It Was Enchanting To Meet You...

Enchanted

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired lonely place

I sighed, sitting in the corner of the party hall that my brother, Lysandre, had hired. I was bored and lonely but I would rather be bored and lonely than forced to chat with some scientist I didn't know. My peace didn't last however, as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off and turned around to see Xerosic, a man I had only heard about from my brother.

"Hello Colette. You must be the Sl- Lysandre's sister" The greasy haired, overweight man said leaning over to me. I took a step back, disgusted. "I'm Xerosic, but I bet you already knew that" he sent a wink my way as he tried to flirt with me and I put on a fake smile, internally killing my brother for hiring such a sick, and probably drunk, man.

"Nice to meet you" I lied, not even daring to shake his hand.

"What? Not even a kiss on the cheek, you're going to be seeing a lot of me in the future so you better warm up to me soon baby" He told me and I paled, walking away instantly before I could be sick. I could see my brother's flame red hair so I wandered over, ignoring the whistles I got from various men. When I got closer I could hear his forced laugh and see as he turned away from some male scientist, grabbing his arm I pulled him away into a doorway.

"Look Lysandre. I know you're obsessed with your 'perfect world' but for Arceus' sake stop hiring creeps" I hissed, glaring upwards at my very tall brother.

"I'm sorry Colette" Lysandre told me not sounding very apologetic, his eyes on some girl the whole time.

"I'll be at my apartment, I'll see you tomorrow" I replied icily, glaring at him as I huffed and stormed back into the party, grabbing my coat.

Walls of insincerity,

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

I rolled my eyes when I saw Lysandre dancing with the girl he was staring at throughout our insincere convocation. As I walked to the door, I could feel everyone's eyes shift to look at me, probably thinking how immature I was being. I was so focused on getting away I didn't look where I was going meaning I crashed right into the most handsome man I had ever seen. I gasped and wobbled backwards, expecting to hit the floor with a thud and earn a nasty bruise on my back but instead I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me.

"Are you alright Madame?" He asked me, concern flooded his features. I could tell he was a native Kalosian, unlike some of the scientists, which comforted me. He didn't dress like them either so I didn't mind being in his arms.

"Oui, merci. I wasn't watching where I was going, desole" I apologised to the tall man in a lab coat.

"Don't apologise chere" He smiles, the pet name not bothering me as it usually did, I had a feeling he didn't mean it in a cruel way. Carefully placing me on a chair and as he checked me over, I could tell he was a doctor of some sort.

"It's Colette, by the way. And thank you" I said admiring the way his hair fell over his right eye a bit.

"No problem, I'm Augustine Sycamore. Pleasure to meet such a belle femme and even better to know you're not hurt" Augustine told me.

I was frozen, he call me beautiful. Nobody had ever called me that before, a blush coated my cheeks as I stood up and looked into his warm grey eyes. All I can say is:

"It was enchanting to meet you Augustine" I stuttered and he laughed looking at me curiously.

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
