'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' 'Oh god' The blonde thought as she looked at the clock in her dorm.She was already ten minutes late to meet Seth and she hadn't even set out yet, making her extremely nervous.What if he thought she was standing him up.What if he was gone when she got there? She couldn't even call him because she had yet to top up her cell phone.The worry was beginning to show in her eyes when she looked at herself in the mirror, smudging the make up around her eyes and blowing on her newly painted fingernails she began to multi task.Applying hair spray and stepping into her shoes, putting her jacket on while attempting to unlock the door.If only she had started getting ready earlier, then again she had prepared herself two hours in advance, why did she have to be one of those girls that took forever to get ready? The answer, she wasn't always, on this occasion she had changed her outfit at least three times, done her hair in two different styles and applied and removed make up at least twice.
Stepping out of her dorm in the black dress she had recently bought with her hair wavy and flowing down her back she nodded to herself.She looked fine right? Shaking her thoughts away she decided this was not the right time to be doubting herself, she needed to get there and meet him, hopefully he would remember that she was female and that they needed more time than males to get ready but by the time she was going to get there she would be around half an hour late.Praying to herself that he was late too or that he would wait for her she exited diamond heights, who's stupid idea was it to meet at the club anyway? why couldn't they have arrived together? Remembering that she suggested it she cursed herself as she got into her car.
Previously she had decided against taking a taxi, only because she remembered what usually happened when she went to a club.she would get drunk and not be able to think straight, do stupid things.This time she really didn't want to do that not when there was so many emotions inside of her that she didn't want to come out, she needed a clear mind so she took her car that way she was limited on what she drank.The drive there was rushed and she was sure the speed limit was against her, if only she could just zoom away and arrive earlier than she was planning to, she kept trying to think of excuses in her mind of why she would be late, she couldn't exactly say 'cuz i didn't know what to wear' that would make her sound stupid, or would it? He understood she liked to make herself look good.
Without even realizing it she arrived, ten minutes after she set out and in her mind she congratulated herself, at least she was only twenty five minutes late? Seth would understand right? He knew she was usually fashionably late though nearly half an hour didn't fall into that category.Pulling into the parking lot she looked in the mirror one last time, making sure she looked presentable.Opening the door she put one leg out, stepping onto the hard ground as her heel clicked, she then climbed out of the car gracefully and shut the door.Flipping her blonde hair behind her shoulder her chestnut brown eyes scanned the area, looking for Seth."Crap.." she said to herself when she couldn't see him, checking the line to the club she sighed, he wasn't there, had he gone home?

[/font][/size][/center] After a long week full of classes and lectures a young man was glad that it was finally the weekend. That young man was Seth Jorden. Finally he could have some time to just relax and be lazy. He wouldn't have to get up early tomorrow it was great. Sure it was only 2 days but still. He was going to enjoy them to the fullest. This weekend he didn't really have any plans. Only one thing was actually planned out. One big thing. Him and the lovely Stephanie Devine were suppose to go out to the club tonight. They were suppose to meet at Cameo and he was incredibly excited. Sure he never admitted that to anyone, well Jamie knew that he was looking forward to it but he never actually told anyone how much he was. Truth was he couldn't wait to go, he had been looking forward to it ever since they made the plans that first day that they saw each other again. Speaking of that day it seemed to play over a lot in his head. Any time that he would just be sitting somewheres doing nothing he'd began to think about it. He'd think about her first reaction to seeing him again, how she had started off being rude to him but then making the transition to the sweet Steph he knew oh so well. The way she would blush at some things that he did, her smile and laugh. The biggest thing though was when she wrapped her arms around his neck giving him a more than friendly hug. She had seemed so happy to recieve one of his drawings yet so sad all at the same time. It made him sorta sad too because he had missed holding her close and longed to hold her longer than he had been able to do.
That was beside the point though, he couldn't be thinking those thoughts. It just wasn't a good idea. Because one nothing would probably happen between them again, he needed to accept that and two what if he got drunk and admitted it all to her. He'd look like a complete fool, especially if she didn't feel the same way. Hence why he needed to make sure that he didn't get drunk. If he did then who knows what would happen. Either way it wouldn't be good, he knew that for a fact. But for now all he had to do was wait until it was time to go. He stared up at his ceiling, headphones in his ears as he listened to In the Ayer by Flo-rida, Will.I.am and Fergie. It was a catchy song and had a good beat to it. It was one of those songs that could get stuck in your head easily and that seemed to happen a lot to him. He was forever getting songs stuck in his head. Lately it always seemed to be that one, Distubia or Just Dance. They were all similar songs due to the fact that they were catchy and would probably be categorized as 'pump up' songs. Letting his gaze fall upon his digital clock he quickly sat up. He only had 30 minutes to get ready and if he didn't he'd be late. He couldn't have that. No, be late for hanging out with Steph just wasn't done. It wasn't allowed in his books, especially since their friendship was just getting back on track. It's not like she wouldn't forgive him for being a little late but still, he wanted to make sure that he did everything right.
After taking a quick ten minute shower Seth rushed around his room looking for a shirt. He had already found a nice pair of light brown pants which he was wearing but he needed something to go with it. Quickly finding a nice light colored shirt he pulled it on and then began to button up the buttons. After that he looked at himself in the mirror. Something didn't seem right, it just seemed so plan. Like there was something missing. Heading back over to his closet he quickly found something to go with his outfit. A nice vest, he put it on and buttoned it up as he walked back over to the mirror. There, that looked awesome. He smiled a bit to himself and then slipped on some shoes. Walking over to his bed side table he picked up a small bottle, it was cologne. He gave himself a quick spray and then set it back down. He was now ready to face the world, well he was ready to go find Stephanie at least. Everything was going well so far, he smelt good, looked good and didn't feel one bit nervous. Heading out the door he didn't bother to lock it since he knew that Jamie was in the lounge and would probably be back soon. He would go tell him that he left it unlocked except he needed to go, he only had like fifteen minutes to get to Cameo so he needed to hurry. Leaving Crage Hall he found his car out in the parking lot and got inside, he started up the engine and then made his way to the road.
