The Lonely Aristocrat

Chapter 3

Lizza's POV.

It was the best date I could ever have. I spoke out my heart, laughed, mocked him and even had a meal I'm unable to remember the name. All was perfect, my anxiousness flew away in no time and I was happy until the moment he told me he'd to go earlier than he previously told me.

Just those words made me recentful about myself for judging him before knowing him and I had only one person to blame for that. Me. Me and only me for what happened. For almost 3 years, I've been looking at him like gum under my shoe untill previously.

I was so ashamed and gave him all the reasons in the world why that reaction from him was my reward for such a foolish behaviour.

I knew that the reason why he said he had to delay the remaining dates was either because he wanted to hurt me for hurting him and pushing him away all these years or he couldn't have control over himself and did not want us to finish in a hickey session like the last time we where alone, for us to part in good terms.

After this wonderful date with him, I opted for the second option. He was so much of a nice guy to want to hurt a girl with no defence nor support like me. 

After lamenting on my foolish ways I had to go to bed to prepare for the next day because my days in this city were counted.

The next morning I had my morning routine done but rather than going down to the shop to begin with my job, I went to the mall with Elliott. It was a Saturday so we had all day to ourselves, getting me prepared for my new academy year. Ms. Helena payed me for my work during this entire holiday giving me a lift telling me to get ready for my departure which was in few days. So, taking the remaining days off I had Elliott dragging me to his place and out for the weekend.

Elliott really has good taste for a guy. All the dresses he picked for me where very beautiful and just the ones I needed, so I took almost all of them except the ones he wanted me to wear for night clubs. I hated wearing revealing clothes so I refused those.

We had fun shopping together and I'll never forget the way he picked up a bra placed it on his chest for me to judge if the bra suited him while immitating when I usually walk around in his appartement looking for my dispersed clothes .

I tried to ignore him, he followed me around with it making me laugh and embarrassed at people's look while he was completely in his element untill someone from the personnel approached us to ask if there was a problem.

We bought a suitcase afterwards because mine was already too old to make any move out of the place I had already sealed it to.

We went directly to the library after we left the mall to get my salary from Mr. Andrew. He payed me and I signed out telling him my adieus before leaving the library I won't visit for some months or even years who knows?

We went back to my place in the shop as he helped me get all my bags into my little room placing them on the bed.

I got my bags packed and the other ones burned or given out for better use before returning to his appartement with all my belongings.

After that long and exhausting day, I had dinner with Elliott and went to bed after a comforting bath. I wasn't sure if I wanted to or not tell Elliott, realising I didn't tell him about what happened yesterday with Jason and before I could give it a second thought, I was fast asleep.

The rest of my days were spend in this manner. I had my bags arranged and my told goodbye to all my acquaintances. I was somehow greatful that Jason was gone few days before, if not I wouldn't be able to gather my thoughts and think straight after that date we had and the ones we would have had if he didn't delay them.
