Evelyn Wohl and the Way Back Home

Chapter 4- The Stranger

A/N
Firstly, a big thanks to all the readers for reading and supporting this story. Secondly, Enjoy!
Ps- This is what I imagine Zara would look like.

"Mom? Mom!"
"Yes Evelyn. What is it? Why are you screaming the house down honey?" asked Tristis Wohl some what flustered as if she were disturbed from a long distance call.
"Mommy I've got to help Zara choose her birthday dress! It's going to be so amazing!"
"Sure honey. But drop in by 9 or something? Don't be late please."
"Sure Mom. Will do that. Got to go. Bye!" said Evelyn and dashed out of the house.
"Bye sweetie!" her mom said from behind.
Tristis bid her daughter a goodbye while praying fervently that whatever peril there might be, wasn't too close. And then she was lost in the urgency of the situation.

Evelyn ran to her Volvo and quickly extracted her watch from the dashboard. As she wore her watch, her eyes flew to her wrist where she noticed a new pink puckered scar that she knew hadn't been there before. Had she fallen down? Had she scraped herself? Or was it her watch malfunctioning again? As the questions whirled around in her mind, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar hood of a car, tires screeching, coming at her.
As on reflex Evelyn tried to run, the bonnet of the car hit her and then she was flying. "Aaahhhh" screamed Evelyn as she fell on the flower bed and crushed her mother's daisies. From the front window of the house, she faintly noticed very much to her expectance , Jeremy with a phone in his hand doubling over in laughter and pounding on the walls.
"This video is going to crash the Internet!" he half laughed, half cried.
She was sure to be tagged on the lnsta video. All of a sudden, a big hand came to her rescue.
"Woah Dad. Trying to kill me?" groaned Evelyn while getting up and brushing her clothes as she noticed the disaster she had caused to the tender daisies.
"Sorry Eve! I was trying to park but you stood like a statue. I kept honking on but you didn't listen!" mumbled Felix Wohl. Had he made it too obvious? Had she seen him lost in a different world?
"Felixstowe William Wohl. Did you just almost kill my daisies? I mean my daughter?" Tristis said burst out of the front door.
"Yeah mom. Just avoided death by my father alike any usual day." Evelyn said in a highly sarcastic tone. Felix breathed a sigh of relief. No she hadn't. Yet.
"What! I told you to get nowhere near my flowers!" screeched Tristis in horror.
"Mom cares about her daisies more than you, Evelyn!" said Jeremy in mock sadness.
"Ofcourse not. Okay Evelyn darling?" her mother said guiltily
"Yeah mom. Just going to change. Again." Said Evelyn and rushed upstairs.
It was a two storey house with six bedrooms and chic furnishings. Owning a house in the middle of Manhattan with a parking lot and a dining room? Yes that girl could be called rich.
Evelyn quickly changed into a sequinned top and blue jeans that showed how tall and lean her body was and rushed to go to Zara's.
Just as she sat In her Volvo, she received a ping notification on her phone. It was a video Jeremy posted on instagram in which she was tagged. To her horror, she saw it was the one of her landing on her back in her mother's daisies. It was captioned 'clumsy girl flies after being hit by a bonnet of car' followed by hash tags like #dadnearlykillsowndaugher #myfam #followforfollow #evelynwohldiscoverssecrettoflyomg and on and on. She groaned In frustration at the video and untagged herself but she knew that it wouldn't be long before she was tagged again. She revved her engine and set of for Zara's place.

Ding Dong! Rang the bell as Andromeda opened the door.
"Hello Prof- um Mrs Leur!"
"Well hello dear. Come on in. Zara is almost ready. She'll be out in a moment." Said Mrs Leur.
As Evelyn entered, she smelled the usual beautiful mandarin scent. But she did notice the change in the wooden interiors which now glossier than ever before. Goodness, it was one beautiful house. While waiting it did occur to Evelyn to ask about the weird yoga from Andromeda but stopped short of asking as she saw a painting. An old man could be seen sitting in a same pose as her parents.
"Set to go?" said Zara as she came out wearing a black halter neck dress. She looked ravishing, but then she had always been beautiful. With her big brown doe eyes, blue tipped bob and flawless skin, the girl was an eyecatcher.
"You look good." Complemented Evelyn.
"So do you and by the way, the video is hilarious." Said Zara as Evelyn heard Andromeda giggling from the next room while watching a video, which she hugely doubted was hers.
"Come on, lets go."
"Sure" said Evelyn and noticed for what seemed the millionth time, the painting of a lavish manor and on the door of which stood a proud man with a cute baby in his hand. Zara's place was full of paintings of manors, kings and other royalties.
"Okay now girls. Be safe and don't be late." Said Andromeda as the girls headed towards the door.
"Where do you wanna shop first?" asked Evelyn.
"Of course. Zara first." Zara said and smirked.

After spending several hours in Zara and assuring Zara hundreds of times that her selected dress did show off her curves, they finally settled on a classic white lace dress and went for an after shopping drink to Starbucks.
"Ugh shopping is so exhilarating and tiring at the same time" yawned Zara. "I really need some caffeine to wake me. I'll have a cappuccino." She told the waitress.
"Sure madam. Be right back with your drink."
"Hey Zara listen, doesn't that odd guy in the corner look kind of cute? Hey there, cool it. Try to look casually". Evelyn playfully told Zara who had already turned her head an obvious 180 degrees.
They looked at the boy, who almost looked their age. He had piercing green doe shaped eyes and reckless blond hair. He had deep dark circles underneath his eyes but somehow managed to look good.
"Naah Evelyn. More like sullen"
"Yeah just like when you look when you don't get things your way." she said as Zara's cappuccino arrived.
As Zara drank her cappuccino, Evelyn noticed that the guy was continuously staring at them and then his phone, as if trying to compare something on the screen to the reality.
"C'mon. Its eight thirty already. We got to rush" said Zara and got up to dispose her coffee container. Evelyn nodded in agreement, picked up her purse and went towards the exit.
As Evelyn reached the double doors, her heart stopped as she heard her own screams being played again and again on a video on the boy's phone.

Sorry for the cliffhanger XD. But keep wondering. Who was that boy? Will we see any more of him? To know that, stay tuned! Smash the Vote button guys!