Finally. He had finally arrived and he wasn't late. Score! He carefully selected a parking space and then turned off the engine. Grabbing the keys he opened the door and got out. Shoving the keys into his pocket he made his way over to the building. He wasn't sure if Stephanie was here or not already. So far he hadn't seen her outside of the building so why not try inside? Seth entered the club and loud music quickly met him. There were people everywhere. People talking, dancing and drinking. Typical club scene right there. Also it felt incredibly hot in there. Another normal thing, it always felt warm or hot in clubs. Probably because everyone was dancing which caused them to sweat. Oh well though no one ever seemed to care so it was all good right? Yeah. Anyways though so far no good. There was no sign of Stephanie yet. Where was she? Oh no. What if she had arrived earlier than him and thought that he wasn't going to show and left. No! That couldn't have happened. He had to convince himself of that. Maybe she was just talking a while with her outfit or something. That sounded very Steph like plus he liked that statement a lot better than her being her and leaving. He bite his lip and then made his way outside again. It was so crowded in there and he figured that if he came outside he'd see her if she hadn't already showed up. Keeping one hand in his pocket he stood outside the door of Cameo. He was a little worried now since he still hadn't found her. Using his free hand he took out his blackberry and began to look at it, checking to see if she had left any messages or tried to call him.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Oh no hes gone home.Hes stood me up.What if he crashed his car? So maybe the last statement was a little bit of an over exaggeration, Seth was a careful driver right? But what if she was just thinking too rational and not considering what could really happen."pull it together steph" she told herself quietly as she breathed in deep, she was so nervous right now it was unbelievable.Closing her eyes she breathed out and put her hands to her sides, smoothing out her dress before turning around on one foot and facing the opposite side of the club.Removing all of her stupid previous thoughts she decided that he might be inside the club, yeah that was more of a reasonable answer than he crashed his car, but she always thought like that, negatively that is, she just picked out the worst of a situation it was typical Stephanie.
Deciding not to let her mind get the better of her she clenched her purse and started to walk closer to the club , she could hear the music already, the loud catchy almost contagious beat seemed to play in her mind.She felt like dancing right there and then, obviously she wasn't going to make a fool of herself but she found herself humming along to the tune even though she could barely make out what it was.The girls eyes flicked from side to side, she was being the less than confident Stephanie that she hated to be, it seemed that she felt like everybody was watching her, stating that she was the girl that got stood up, or that they were planning against her because she was alone.Frowning slightly she stood up straight, a full on confident pose as her smile beamed from each side of her face, she built her own confidence back up and it felt good.
Stephanie strutted towards the club, this time keeping her eyes on full focus for Seth.He once again entered her mind, she wanted to impress him so bad tonight she just hoped he liked what she was wearing, how her hair was and that he didn't think she was wearing too much make up.'Perfume!' she thought, she forgot perfume, of all things to forget, she loved to smell nice and figured she would remember that.Opening her purse as she continued to walk she searched for perfume, she usually carried it around with her incase of an emergency, well what emergencies can really need perfume? Guy emergencies of course.And this was one of those moments.Spraying it against her neck and her wrists she smiled to herself taking in the scent.
In her moments of happiness she completely forgot about the world around her, she was too focused on getting the perfume back into her purse that she stopped looking ahead yet continued to strut, moving her hips from side to side as she did so.Of course not looking where she was going was going to end bad, but maybe it could be a good kind of bad? Suddenly she felt herself halt and not out of choice, she felt her body press against somebody else's and not just a quick bump she literally stepped right into the figure.Closing her eyes and scrunching her nose in embarrassment she stepped back wards "I'm so sorry.." she started as she opened her eyes and looked up, all of a sudden her face lit up with happiness and relief, a smile played on her lips as she realized who it was."Seth" she said, allowing herself to take a sneaky smell of his cologne as she was so close.
Just like she remembered, the smell brought back so many memories, he always used to wear that.A sudden flash of them at Cbgb's shot into her mind, he wore the same cologne that night, when they danced real close, when he looked after her, when they kissed."I thought i was going to miss you" she stated as her cheeks began to change to a light shade of pink, luckily she could blame it on the humidity though, the heat from inside the club seemed to push its way outside and since they were standing near the door it seemed like a perfect excuse.Though she still looked away, held her hands together infront of her and looked up at the dark night sky, it looked so romantic, the bright white moon, silver stars.Perfection.Shaking her head she looked back to him, she couldn't let herself fall into this trap, not again.

[/font][/size][/center] Standing there Seth tried his best to keep his thoughts in order. He didn't want them to get the best of him. She wouldn't just abandon him by not showing up. That wasn't how she was, sure she could be a bitch at times but she would never promise something and then not go through with it. There would have to be something big happen to make her not stay true to a promise. Especially since she had seemed so nervous about him not keeping it. He wouldn't do that to her not after what happened between them in the past. He couldn't do something bad to her again, he couldn't hurt her, he just couldn't. He wanted everything to be normal between them again. The way that it use to be. The way that it could turn out to be. It's not like it was impossible for them to get back together. If they could handle being friends again they might be able to take things further in their relationship. Wait, he needed to stop this. He needed to stop thinking about dating her. Why couldn't he just accept the fact that they weren't together anymore? Oh right, he was still in love with her. That just made everything much more complicated.
Staring down at his blackberry he noticed that he had gotten one new text message. Was it from her? Uh-oh, what if it said that she wasn't going to be able to make it? What if it was something like that. Nervousness took over his body as soon as he saw it. Part of him wanted to open it while another didn't due to the fact that he was scared that she might have stood him up. You can do this Seth He thought as he looked at the phone, trying to give himself a pep talk to boost his own confidence. It wasn't working very well but he knew that he would have to look at it eventually so he took a deep breath and then opened the message. A huge feeling of relief and slight disappointment hit him. The message wasn't from her it was from Kayley. She was just replying to the message he had sent her hours earlier. That didn't really help him much. It's not that he didn't like talking to Kayley because he did, he really did. She was like a younger sister to him it's just he was hoping that it would be from Steph so that he would know if she was going to show or not.
Quickly typing up a message for his reply he then clicked the send button. About to put his phone back into his pocket he felt another body walk into his own. It was a small body, most likely a girl. She must not have been watching where she was going or something like that. "Oh sorry, are you okay?" The comment basically flew out of his mouth. Typical Seth, thinking about the other person before himself. He looked down at the girl who appeared to be quite embarrassed because of her actions and then realized who it was. It was Stephanie, a smile appeared on his lips as he heard her say his name. She was here! She hadn't stood him up! This was great. Finally he could go on with the night not worrying about if she was going to show up or not. Everything was alright and now that she was here they'd be able to start their um what exactly was it? Would it be categorized as a date or what? It could be, they had made plans to meet here at the club and were both single. Wait a minute, he was single but was she? He had been out of her life for months now, had she met someone else after they broke up? She hadn't mentioned having a boyfriend or being in a relationship when they had talked earlier in the week. Now that these thoughts of her being with some other guy were in his head a new feeling was beginning to come over him. He couldn't quite place it though but it felt like jealousy.
