I push myself against the door to the apartment and slump to the ground crying. Why does Riley have to come back right now and try to win me back? And Spence, I can't believe he just saw us kissing. How am I going to tell him that Riley is actually my ex? He won't want to take me on a date when he realizes that I just lied to him.

My phone begins to ring and I look at the caller id. "Who's calling me? I don't know this number," I say as I look at the random number on my phone screen.

"Hello Evelyn speaking," I say as I answer the phone.

"Is it later yet?"

I smile as I hear that oddly familiar British accent on the other end of the phone. "Spence, is that you?"

"Of course it's me Evie. Who else would be calling you right now? Did you think it was that old school chum calling you?" responds Spence.

"No, I didn't think it was Riley. You know he does have a name right? Why are you calling me right now?" I question as I wipe the tears off my cheeks.

"You said talk later and I thought I would call to see if you are free for tea tomorrow night?"

"You want to have to tea at night?" I question.

"No you doofer. I'm asking you out for what you Americans call dinner? So want to go for dinner with me Evie?" asks Spence.

I blush and respond, "Oh I get it now. Sure I should be free for dinner. What time are you picking me up?"

"Ace! I will pick you up around 7!"

I get myself off the ground and respond, "I can't wait for our first date."

"Who said it's our first date? Wasn't tonight at the bar our first date?" he teases me.

I laugh, "That was not a first date tonight. I don't kiss on the first date."

I hear him chuckle on the other end of the phone, "I beg to differ. Tonight was definitely our first date."

"We will have to see about that, won't we? Want to know something Spence?"

"I want to know everything that your pretty little head is thinking about Evie."

I smile and my heart flutters, "I never thought today would end with me on the phone to a guy that I can see myself falling for."

"I can say the same thing right now, Evie. I didn't think that I would meet the girl of my dreams at a photo shoot."

"I don't believe that at all. I can't be the girl of your dreams!"

"You might not believe me now, but you will in time Evie. You will come to see that you are the only girl for me. You are so pretty, so smart and so sassy."

I giggle and as I go to respond I hear the front door unlock. In comes Mandy yelling, "Evelyn look who I find downstairs!"

I turn my head to see Riley coming in behind Mandy. "Riley, what are you doing up here?"

"Riley? What's he doing there? Evie?" I hear Spence on the other end of the phone.

"Evie, we didn't finish our conversation downstairs after we got interrupted by that British guy. I need to know how you feel about us?" asks Riley as he stands at my door way.

"Spence, I got to go. I will talk to you tomorrow. I need to deal with something right now," as I hang up on him before he can respond back to me.

"Can I come in Evie?" asks Riley with his puppy dog eyes on.

Mandy looks at me and mouths the word, "Sorry."

I smile as if to say it's okay. "I guess you can come inside but I don't really know what there is to say right now," I respond to Riley as I gesture for him to come in.

"You can tell me that you want us to try again? That you still love me?" he asks as he grabs hold of my hands.

"Riley, you hurt me so much. You cheated on me! And lied to me about it for months! Why would I ever want to try again with you?" as I pull my hands away from him.

"Because it was all a mistake. I wasn't happy then! You were always busy with college! And never had any time for us," as he tries to grab my hands again.

I turn my back from him so he doesn't see the tears begin to well up in my eyes again, "You can't blame me for what you did! You can't blame the fact that I was getting my life together to be able to have a good paying job one day. You can't tell me that you weren't happy in the relationship."

"Fine, it was all me. I will take all the blame. I am so sorry for hurting you. Let me prove to you that I have changed. That I am a changed man! That you are the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with," he replies as he turns me around to face him.

With tears streaming down my face I reply, "If only you had said them three words, eight letters months ago and I would have been yours forever. But you are too late Riley! I am seeing someone else."

"Who? Don't tell me that British guy?" he recants.

I nod, "His name is Spencer and yes, we have just started seeing each other."

"That doesn't mean anything. You can still come back to me," he retorts.

I shake my head, "No Riley, I can't come back to you because I want to see what happens with Spence. I think you should leave now."

"I will leave now. But mark my words, I will win you back Evie. I'm not giving up on us," as he begins to walk away.

I slump to the ground in tears and feel Mandy come to hug me.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought him upstairs. I thought you would want to know that he still loves you," Mandy says.

I cry, "I still love him Mandy. But I can't bring myself to take him back when I can see myself seeing Spence."
