ETORIA

I got a bottle of water from the kitchen then headed to the garden , I sat on the bench and closed my eyes to be one with the wind and nature but then am brought out my calm when I heard him

" You must really love nature?"

"Yes, I do my mum, grandma and I all love nature and many others in my family so you could say it's a thing for the women in my family" I answered again revealing way too much

" May I sit with you?" He requested so I scooted over

"Sure, do you love nature?" I asked curious

" No but I have no prejudice towards it either " He said making me silently happy he was actually responding this time with words

"Ooh, alright do you have any hobbies then? " I asked again

"Yes, I love to watch horror movies and staying still" He said

"Stay still, how do you do that?" I asked not understanding

"I just sit in one place and stare around, doesn't necessarily mean am thinking but I can stay like that for hours" He answered without an attitude

" Cool"

" How about you , got any hobbies?" He asked

"Yeah"

"Tell me , Etoria" He said but I got so much butterflies in me , it just felt so nice knowing he remembered my name

"I love to dance, garden, read novels, sing, sleep, eat and I love to just have fun " I said becoming my enthusiastic self

" Now that's a lot , definitely knew you would be a foodie " He said teasing me

"What, everyone likes food duh" I said flipping my hair

"Reading novels huh, how is that fun" He said scoffing and I gave him the don't gimme that shit face

" Don't attack that luscious, or else you'll get on my bad side " I said with all my ZAA

"Come on , am genuinely curious " He said giving me a serious look

" Well it's different, in a novel I can create my own world , input myself as the main character and link myself with several emotions at once besides let's not forget how strengthened my imaginative ability becomes , I get vivid dreams of my very own fairytale" I explained

" Woah that does sound magical just like you , Etoria" The crimson colour stains my face am sure cause I catch him staring 

"Yes I agree , what is your favorite color" I asked wanting to keep the conversation going

" Red but now am starting to like hazel" he said but I found myself blushing , am I why?

" That's a bold colour to like , it suites you" I said trying to get back in a conversation

" And what's yours?" He asked

" I love forest green but am starting to like black too" I said and I know we both found it Interesting, so we flirting now huh

" Nice , what's your full name" He asked curious

" Etoria Palms, what's yours?"

"Ad....am Luscious Freed" He said

" Nice , you seem nice and you are definitely talking more now" I said liking it

" Yh, am not much of a socialite "

" Hmm , what's your religion?" I asked curious

" Am Muslim and I come from Greece " He said surprising me

" Seriously " I said in genuine shock

"Yeah , why? , not your type?" He said meekly

" Noo, I mean that's not what I meant , you just look like some American model, you know?" I rambled out making him smile , I almost fainted as his smile took my breadth, so beautiful

" Thank you Mii Shiorum but how about you" He asked

" Well I am from California here and am christian"

" Nice , if you had a choice cause am guessing you don't, what would you have liked to become?" He asked making me think back in time

" Uhh, that's a nice question though, I have always wanted to become a Doctor or at least a Nurse but we don't always get it all in life so am still grateful for being here with you" I said cheekily

" Nice , Doctor Etoria or Nurse Etoria" I chuckled and I just felt nice it was insane

"What about you , Mr. Grumpy" I asked pondering

" Grumpy, am certainly not " He said cringing as we both laugh

" Alright I take it back" I said not to offend him

" Good, I have a likeness for travelling so if I would have been in another position other than being a  bodyguard well then I would have been a pilot " He said and I saw the sparkle in his eyes

" Oh wow , that so cool " I exclaimed genuinely surprised

" it's lunch time, let's go in so I can make lunch , we had a nice conversation luscious I loved it" I said sad the conversation had to come to an end after all, am still an employee

" Me too" He said as we both went in

-----Dining Area

Selena and I are at both sides of luscious but I can't help but notice how Selena keeps stuffing luscious with food . I try to get her to stop but then she might just be deaf and that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth so I just leave it and call it a night

" Uuhm , I will be going to bed for a nap now , if you need me call me please" I said, standing up to leave

" You've barely eaten Etoria , have some food " Luscious said before I walked away and I saw his lips move but Selena cut in

" Leave her be Luscious, she does this a lot besides she needs to lose some weight" She said but for some reason I felt myself almost cry

"SHE IS PERFECT " His voice boomed and an awkward silence paid us a visit afterward so basically took this chance

"Uuhh, I will be going now " I said walking away . I got to my room and laid down for a while before a knock took me off the bed

" Oh hi, luscious need my help with something " I said meeting his gaze by the door

" Yhh , I was just wondering if I should get you anything for dinner, you shouldn't go to bed hungry" He said calmly , oh boy!

" Ooh, no am good , am not hungry at all" I said

"Alright if you say so, I did my part as a friend"  He said but it lightened my mood as I smiled at him

" Friend?" I questioned

" Yeah , aren't we?" He said making me smile wider as I really then called it a night

"Goodnight friend"

" Goodnight"