Listening as she stated how she thought she had missed him he smiled a shy smile, "I thought that I had missed you too.." He admitted but then realized that he still had his phone in his hand. He looked down at it and pressed the power, turning it off. There weren't going to be any interruptions tonight. Well at least none from his cell phone. Once it had turned off he carefully put it back into his pocket and then let his hands fall to his sides as he looked at her. He let his gaze fall up and down her body, letting himself look at what she was wearing. Bringing his gaze back up to her face he changed his shy smile to a more charming smile as he felt confidence build up inside him. "You look very nice tonight" Seth said the charming smile still on his face as he complimented her. Truthfully in his mind very nice didn't totally do her justice. She looked extremely beautiful, well sexy actually but he knew that he couldn't say either of those things. It might weird out the conversation which was the last thing that he wanted. He let himself look her up and down again, he'd just have to keep the thoughts of how amazing she looked to himself.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' After hearing him apologize she couldn't help but feel weak at the knees, infact she almost stumbled over.Luckily she controlled herself and made it practically unsee-able to Seth.Why was it that he could be so sweet? If it had been her in the situation she would have gave the person a bitch glare and shouted at them, probably resulting in some kind of fight.But no, this was Seth.He was a total sweetheart and he always thought of everyone else before himself, which could be classed as a downfall but not in this situation, if he was trying to break the barrier she had set up it sure was working, she felt herself grow more and more attracted to him by the second, felt her heart beat faster and long for his arms to wrap around her, for his lips to press against hers and for him to tell her that he loved her, that she was his one and only and...
Why did she always do that? Continuously fell into the 'Seth trap' it was like he had a complete hold over her because every time she tried to tell herself they had to be just friends her mind wandered off onto thoughts of them being together, she was fighting a losing battle yet she wasn't going to let it show.But she couldn't help but smile at him,a shy smile at the way he looked at her.At the way he was dressed, same old Seth.Smart and casual at the same time and completely handsome, his eyes were beaming, his figure was toned, his smile was gorgeous.Flashing him a flirty yet shy smile she nodded "I'm fine, I'm just glad it was you i bumped into..i mean if i was a couple of steps to the left this might not have gone so well" she stated as she gestured her head to the left,where a tall, muscular looking woman stood.
Steph let a jokingly worried facial expression play as she raised her eyebrows and let out a small giggle.Watching him turn off his phone she bit her lower lip, he clearly wanted no interruptions and neither did she, she didn't bring her phone with her tonight, more to the fact that it had no credit on so she couldn't text or phone anybody anyway but because she also didn't want any interruptions, tonight was their night and their night only.She saw a charming smile form on his lips, she wondered what he was about to say when his lips parted though she was nervous, it seemed like they had both taken a couple of minutes to fully take in each others appearance and it was like she was awaiting to find out some big news.Running her fingers through her hair when he complimented her she bit her lower lip as she smiled coyly, looking to the ground shyly she swayed back and forth a little.
"So do you" she replied almost too quiet to hear, she scowled at herself and coughed to try and make her voice a little louder "Handsome even" she then added with a smile so he didn't think she was being idiotic.Licking her lips she leaned forward a little to look through the door of the club, there were about five or six people in front of them but it seemed like Seth had already been inside so they could just walk back in."Is this one of those clubs where you have to get your hand stamped as you pay?" she asked, if so then it was bound to be a classy club, something she hoped for because if hand stamping as the case then that would allow them to know who has payed and who hasn't for when people want to walk out and back in again.Smiling she waited for his response, she wanted to get in there and have a drink with him, catch up on everything she had missed.

[/font][/size][/center] Looking down at the petite girl he waited and then listened attentively as she began to speak. It was a little hard to concentrate since you could hear the loud music coming from the inside of the club but he tried his hardest to pay attention and surprisingly he was succeeding. "Well that's good" He replied quickly when she said that she was fine but then he went quiet while she continued to speak. His eyes moved in the direction that she was pointing to and he saw the other woman. She was much taller and more muscular than Stephanie. At the thought of her running into the other woman he let out a soft laugh, still looking at the woman but then back at her. "I'd say, when I think you two running into each other I think cat fight" He said with a joking tone, "It would've been amusing for me though... but eventually I'd come break it up well I would after getting a good video of the fight that is." He added jokingly with a smirk. It would be quite funny to watch them fight though. There was no denying that fact. It would be amusing and most likely entertaining too. But of course he was only joking about video tapping it, he step in before it got too bad and pry Stephanie off of the other woman. It was still fun to joke about it though, like say that he would video tape it and then post it on youtube. He loved making jokes like that. It was fun.
When he was turning off his phone he heard a small giggle come from her mouth. He wondered if she was thinking about the other day when they had been talking and then his phone had started ringing. It had totally ruined the moment. Plus Seth had to leave right afterwards to meet up with Jamie and their dorm adviser. But now there was no way that, that could happen. His phone was now turned off, in his pocket so there was no way that someone could reach him now and he was okay with that. Tonight was his Stephanie night. Nothing else mattered just her. She would be the only thing that he would think about, the only person he would talk to. Well okay so maybe that wasn't true since he'd need to talk to the bartender to order there drinks but other than that it would just be to her. He had been looking forward to this night all week and now that it was here he was really happy and wanted no interruptions. Not even one! But if something was to happen it would have to be really important otherwise the person or whatever had interrupted them would be dealing with a very annoyed Seth Jorden.
At her response to him complimenting her he smile and let out a small chuckle. He hoped that she wouldn't get embarrassed by the fact that he had started to chuckle. He just couldn't help it. When she spoke at first it was incredibly quiet, he could barely make her out and she could tell. Then she coughed trying to make her voice louder, it was just so cute. When she finally got her words straight he smiled, "Well thank you however between the two of us I'd say that you're the better looking of the pair" He said with a sweet smile. Yeah he had said that between him and her she was better looking and in a way he might have said that in a flirting way. Okay yeah he really had said that in a flirting way, he couldn't help it. It was just the first thing that popped into his mind and it just sorta slipped out. However it's not like it was that bad right? She had acted flirty towards him before and he didn't make a big deal out of that so shouldn't she treat this the same way? It was basically the same situation it was just him doing the flirting this time. Or maybe she might go along with it and like the fact that he had said what he had said. It was hard to say but he'd be finding out soon.
