The Marriage Arrangement (Elournor)

Greedy

“You kissed him!?” Alexis exclaimed happily as she sat up on the large, plush bed.

 

“But he cheated on you! Why would you ever kiss him?” Jacquelyn questioned.

 

“It’s obvious that they ‘made up’ if you know what I mean.” Dakota smirked, mischievously, while she changed behind her Japanese changing screen that was black with golden bamboo painted on it.

 

The three girls have been throwing questions at Eleanor ever since she told them about the kiss she and Louis shared. Everything they asked her, the young woman tried to answer but it began to get to the point where she started to get a headache. They wanted to know every little detail.

 

They wanted to know when did she kiss Louis, where were they at, where they alone, was it day or night, and if anything more happened that Eleanor wasn't telling. Eleanor didn't tell them anything more than the kiss and her argument with her family’s rival’s son.

 

She was deeply embarrassed to even think about Louis now. All she could think about was the stripper that he supposedly slept with and she even had feelings towards him. He had everything that a woman could want. He has loads of money, he’s well built, and he was extremely handsome.

 

If she was shallow and only cared about the Tomlinson’s boy’s money, Eleanor would probably forget about the night with the stripper, but she wasn't. Louis was her first boyfriend and she always dreamed and hopped that the first guy she would be with would give her the most amazing moments of her life, not break her heart right when they get together.

 

Her and her mother saw that Louis was obviously wrong for her. Everyone else seems to ignore the blokke’s wrongs or allow him to get off easy instead of giving him a proper punishment. He’s not like the guy she was with on her birthday or on their first date. Its like he changed overnight.

 

Eleanor knew about her family’s rivals and Louis but she never knew about Louis’ behaviour. She barely read anything about the lad and she wish she would have. She should have known about him then maybe she would have tried her best to avoid him. Although, her parents and the Tomlinson’s might not have liked that idea.

 

They might have revealed to her that they needed her to be with Louis. If she would have refused, Eleanor’s parents might have told her that it was the greater good for both families. It would be a sacrifice that she would have to take and Louis would be a burden she would have to bare for the rest of her life.

 

“Hey, didn’t that Louis guy get in trouble for doing something? It was all in the papers!” Alexis asked while she hugged the large pillow that she brought over.

 

“I really dont want to talk about him anymore right now.” Eleanor informed with mumble, showing everyone a frown.

 

No one heard her and thought she was listening to the rest of them talk now. Jacquelyn looked to her and saw the frown on her face. She felt sorry for her friend and wondered why she couldn't just walk away from him.
