All of me (A Lizquen story)

11. The hunting past

I stopped the car and took the flowers from the passenger seat. The feelings I felt, the sadness, the happiness and the love I felt before... I thought I can get rid of it over the years but no, it is hunting me...my love for her. After what happend today, I felt like everything is happening again.

I walked into the grass pathway, to the grave of someone I owe to.

"Good day Sir Henry and Madam Amelia. Can I talk to you ? " I sat and placed the flowers and lighted the candles.

Yes, I owe them big time. They save my mom but I broke my promise to Sir Henry. Upon remembering, I cried and recalling the past. Its like very night when I sleep, her voice...her laughter.. its hunting me, is it because I broke my promise ? Or because I didnt do anything to find justice of her parents death.

I wiped my tears and lifted my chin as I sat beside there grave.

"5 years before sir, I met the most beautiful girl in the world. She was very crazy and out of her mind sometimes but I fell inlove with her craziness, and....and I cant believe she'll love me too." I felt tears running to my cheeks.

"Dad ! Do I really have to go to that ball ? I mean, it would be just boring." I looked away and sat at the couch while watching my father play dart, Dad went to me and held my shoulders...

"Son this is the perfect time to meet our rivals, especially Luisito's sole heiress...She will be there, and she's a beauty !" He winked at me and laugh heavily.

The next day, I just wore my white tuxedo and freshin up. My butler and our driver sent me to the Grand Ball for Youth Entrepreneurs, held at La Esperanza Global New York, it is the grandest and most prestigeous ball to all heir and heiress of there family businesses worldwide. For them, it would be a huge priviledge to meet young people in business but for me, its a huge waste of time.

Growing in a family full of hassle and business problems made me who I am before, a loner, a bit rebelous, a sore bum and a pathetic kid following everything my father ask. I seldom talk to my mom. She is the most kind and lovely woman in the world but she has a mental disorder that caused Dad to bring her to Canada for further treatment with my grandparents.

I grew up with my butler and his son Stanley which is a very good friend to me.

I never felt love coz I was always left alone, mom was away and since Dad built his new business which is 5 star hotels, He seldom talk or go out with me. He wont let me go out to play, I was just with Stanley in a huge mansion in Manhattan. I even study with the finest professor but at home. My childhood ? Was as bitter as hell.

I met many people in the ball but as what I said, It was boring ! And still at the age of 20, I hate formal parties. So I went out and found a very beautiful garden with an amazing maze.

I went to the maze, I walked and I felt I stepped into something. I picked it up and found a silver stiletto and it is the left pair of the shoe. I took it and continued into the maze and found the other pair. Wow ! I wasn't informed that Cinderella dropped her shoes in a maze, not in the stairway. I just chuckled a bit and continued to walk through the maze.

Until I found a huge and fabolous pool that has a big fountain in the middle. I went closer and notice a big white something that was floating.

My eyes widen and saw a girl in her white gown, floating unconciously in the pool. I dropped the shoes and dive at the pool. Oh no ! What is she up to ?? I swam and went closer and tried to held her waist but she suddenly open her eyes and panic. She flapped her arms and screamed.

"Oh my God ! Who the hell are you ?! What are you doing here ?! Are you trying to rape me ?! You pervert ! Maniac ! Ew ! Dont touch me !!! " I held her arms to catch her attention since she is just screaming and not paying attention to me.

"Hey calm down ! Im not doing any foolish things to you, you idiot !! " she held tight to my neck and trying to choke me up hard.

"Your the Idiot, moron !!! Pervert !!"
I tried to explain and calm her down but she was so strong that when she resisted my hand she accidentally hitted my head hardly with her sparkling banggle on her wrist that toke me off balance and hit my head again at the edge of the pool and everything went black.

"Wake up ! Oh my god ! Wake up please !!" I woke up from the painful dream i dreamed and saw a very beautiful girl that was soaking wet. I sat, and she helped me. I held my head that was hurting too much.

"Im so sorry. I shouldnt acted too much, Oh my god ! Does it still ache ? " she looked worried as she held my head with a small wound. I just stared at her, am I still dreaming ? or am still dead and saw an angel ?

"Does it hurt much ? " she asked worriedly.

"Yeah. Your really are an angel" I smiled geeky and she laughed that made my senses back.

"What are you laughing at ? " i asked as I look away and felt shy.

"Your cute especially when your stupid." And she laughed hard again.

"Oh yeah. Laugh as much as you can ! Ha ha ha ! Poof ! I though you were drowning so I just tried to save you but its like you save me from drowning because of your big heavy hand !! " i sarcastically said.

"Hey ! You dont have to be mean. Well, anyway thank you if you look at it that way. Thank your for your concern but I was just fine. I got bored and feel like swimming." She said happily.

"With your gown on ?"

"Yes why not ? And it was fun and it was more fun, coz I met you." She smiled and looked at me.

"Your crazy ! " I said as I pinch her cheek.

"And your an idiot ! " she took my hand and held it.

"But your beautiful." I went close to her face but she tighten her hand unto mine and giggled and suddenly pulled me back to the pool and surpised me a lot. We swam into the other edge.

"Your such a slowpoke ! " she said and giggled. I cant help myself but stare at her lovely and beautiful smile.

"Yeah I know." I said.

"Im Liza. Elizabeth Soberano is the name but you can call me Liza." She said while offering a hand and i grab it.

"Enrique Gil. But I want you to call me Quen." I said and we shake hands.

"Im glad to meet you Quen." I took her hand and kissed it.

"Can you be my friend, Liza ? " she nodded and we just laugh, talk and enjoyed the night together at the pool.

Afterwards, We walked towards the exit of the garden. I let her wear my suit since its already dawn and very cold.

"Im good here. Thank you for the night, Quen. You made it fun." She said.

"Do you stay here ? " i asked.

"Yeah. I'll be staying until morning. Mom will pick me up tomorrow and I know, I'll be in a huge trouble when the found out." I took her hand and kissed it once again.

"I know this isnt farewell, we'll meet again soon, I promise. And yes, you made my night amazing too. Thank you Liza, til we meet again beautiful." She smiled and waved as I walk away.

"See you again, Quen ! Take care." She said and that was our first incredible meeting, the best chapter of my life.
