Paige POV

The sad truth, a week has pass after Harry and I went to the lake, after I said I love you to him, but I didn't expect him to be like this, distant. I haven't heard from him ever since and I'm quite disappointed, but I have to move on, focus on work and other things that matter.

"Miss Gomez the president wants to see you in his office." the secretary said through the intercom.

Now what? Trevor has been nice to me this past few days. We talk casually but all work related, he is starting over as he calls it. I guess there's nothing wrong about that, we were young back then, easy targets to make mistakes and being friends with him wouldn't hurt. Afterall he's been nice to me before and Trevor among all the people in the world is the most in need of friend.

"Be there in a bit." I answered.

I check myself in the mirror making sure I don't look horrible. I'm wearing a black pencil skirt and a white top. I look decent for an office girl, I think.

"Come in" I heard Trevor say as I knock on his office. He's standing in the glass window watching the busy streets. He was just wearing a blue shirt and jeans, too much of being the president I guess. His casual look reminds me so much of what we were before. He was an angry boy, tough on the outside but a vulnerable child inside. Harry and him were the exact opposite but both were special to me. For two years we were together I was treated like a princess, he was the boyfriend girls dreamed of. He always sweeps me off my feet and never gets tired of reminding me how much he loves me and for once I forgot Harry. I wish I could have given my heart to him, I tried though but failed.

"Take a seat Paige" I sat, waiting for him to tell me what he wants. I scan my eyes in his office, its the first time I'm inside. Its so Trevor, plain and simple, then something caught my attention, its the angel figurine in his table. I give that to him on our first anniversary. Why is he still keeping it?

"Still remember that?" he ask. Of course, I give him that because he calls me angel.

"Yeah, I'm just surprise to see it here"

"And where do you expect it to be?"

"In the trash, I guess." I told him honestly.

"Why would I throw something so special? Something that constantly reminds me of you." he said sitting across me. He looks at me the way he does before.

"I don't know." I say trying not to blush. He still has this effect on me after all this years thats why I don't want to be alone with him.

"You know nothing has change Paige, everything I said before I'm still going to keep it."

"Why do you want to see me?" I ask, for this to be over with. He walks to his drawer and pulled something, an envelope and then toss it to me. Its an invitation to someone's party.

"Be my date"

I stared on the envelope like it will give me the answer I need.

"I can't go alone tonight, I'll look stupid." he said. I find it hard to believe coz he's so gorgeous to look stupid and second he can ask any girl in this damn building with a yes guaranteed.

"I can't" It will just complicate things for me. I know I said I have to move on with my feelings for Harry but Trevor is not a very good solution to that.

"Why?"

"I don't know this person"

"Don't worry, you're with me." he says. Thats the problem Trevor I'm with you.

"Paige, just tonight" he seats back across me, his eyes begging and I see that vulnerable child again, the one that needs me. One night won't hurt sweetie, my innerself tells me.

"Okay" I say and then he smiled like he just won lottery.

"I'll pick you up seven." he said and I just nodded.

Jen has been helping me get ready. I'm wearing a gold dress just above the knee. The neckline showing just enough cleavage, paired it with a black stiletto pumps, my hair in big curls to add more sophistication. My makeup not heavy but noticeable. I could say Jenny did a good job.

"I wish I could take you"

"Oh no, I don't want to be third wheel."

"Nothing special Jen"

"Yeah, like I don't know Trevor"

"I can't even imagine I'm going out with him tonight, I mean who would have thought we'd bump into each other again." I say

"He never left Paige, he's just around. You just didn't notice."

"I don't know, I mean tonight's not really a date. I'm just accompanying my boss."

"He wants you back Paige, he made it clear." I don't know what to say. Trevor was special to me but I'm still not ready to bring back what was there years ago. I know I'm not in the position to be choosy, Trevor's an absolute catch now but I don't want to repeat history. I was terribly hurt when I found out he cheated. The happiness I felt when I was with him for two years were swept away in just like that. I know he's a player but he promised he's changed since we became exclusive and I believed it, until that day happened.

We were young back then and who am I not to forgive him but aside from my trust issue towards him, just like before my heart belongs to Harry. I thought we're moving on sweetheart, my innerself tells me. Probably I'm just wasting my time talking on a broken line, waiting and forever waiting for Harry but I'm don't want to walk away when I feel that there's still a tiny chance between us. Speaking like a true martyr.

"Oh, I forgot your close now" I told Jen

"Well, we are since you left. He's just using me to get to you."

"I can't imagine you're letting him." Knowing Jen, she's a control freak.

"Trevor needs me, you know that. He's work hard to be better Paige and thats because of you, I really think you should atleast give him a chance"

"We'll see Jen, we'll see."
