Hiden behind a mask! (on hold, sorta)

Chapter 9

Eleanor P.O.V

It was already 10am by the time I woke. Since I had the day off I had decided to go shopping. I through on a pair of pale grey jeans and a loose blue top that ended just below the top of my jeans. I shoved my phone and money in to my pockets. I decided to walk today cause the weather wasn't bad.

I was starting to get hungry so I stopped in to a cafe near work, It was called Lynch's cafe. The owners were very nice and always gave me the food for a little cheaper since I had managed to get them customers one day when the hotel had been to busy for some family who just wanted to go some were quiet to eat had stopped me and asked me were I would suggest and ever since that the cafe has been doing great. Just as I was headed for a table with my food I slipped on the wet floor. I dropped my tray but at the last minute a someone caught me. Setting me up right again I turned to thank who ever had caught me. It was the guy from the party.

"You okay love?" His voice was as cheerful as it had been at the party. I was to stocked to respond so I just nodded my head. Just then one of the waitresses came rushing over to clean the mess.

 "Eleanor, I'm so sorry I forgot to put the wet floor sign out. I clean this up and I'll get you replacement food on the house. I'll bring it down to the table for you once this is cleaned up."

"It's okay you don't have to do that. I should have been watching were I was going." I had finally snapped out of my shock at this stage.

"Yes Eleanor I do, you have done so much for us and are a loyal friend to father. It's the least we can do for you. Now let there not be another word about it!" Father. Shout how did I not recognize her. She was Mr Lynch, the owner's second oldest daughter. She was only about nineteen years old. She had ruched off to get supplies to finish cleaning up the mess so I headed for a small table in the corner. It was only when I sat down that I realized I had been followed.

"Is this seat taken or can I have it?" He said indicating to the chair opposite me.

"Yes amh I mean no, you can have it if you want." I mentally patted my self on the for making a fool of my self again. He just started chuckling to him self as he took a seat.

"So your the pretty girl from the party, right?" Was that a question or a statement and did he just call me pretty. "It was a question and yes I called you pretty."

"Did I say that out loud?" He shock and embarrassment must have been clear on my face cause he burst out laughing. When he finally finished laughing he managed to answer me as he caught his breathe with a simple yes. Since he hadn't mentioned the party again I choose to avoid answering it. At this stage my food had already arrived so I dug in.

"Well from the way you eat I assume you weren't meant to be at that party and that's why your avoiding talking about it." I had just finished as he said this and was whipping my face with the edge of the napkin. I was about to reply when he continued. "Now your wondering how I know it was you at the party, well that's easy as you wouldn't have assumed it was a statement when I asked you about the party if you hadn't been there. And now your probably  wondering how did I know you didn't belong there well that's because you eat with your fingers."

"You sound like a know it all and I never said I was there or not." I snapped.

"It's fine if you were I won't tell any one." I didn't like being interrogated by some know it all spoiled rotten brat so I made a beeline for the ladies room. When I came back out there didn't seem to be any signs of him so I quickly headed for the door. No sooner was I outside he was right beside me again. I started to head towards in the direction of the hotel but he caught my wrist stopping me in my tracks. I turned to face him.
