All Chapters of Meant to be?: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Once I was back home that evening, I started to rummage through my closet to find a perfect dress. I was not looking forward to this fundraiser in the beginning but now that I wasn't going alone, I wanted to look good and sexy. I finally settled on a silver floor-length gown that had a deep neckline. After taking a nice shower, I wore my dress and started to work on my makeup, keeping it subtle. I ran a comb through my hair and quickly pulled it to the side and tied it in a bun, leaving just a few strands of hair to frame my face. It was almost 7 pm and Dan would be here any minute now. I grabbed my clutch and slipped my feet inside a pair of silver high heels and rushed to the living room. At sharp 7 pm, I heard my doorbell go off. I took a few deep breaths and walked towards my door expecting to see Dan but it was Theo with his tie in his hand. He was looking annoyingly sexy as always in his three-piece tuxedo. 

"I'm here," Theo announced and walked towards her while I reminded hidden behind the bushes. "Are you okay? Did Lucy find you?" she asked in an extra worried tone and I rolled my eyes at the way she was acting all innocent and caring. "I'm okay and uhhh...I didn't see Lucy." He stammered a bit and I let out a small sigh. It was time for me to go home. I had enough drama for one night and I just wanted to get out of my clothes and sleep in my own bed. Once I was able to hear only muffled voices, I realized that they were walking away from me and I slowly came out of my hiding. I started to make my way towards my car and tried to hold back my sob. Everything was messed up and now I had no idea if he was going to end things with Grace.

I tried to stay calm but it was so hard to do so when she was saying stuff like this."Of course not, she is my friend and she is your friend too. She was just trying to help you out." Theo added and she immediately broke into a small smile."Thank God, I was worried you might be mad at her and that I ruined your friendship or something." She let out a dramatic sigh and I rolled my eyes.Come on, was it just me?She was clearly faking it.I take it all back. I am so not going to feel bad for her anymore."I hope we can be good friends because I really like Lucy and I don't want it be awkward between us." He announced, shoving his hands in his pockets while my eyes went wide.What was he trying to do?Apply salt to her wounds?"Wh---What?" she stuttered, letting out a small laugh, looking

We settled down at our seat at the corner of the restaurant which had a beautiful view of the seashore and our table was beautifully lit with candles. It was all so cheesy and romantic and I found myself loving it more and more with every passing second."I ordered for both of us already because I didn't want to waste a second with you." He spoke and I narrowed my eyes at him."You ordered because you already know what I like. Don't be so cheesy," I teased him, placing the napkin on my lap and he chuckled at my response. "Dammit, you are right. This should be like our 100th date or something because I know everything about you." "Told you so," "That's okay, I still love it and there are still some things that I haven't explored." He responded in a seductive tone while his eyes trailed all over my body. I squirmed in my seat, feeling hot under his burning gaze, and licked my lips. "Is it so?" I whispered,

The next couple of days were so much fun that I always showed up late for work. Theo was practically living in my apartment and most of the time we both forgot that he owned an apartment right across from mine. Not that I was complaining, I was loving every bit of being in a relationship with him.God, why didn't I do it sooner and kept thinking too much?"Ms Wilson? Are you here with us?" Dr Brew waved his hand in front of my face and I came back to the present where we were discussing a medical procedure for one of our patients. The hours at work were getting longer nowadays and we were given a pager kind of thing that beeps when we had a critical situation at hand.Life was good at work too. I was learning a lot of new things and Dr Brew and I had become such good friends after the fundraiser. He was so happy when he heard about me and Theo."I'm sorry, go ahead, Dr Brew," I replied, addressing
