So, to clear something up, this is in 1912, not the present time Oh my god, guys… So many reviews over 2 chapters! Thank you!
This makes me feel so loved, and call me a sap, but I cried at how many I have over only this much of a story.
This chapter is pretty good I think… But, that's my opinion… See for yourself ;)
When I woke up the next morning, it was from a humming Andrew.
How did he get in my room? Maybe the maid had let him in.
"Good morning, baby, I've got a surprise for you." He said staring at me.
I stood up and sat down in the chair he was pointing to and he came behind me.
"I was going to give you this as a wedding gift, but instead, I decided now was a good time." he said smugly.
Suddenly, he opened a small little box, in it I saw the hugest blue diamond necklace I have ever seen.
"Is that-" I began to say and was cut off quickly.
"A diamond? Yes, it is 56 karats. It's very rare and is called-" This time I cut him off.
"Heart of the Ocean..." I spoke silently, staring at it as he put it around my neck. It was gorgeous.
"Ha, well yes, but I must go darling, I have to meet up with someone." he said quickly.
I nodded my head as he hurried off. As soon as he left, I took the necklace off, and put a yellow dress on.
I left, hoping to find Eli, and was lucky when I did.
"Hello Elijah." I smiled at him.
"Its Eli, Remember?" he said annoyingly.
"Of course, well I just want to thank you again for what you did yesterday. Not just for saving me but for caring."
"It was no problem." he said standing up to walk around the boat with me.
"I know what you must be thinking, 'Poor little rich girl, what does she know about misery?" I laughed bitterly at myself and turned to look at him.
He shook his head and spoke, "That's not what I was thinking at all. What I was thinking was, 'What could have happened to this girl to make her believe their was no way out." he said pointedly.
I stopped walking and turned to him, hand extended and showing off my engagement ring.
"Whoa! Look at the size of that thing! You would have gone straight to the bottom." he chuckled.
"500 invitations, all of Philadelphia's Society will be their. I have no say in this once so ever. And while I am around everyone, I feel as if I'm screaming my head off and all the time nobody can hear me!" I sighed.
"Do you love him?" he asked.
That was none of his business, and was insulted that he would ask such a thing. But most of all, I was afraid to answer that truthfully. Because I didn't love him. Not at all.
"W-what?" I stuttered.
"I asked do you love him?" he repeated.
"That is none of your business! I don't know you, you don't know m-" I was cut off for the second time in the past hour.
"It's a simple question." He said with an amused look on his face.
"We are NOT having this conversation." I stated. I grabbed his hand and shook it hard. "I have come here to thank you and I did. So I will leave now. Your nothing but a lonely, greedy, know it all and-"
"And you've insulted me." he said, now dominating my hand by shaking it harder. I could tell he found my confusion amusing… This only made me madder.
"Well my apologies." I spoke unsincerely.
Time had passed by and we were still shaking hands.
"And I thought you were leaving." he nodded at me to leave.
"Oh trust me, I am! Goodbye mister Goldsworthy." I began to walk off, but then turned around and faced him. "God, you are so annoying!" I said aggravated.
"Bye!" he said showing me away from him. I started to walk again, and turned around, yet again…
"Wait- I don't have to leave," I walked up to him and jabbed him with my index finger on his chest, "You leave!" I pointed off in a different direction.
"Now who's being a lonely, greedy, know it all?" he argued getting beneath my skin.
I growled under my breathe and grabbed the small drawling book in his hands.
"What is this anyways," I opened it and started walking to a bench near me with him falling behind me. "What are you, some kind of artist?" I flipped through the pages. "These are... Rather good."
I was looking at a picture of a father and his daughter, looking off in the distance. Every detail was their. The daughter had curly hair, and a happy little smile planter on her lips.
I flipped the page and gasped at what I saw. On this page was a naked girl, with dark hair and very structured cheek bones. I couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy.
"Well, well, well Eli..." I flipped the page again and found anther naked picture of the girl standing up this time against a wall.
"That's one of the good thing about Paris; always girls willing to take their clothes off." he laughed.
"You really get around for a p-" I cut myself off from saying that word. "For a person with um..."
He smirked, "You can say it. A poor person." He finished for me and I blushed. I then flipped the page again and frowned.
"You like this girl. You used her many times." I spoke more to myself than to him, staring at another picture, it being drawn just of her breast. "I think you might have had a love affair with her."
He laughed nervously, "No. Just her hands. Look," he pointed at a picture of her hands on the next page, "they were beautiful."
"Was that the only thing you saw about this girl?" I asked curiously.
"No. I saw a lot of things. I always see different things about different people. Like you." he said, staring at my eyes now.
I smiled smugly, thinking that was a compliment, and asked, "What do you see in me, Eli?"
"I saw that you weren't going to jump." he said lightly.
Then, my smile dropped.
Suddenly, before I could make a rude comment, my mother came along to us with her friends- and Molly.
The reason I do not include her as a friend is because she just simply isn't. My mother can not stand her, probably because she is so straight forward. But I thought she was interesting and very sweet.
"Clare, darling, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for dinner?" She asked confused. She stared at Eli then back at me, giving a displeased look.
"Yes mother. Will you help me pick something out?" I asked smiling that everyday fake smile.
She nodded and interlaced our arms.
"Goodbye Eli, I will see you tonight for dinner." I waved.
He waved back as my mothers' friend pounded him with questions as we walked away.
Most of the people who met Eli were grateful and curious about the man who had saved my life. But my mother was different.
She stared at him like he was an insect. An insect that must be crushed immediately...
And once she makes a decision, her mind would not be changed...
So, how was it? Did you enjoy? I sure hope so!
I will try to post tomorrow, and by that I also mean, I most likely will.
Reviews would be very much enjoyed and useful (*hint hint*… :D)
Next chapter will be the dinner and the little surprise Eli and Clare will be attending. If you have seen the movie, you know what will happen. But I will change it up some!
Goodbye- For now… :D! That sounded so evil lol.
