Hey everybody! I know it's been awhile! I meant to update just a couple days after I poste chapter one, but I didn't feel like the story was right. But oh well I'm just going to continue for awhile. Well here is Chapter Two! Oh also if anyone wouldn't mind trying to request to have a category for Monte Carlo. I've requested it about three times and nothing has happened. So anyone else mind giving it a try? heehee! Well here it is! Chapter Two!
I widened my eyes making sure I was seeing correctly. "The-Theo?"
He smiled at me with that drop-dead smile. He said "hello" in that sweet French treble voice of his. Shocked. That was all I was... No wait actually not just shocked but...What's the word? Giddy? Sure let's go with that.
"Umm...W-What are you doing here?" I stuttered out, with a hint of an English accent. He gave me a curious look. I mentally slapped myself in the head. Why on Earth did I do that? That was the past. Think of present...PRESENT.
"What are you doing here?" I said in my normal-ish voice. He smiled with a cute chuckle.
"I am here to drink some coffee." He paused, " And to find someone here in New York, but it appears she found me first."
"You're here for me?" He nodded.
"Why not we go outside and take a walk?" He helped me grab all my stuff together and in front of the coffee shop was a limo.
"I don't think we can take a walk if there's a limo," I joked at him. He laughed at my comment. Theo told the driver to head to the hotel and bring his stuff there. He took my bag and carried it for me, which of course I blushed at.
So we started heading towards the park that was across the street. "So how are your classes going?" I told him they were going great, but difficult. I told him all about my teachers, classes, Layla, and the usual campus life. I dragged on for about 20 minutes, while he was making side comments, but I could tell he was listening since he kept looking at me the whole time I blabbered. Which is also of course sweet of him. "Oh enough about me, how about you?" He told me everything was fine. They were doing a lot more charities and more schools being built. He talked about expanding the company into something bigger, but he hasn't told his father the idea yet.
"The children are the best part though." I could tell by the sound of his voice he meant it. I kicked a pebble in the middle of our pathway, watching it skid along the walkway. "So what are you really doing here?" He asked if we could could sit down, so we sat to the closet bench. He gently took my hand, fingering my knuckes like it was a toy. " I here because of you. Because of us. I want there to be an us. I at least want to try." I slowly melted into his sweet brown eyes.
Of course I wanted to be with him, but could it work? Long distance relationships don't always work, right? But he said he's going to try to expand the company here. I could see him. Possibly. "Grace?" I gave him a quizzical look. "Umm what do you say?" From the look in his eyes I could tell he really want this, that he really meant it. With all the stuff at Monte Carlo he didn't care, I didn't care. All of it now is the present and hopefuly future. "Look I understand if-"
"Yes," I said, " I want to give us a try." He brightly smiled as if he was an angel. He happily gave me a sweet kiss on my cheek and I gladly accepted it. We sat for awhile on the bench talking watching the sunset. Once it had gotten darker we starte heading back to my dorm. "So how are your friends, Emma and Meg?" I told him that Emma was getting married in the Spring and Meg got back from her trip with Riley. "Do you miss them?"
"I do, but I'll see them again soon. When I left Texas I thought I would never see them again. But we call each other a lot so everything is okay." I saw him have a guily look on his face and asked him what's wrong. "I just feel so bad. I never called you evre since Romania. I was just so busy and-"
"It's okay Theo, I understand. Besides I'm sometimes busy myself. Plus you're here now and that's all that matters." He smiled at me and kissed me on the top of my head. We got to the hall that my dorm was in and you could hear Layla and her friends laughing. "Grace before your classes would you like to, what you say, 'Grab a bite'?" I lightly laughed at his effort to talk like an American. "Sure that would be great. I'll see you in the morning." I turned around about to open my door, leaving him in the hall.
"Grace?" I turned around. "You forgot something." What did I forget? I got my bag, notebook, and jacket. What did I forget? He walked up closer to me. I could smell his scent of warm chocolate and coffee. I barely felt his soft warm breath on my face. I slightly froze my hand holding against the door handle. Was he going to-? Then his soft lips met mine. I kissed him back taking my hand behind his neck pulling him closer. It wasn't a fierce or hungry kiss, it was just a sweet good-night kiss. He pulled away smiling. "Bon nuit mon cherie." He then slowly walked away. I walked into the dorm looking all dreamy with a huge smile on my face, my stomach flipping over and over in joy. Layla and her girls saw me and asked me what happened. Just shrugging them off I went to my room, finished my paper, and happily went to sleep.
Excited for the morning I woke up 10 minutes earlier than usual. 10 minutes is worth a lot in my time. I picked out of my my cutest but simple outfit. I wore a light blue top, a purple and yellow scarf, dark skinny jeans, and yellow flats. I quickly applied some make-up. Nothing to heavy just eyeliner, mascara, and some light purple eyeshadow. Perfect. I was happy with my outfit and waited for Theo. Hearing a knock on the door I jolted to the door greeting my European beau. "You look good this morning," he commented.
"Well I had a good night."
"I wonder why perhaps?" Giggling he gave me a quick kiss. "Ready?" I gave him a quick nod grabbed my bag and books by the door and left hand-in-hand with the Frenchman.
