Elizabeth Adams had been dating Henry McCord for just over a month now, and although it had only been such a short period of time she had never been more happy and content in as long as she could remember. After the death of her parents, Elizabeth found it hard to open up to anybody, frequently hiding in her room to get away from all her troubles. Elizabeth had always been focused on her studies and was often referred to as a straight A student by all her teachers, because of this she had a dwindling social life and had very few friends and never had a boyfriend. She never thought she needed one she had the perfect family who were always there for her to support her through thick and thin. Until one day they weren't anymore, with her brother focusing on being a doctor, Elizabeth had never felt more alone. That was until she met Henry, her life from that day one had changed in every way imaginable for the better. Even having dated for a little over a month, Elizabeth found herself telling Henry everything, her deepest and darkest secrets which she had been bottling up all this time. All Henry did was sit and listen attentively offering her all the love, affection and comfort she had been missing all those years.
1 month before
The first time Henry McCord saw Elizabeth in the hallway of her dormitory, he fell in love immediately. he had just met up with a friend of his to finalise some work when they bumped into each other. Henry was just minding his own business making a mental note of this tutoring schedule for tomorrow when the most beautiful girl he had ever seen distracted him from this thoughts. Elizabeth was staggering down the hallway balancing text books in one hand and grocery bags in the other. it looked as though she was struggling but he wasn't sure whether it would be appropriate to help her, after all she had managed to make it up three flights of stairs on her own. It wasn't until her shopping bags split causing all her groceries to litter the hallway that he thought he should offer his help.
'Shit' Elizabeth silently mumbled to herself as she bent down to sort out her mess
'Here let me help' Henry rushed over as he bent down also to collect some items of the floor
'Thank-you' she smiled 'I don't know what I was thinking trying to carry so much'
Initially, Henry was a bit taken aback by her endearing smile 'Your Welcome, I'm Henry by the way' offering to shake her free hand.
'I'm Elizabeth' as they shook hands, locking eyes Henry couldn't help but notice the colour. Her piercing blue eyes, contrasted beautifully with her baby soft tanned olive skin and her illuminating blonde hair. After a good few seconds staring enamoured by each other Elizabeth broke the silence.
'I think we should probably get this stuff out of the hallway before anyone comes' she giggled. And there it was again that beautiful smile.
Utterly starstruck all Henry could do was smile back. They made the short walk to Elizabeth's dorm together making small talk as they went
'So what are studying here' Henry asked intrigued by the gorgeous woman walking next to him
'Geological and Political Science Relations, it challenging but so rewarding, What about you' equally interested by this handsome man
'Wow! So you planning on becoming the next president or something? He said with a smile 'I'm actually no longer a student, I graduated last year, I'm planning on going into the marines soon so I'm just doing some tutoring until then'
Upon reaching Elizabeth's dorm, Henry took some books out of her hands to free her up to open the door. Elizabeth's dorm was just how he pictured, relatively small but clean and cosy. One thing he did notice however was there didn't appear to be any pictures of her family. He placed her groceries on the counter and turned back around to say goodbye to Elizabeth. To be honest he felt a little awkward being on this woman's apartment he had only met minutes before. He swore he was getting feelings for her. He didn't know anything about her, was she in a relationship? Is she single?
After leaving her apartment, he couldn't help but have mixed emotions, he was falling hard and fast for this girl and yet he would probably never see her again, after all it is a big campus.
