Chapter 7 - The Kiss

Chapter 7 - The Kiss

 TORI's POV

He took me to a restaurant in the Meatpacking district. I've never been here before considering my long residence in the big apple. Zach sure knew how to impress a girl, I give him that. Knowing he dated lots of girl, he sure knew the tricks.

The waitress started flirting with him before we've even been seated. Zach, on the other hand, was busy ordering. He sure knew the food here. I wondered if he had any idea that the waitress was flirting with him.

After he completed the orders, the waitress winked at him, but gave me a head-to-toe look. I then smiled in amusement.

"What's so funny this time?" Zach questioned.

"Nothing. I find it very funny." I answered straight away. He raised his brow at me, clearly wasn't satisfied with my answer. "I just find it hilarious that the waitress was hitting on you and you acted as if it was nothing. She even winked at you. If that is not funny enough, I don't know what is."

He looked surprised. "You're not bothered by it?"

"No. Vastly entertained? Yes."

He laughed. "You're unbelievable, Tori. Most girls hate it when Natalie does that." So the waitress has a name. I shrugged.

If this was another ploy to make me jealous, he was failing big time. "It's fine. I don't see any reason to act hysterical over that. After all, I'm the one seated across from you." I said, beaming.

"You're quite interesting, Tori. I'm not usually wrong. I guess dating you won't be one of those decisions I'll end up regretting," he said, grinning. My heart started to beat furiously. I looked away, feeling flushed. I wondered why I kept on having this feeling every time he says nice words to me. I didn't even like him. "Are you embarrassed?" he teased.

"Of course not!" I retorted. I forced myself to look at him but failed.

"Zach? It's you! You're still handsome as always." Just then, we heard someone call Zach's name. I looked up to see a very pretty girl standing beside him. She was tall and blonde and had the body of a supermodel. Was she one of Zach's ex-girlfriends? If she was, he was a fool to have played with this girl's heart. She was gorgeous!

"Stella? What are you doing here?" Zach asked, surprised.

"I was having lunch at that table, alone, care to join me? We have lots of catching up to do." She said excitedly, beaming at him. Great. Who would say no to that? Guess I'd have to eat here all by myself.

"Sorry, Stella. Maybe next time."

Wait, what?

That totally caught me off guard. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that response from him. Did he just turn her offer down? Shocking! "I'm here with my girl. By the way this is my girlfriend, Victoria Peige." He added.

I figured that was the first time Stella even realized I was there.

"You have a new girlfriend?" Stella asked rudely. "You've never introduced a girl before as your girlfriend." She stared at me while her right brow raised.

Okay. What was that all about?

"Hi," I greeted with a smile. She looked away and turned her attention back to Zach.

"Just promise me you'll call me soon, okay?" She leaned closer and gave him a peck on the cheek. She turned to me and nodded almost imperceptibly in my direction.

"Bye," I said with a weak smile.

"Seriously? After all that, you're still smiling?" Zach asked, sounding a bit annoyed.
