Chapter 44
“So you coming and going with Blake Cooper is just carpooling?” I choked on the sandwich I was eating and started to cough. Seth quickly came around and handed me the glass of water I had on my table and tapped my back.
“What?!” I asked once I could breathe again.
“Really? Do you think no one has noticed? You guys come together every morning and then you leave together. The other night, you guys were at Big Burgers having dinner straight after work. I know because I was there.” Seth sat back down and looked at me with a
smirk.
I got up and closed my office door. “Who all have noticed this exactly?!” I asked leaning against my door.

“Well, I know Lilly knows something. She was just out there talking to Mona about that plate of food your eating. So what’s going on? You two seeing each other?” He asked and his voice made me feel like he didn’t approve.
“No no! It’s not like that.” I sat back down and picked up my phone again.
We need to talk NOW! I texted Blake.
“We live in the same building. So yes we carpool that’s why we come and go together and sometimes my flatmate works late and Blake’s alone so we just stop and get dinner. It’s nothing romantic.” Who was I trying to convince? Seth or myself? Seth nodded like yes I’m listening but I don’t believe you
There was a knock on my door.
“Come in,” I said, my voice was shaky.
“Rosy, you busy?” Blake walked in.
“Talk of the devil,” Seth said and got up to shake hands with Blake.
“I.. ugh.. we were just having a chat about the Gala. You need something?” I asked trying to hide the fact that I texted him.
“Oh, I just needed some reports but I can come back. It’s not urgent.” He replied looking between Seth and me.
“Oh, I’m gonna go. I just came to ask Rosy if she had a date to the Charity Gala” Seth said and that mischief smirk on his face made me
uneasy.
“I’m supposed to have a date?” I asked.
“Umm yes. So you don’t have a date?” I shook my head. I hadn’t even thought about it.

:
“Would you like to go with me?” He asked and my heart dropped. What was he doing?
I looked at Blake and he had an annoyed look on his face.
“I umm… I don’t know if that’s a good idea Seth”
“Oh come on. I’ll be back in Huntly in a week. I’m not asking you to marry me, it’s just a date” he replied.
What is with that word ?! Marry?! Seriously people needed to stop using it!

I looked up at Blake again and he was looking down at his fingers.
“Okay well this is awkward so I’m gonna go now” he gave a nervous laugh and walked to the door. He stopped and turned to me “Call
me when you’re done. We can have a chat” he said and walked out of my office.
I sighed “Seth what are you doing?! You’re gay!”
He laughed “oh I know that and you know that but Blake doesn’t. I was just trying to get a reaction out of him”
“Well don’t do that! There’s nothing there. Now get out of my office: You’ve given me a headache” I sat back down and opened my
drawers looking for painkillers.
Seth laughed and walked out. I sighed and cradled my head in my hands. What was I going to do?!
