Estella's Pov
"So Estella tell me about yourself"
"O-oh, well I'm seventeen, and I'm from Canada, I don't think theres really anything else exciting about me" I stutter. "Well Estella I am positive there are many special and exciting things about you" Chase smiles, and so do I.
I get to nervous to reply, ever since I saw him around 10 minutes ago I can't be normal. Every time he smiles it's as if i'm seeing baby ducks in a garden of flowers. Or when he says my name, theres just something different about it. I might seem stupid, well of course I am, I only met this man 10-15 minutes ago. Right now I cant help but wonder if he feels the same. If I make him have butterflies, or make him have goosebumps when I laugh, I wonder if he feels like the worlds complete when I look at him. Wait. No. We are merely friends. I sigh quietly at my stupid tendencies to catch feelings too quickly. Though I bet you if you saw him and he helped you out of the rain, you would be feeling the exact same.
The two of us were sitting on the couch silently, but a nice silence. Calming, not awkward, but some how therapeutic in its own special ways.
I look at Chase and he soon looks at me with a big smile, he has a gorgeous smile. No, no I didn't say that. I jump when I hear the sound of a door opening and I hear Chase mutter "shoot" under his breath quietly. He jumps up from the couch and runs his hands through his hair. I wonder whats happening. Chase then looks out the window and it stopped raining, still cloudy but it stopped. He looks at me motioning me to follow him and get up. So I do. We go into the kitchen of his house and then out the back door quickly and we end up in the backyard of his home.
I look at him in confusion and he nods his head saying he will explain soon. "Hey um Chase what's wrong?" I ask nervously. "O-oh um, I-I'll explain once we get out of here" he says sounding a little scared. I nod and follow him as he begins walking down his street and into downtown. I keep quiet walking beside him, still wondering why we left once that person opened the door. I see Chase stop walking and I quickly follow the action. His breath sounds a little shaky and I still remain extremely confused.
"Um, look, I could explain but you don't want to here my stupid life okay? Just tell me where you are staying and I-I'll give you directions or something" Chase says. I frown at his words. "No. You helped me so I want to help you. I mean without you I could have caught a cold, and who wants to be sick while on vacation" I said slightly smiling trying to lighten the mood. He gives a very small smile in return. "I should really get you back okay? You know you should probably get back to your hotel or something, you probably have a friend um waiting for you" Once he says that I feel kind of sad, I mean I thought I might have made a friend or something. I only met him less then an hour ago, but still I would like to have more friends then Juliet. "Yeah I-I guess your right. I'm sure I can find my way back or something. Thanks for the clothes, if you want me to return them I'll try to remember the way back if I can. Sorry for being a bother" I say as I turn to start walking. "Estella wait" he says as he grabs onto my wrist. "Look I-I'm sorry. Just theres a lot of stuff you don't know about me, and I don't want to tell you yet. Just please don't go. I mean maybe we can hang out for a little more or something. B-but if you don't want to it's fine don-" I cut Chase off by laughing and saying "Yes I would love to" . Chase smiles and the sparkle in his gorgeous green eyes are back. I lock my arm with his as we start walking around town.
(Time skip to a few hours)
Chase and I have been going into random stores around town for a few hours, and it's probably the most fun thing I have done in a while. We went inside clothing stores, antique stores, Jewellery stores, and basically every store that we could find. I even somehow got Chase to try on a dress, which was the worlds most hilarious thing ever.
Flashback to 1 hour ago
"Chaseee come on try this on" I say smiling while holding out a pink dress in my hands. He looks at me in horror and shakes his head so much I think it might fall off. "Come onnn. For me?" I say while giving the best puppy dog eyes I possibly can. He stomps his feet slightly like a child having a temper tantrum. I laugh as he surprisingly takes the dress out of my hands and walks into the dressing rooms. The dressing room was only a room with a curtain for a door in the back of the store we were in.
"Oh god Estella I am soooo getting you back for this" Chase says while inside the dressing room. I giggle loudly as some other shoppers look at me. I mumble a "sorry" in embarrassment. But soon go back to laughing. He sighs and slowly pulls the curtain away which finally reveals Chase in a frilly pink dress. As soon as he comes out I put my hand over my mouth in hopes to muffle my laughter, but it wasn't working that well because of how loud I was laughing. Chase looked at me with annoyance and I just kept on complimenting him saying things like "wow Chase with that outfit you can be on the next cover of worlds hottest guys" or "Ohhh Chase your such a pretty pretty princess".
After the last "compliment" he gave a sarcastic laugh and started smiling. He soon then went back to the changing room to get out of the dress that he surprisingly put on in the first place. Once he came out we started laughing again like total idiots and the employees were looking at us like we were insane, and later asked us to leave from causing "To much disturbance to the other shoppers".
After getting kicked out we continued our fun adventure and voyaged to other stores.
Present time
I smile remembering him in a dress, which hopefully I will never forget, as well as remembering how fun I was and still am having with him. We are walking down the street when I look at him. Like really look at him. Thats when I realized. Oh god, I like Chase.
