AUBREE’S POV
“Bree don’t forget our dinner tonight.” Seb said softly as he took me to my unit.
We just finished our rehearsal for the new lines of Inarez Clothing.
I’m actually expecting Gavin to be there. I heard from the staffs that he has arrived from his business trip. But he did not come. I was even more sad and I just missed him even more.
He used to see to it that he was always there during rehearsals and final runway.
My sadness turned to excitement when Seb told me that we had a dinner date with Sam and Gavin.
“Okay.” I said smiling.
I can’t help but to smile the whole day. Finally I will see him again.
As soon as I went inside my place, I immediately looked for a dress to wear for the said dinner.
After an hour I still could not find anything to wear for tonight.
I sighed as I looked at my clothes scattered on my bed.
I looked at my watch. Its still early, I can still buy a dress outside.
I immediately grabbed my bag and left.

When I arrived at one of the boutiques of Inarez I was immediately assisted by one of their staffs.
They recommend some dress that I can wear for the said dinner but the tube royal blue dress caught my attention.
I immediately take the dress and looked in the mirror to see how will I look with this dress.
I smiled. This dress is perfect.
It’s simple, the only accessories that it has are the crystals that surround the waist part.
The cut is just the right, its 2 inches above the knee.
I went into the fitting room to check if it will fit me.
I smiled as I put it on. It fits me perfectly, as if it were really made for me.
I immediately took the dress and paid for it.
I was in the car when I saw Sam and Gav together and entering the boutique where I came from earlier.
I can see the joy in their eyes.
I swallowed. I felt pain in my left chest. Until I realized my tears were flowing.
Gav looks very fine and very happy.
I know I should be happy for him, because it looks like that he already moved on. But I don’t know why I don’t seem to like that idea.
Sam seems right. She can make him fall for her. I can see the joy in his eyes now that he is with Sam.
I suddenly remembered the last time we’ve talked. He seems very happy now, compare last time, he looks miserable.

“Are you okay?” Seb asked me worriedly.
Here we are in front of the restaurant where we will be having our dinner.
I forced a smile and nodded.
“Let’s go?” Seb said softly.
I just nodded as an answer.
He smiled before getting out of the car. He turned to my side to open the door for me.

GAVIN’S POV
Sam and I were already in the restaurant. We were waiting for Sev and Aubree because we will be having a dinner tonight.
I do not know how I will feel. I haven’t seen Aubree for over a month.
I kept myself busy just to avoid her and trying my best to forget her.
I tried to turn my attention to other women, hoping I could forget about her. I did some blind dates arranged by my mom.
Actually she has been forcing me have a blind dates for a long time but I don’t like it because it is not in my focus and priorities.
When I told my Mom to find me a blind date she hesitated at first.
I was not surprised because I knew she liked Aubree for me. But I told her our story, she felt sad about it. That is why in the end she agree to arranged blind dates for me.
I dated five girls but none of them caught my attention.
So I guess blind date is not for me.
That is why I accepted all my out of the country business meeting, maybe by being a workaholic, I will be able to forget what I feel towards her.
But unfortunately I was not able to succeed. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her, I miss her so much to the point that I buy a plane ticket back to the Philippines almost every day.
I like to thank Sam, because of her updates about Seb and Aubree I was able to stopped myself from returning to the Philippines.
I felt sorry for her though. I know that it is not easy for her to see those two being sweet to each other.
That’s why I did not declined this dinner.
So I guess tonight I can’t escape anymore. I need to face them.