Seth watched her as she leaned forward looking to wards the door of the club. He turned his head back into the direction of the door and also looked. There were a few people but it wouldn't take long to get in since he had already been in and had paid for himself. Hearing her question he looked back down at her and nodded, "Um yeah it actually is" He said as he moved his arm out so that she could see the mark that was on his hand from when he had been stamped moments earlier when he had first went inside to look for her. After showing her he let his hand fall back to his side and then watched as some more people went inside the building. "Are you ready to head inside now?" He asked politely and smiled. Then he decided to do something that he hadn't done for a while. It just seemed like a good idea in his head. What he had done was he held out his arm so that they could link arms. That wasn't that bad since most people did that when they walked and plus that way they wouldn't get separated when they finally got inside because she'd be holding onto him.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' A simple glance, that was all it took.All it took for her to full on smile, because seeing him made her smile and she couldn't control it.Waiting for him to turn his head and see the woman she was gesturing to she swayed back and forth slightly, looking over when he did she laughed quietly so the woman wouldn't hear her, not that she could due to the loud beat from the music inside.Sharply turning her head away to face Seth she realized they had both been staring at the woman and laughing, meaning she might catch on eventually and it scared Steph.Sure she played the 'I'm tough and amazing' card but she knew she could get her ass kicked in a fight, she wasn't the strongest of girls."Oh please" she started in a doubtful tone "you would just think it was hot to see two girls fight, you wouldn't stop it at all" she teased not afraid of making flirty comments now, she had boosted her confidence and she wasn't going to let it drop. Seeing his facial expression as he put his phone into his pocket she began to think about the other day when his phone rang and interrupted their conversation.Now that his phone was switched off nothing like that would happen, she sort of felt bad for being so bitter with him when he explained that he had to leave but she was very short tempered and the fact that she was pissed off outweighed the guilt.After that interruption, when they both parted and went their separate ways for that day she kept thinking about what could have happened if they stayed talking to each other, they were getting pretty close, making comments and giving compliments, there could have been something a whole lot bigger happening.In some cases she was glad that nothing came of it, she had been worried about falling for him again throughout that conversation.
Even though she knew it had already happened.She wasn't really focusing on him at this point, her eyes were wondering around the place, around his figure and not really into his eyes.Except when he chuckled that caught her attention, was he laughing at her poor attempt to speak.Barely having time to get embarrassed he spoke again and this time she smiled, hoping she could reply with her full, loud voice and not a ridiculous mouse like squeak."Well i cant really argue with that can i?" she questioned in a joking tone as she pouted her lips in a model like pose.Laughing it off and shaking her head she returned his sweet smile, loving that he had flirted with her "thank you" she mouthed at him, on purpose this time, she hadn't intended for her voice to work.
Stephanie continued to look through the door while she waited for Seth's response, she couldn't really make out what you had to upon entering so she had to ask that question, she didn't want to look like an idiot and just walk through there.Turning her head when he looked down to her she let her eyes slowly travel down his body and then to his hand "Mhmm" she replied happily as she turned her body to face the door and nodded when he suggested they go on inside.Doing a double take when he held out his arm she wasn't sure if she was imagining it, because he always used to do that when they were entering places, she remembered the time when they went out for their first meal.Lifting her arm up she linked their arms together and gave a happy smile "Yes Mr Jorden i am" she replied and started to walk.

[/font][/size][/center] Still laughing quietly as he looked over at the other women he pulled his gaze away since they were both looking at her and laughing. She hadn't noticed them but if she did it might not be pretty. She was sorta scary looking and quite intimidating. Hearing Stephanie's doubtful tone he looked back down at her and listened as she continued to speak. Seth laughed a bit again and shrugged, "I can't really deny that" He answer with a slight grin as he thought about both girls fighting each other. It would be quite entertaining but there was something else on his mind. She was flirting with him again, this time it wasn't awkward. It was nice and felt normal, just like how it use to feel. He enjoyed it. "But I really think I'd have to break it up eventually.. she might eat you.." He added as he looked down at her. A goofy grin quickly appeared on his lips after he spoke and then he waited for her reaction to his statement. Okay so she wouldn't actually be able to eat Stephanie, the other woman was just so much bigger than Steph. It was fun to joke about that though, the thought of the woman eating her was amusing and pretty funny also.
When he began to chuckle he noted that she looked back up at him. His laughter had caught her attention that was for sure. He hoped that he hadn't embarrassed her but even if he did he didn't give her enough time to stay that way long as he began to speak again. Giving her another compliment. Seeing her smile made his smile grow wider. She had such a beautiful smile, it was truly amazing. It was contagious too, every time he saw it he couldn't help but smile back even if he was in a terrible mood. Well it's not like that happened much but if he ever was she could always find a way to cheer him up and make him smile or laugh. It was nice to have a person like that in your life. Someone who would always be there for you. Seth was beginning to think that she was definitely that person for him. Thinking back on everything they had been through together, everything that had happened she had always been there. Even when he messed up badly she was now back in his life, treating him the way she use to. Hearing her comment the other thoughts disappeared to the back of his mind and he smiled but then began to laugh at her model pose. "No you can't, I won't let you" He said, replying to her comment about how she couldn't argue with that but then when she mouthed thank you to him he gave another sweet smile and nodded as if to say no problem.
It felt like he was waiting forever for her to give her reaction to him holding his arm out for her to take. Okay so it didn't take long at all it just felt long to him due to the fact that he was nervous about it. But then all of his nervousness flew away as he felt her link their arms together and saw her happy smile. She didn't mind his actions, that was good. Not to mention it felt good to have her hold onto him again, even if it was only his arm. It still was nice. He gave a nod, "Alright, let's go then" He said returning the smile and then started to walk with her over to the door. After waiting for a couple short minutes it was finally their turn to go inside. The bouncer looked at Seth and saw that he had a mark on his hand meaning that he had already been stamped and paid but then he looked down at Stephanie. She hadn't been in yet so she still needed to get her stamp and pay. She needed to pay, no she didn't. He'd pay for her. It was only right, he had invited her to come and plus he wanted to. The man began to talk, asking for the money and explaining how she needed to get her hand stamped. As this was going on Seth slipped his free hand into his back pocket he pulled out his wallet and then took out the amount of money that was needed for her to get in. "Here you go" He said as he paid the bouncer and then shoved his wallet back into his back pocket. Now that was taken cared of. All that was left was for her to get stamped and then they could go inside.
