GENTLE | VISCOUNT TEWKESBURY

9| The Flower Market

[Y/N]

I WAS CERTAIN THAT OUT OF ALL THE PLACES IN LONDON, TWEKESBURY WOULD BE AT THE FLOWER MARKET. When I told Enola she laughed asking 'why would he come to London if he was passionate about flowers?'. It was my turn to laugh. It was pretty obvious, the answer. He could be lost in London.

And even though I did convince Enola that the first place we should look for him in was the flower market, I did not convince her to come with me. She said something along the lines of 'I'll stay here and think of our next step while you find him.'

I didn't argue with her, mainly because I knew that our plan lacked a fare share of thing due to the little time we had. And so, I left Enola back in her room to think of 'the next step of our plan' as she said while I went out in search of Twekesbury.

"Sorry" I muttered as I made my way through he crowd of people. The buzz of people's everyday conversations was starting to give me a headache, though I was well aware I'd get used to it with the time passing.

"Oh sorry" said a girl's voice who had accidently elbowed me while walking towards the opposite direction. "It's fine" I smiled as I looked at her. Her skin was pale like porcelain and her eyes were a color of deep green. Her black hair was messily tucked into a bun and she was holding a journal. "I'm Luna" the soft voice said again.

"I'm Y/n" I introduced myself. "You are really pretty" the girl confessed eyeing me up and down. I smiled at her statement and I was pretty sure my cheeks were coloured a tinted pink. I was well aware I live up to the beauty standards but no one had ever said anything like it. "And your dress, it brings out your eyes."

"I'm sorry, I tend to have no filter" the girl apologised when I didn't talk at all. "Not it's fine. I tend to be a little awkward in such situations" I smiled. "Your eyes are the most beautiful shade of green I've ever seen" I said and I knew I wasn't lying.

"You seem like a lovely person. Such a shame I have to go. You see my little sister is waiting for me" she informed before starting to walm away. "It was nice meeting you" she said as she waved at me. Waving back I gave her one last smile before turning. Such a weird encounter this one was.

It wasn't long later I noticed the brown haired boy I was looking for. "Oh well hello there" I said which seemed to cause the boy to snap out of his thoughts. "What are you doing here?" he asked surprised. "So you are not happy to see me?" I asked attempting to walk away.

"No, no that's not what I meant" the boy said in panic as he softly grabbed my hand and pulled me back towards him. "I'm just surprised that's all" he sighed. "But seriously why are you here?" he asked, his hands not letting go of mine just yet.

"As it turns out your life is still in danger. Someone is trying to kill you" I simply stated. "Who would try to kill me?" he laughed, not believing any of it. "Countless people. Including me and Enola too."

"Enola is with you?" the boy asked once I mentioned the girl's name. "Yes. She's actually waiting for us" I informed.

"Could I have one of these?" I asked, changing the subject completely and looking over his shoulder, my attention now shifted from him to the Irises behind him. "Of course you could. Although I believe a Daisy would suit you better."

"And why is that?"

"Daises symbolise beauty and innocence" he said simply. "Are you implying I'm innocent? Because if you do then let me tell you how wrong you really are."

"No. I'm implying you are beautiful."

I looked down, blushing at the compliment. Got called beautiful two times and only in the span of a few minutes? That's a record.

"You are ridiculous."

Shaking my head I went to grab his hand, only to realise they were already held together. "Now come on. Enola's waiting."

"Not just yet" the boy said letting go of my hand and turning his back to me. Turning to face me only seconds later I didn't fail to notice the flower in his hand. "Here" he said handing me the Daisy. Scoffing I grabbed his hand again and we started making our way back to Enola's place.

TWEKESBURY LOOKED AT ME IN CONFUSION WHEN I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR THREE TIMES AND THEN STOPPED, WAITING FOR A MOMENT ONLY TO KNOCK TWO MORE TIMES BUT THIS TIME MORE LIGHTLY. However he didn't question it, for he did not have the time to before the door opened to reveal Enola.

"Is this how you're living?" the boy asked while looking around. "Did you just rent a room at the Ritz?" the girl spoke in a sarcastic tone while opening the window. "I afforded myself a shade more comfort than this."

"Well the woman I boarded off assured me this was a fine room" Enola told him trying to put an end in their conversation. "The woman you boarded off lied" he said while taking off his blazer. His gaze then fell on the opened newspapers that were sat on top of the bed, covering all the space.

"Be careful with that" I noted as he picked up the closest one in his reach, examining it. "She hasn't finished reading it and if I were you I would not want hear Enola complain right now" I told him quietly so the girl wouldn't hear me.

But no matter how low my tone was she still managed to hear every word I said. She glared at me before breaking out into laughter, seeing she couldn't keep acting mad at me up anymore.

"I'll make us some tea" she grinned before walking out of the room, leaving me and Twekesbury alone. However none of us moved or made any effort to follow the girl.
