Doll Eyes (Not Continued)

7: Not All Business

Christian

"Your future husband."

This was my first time seeing her. Standing before me was my destined fiance in a little black dress. What a petite and pretty figure she is!

"Mom," I approached, eyes on Violet Ellsion, "You never told me she was this beautiful.

And that, my friends, has earned me my first blush and a smile from her.

Mom chuckled, "Well, we never know, huh? You two get to know each other." She turned to face the Ellisons and said, "Shall we go? We have important things to discuss."

Flawless skin, gorgeous red curls resting on her smooth shoulders, and a wonderful smile. But what got me off the edge was her beautiful green eyes.

I must be a lucky man, I thought. I shook my head. She doesn't even love me. Nor do I.

But I'm sure, I will in no time.

I'm pretty much left with no choice, because we'll be together forever.

I realized I was walking ahead our parents, so I paused and waited for Violet.

"Hey", I greeted her once again.

She smiled, "Hey."

"So, uh, how was your trip to Paris?" I guess that was a good start.

"Oh, it was great. Aside from the fact that I haven't been able to see land for what seemed like days. But it was all worth it."

"That's great to hear. So," I replied, and lifted my hands to my sides, "What do you think about Paris?"

She brushed her hair out of her face and replied, "It's so very... breathtaking. Especially the Eiffel Tower." I think I just fell im love with this city," she joked, pressing a dramatic expression on her look.

"Well, Miss Ellison," I smiled, looking at her, "They don't call it the City of Love for nothing."

We chuckled a little. We were doing so far so good in getting to know each other. And on our way to their hotel they were staying at, our parents would shoot us googly eyes and innocent smiles toward our direction.

Trust me, it wasn't worth seeing.

Every now and then, Violet would pause to look out the car window and mumble a 'wow'.

"Christian," Dad called out, "you should be planning what you'll be doing tomorrow, instead of staring at Violet. She's going to evaporate sooner or later."

She turned her head around and faced her mom, "Aren't you going to come with us?"

Her mom shook her head in reply, "We have work to do, Honey. But we'll go sightseeing when we visit Italy."

"Okay."

I took it as my chance to speak up. "So, Violet. What do you wanna do tomorrow?"

"You decide," she shrugged, "You live here. I bet you know what's fun and what's not."

I thought. What would she like? "I know, maybe we could go to the fair."

"The fair?", she asked curiously, "The one with the big ferris wheel and rides and all?"

Aw, what? I don't think she liked the idea of a fair. She might be scared with it or, I don't know, maybe it's too crowded for her. She might like shopping. Duh, she's female. Who wouldn't? But, I am not a female. And I'd rather not go.

"Uh yeah, it is," I replied, "If you don't like it, you- I mean, we could just go shopping or--"

"No, no. I'd love to go to the fair tomorrow."

I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

Thank goodness for sparing my life from the trouble of going shopping!

"Great," I grinned, "After that we could go down to the shops in Paris, the one with the mimes and paintors on the street."

"Really?" She exclaimed excitedly, "And to think I was only going to see a mime on TV."

After we arrived at their hotel, we sent them to their room and had their luggage brought up. I personally bade her goodnight, and left them to rest.

As me, my mother and father got on the elevator, my father spoke up.

"It's really good that you and Violet are getting quite close to each other."

"I'm glad, too," I replied, "It's not that hard, as she is a welcoming person. I know it's not going to take me long to love Violet."

"Oh, son," he stated calmly, "You're not forced to love her. This is just for the sake of our business and your future."

"But, Dad, it's not all business. And it seems it never will be."

A/N:

I'm so really sleepy at the moment, but pushed myself to finish another chapter. That's why it's very boring :( and I'm really sorry for that.

Anyway, that's enough of Christian. We'll return to Violet's in the next chapter.

I still have hopes, even though low, that you liked it! :3
