When I First Meet You
The blazing sun beams through the glass doors from the balcony, where the tiny oasis has settled. It was windy and cool, just the right temperature for the coming summer. After spending the day reading her textbook and reviewing for her college application, Elenor had lost track of time. It's the middle of May, and summer is approaching; in a few weeks, Young Miss Elenor will officially graduate from high school.
A new adventure awaits her in college, and she can't wait to graduate. Despite her bravado, she is meticulous at her favorite place—school. She could spend weeks rummaging through her textbook without being bothered. In the end, her brain had drained enough for her to knock out. As she jumps, she drags her body all the way to the bed, lying flat and comfortable on her back, soothing her consciousness.
"That was exhausting, I should take a bath" she mumbles to herself, stretching her arms all the way up as if releasing her tardiness, gradually she rested her eyes almost losing her conscious "What do I do after?..." A moment's silence brimming the room, her head were in haze, God knows how much she drain her brain out.
A minute after she remembered whatever she needed to remember "fuck" she curses, without wasting any more time she rose on bed, running as swiftly as she could to her cozy bathroom as she started stripping. Still, she finds time to thoroughly search herself in the mirror, where every part of her is reflected. Her petite bare peak completely exposed "I look skinny" once she's finally satiated mesmerizing her figure. Elenor enters the tub brimming with steaming water as she lavishes herself in.
As she plunged her figure, her head glanced to the ceiling, thinking for some time about what a relationship is. A word she definitely knows yet at the same time she doesn't. Relationship maybe defines in various way like her and Matthew. However, what about romantically?
Growing up Elenor only has Matthew as the man of her life and they never had a good relationship, romance had never appeared in her 18th years of existing—at the very least 18th and a half of her existence. She is not an expert on love; despite her being obsess of being a book smarts, never in her life she experienced romanticism before, yet she declares that she found the love of her life—her first experience of love.
Being in love is normal for Elenor's age, after all, she is eighteen, and teenagers her age have begun dating and doing more teenage things. She is well aware of this, even Ashtrid started dating at the age of sixteen.
What is worse than falling in love at first sight? Falling head over heels for a stranger regardless of her friend's nonstop reminders not to love just anyone. Who would have guessed she'd fall in love the moment she laid eyes on him?
"Sebastian, what exactly is love to you?"
"Have you ever been in love? How did you feel about them?" her voice was wobbly, the feelings she had for him had collided with the water, she couldn't resist but admit to herself that she'd picture him falling in love with someone a dozen times, and everything had always been wonderful and flawless. Whenever Elenor tries to envision them being in love and affectionate it was cozy and nice, but there are always anguish. Even in her daydream, Elenor and Sebastian seemed impossible.
Elenor couldn't help but close her eyes in desperation, praying for a glimpse of a happy picture with him, gradually burying herself under water as she recalls the first time she and her so-called first love met.
*When I first Meet You* (three months ago)
She rushed in her car shortly after her classes, tossed her luggage in the back seat, and dialed her father's number—which she stole from one of his secretaries—Before going wild on the street, wanting to spend some time together since they weren't able to celebrate her birthday a few days ago due to Mattew's packed schedule.
Regardless, his secretary explained to her that, the young miss never, not once believed it. She is fully aware of her father's refusal to spending time with her, and he makes no effort to hide the truth. They'd never celebrated together, and she figured since she'd be leaving for college soon, she should at least spend a moment with him.
This will be her first meeting with her beloved father after many years of never returning and keeping himself away from home—from Elenor.
While she waited for him to return her call, she put on some color on her lips and cheeks. Elenor's well conscious of her charm, which is why she avoids putting too much makeup on her face, she prefers how she looks without them. After lavishing herself, Matthew seems to be too preoccupied to notice his only child calling him.
On her way to the firm, she decided to swing by an espresso bar where she and Ashtrid frequently spend their days doing homework and getting stressed out. The young miss was generous enough to buy espresso for everyone at the office as well as her father.
Elenor arrived at the lobby after a quick drive, where she waited for someone to lend her a hand in getting the coffee all the way up, "Good evening young miss" two young women called out for her, and they lower their head to greet the heiress of the Eaves, "Good evening, help me with the coffee."
Her gaze meanders around the place, astounded by how exquisite it is. Regardless of her regularly keeping in check the Eaves Real Estate; this is her first visit to the Firm.
Despite their hectic schedules, everyone greeted her as soon as the elevator doors opened—It seems that people recognize her "Continue what you're doing" she said, almost giving the other lawyers and workers a heart attack.
When did the young miss this kind? Rumors circulated from the employee of Eaves Real Estate how much of a mean girl the young miss is yet here she is with an espresso for them.
"Give them the coffee" she whispered to Miss Aera. The secretary Matthew always sent to her precious daughter in order to keep her away from him. She is also the one currently handling the affairs in the Real Estate while the heiress is on training.
Miss Aera was holding a few of the coffee then grabbed the remaining cup from the young miss as she continued giving out "Aera, is my father in his office?" she asked, watching how occupied everybody was and pondering whether her presence was bothering them.
"Yes, he still has his client inside, but I think they'll be out soon, they've been talking for a while now."
Elenor shrugged as she made her way into the waiting area Miss Aera showed her and as soon as she got her ass on the room, she made herself completely at home, browsing through her phone to find something captivating to read.
While exploring and scrolling down she came across something that brightened her mood, news that made her break into laughter, "What's going on... Harris Zay scandal?" she wondered as she read the article word for word.
