Océane's Eyes

•VIII•

I step into the room and the familiar welcoming scent of Edens office wraps me in a comfortable blanket

I walk over to my couch and slump on it tossing my bag to the side. I've never pictured Eden in blue but the sky blue pant suit he has on is really hot.

"Hello Océane"

He really likes that name doesn't he?

"Hello Eden"

I don't say his name that often but when I do, I feel myself blush.

He adjusts himself in his arm chair and leans forward. "So, how was your date?"

"How was YOUR date?" I lean forward and also ask him. I really didn't know how to feel about him seeing someone, it shouldn't concern me but it does... Badly.

"I'm guessing your mum told you?"

"Uhmm, yeah" I lose my confidence a little and look at the floor

"It was nice. Now how was yours?" I look back up at him

It was nice?!!!!

Wonder what they did, I'm sure it was in some fancy restaurant with tiny plates and fake laughs

"My was.... Uhmmm....not.. good" I drag my words not really wanting to talk about or even remember that day but that's why I'm here, to get it forced out of me.

"Why? What happened?" He asks, his face taken over by a look of worry and confusion.

I look down and start fumbling with my fingers, you know, the usual thing to do when you are now uncomfortable talking.

"He.. asked.. if I was a virgin" now any happiness I had when I came here has officially vanished, disappeared.

"Oh."

I get your at a loss for words Eden, I'd be too if a sixteen year old girl told me that

"I'm so sorry about that. What was your reaction, did you answer?"

"I left, I lied and I left. Told him it was already past curfew and my mum would be really mad. I had my first kiss with someone I have been crushing on for five years plus and I didn't even feel it, I hardly even remember it. I think my eyes were open?"

"Dang. Your mind was clouded with negative thoughts I'm guessing"

"Yeah on my way back home, you should have seen me. I was all zombie mode. I cried.... I cried a lot"

"I understand, do you still feel bad about it?"

"Yeah, I feel bad knowing that a stranger took my virginity you know. I expected this perfect date, with my perfect boyfriend, I don't want to go into details but you get it don't you?" I look up at him, how does he make me talk, make me open up without feeling forced.

"I get it. Sometimes things don't really go as planned but we still have to move on"

"Yeah"

I fumble with the hem of my skirt, did I point out that wore a skirt today? Wow, how could I miss such important info, oh yeah I was focused on Edens suit.

Oh yeah the skirt, I wore a skirt. Courtesy of Adrien, his mission is to help me like my wardrobe again, cause there's nothing wrong with it and cause he doesn't liking seeing his "widdle sistur" loose her self confidence cause of some men his exact words.

Why Eden didn't comment on my skirt? I'll never know.

"My brother's back and Reggie came over" I want to tell him all about the weekend, I want to tell him everything about everything.