Soon after he paid the bouncer looked down at her again and waited for her to hold out her hand so that he could mark her with the stamp. Once she co-operated the man said that they could both go in now. Seth looked down at her and smiled and then walked in through the door. As soon as they went inside a rush of warm air and loud music hit him. There were people everywhere. People dancing, people drinking, people talking. You really couldn't escape it. But oh well, that wasn't really a problem now was it. Walking in further with her he began to make his way to wards the bar. He figured that, that would be a good place to start off their evening. That way Seth could buy her the drink that he promised and they could have a little talk. Fill each other in on what had been happening lately. It would be cool. When they finally found the bar he slipped his arm away from hers so that they were no longer linked and then took a seat on one of the empty bar stools. There was another one beside him for her to take when she was ready. The bartender came over to them and asked if they would like anything, "Um a beer for me and.." He paused and looked over at Stephanie, "Here's your chance for that free drink" He said with a slight chuckle, "Order what ever you like" He added and smiled at her.[/blockquote][/size]

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Upon hearing his response she laughed, she was at least expecting him to deny it maybe for just a little while but he full on went out there and answered her with a truthful reply saying he would enjoy it and he couldn't deny it.It made her laugh to think that they were easily talking now, that everything had been a blurry mess of confusion previously and now it seemed fine, like they hadn't even had a bit of a rough patch.Both their slates were cleaned and ready to start something new.Easily told by the way they were joking and flirting again."You were quick to speak about that one weren't you?" she questioned rhetorically giving him a small smirk as she rolled her eyes jokingly.
Cutting off her sarcastic roll of the eyes was a huge laugh, a full hearty laugh as Seth made the comment about the woman eating her, that was so funny because she actually imagined that being the case.She was just so big and scary looking, quite intimidating really."Stop being mean.." she demanded through her laughing, she didn't really care about him saying that infact she was quite ticked that she didn't think of it first.Hearing his laugh when she did her model pose it made her feel accomplished, they had shared so many laughs in the past and to be re enacting it again was such an exhilarating feeling, he was probably one of the only few people that really knew how to bring this side out and how to make her laugh properly, he knew how to push her buttons in such a good way.
Linking arms with him felt so right yet so wrong.Not wrong in the sense where she felt awkward and like it was a really bad thing, that wasn't the case at all it just felt forbidden, like she shouldn't let herself fall into a trap of false sense of securities.What would Harlow say? What would Harlow say? Repeated in her mind.Of course her best friend couldn't say anything as of yet, they were just friends though when she told her about all of this she probably wouldn't be best pleased, only because she had been there when Steph's heart had been broken and she cared for her.Cutting her thoughts off when they reached the door she gave a small smile at the bouncer and watched him as he looked at Seth's hand, her small hand lifted up about to open her purse to get the correct amount of money when all of a sudden she heard Seth's voice."Seth you didn't need t-" before she could finish he had already payed, she let the bouncer stamp her hand and gave Seth the sweetest of smiles.
Entering the building was like a breath of fresh air.Well a breath of fresh air in the sense that it wasn't so fresh, the smell of dancing bodies and alcohol roamed the premises.But it was so exciting to be back out at a club, she was a typical party girl and a sucker for a good beat it seemed even more amazing that she could be here with Seth."you didn't have to pay for me you know" she told him as they began to walk closer to the bar still arm in arm.Unlocking their arms she watched as Seth sat down on one of the bar stools, she let her eyes scan the beverages behind the bartender before taking her seat.Keeping what she wanted in mind she sat down and waited for Seth to order before she did but when he paused she looked at him blankly, completely forgetting about the deal she made with him "oh right yeah, i get a free drink" she laughed as she let it slip back into her mind "hmm ill have a martini" she stated as she shuffled her chair a little closer to him.

[/font][/size][/center] Usually when Stephanie would make a comment like that he'd deny it at first. Possibly give in later but not agree right away, especially with a flirty comment like that. Yet this time he just went with it. It just felt like the right thing to do and nothing else popped into his mind. The only thing that did was what he said. Oddly he was fine with it too. It was sorta fun just not caring and acting flirty around her. It had been so long since he had done that. It felt just like old times, the way they could just laugh and joke around. There was no tension between them, no awkward moments everything just seemed so well perfect. He listened to her comment and saw her smirk and roll her eyes jokingly at him. He let a mischievous grin play on his lips as he nodded, "Yeah I suppose I did" He said simply as he looked at her.
His grin changed to a happy smile when he heard her burst out laughing. It was because of his comment. The one where he said that the other woman might eat her. He laughed along with her as he thought about it a bit more. "Never!" Seth stated clearly but then continued laughing as he looked at her. There were many reasons to why he was laughing now. He was laughing at the joke he had made about her being eaten by the woman, the fact that she was laughing which caused him to laugh also and just the silliness of this part of the conversation. Sure it was a little immature but it was fun. And as strange as it was that was how he always acted around Steph. Sure he could act mature when he needed to but when she got him cracking jokes and teasing her he could become quite immature but it was a good thing because he never failed to make her laugh.
At first he felt nervous about suggesting that they link arms. There was the chance that she ignored it or just denied his request but she hadn't. She had accepted it and looked extremely happy when she did so. Seeing her happy about it made Seth pretty happy too. He liked the feeling of their skin touching. It sent those familiar shivers down his spine but he tried his best to hide them. He tried to ignore them too. Tonight was just them hanging out together. Just two close friends, at a club. Nothing more. Even though he wanted it to be more he knew that he couldn't try anything. Their relationship was just becoming good again, it was coming back on track. He couldn't chance messing it up. When he took out his money to pay for her way in he heard her voice. She seemed a bit surprised that he had offered to pay but he didn't care. He was going to pay no matter what, it was his choice and he really didn't mind. It was his treat and besides, later on tonight she'd be buying him a drink. She had said so in their msn conversation that they had had the other day.
