Left At The Altar Again

Chapter 3

"Thank you" he handed me my phone and was looking at me. "Um do you want to come in" I asked. He nodded and I moved so he could get through.

"Nice place" he muttered.

"Thanks, It's little but its home" I grabbed a bottle of wine and opened it. I poured myself a glass and Hayden one too.

"Thanks, so tell me a bit about yourself, I want to get to know my new PA" he smiled at me and his dimples showed, I was a sucker for them.

"Well I am 27 soon and I love cooking. There isn't much to know really. What about you?"

"Well I'm almost 30, I love my job and my parents, my brother. We have been trained since a young age to work so that's pretty much all I know. When is your Birthday?" he smiled at me. "Do you have a boyfriend" his question caught me off guard.

"In two day's and no" I was messing with the ring on my finger; my mom gave it to me as a present for when I left.

"Sorry that was a bit too personal, are you alright" he lifted my chin and I nodded.

"What about you?" I asked quietly.

"Nope no girlfriend's yet, I did a couple years ago but she cheated and I haven't really had the time for girlfriend's to be honest" "How about I take you out for dinner on your birthday my treat as my new PA" I smiled and nodded.

"I don't know why I am about to tell you this but here we go, I was engaged and on my wedding day he left me at the alter without an answer. That was three years ago and I haven't let many people in because I am too scared they're going to leave me again. I moved to here and haven't seen him since." He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Why would anyone leave such a beautiful person, your pretty and it's his loss" we just spent ages talking and I really opened up to him that night.

I woke up the next morning with my head on Hayden's chest and his arms around my waist" I groaned and got up. We were curled up on the sofa; we probably fell asleep like this last night. His mouth was slightly open and his big pink lips were parted. He looked adorable. I got out of his grasp and went to my room I had a shower and when I got downstairs' Hayden was gone. I looked around and he wasn't there. There was a small note on the fridge.

Morning Lexi,

I have had to go to a meeting I was already late, last night was fun I enjoyed our conversation. Anyway I will pick you up at 7 on your birthday. See you then.

Hayden xoxo

I smiled at the note and made breakfast, Bell walked in still in last night’s dress.

"Hi" she groaned holding her head.

"Hangover, I'm guessing" she nodded and went to her room. I followed her up and she told me about last night.

"He was so sweet, I really like him but it's unprofessional"

"So, if he likes you he's not going to say anything" she was really excited to work for Brody and I was for Hayden.

We went to work and packed up our stuff, tomorrow was my birthday and I told Bell that I was doing to dinner with Hayden.

We spent the whole day just chatting and saying bye to all of our fellow worker's. The next morning my phone was bombarded with texts from my family back home. I called home and they all wished me a happy birthday. Bell made breakfast and put a candle in a pancake with whipped cream and called it a birthday cake. I thanked her and hugged her, I don't know where I would be without her.

The day passed and it was 4 I started getting ready for my dinner with Hayden, I decided to wear a dress that came just above my knee and had a long back and it was flowy. I jazzed it up with some jewellery and put on my shoes. My hair was wavy and I had only a little bit of make-up on.

The doorbell rang and I came downstairs.

"If you hurt her I will make sure you can never have children" Bell threatened I looked at her, "What your dad isn't here so someone had to do it" she smiled and walked off.

"You look beautiful. Happy Birthday" Hayden smiled he kissed my cheek and handed me some roses, they were pink and red.

"Thank you" I popped them in the kitchen and told Bell I was going.

"You ready" I nodded and he took my arm.

"Where are we going" I asked.

"It's a surprise" he smirked. We pulled up to a fancy restaurant. Hayden opened my door and the flashes were blinding me. He wrapped his hand around my waist and we went in.

"You handled that well"

"Yeah, Jack always used to have pap's follow him. You get used to it I suppose" I smiled and our waiter took us to our table. It was in a private room.

We ordered our food and ate whilst making small talk, I got to know him and he wasn't that bad after all.
