***I DO NOT OWN „THE ONE". THIS TITLE BELONGS TO NICKY LEE***

Swedish cold chapter 2

Enjoy : )

The person standing next to her wasn't Angus. It was Eros – Lele was sure about that. That look in his eyes, all his face expressions... Even despite his green eyes, she was sure it was him. "But what is he doing here...? And what's going on...?" many questions spread in her mind. She was freeze, only gazing at him. The Lanson senior saw that different situation, raising his eyebrow.

-Nice to meet you miss Lele, I'm Angus Lanson. I hope you're enjoying this party. – he said, bowing his head gentlemanly.

-Nice to meet you too mr. Angus. I'm a big fan of your talent in modeling. – she replied with a smile. Now she was sure that something was wrong here. Agus knew her. Even if he didn't care about the girls he meet, he would remembered her because of Eros.

-Angus, maybe you would show our guest the whole residence? – said Lanson senior. It wasn't the question. It was an order. She saw that change in his eyes. It was impossible for the others to noticed it, but she knows him to well. Lele decided to play for a some time in this game "not knowing each other". Maybe she would find out soon what was going on here.

-Shall we go ? – asked Eros.

-Yes, thank you very much. – Lele replied and they left the coffee room. All rooms were decorated in different style. Lele was shocked how rich the Lansons were. Moment before entered the big room she smelled some relaxing fragrance. Some flowers, sand, sea breeze... She stood suddenly couldn't believe her eyes. There was a mini forest of tropical trees and flowers. At the center was big pool with deckchairs and cocktail cabinet around it. The group of ladies were sitting at one of the tables chatting loudly. They became silent seeing her and Eros. The woman in black dress got up and went to them.

-Hello my sweet Angus -she said to Eros and kissed him – Were you missed me...? – Lele realized that the woman was much older than them. She almost could be their mother! But why he didn't reject her...?

-I have always miss you when you're not around... – he answered softly. Lele felt sharp pain in her chest. "Why...?" She knew very well that he never has any feelings for her, but still... looking at them was very painful. Of course she couldn't be compared with that aristocratic woman. And it increased her sadness. She couldn't stay any longer looking at them.

-Mr Angus, thank you very much for shoving me that beautiful villa. I don't want to interrupt the both of you. I'm honored that I was able to meet you. – Lele said trying look happy. She smiled and turned back to them. Lele almost run to the door, as fast as she could wearing high heels. At the end of the corridor was a terrace if she remembered correctly. "yes...I was right..." she thought seeing big doors with white curtains. The cold, fresh air set her mind at rest for a moment. Lele knew that there wasn't anything between her and Eros, but still that situation was painful. He was her first love. First real love. Until now she didn't realize how strong the feeling of love someone were. Lele took two deep breaths. She remembered old saying which she used when her friend had problems with boyfriend "There are many fish in the sea" How stupid it sounded... Lele smiled bitterly. She really didn't care that there were many other fishes – she wanted THAT fish...

Loud steps from the corridor disturbed her deep thoughts. She wanted to be alone now, but in the same time knows very well that acting like a baby only make everything worse. She took a deep breath again and turned to the doors. But until she took a step, she heard low, familiar voice.

-Angus, where is our guest? – it was Lanson senior's voice. Lele stood immediately. - I told you to take good care of her today...

-Yes, but didn't want my company anymore...

-I don't care. She have to be more than happy after this visit. She's our main star for company advertisement. Do what you have to do! Even if it means that you should take her to your bed! – Lele shuddered hearing that words. He can't be so ruthless... But what about... Eros ? Is he like that too...?

-Yes father, I understand. – Lele closed her eyes for a few seconds. "So it's like this..." it hurts... very... But still she have to act normal. When Lanson senior's steps sound disappeared, she decided to move. She came to the barrier and looked at the snow. It became a blizzard.

-Lele. – she shuddered hearing his voice.

-Oh, hello. I'm looking at the blizzard. – it was stupid, very stupid... but she couldn't find anything else now.

Eros entered the terrace and looked around carefully. Making sure that there were only the two of them, he came closer to Lele.

-Lele, stop acting. I know that you found long time ago that I'm not Angus.

-Yes. – she replied – but I didn't know what's happen here, so I decided to play in your game... – like always... even if she wanted to help, he was irritated at her.

-Nothing happen here. – said Eros, but it was obvious that it wasn't the truth. It hurts that he didn't trust her, but he was always like that. Only trusting himself, has always trying accomplished his goals without anyone's help. Almost like he hasn't seen others, living only for himself.

-Why are you lying to me, Eros...? – quiet question slipped from her mouth. She didn't have anything to loose. There were too much unspoken words, unclear situations and fake acting between them. She wanted to know the truth.

Eros shuddered hearing her words. He knew her for a long time, but now was something different in her.

-I'm not lying...

-You are. I know you Eros. Tell me what's happen, please... – She looked at his face. She realized form his expression, that he was confused. She decided to pushed him more.

-Am I.. such unworthy you trust...? – his barrier was breaking. For the first time.

-Lele, it's not lie this. Simply I don't need anyone care. I can handle my own problems. – Lele smiled bitterly hearing him. Maybe she should stopped this conversation, before she get hurt event more...? Lele smiled and turned back to him. She wasn't sure if she wanted to talk more. But this act, maybe a bit childish, elicited unexpected reaction from his side.

When he saw her bitter smile, he knew that she didn't believe him. But when she turned back, something broke in him. His own barrier from the other started disappear. Maybe because of all this what was happened for last half a year, or maybe because of... her? Eros tightened his fists. He couldn't take it anymore.

-It's not that simple as you think... – he said quietly. Lele turned to him immediately. – I had to...

-Oh, there you are! – they almost jumped hearing that voice. Lanson senior was staying at the door. Did he heard their conversation? – Miss Lele, I'm afraid you have to spending the night at our residence because of the weather. The blizzard is so strong, that it's too dangerous to travel. Most of guests are staying too. We have many rooms, so of course all of our guest has its own. For now, please enjoy your time. If anything, my son Angus is at for your disposal.

-Oh... thank you Mr Lanson – she replied, surprised of the situation. But fortunately, it seemed that he didn't heard their conversation. Lanson senior smiled, and came back to the house.

-Lele, as you saw, it's not the safe place to talk about all this.

-But... there should be some place when we can talk freely...?- Lele asked. She wanted to know everything. But more than that, she wanted to came back to their old life, before all this started. Maybe she could do something to accomplish that, knowing his situation...?

Eros was thinking for some time. There was one place, but is she agree? It would be a good cover... The Lanson senior would be thinking that Eros do what he was told, doesn't suspect anything.

-Lele, there is such place... Only one place where we wouldn't be watch, and nobody would suspected is my room.
