CHAPTER FOUR- The Date

Things had not gone the way Steffy had hoped. Bill was not pleased when she ended not only the engagement, but the relationship as well. When it was all said and done she would not marry any man she did not truly love.

She picked up her phone thinking about calling Liam, but dialed a different number instead.

"I ended it with Bill," Steffy said on the phone with Carter.

"Okay. Hello to you too, Steffy. So no need to file the paperwork?" He breathes.

"No. And turns out Thomas isn't in New York. He is in Paris with Caroline and Douglas. He offered to let me crash at his apartment, but part of me wants to stay here," she whispers.

"What if I took you out again? Almost like a date. Help get your mind of Liam," he says happy that she isn't leaving after all.

He can't help but enjoy her company. Even if her heart was somewhere else.

"I would not mine seeing that new remake of Overboard. Some light comedy might help me relax," she says excited at the idea of seeing him.

"So should I come to the Cliff house around four o'clock?" he says softly.

"Better make it four thirty. Will take me a few hours to get ready," she says wondering what she will wear.

"I don't mind to wait Steffy," he said hanging up the phone.

Looking in her closet she worried what in the world what she would wear. She had not been on actual date in years. Would someone like Carter actually want her? Could she actually let go of Liam? And would Bill try to ruin her new friendship with Carter? One step at a time, she tells herself.