When they were walking in the club together he head her voice again. She was mentioning how he didn't need to pay. He looked down at her while walking and began his answer, "Well I know that.. I just wanted too" He said and flashed her a small smile before looking up again. Cutting through the crowd they finally reached the bar. It wasn't much of a shock, it just looked like every other bar that you would see in a club. They all were similar in some way or another there was no denying that. After taking a seat and ordering his own drink he waited for Stephanie to answer him. As soon as she replied the bartender nodded and then left to get their drinks. "Yes you get your free drink now.. and I expect mine later" He said teasingly and then pulled out his wallet again when the bartender slid his beer in his direction and then gave Steph her martini. He paid the man and then stuck his wallet back in his pocket after wards. Picking up the beer bottle he looked down at it and then slowly moved it up to his lips. Seth then took a drink of it. The liquid felt good since it was so warm in the room. Removing the bottle from his lips he looked over at Stephanie who seemed to be sitting pretty close to him in her chair. Had she moved it a closer to him? He wasn't sure but it didn't matter. He smiled, "So how was your week?" He asked in an attempt to start another conversation plus he was curious to what she had been up to.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Stephanie shook her head at him with a smile on her face to mimic his grin.Typical guy, then again she gathered he was joking since the other women they were talking about fighting with wasn't exactly a Britney spears- a like.More of a wrestler kind of girl, she couldn't help but keep glancing over at her but she was actually glad she wasn't a beautiful young woman because that would spark up the feeling of jealousy that Stephanie hated so much."Hmm too bad really, i mean..why go for the two when you could just have one?" she stated in a more than flirty tone of voice as she perched one of her eyebrows and side smiled.Ok so maybe she was acting a little too much like they used to but she was enjoying herself, how long had it been since she had fully been able to be herself? Too long that was the answer.
Even though her eyes weren't directly on Seth she could still picture his face in her mind, only because he was laughing along with her and as much as she wanted to stare into his eyes and fully enjoy the laughing fit they had both been dragged into she decided against it.Placing her hand over her mouth to try and stop laughing she couldn't seem to manage it, it wasn't just the joke he had made that was causing her to laugh now it was the fact that he was laughing with her and when somebody else laughed it usually got passed on to her.
Walking into the club with their arms linked she felt a sense of pride hit her.Pride that she wasn't alone and she was with this amazing man, it even made her smile but of course she wouldn't admit that to him, it would probably make his jokes raise sky high not to mention his ego and she wanted to avoid the teasing in that particular area.Once she had spoken she wanted to hear his reply, she wondered what he was going to say when she told him he didn't have to pay, it was honestly a shock to her because it wasn't like they were dating or she was short of money or anything and he had still payed for her, it was a sweet gesture though, she appreciated it."Well thats really sweet, but like i said you didn't have to" she smiled as she spoke sternly, she just wanted him to know that she wasn't trying to use him for his money or whatever, stupid thought she knew that but she had to be sure.
As she sat at the bar she let her eyes slowly travel around the room, looking at the selection of alcohol and then around to the other people enjoying their night out.It seemed like such an exciting scene, dancing, drinking, partying it was all definitely her thing and it was so great to be a part of it again.Hearing Seth's voice she turned her head to face him and gave a small grin "Hmm, i might keep that offer...depends how you behave" she said cheekily as she raised her eyebrows quickly.Before she knew it their drinks had arrived and she hardly even waited for the man to hand it to her before she took it, it seemed so long since she had consumed alcohol, even though that girls night out with Harlow pretty much got her wasted.Holding the glass firmly she ran one finger around the rim as she looked up to Seth "amazing, I'm loving being at college, the fashion course I'm on is excellent i have so much freedom in it..nothing like high school, and the people here are good too, what about you?" she asked continuing to run her finger over the glass.

[/font][/size][/center] The playful grin was still plastered all over Seth's face. Right now was just so much like how it use to be. The way they were acting, their actions, the scene. It was almost like a dream. Everything seemed the same except for the fact that they were in Miami and not New York. He was okay with that though, New York had never bit his favorite place to be. He lived there for all of his live and the whole time he wished that he could move far away from it all. There had never been one thing about it that he liked. Okay so maybe that wasn't entirely true. He liked Kristina, Jasper and of course Stephanie. Krissy had always been the one that made him think that New York wasn't totally awful but then when Steph started talking to him, that really made the difference. He met Jasper through her and they became the best of friends. Sure not many people knew about their friendship since they kept it secret. Only a few people knew. It was all because of the elite/outsider thing. Most of Jas's friends didn't like Seth which was just another reason that it was kept secret. But when it was just Seth and Jasper they always had amazing times, cracking jokes, pulling pranks on Steph. It was all good.
But then there was Stephanie. When she began to talk to him and when they started dating that really changed his perspective on New York. Being with her, it made him love it. All of the thoughts of wanted to move disappeared as quick as possible. She made things incredibly awesome and truthfully he doubted that she knew how much he appreciated it all. Hearing her next flirty comment knocked all of his thoughts out of his mind. Wow she was really flirtatious tonight. He found it amusing and very amazing. It was nice to hear her flirting with him and him doing the same with her. He bit his lip softly as his mind quickly began turning, trying to find a good comeback to what she had said. There were two ways he could deal with this. One was that he could go along and flirt more or two he could push her buttons a little bit. The second one was sounding quite interesting especially since something popped into his mind. Seth gently placed his hand on her arm, making it look like he was going to push past Stephanie to go talk to the other woman. "I think I'm going to go over and see if I can get her number" He said using a fake serious tone as he pushed her slightly to the side. He began to move forward a couple small steps to wards the woman but halted as he turned back around so that Steph could see him again, he gave her a wink as another grin flew onto his face.
Laughing fits. Gosh they were so amazingly fun yet awful at the same time. So they weren't actually awful, it was more of awful in a sense that your sides became so sore yet you couldn't help it. Really it was a good awful. A laughing fit was what Seth and Stephanie were going through right now. His laughter was just pouring out, it felt like he couldn't stop. His sides were beginning to pain too from all of the laughing yet he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. This was a great moment, nothing could ruin it. Watching as she covered her mouth, trying to stop her own laughing he felt as his eyes began to close. While this was going on he rested his right hand against the left side of his chest. He needed to attempt to control his laughing now other his sides might never be the same after this. Who knows he might need some type of surgery if he didn't stop now. Beginning to inhale and exhale deeply his laughter began to fade away. The deep breathes were working, his sides were thankful for that. Opening his eyes back up he looked down at her with that goofy smile he always got when they were joking around together. That smile was definitely something she would be familiar with, it always seemed to find room on Seth's face when she was around. It almost didn't matter what they were doing, it'd just show up if they were doing something together like this. Now that he was under control again he removed his hand from resting against his vest and then shoved it into his pocket.
