Melodies Of Love

Chapter 1: Chance Encounter

Lily

"Oh lord please be okay, please be okay I can't afford to lose you granny. Could you drive faster please, sir?" Lily said to her cab driver internally panicking. Lily Katz is a struggling but talented fashion designer in Paris currently on her way to her one and only grandmother who's gotten a heart attack while she was away at work. Granny Matilda was all Lily had in this world as both her parents died in a tragic accident when she was a child. When lily is away at work her neighbour Sloane is the one who updates her about her grandma's needs. Just half an hour back Lily had gotten a call from Sloane about her grandma's condition. As she reaches the hospital she rushes to the reception desk to ask about her grandma and finds her in the general ward unconscious but out of danger as the doctor said. Lily can feel her legs shaking as she eventually collapses next to her lifeline. She gets up and pulls a chair and takes a seat next to her grandmother. "I'm so sorry gram I should have taken better care of your health. Please... You can't leave me so soon, I can't live without you. Please just open your eyes." Lily says with tears trickling down her cheeks. "I'm not going to leave you until you open your eyes.. I'll be right beside you grandma"
Lily's POV: just as I was having a mental breakdown next to my grandmom I see Mr. hotshot aka Alex Barlowe pull up in the hospital looking as anxious and worried as me.. his face covered in sweat as if he'd been running to the hospital and Oh. My. God he looks so freaking hot in his casual clothes like this. I've never seen him in any other clothes other than the fancy outfits his stylist probably picks for him.

(Alex Barlowe is a brooding famous musician who's known for his rebellious persona. He comes from one of the richest families in Paris and owns more than 10 buildings and tons of acres of land in his name. He has millions of fans all around the world. His brother Adrien has gotten into a very serious car accident and Alex was nearby in the vicinity when his parents called him about his brother and that he should reach first and they would be on their way. Alex ran across three lanes to reach the hospital. "Where's my brother Adrien Barlowe admitted to?!" He growls as he entered the hospital full of rage and fear asking the receptionist. "Tell me in which room he is Lil Miss." "Ah um Mr A-Alex y-your brother is in the ICU on the second floor sir" the poor lady says terrified because of Alex's shouting. "K. Got it" he briefly says as he rushes to the elevator and gets inside it. "God damn it Adrien! You've gotta be kidding me right now!" He says as he runs his hand aggressively through his hair as the elevator reaches the second floor. He steps out and sees the operation theater in surgery and takes a seat on one of the benches as he waits for any nurse or doctor to come out of the Operation room. In the mean time his parents arrive as well.

Lily's POV: what just happened here? His brother is in the same hospital? What happened to him.. I hope his brother is doing alright. Gosh what am I thinking when I should be worrying about my grandmother. Omg I should get his autograph!! Ugh get a hold of your fucking self, what the hell is wrong with me. I need coffee right now, like 1 litre of coffee, that will probably calm me down. "I'll be right back my sweet grandma, please open your eyes till then" I go to the coffee vending machine and start brewing the darkest coffee known to mankind because it's 9am and I didn't get to sleep a wink last night bcuz of this goddamn manager of mine. Like literally what's even his problem, why can't he just accept my designs in the first try!! Why does he have to make me redo it a 100 times till he feels satisfied. God!! that bastard I'm gonna open my own firm and show him what I am hmph. Just as I turned around with my coffee in my hand mr hotshot was standing behind me.. and there goes my jumpy self and I spilled my hot coffee all over him "Ow fuck!, that's hot!" Alex growled at me with fire in his eyes "I-i-i am so-o sorry Mr Barlowe." I said apologetically. "Well your sorry isn't gonna fix my ruined shirt! Don't you have eyes or something? So you even know how much my clothes were worth?!" Alex says with absolute fuming anger and I can't help it because the coffee was actually really hot his chest must be burning right now. "I'm so very sorry but if u don't mind can I apply ointment on your burns? Your chest probably burns really bad right?" I said without properly thinking what I'm even saying and what is sounds like to a star who probably has thousands of stalkers and people that want to expose and shame him on the internet. "What the fuck did you just say you pervert?! I'm absolutely not gonna get undressed in front of some fan who'll probably secretly take my photos and sell it to other people for clout." Hearing his words I just realised what just came out of my filthy mouth. "Omg no!.. I didn't mean it like that! Well ok how's this... I have the ointment and you can go and apply it on your chest in the bathroom? Don't worry I won't try to sneak your photos in the bathroom. I'll be standing a metre away from the bathroom door and when you're done you can return my ointment to me" I said calmly with a smile, actually thinking about my words this time. "Okay, sounds good" he said his words almost sounding like he was gonna murder me right this moment.
A few minutes later - "Here thanks for lending me this" Alex says seemingly relaxed now but still with a hint of rudeness in his voice.
