Take Me Back To The Daisies

Chapter 1 - Memories And You

Elle was sitting down at a table in a café with her best friend, Jess. Jess was rambling on about her career as a dancer and how she was annoyed by how the manager of the company treated her badly. She rambled on and on about it and she got lost in her thoughts. It was a gloomy day, with the rain lashing down outside against the window of the café and the light music playing in the café while everyone was engaged in conversation around her.

POV, Elle

All of a sudden my eyes fell on a florist market stool in the middle of the street. There were loads of gorgeous flowers to choose from. Suddenly, my eyes fell on a lady, who picked up a white flower with a yellow middle. I froze while she paid for the flowers, realizing what flowers they were. Daisies. I felt your body tense and felt a sudden sadness come over you as my head dropped. Suddenly, Jess' voice snapped my thought process and brought me back to reality.

"Elle?! Are you even listening to me? ELLE PAGE'' she snapped. I snapped my head to look at her. She was frowning and then suddenly her expression changed when I looked at her.

"You thought about her again didn't you?" She looked concerned as I nodded and pointed to the lady walking towards the café with daisies in her hand.

Jess sighed and said "why don't we go order? I am dying for a mocha" you agreed. "What do you want then? I'll go order for us" I listened to what she wanted and then got up and went to the counter to order. I told the lady at the counter what we would like and I paid and was about to leave when a tall man bumped into me. "Oh my goodness! I am so sorry!" I sorta shrieked as I was startled as I stumbled backwards. As I was about to fall backwards to the floor the guy caught me by the waist and pulled me close to him. The first thing I noticed was his eyes. They were dark chocolate orbes just twinkling at me. Fuck. I couldn't see his face or anything as he had a black mask on and a black hoodie with the hood up. I sort of felt intimidated by the dark, cold aura he was giving me, but his eyes. My god his eyes were gorgeous and staring at me. I was lost in his eyes for a moment. As soon as I realized and looked at the position we were in i straightened myself up, as did he clearing his throat

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Are you okay?" His voice sounded cold but endearing. Almost like he was actually concerned about what he did. His voice was like music to my ears. It was soft yet cold.

"Yeah I'm okay, sorry for bumping into you" I looked at his eyes again but he looked down and cleared his throat.

"Next time, look where you are going and don't be so clumsy," he said, more firm and cold.

Ouch. Why did the words of this stranger hurt me so much? He walked away after taking his order and didn't take a second look at me. I got our order and went back to our table. I set the tray down with our order and sighed and looked down.

"What is his problem?" Jess said, infuriated.

"Who knows? Anyways, let's hurry because I am bound to be scolded by my stepmother for being out too long" I rolled my eyes in frustration.

End of Elle POV

??? POV

I entered the café and ordered my usual. I was about to sit down while I waited for my order. I was reading something when I came in contact with a small petite figure. My phone fell out of my hand onto the floor as we crashed into each other. I saw she was gonna fall and hurt herself and something made me grab her. I put one hand on her waist to stop her from falling and pulled her close to me. This is weird, she felt warm and welcoming. She looked at me right in the eyes and almost like she looked into my soul. Her glassy eyes were beautiful. I almost gasped at how beautiful and pretty she was. My eyes traveled from her eyes to her lips. Fuck. They looked inviting, those lips were pink and plump. I suddenly had the urge to kiss those lips when I realized this was a stranger and most likely a fan. I mentally slapped myself and we both moved out of the position we were in. I removed my hand from her waist and apologized. I saw her smile and thought she instantly knew who I was. I grabbed my order and went after scolding her and telling her to watch where she was going. I didn't turn around in case she knew who I was, expecting to hear a scream of my name. But it never came so I carried on walking with relief.