Seth liked the feeling of their arms linked. Of her holding onto his, it made him happy. Made him think of the old days. Back then Seth always paid for thing, he'd pay if she wanted a drink or something to eat and also he would pay when they would enter a club. Just like how he had done now. There had always been stuff that he couldn't pay for like some of the clothes that she wore or big fancy dinners due to the fact that he wasn't rich. But still, for the stuff he could afford he'd usually pay. It's just what he did. Had she forgotten? It almost seemed like she had because she acted like his kind gesture had shocked her a little. She seemed happy about it though. He nodded when she spoke again, her voice was happy yet stern. "Hey don't worry about it, tonight let's just have a good time alright" He said as he looked down at her with a kind smile on his face. Tonight they were just going to hang out, have a few drinks maybe even do some dancing. They were going to have fun. He had paid for her to get in and that was that. He only did that because he wanted to, end of story.
Hearing her cheeky reply the small grin that was on his face began to grow into a larger one. This girl was just so amazing. There was nothing she could do wrong in his eyes. She was beautiful, funny, smart and sweet. Okay so she wasn't always sweet but usually around him she was. Everything she did could make him smile. It was hard to stop she just made him so happy. There were so many things that he wanted to tell her tonight but he knew that he couldn't. He'd want to tell her that he was still in love, wanted to get back together, how much he had missed her. Those things were all so very true but they would need to stay inside of him. He'd need to make sure that they didn't slip out otherwise it might harm the friendship that was just getting back on track. Trying to erase these thoughts from his mind he opened his mouth to reply to her comment. "Well I guess I'll have to be a good boy tonight then" He replied with a smirk. After that comment he began to watch as she touched the rim of her glass and waited for her reply to his earlier question. When she did began to speak again he gave her his full attention, he began blocking out the music so that he could hear was her voice. "That's good to hear and I must agree, I love the art program here. It's so awesome definitely a lot different from high school" He said with a small chuckle, "I'm really enjoying it so far, I hope that it keeps going this well" He added as he looked down at the bottle of beer in his hands but then back at her.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' The way she was flirting with him, it seemed like everything had shot back a year or so , to when they were in high school.She had flashbacks of the two of them, standing outside the restaurant that they had their first date in.When Seth payed her compliments and pushed her hat down to joke with her, for some reason she felt exactly the same as she did that day, nervous and completely lovestruck because then and there, it just felt so right, nothing could make her think otherwise.Back in new York when they were together it had to have been the best moments of her life, the way he treated her so well and the way he could always see through her, even when she was being a complete bitch he knew how to twist her back to being a sweet girl, to being 'his' Stephanie.She wasn't just Stephanie Devine when she was with him, it was a brand new Steph.A much more happy and approachable Steph.
Letting her eyes study his facial expression she couldn't help but smile because his grin was just so sexy, so playful and flirtatious, maybe he hadn't meant it in that way but she certainly took it like that and she really couldn't help but imagine herself being able to hold him again.Snapping out of it when he placed his hand on her arm she looked at it, allowing herself to feel those familiar feelings but they were soon ripped away when he pushed her to the side a little, sensing he was joking she let herself smile again as she turned to see what he was doing.And when he spoke she laughed, but even though she knew he was joking she couldn't help but feel a little jealous, why? That woman wasn't Seth's type, probably wasn't anyones type.Ever.But still, she hated the idea of him talking to someone else like that."Fine, go ahead..im sure shes a monster in the bedroom department" she teased, masking her jealousy , she couldn't help but giggle at her statement.
But when she looked back up she caught a glimpse of the wink he sent in her direction, she shook her head at him but still showed that she was happy that he was joking with her by a simple smile.That simple smile soon followed into them linking arms and walking into the club, the way his kind smile was reflected by the lights in the building made it seem so much more powerful, like he was the sweetest guy on earth, well that was most definitely true, in her eyes anyway.And the statement he made, about them having a good time, she knew full well that it was going to come true, how could she not have a good time with him? When was there ever a moment that they didn't have a good time together? Of course the argumentative phase they went through wasn't exactly happy days but they happened to have climbed through it, accepted that it was the past and moved on, and now she was going to enjoy her night with the man she knew she would never stop having feelings for."I am one hundred percent positive that we will.." she replied softly.
At this point in the conversation she wanted to have his full attention, she wanted to give him her full attention so she stopped tracing her finger over the glass and instead held it tightly as her brown eyes locked to his."Don't you mean a good man Seth?" she smirked giving off a flirty sort of tone to her voice as she brought the glass to her lips and took a sip of the drink, the cold liquid felt soothing against her throat, something that would probably come in handy for when the loud music was playing and she had to keep shouting for Seth's attention.Nodding at his statement she smiled, it was like they were on the same level "Mhmm, i totally agree, i mean i used to love high school..well not all of the drama and some of the people but i mean it was good you know? but College...its amazing, i wont want to leave" she said as her smile grew wide "I'm sure it will keep going well, i mean you have a talent for it..your like the picasso of our time..well maybe not so crazy but you get the point" she laughed a little.

[/font][/size][/center] It was weird. Seth couldn't believe it. So many things were happening to him lately. What with the return of Kristina, his run in with Nathaniel and now this big thing with Steph. Ever since they had first made their plans he had been nervous about it. Nervous that he might mess something up, or that she might have a boyfriend, that she might just not have a good time with him anymore. There had been so many things that were on his mind. It wasn't his fault. It was just he had hoped that he would have been able to get over her. To forget about what had happened between them and their relationship. But he had told someone, it was out in the open. Okay so it wasn't completely out there. Only two people knew. Those people were Crystal Mcqueen and Nate. The reason that Crystal knew was because they had dated over the summer. But he broke it off with her because of his feelings to wards Stephanie. He just couldn't commit to her. She had understood that and they stayed friends. While the other day Nate had been questioning him about them and their little get together. That's when he admitted it to him. Hopefully he hadn't told Steph but he had pretty good faith in Nate. He was sure that he hadn't spilled the beans. If he had Steph would've acted weirdly or something. And she wasn't acting weird. She was being her normal self. Joking around, flirting with him, smiling. It was all really cool. Hearing her comment he let out a loud laugh but then covered his mouth as he hadn't meant for it to be so loud. He hoped the other woman hadn't heard him. Although if she had, it would've been funny.
