With a bit of lies, rich parents, parties and press, everything seem possible, but is it?
One date cont...

The only place I could find some peace and quiet to figure out the last details of Natalia's birthday gift was the campus library. I only had a few things that had to be done before her birthday party this evening.
I can't believe she's turning seven and has to celebrate her day at the hospital. I remember my seventh birthday. Since I was still really into ballet just like Elia, my dad hired ballet dancers to perform and it was magical. I had a princess crown and a pretty pink dress my mom designed.
There's a picture of me, Ophelia, Miles and Xavier from that day. Arms around each other's shoulders, standing in front of the ocean by our beach, everyone smiling. I still have that picture framed on my nightstand.
I tap my pen on the notebook in beat to the music in my airpods. Damn Hozier never misses. When I die I hope it is his voice that brings me to heaven.
I feel a light tap on my shoulder which almost makes me jump in fear, I quickly take out on airpod at the sound of a voice speaking to me, "excusez-moi, mademoiselle, I didn't mean to frighten you" he says in a light french accent.
I smile, looking up at the man that had just approached me. I'm greeted with a warm smile and dark hazel eyes. My eyes travel up and down quickly. Slight curly brown hair, messy but styled. Dark gray and slight baggy jeans paired with a sweater and black leather blazer.
"No, don't worry" I finally managed to say
"Do you know where I can find..." he pauses "the toilet?" He asks with a shy smile.
"Oh yes, there's a few right outside that door by the physics book" I give him a smile back and he nods however, he doesn't move, he looks at me as if he's trying to figure out my name. "Do I know you from somewhere?" I ask, hopefully not because that would be awkward, I would usually remember a face like his. God he's pretty.
"Uh no, I don't think so, I just transferred here from my old university, my name is Éliott" he extends his hand and I shake it with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Éliott, I'm Diana. What university did you transfer from?"
"Université Paris Cité but I am originally from Monaco"
"Impressionnant, tu connais Charles Leclerc?" (impressive, do you know CL?) I smirk and he chuckles, taking a seat next to me.
"Un peu" (a little) He gestures with his fingers "ton français sonne bien." (your french is good)
"Merci Monsieur" a place my hand on my heart "En fait ma mère est française" (my mother is french actually)
"I see where you get your beauty from then" he flashes me a cute smile and I can feel a blush creeping on my cheeks.
Is this wrong? I mean one of me and Miles's rules are no flirting with other people but I'm not flirting with Èliottt, he's sort of flirting with me but tons of girls flirt with Miles so why should this be different? Because he's insanely pretty, speaks french, comes from monaco and is hanging out in the library... Nope.
"Uhm, so you're new, do you need a tour of campus?" I ask him, closing my notebook.
"I did get a tour when I arrived but I keep getting lost but mostly I'm looking for friends" he almost whispered the last part.
"Well great, looks like you already have one, let me give you my number and then maybe you can come hang out with me and my friends someday" I take out my phone and he grins while taking out his.
We exchange numbers and continue some small talk. I find out that he's majoring in art history and decided to take a year in New York because he wanted a change.
"I have to leave for a friend's birthday party, she's turning seven and she ordered me not to be late" I chuckle, thinking about Natalia and her punctuality obsession.
Èliott chuckles with me "Ah well, then let me walk you out" I gather my things and we stand up to leave.
"Weren't you supposed to go to the bathroom like... 10 minutes ago?" I ask when we walk past the toilets.
"Uhh" he scratches the back of his head "honestly that was just an excuse so I could talk to you" he says with a shy smile.
"Intriguing, why me of all people?" I smile back.
"You looked like a very peaceful person, very kind, et sans oublier, trés belle" (and without forgetting, very beautiful) he smirks.
This guy... one second he acts shy then the other he compliments me in french? Way to try and swoon.

Hello :)
Long time no see, like always x
What a chapter right? A new character? What are we thinking, what's the first impression of Éliott Levitte? (btw character aesthetic can be found the the ca chapter in the beginning of the story)
also, in order for me to actually post, you kinda have to deal with pretty short chapters but at least it's something :)
I hope you all have an amazing weekend, lots of love xx
