I could never walk outside without being swarmed with paparazzi's asking me how I feel about Seth's wedding around the corner .
Ethan had to be my escort all the time to push off the paparazzi I couldn't even walk to the grocery store to buy some milk .
" How do you feel about Seth marrying someone more wealthier than you ?"
" Are you and Martzia Valentinez going to have a cat fight ?"
" Is it true your carrying Seth's child ?"
I gripped my hair in frustration peering out my window seeing paparazzi's waiting for me by my door .
I moved back in with Olivia but we decided to rent a penthouse close my Manhattan since Olivia's fashion line is coming up the list she has been bathing in money ever since .
" There outside again ?" Ethan says buttoning his long sleeve baby blue dress shirt .
" Yes and they don't look like there leaving anytime soon " I wrap my covers around me shivering from the cold .
" I will be working all night " Ethan frowns wrapping his arms around my waist squeezing me tightly .
" I'll see you tomorrow " I kiss his lips and he leaves my room .
I decided to take a quick shower before my shifts start , as I wrap the towel around my head and turn the radio I froze as I heard Seth's voice .
" getting married in two days how do you feel ?" The host says .
" I'm really excited I can't wait " Seth says but something about his voice seems detached and practiced .
" Everyone is excited ... Say how is your ex fiancé taking this " I knew that question was begging to come out his nosy mouth .
There was a pause " I don't know ... I haven't seen her in three months " Seth says his voice strained and faint .

My phone buzzed .
Leah texts me and I quickly put on a black pencil skirt and a long sleeve blouse .
•••
Work was busy everyone was buzzing about Seth's wedding and throwing me snide glances here and there .
" Ms Cruz you have a visitor coming up " my phone buzzed and I pressed the green button .
" Ok " I sat back fixing my papers when my door opened revealing a tall man in a business suit , his nike hat was pulled down only thing visible was his defined jawline .
" Um.. Who are you?" I raised my brow as he closed the door locking it .
" Seriously who are you " I say as he pulled off his suit jacket revealing his toned arms under his dress shirt .
He pulled off his cap and I blinked in shock as Seth stood in front of me backing me against the wall .
" Seth what are you —"
He attacked my lips with such fury and passion and he took my breath with every movement of his full lips .
I couldn't help but to respond back but a voice was yelling me to stop but I couldn't .
I was clouded my lust and the feel of his hands all over my body , but then I thought of Ethan and how were dating I shoved Seth with all my might away from me and he stood in front of me his chest rising and falling .
His hair was in a disbelieved mess and his lips were swollen from our heated make out session .
" W-why did you kiss me ?" I say trying to catch my breath .
" I miss you " he says his tone soft and velvet .
My heart raced as he said that making a weird feeling in my chest .

" You can't say that your getting married soon —"
" I know but ... Talking about you and seeing your pictures everywhere made me loose my mind and I needed to see you " he says breathlessly running his fingers through his hair .
" Seth... " I say but he cuts me off grabbing my hands .
" I just needed to kiss you one last time I just need to hear you say that you want me and I'll call the wedding off —"
" No " I snapped and he flinched his jaw hardening .
" You can't just come in here and kiss me it's wrong - you have a fiancé and I have a boyfriend " I rip my hands from his warm soft hands .
" Don't act like you didn't like that kiss Lydia I know you did " he says from behind me as I stack my papers .
My heart raced as I felt his breath behind my neck feeling his warm fingers brush my long locks beside .
" I think you should go " I swallowed a lump in my throat .
" Are you sure ?" He asks his tone hard and teasing and husky which made my legs turn to jelly .
" Yes " I turned but that was a mistake as our nose touched and our lips grazing .
" You really want me to leave " he whispers trapping me with my desk his hands gripping my thighs lifting me to sit on the desk .
" Y-yes " I made a stupid mistake of talking as our lips touched and we soon began yet another make out session .
I gripped his hair loving the softness of it as he gripped my waist and one hand cupped my butt as he brought me closer to him .
I noticed a red blink in the corner of my eyes seeing the camera that my boss Andrea put a few weeks ago .
I shoved Seth off of me covering my mouth in my hands in shock .
" There's a camera in here " I say and he widens his eyes looking at the camera .
" Shit !"
Shit indeed ...
