked as soon as we left the bistro, Ashley stayed behind because she has another meeting.

“She seems nice.” I wished I never said those words but I can’t bear lying to him, she does seem nice and it looks like she’s his type too. I groaned inwardly, great! I really did find my match, I am going to lose this battle.

“Yes, she is. Definitely a step up from Erica, don’t you think?” He grinned and we made our way to his car.

“Definitely” I tried to smile but it came out forced. I’m jealous! I’m envious that she’s perfect and Seth seems to think so too!
