CHP. EIGHT
walls of an individualStanding alone amongst the people who are now grouped into their assigned pair, Eros debated with himself if he should take the initiative to approach his pair, or wait for her to come to him instead. But his dilemma was shortly resolved when his eyes catches a glimpse of her figure walking towards him.
"So you're Rafael"The smile lines on her face were evident, as she beams him a welcoming grin.
"Nice to formally meet you"Lizzie says, with her gaze meeting with an acquainted pair of eyes from yesterday.
He subtly smiles in return, taking the opportunity to fully familiarize himself with her. The light tracing her silhouette from the back when they met yesterday—shadowed the details of her face. Free from the sun's contours, Eros silently observed her features; noticing how she projects this warm aura with her looks.
'His eyes are quite an eye catching attribute of him' Lizzie thought to herself—registering the captivating gaze Eros's eyes possesses.
"Shall we sit down?"He asked; gesturing his hand to an uncrowded area on the patio.
She nods her head to his offer and followed his pace. They sat down, keeping a notable distance apart. Lizzie looks at the boy at the other end of the coffee table between the armchairs' they're occupying.
"Are there any activities you'd like to try?"He said sitting in a poised posture—back gently pressed on the armchair.
"Places you want to visit that you've never went before?"Eros added with a gentle tilt of his head.
A suppressed chuckle comes out of Lizzie, "Now you mentioned, I haven't thought about that yet"She draws her eyes away from the boy; feeling the sudden overwhelming vibe from her situation.
His slightly vacant tone, and firm-like body language contributed to the sudden serious shift between the two of them.
"Well then, just inform me if ever you come up with something"Eros says without batting a lash; having this slight stoic expression displayed.
Lizzie nods her head to his statement; carefully darting her gaze to Eros once more. His demeanor is quite different from his relatives on the patio. The boy appears more reserved and staid—the type who's hard to engage a conversation with. Nevertheless the impressions she gained towards the boy, it was too early for her to conclude his personality.
"I heard you just returned from Switzerland"She mentioned in hopes to deepen their conversation.
His face contorts into a clueless look—quite surprised about her knowing.
"Misa told me about it during lunch yesterday"Lizzie added seeing his reaction towards what she said,"Was it your first time there?"She asked.
"No"He replied shaking his head. "I study there"
