Chapter 2: fell in love already
'Say something, come on Benjamin. You can't just sit there and stare at her.' I thought harshly to myself.
"Umm… Are you just going to sit there all day?" Said Eleanor, she told me her full name recently.
"N-no." I said rather quickly.
I got up when she did. I grabbed her slightly smaller hand in mine and led her to my parents domain in the house.
"Where are we going?" Nellie asked me when we reached a tall white door.
"Well, you have to meet my parents. They will be furious if they found I have brought a guest without acknowledging them." I explained as I knocked on their door.
"O-oh ok, well, I hope they won't be mad then." She replied quietly while looking up at my eyes.
I grunted slightly as the door opened. My mother was there and she took one glance at Eleanor and I and smiled warmly.
"Well, hello there. What brings you here children?" She asked trying not to sound awkward.
"Mother, I would like to introduce you to my new friend Eleanor." I said with a smile, while pushing Nellie forward to let my mother take a better look at her. I could tell Nellie was nervous by the way she was blushing furiously.
"Well, its nice to meet your dearie." My mother replied with a sweet tone.
"Its nice to meet you to Mrs. Barker." Nellie replied back with the blush still present on her cheeks. I had to say she looked quite adorable like that, I also felt something move in my stomach that felt unfamiliar.
Then my mother spoke again " Umm… Ben can I speak to you in private…with your father as well." She said in the same sweet voice again.
"O-ok" I replied back to her. Even though I was fifteen, I was still afraid of my mother and father when they would yell at me. I felt something was going to happen but I didn't know if it was going to be good or bad.
I entered the room, and before the door closed I gave a last glance at Nellie and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Well, would you like to explain why you brought a girl home with you Ben?" My mother began. "And why she was wearing the dress we bought for your cousin, Annie?" My mother finished, right when my father stepped into the room with his arms crossed.
"Well, you see I found her on the street and something inside me told me to help her… I don't know what but I brought her home anyway. I let her take a bath and gave her the dress so she could wear it." I said in a rushed voice, afraid of what they would do.
"You should of told us sooner." My father began in his booming voice. "And what next? You fall in love with this girl you found on the street?" He finished in a mocking tone.
"N-no. I will never fall for a street peasant." I replied back. I felt a twinge of guilt when I said this, she was probably listening on our conversation right now. Poor thing.
The last thing I thought before I left their room was ' But I already fell in love with her.'
