Elizabeth:

I was so not in a good mood. After the photo shoot, Conner and I planned to go on a celebratory dinner. But right before we left Melissa got SO hungry. Now here she was tagging along. Perfectly happy as the annoying third wheel.

"I think I looked horrible in that bathing suit." Melissa pouted.

Conner smiled reassuringly. "Trust me, you looked really hot." I cleared my throat and looked straight at Conner. "Oh, you looked incredible Liz." I smiled. Good he finally noticed I was there.

"So do you really think I looked hot?" Melissa asked in a sugar sweet voice. It was enough to make me gag.

Conner patted her shoulder. "You really did." I rolled my eyes. I could not handle much more of this crap. It was so obvious they were flirting and he was MY boyfriend. Later I would ring his neck. I was just about too ripe my hair out when some guy called my name. It was Brian from the photo shoot.

"Elizabeth!" he called breathlessly. "Roger needs you. Something's wrong with the photos!" he started to drag me away. Conner grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"Elizabeth doesn't want to go." He said threateningly. I kissed Conner on the cheek.

"Its okay, I'll go, I want to be published."

Conner's eyes softened. He hugged me. "Hurry back. I already miss you."

I laughed. "What are you, a Hall Mark card?" he chuckled and Brian and I rushed away.

Brain and I stopped running at a Mexican Restaurant.

"Roger sure likes to eat fancy." I giggled. Brian blushed.

"Actually." He admitted. "I lied. When I saw you I kinda fell for you and well..."

"Is this a date?" I asked accusingly. Brian traced the pattern on the ground with his shoe.

"Yes. If you want it to be?" He mumbled, staring at the floor. I was about to turn him down. After all I had Conner. Or did I? Suddenly I remembered him flirting with Melissa right in front of me. Him staring at her the whole photo shoot. I felt a need to get back at him. I knew I was being immature but I always brought heart over mind.

"Okay." I told Brian. His whole face lit up as he reserved us seats.

"I promise you won't regret it." He said sincerely. I smiled weekly. I already did.