Calming his laughter down he looked at her and nodded jokingly, "Oh yes I bet you are right about that" He said knowing that she was teasing. He didn't plan on going off with her though. She sorta scared him plus she just wasn't his type. It would be too strange. Since he had moved a couple small steps away from Steph he walked back to his original position and began to look down at her again. "I don't think i'm gonna go ask for her number though," He continued, "I'd rather be with you" As soon as he said that he wanted to take it back. He just wished that he could rewind time and keep his mouth closed. That he could've just went with his first comment. Of course he had to keep talking. What an idiot. He needed to smooth this out. "W-well you k-know, I mean tonight we were suppose to um hang out. I couldn't just ditch you, that would be rude" He said quickly, stuttering at the first since his slip on words had caused him to become a little nervous just like how he had been the first night he had saw her at cbgb. He just hoped that she would ignore his comment or go with his cover up or both. He meant what he had said but he just didn't mean to say it out loud. Something like that is better left in your head in a situation like this.
I am one hundred percent positive that we will..
When she said that he smiled. He smiled a nice happy but sweet smile. From the tone of her voice and just the way she had said it he knew that she was right. They really were going to have a great time. He was glad that he came, glad that she had showed up. He was even more glad that he had met her back on the campus grounds. If that hadn't have happened then they wouldn't have been here right now. Who knows what would have happened. They might still have not met up again. It would've been horrible. It was almost like they were meant to meet up. Like it was fate. Maybe they truly were meant to be friends. It sure seemed that way because both of them had moved far away from each other but only to find out that they had moved to the same place. "I couldn't agree with you more.." He said copying her tone as the familiar sweet smile was still playing on his lips. Their conversation was going well. He was giving her his attention and it seemed like she was doing the same thing. They were both focusing closely on each other. Almost like no one else was in the room. It was lovely. Another few laughs slipped out when she made her comment about him being a man. She had used another flirty tone with him. She was being quite the flirt tonight.
"You're right.. I guess I am a man now.." He said as he thought about it. "It's hard to believe that we're all grown up now. Out in university. It seems so surreal" He added as he looked down at his beer bottle and then listened as she began to speak. He nodded, it seemed like they were agreeing on everything tonight. "Once again I agree with you, weird isn't it" He joked but then spoke again, more seriously this time, "It's a big change, coming here now but I'm glad that I chose UOM. I can't really picture myself anywheres else. It's just so great here and for once I feel like I belong.." Back in high school he had always wanted to get away. He was bullied a lot and Steph knew that. He just always thought that if he lived somewheres else that it would be different. Better. Now that he was in Miami it was. Not as many people disliked him. Only a couple did. Sure there would probably be more in the future but right now he had more friends than enemies. It was amazing and he was enjoying every second of it. He definitely hoped that it would last. Thinking about her Picasso comment he laughed a little, "Oh Steph, I'm flattered that you think that but i'm not quite there yet. Who knows what'll happen in the future though. You never know, some day you might be able to say that you were a close friend of the great Seth Jorden" A grin on his face as he spoke and looked over at her.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Watching the way he laughed was just so amazing, she loved making him laugh because it proved she did actually have a good side, that she was capable of making people happy aswell as what she usually did.It was weird to think she had gone without these kind of conversations for a year or so because she really thought she had got over him, well as much as a person can get over another without constantly thinking about them anyway.It was like he was perfect for her in every way, like no matter who else she saw, dated, talked to , none of them lived up to her expectations, nobody but Seth.Sure she had dated a couple of guys in the time that this 'break' had taken place but none of them made her feel the way that artistic man made her feel, she just couldn't stay in relationships like that.
When she thought about it, it was actually amazing she made it through this year because if it weren't for Harlow and Ethan she wouldn't have done, Harlow had been her rock through it all and Eth had been her go to guy, the one that had uplifted her spirits when Harlow couldn't.They were like a 'fix Stephanie' duo.Letting her brown eyes glance to the woman again she giggled quite loudly, at all of the comments they had both made about her, it was just one of those moments, one of those times she probably would never forget."I think i might ask for her number--" she said in a teasing tone of voice but before she could continue she caught the last part of what he said."Id rather be with you" those words shot through her like a bullet, only the impact was good, amazing even..it just sort of hit her in one big emotional moment.The look in her eyes, the way her lips curled up ever so slightly at the sides into a barely noticeable smile both showed that she was more than happy about what he said.
But could she really reply to that and say that she would rather be here with him than be with anybody else in the world.Ever! That she actually didn't even notice the huge crowds around them because of the intense feeling she got when she was with him that blocked everybody out other than him and him alone? No she couldn't say that could she.But why not? Maybe now was the time to-- cutting her thoughts away she listened to his next words.Too late.He obviously didn't mean it in the way she took it."Oh yeah, i totally get what you mean...um.." she paused for a while and darted her eyes around a little "But that wont stop me from going over there and testing out my bedroom theory" she then added jokingly as she winked at him, maybe he did mean it in the way she took it? he was nervous after all and to cover up with a joke might make him feel better, it certainly made her feel better.
Stephanie crossed one leg over the other as she turned her body to fully face him, previously she had been facing the bar, leaning against it as she held onto her drink but she wanted to fully face him now.With his next statement in mind she gave a smile, she couldn't agree more, it did seem surreal that they were all grown up now."i know right, i mean it doesn't feel like it was that long ago that we sat down to do our exams at school" she replied shaking her head in shock, it was crazy..one moment they were care free in high school and the next they were loaded with stress in college.Surreal was an understatement.She let out a laugh when he mentioned it was weird that they were agreeing with each other a lot "it actually is, we never agreed on much..opinions wise..but you know what they say" she paused and smiled "opposites attract" that could have been taken in a flirty way or just a friendly way, she didn't really give much off in that sense because she was sticking to the mysterious side, if he wanted it to be flirty he could take it like that, she was more than willing to allow it.
She began to listen to the other things he had to say, more seriously now, she pushed away the 'blonde vixen' as Seth would say and kept to being Stephanie, the one that listened and actually cared about others opinions."Well you always belonged in my eyes.." she replied seriously with a friendly smile, it was true..he always said he didn't fit in and that nobody took him seriously but to her he was everything back then, it didn't matter what anybody said about him he was special, the idiots at the school just took a little more time to realize it than she did.Rolling her eyes slightly at his comment she shrugged as she took another sip of her drink, placing it back on the bar she smiled "maybe..but that will be when I'm being interviewed for being the worlds most famous fashionista" she replied, playing along with his joke.
