Edward glance at silence lily and that moment she also glance up and their eyes locked .
"Hey,young man don't interfere with my business "the man said suddenly caused Edward to withdraw his gaze from lily and turn it at him
"Did you know who my father is..huh"he said in with pride
"Scram!"Edward chillingly raised his voice at the man ,
The man flinched at his tone, the man was frightened and quickly run away while swearing
After the space got silence Edward then glance at the dazed Ashley and clear his throat
"Are you alright ?"he asked as he moved closer to them
Ashley was the first to nod her head in an answer and smiled at him only to see him glancing at lily and seem to understood something
They knew each other!
"Hi"he smile as he pulled a chair near lily
"Hi,my name is Ashley "Ashley introduced herself happily to Edward
"Nice to meet you, Ms Ashley"he replied while keeping his gaze on lily
"I will excuse myself first "Ashley smile in understanding
"You don't have to, and where are you going without me?"She raised her eyebrow at her
"Umm..I thought you guys needs some space right ?" Ashley sincerely
As they were saying Ashley phone buzz and she pick it up
"Hi ...oh am on my way "she said goodbye and lily could only let her go
"Lily "Edward called her in a allure voice
Lily feel tingling on her skin and pretend to relax and glance at him lightly.
"Why are you here"she speak out her thought and out of character
"Am here with friends and i fortunately meet you here"he replied readily
"Oh.."
"Champagne please "he ordered from the bartender
"Grandpa says you will be joining us for our family reunion dinner on Sunday ,hope you will be there "he said a little expectant
"Yes, I may"she replied
It was then Edward noticed the little different changes from lily
Edward looked in to her eyes and was lost in them,her eye seem a little different too .
They were more calm and carefree and her tone was more gentler,couldn't help but look in her eyes more
Lily felt a little uncomfortable under his deep stare and chose to break the silence
"Uh..I will be leaving "she stutter as she stand a little shakily and almost lose her balance
'I seem to drink a bit too much 'she thought
"I will drive you"he said as he quickly stood up and caught her into his arms
Lily was a little embarrassed for losing her composure but she also love his warm embrace and reluctant to let go .
They make their way out of the restaurant
Edward text his friends ,though they were surprised and teased him of carrying a lady
Soon they are in the car and lily could only let him drive her home after his nagging about her being drunk .
As they reached lily apartment she press the security code and unlock her entrance door
"Am alright now, thanks you can leave i can take care of myself"she said while offing her shoes
Edward was speechless
"Are you not going to invite me in and even offer me a refreshments"he comment shamelessly, and it was lily turn to feel embarrassed and speechless at his straightforwardness ,but respond righteously
"It night already, so I thought it will be better if you set back earlier,afterall you just spent more than one hour of your time give me a lift ,am I right Mr Lewis? "
Edward got annoyed with the way she always draws a line between them
He moved closer to her and locked his gaze with hers while moving close to her till her back hit the flat wall
"Edward or anything you like to call me not just this 'Mr Lewis or Mr Edward 'next time when you call me that I will do you won't expect "he drawled while staring at her intensely
Lily got a little curious about he will do to her unexpectedly so she asked in a very quiet and in an intoxicated voice which was from the drinks earlier
"What will you do to me "
Edward was even hard time to grasp and when he did understand
he was surprised by response but answer truthfully
"You want to know huh..I will kiss you "he whisper in to her ear while bitten it her earlobe lightly and lily was stunned
