Lost & Found [✔️]

XLVII

Delilah/Izzy's POV

I was still standing face to face with the guy. He seemed to be knowing me, or someone who looked like me because I did not recognize him. He called me Delilah, I heard the name before but it did not ring any bells. I saw the devastation in his eyes as he looked at me. There was a sincerity and honesty in his eyes and I knew this was not a prank or mix up. "I am sorry for your loss." I said as I saw the pain in his eyes also.

"My... loss?" He asked hesitant. I inhaled deeply as this was a stupid move. I figured he must have lost a loved one who looked like me and I was so dumb to say it out loud.

"I-" I tried to find the right words so I would not mess up again. "I just thought you had lost someone, someone like me..." I said softly so I would hurt him a little less, I guess. I saw his face drop and I had a sudden urge to hug him but I did not, he was a stranger to me and it would be weird if I hugged him.

"Would you mind to go on a walk with me? It is ok if you don't want to..." He asked barely above a whisper. I bit my lip as his eyes met mine again. There was something about him that made me trust him. I hesitated for a moment and looked over to Tal. He was still sitting at the table, not bothering to look over at me.

"Sure, let's go." I said to the guy in front of me. I looked back at him and saw the confusion and surprise in his eyes. I guess he did not expect me to agree. I smiled softly at him as we started to walk out of the cafe. I put my hands in my pockets as I did not know what to do or say. I had never met him before yet I felt like I did. There was just something about him but I could not figure out what it was. Maybe his eyes? You can tell a lot by someone's eyes. For starters, when a person is lying, he will not look you in the eyes but he will look away. This guy never looked away from my eyes, which made me somehow trust him. I had always learnt not to trust someone until they become vulnerable but my gut told me to come out of my shell and just go with it with this guy.

"I am Grayson by the way," He said and I looked at him as we walked down the streets. "Or did I already mention that?" He asked but to himself. I chuckled softly as I shook my head.

"I don't think so, or we both forget easily." I said. I did not pay attention to where we were heading but so did Grayson. "So, can you tell me about this person?" I asked him softly so I would not come over as rude. I saw we were entering a neighbourhood and smiled softly. I always loved neighbourhoods, they had something like intimacy. Everyone knew each other and relied on each other. Where I live we never even said hi to the neighbours.

"We used to live here," He said as we stopped in front of a house. Well, mansion I must say. It was a mansion every little girl dreamt of. It was a plain, white princess mansion. I smiled brightly as this girl from Grayson was a lucky one. "Do you wanna come in?" He asked as he unlocked the gate. I stood still for a moment as this was unusual to me. Never come into a stranger's house, but I wanted this. I walked onto the property and waited for Grayson who was locking the gate again. I did not think anything strange of it, since I knew a mansion like this needed to be protected. Grayson guided me to the stairs and the front door. For a moment I felt like I had a déjà vu but I knew that was not possible.

"Yo Gray! I have a new video idea," I heard someone say. When the person walked up to us I saw he looked the same as Grayson, with just a few different features. "Delilah..." He said. He said the same thing as Grayson from before and I immediately frowned. He had the same reaction as Grayson and I could not understand why.

"No, I am Izzy. Your brother thought I was that person too." I said. This guy must have been Grayson's brother as they looked exactly alike. The guy looked towards Grayson with raised eyebrows, looking for an explanation.

"Izzy, you can grab anything you want, I just need to make a little chat with my brother." Grayson said as he gently pushed me towards the kitchen aisle. When I stood in front of the fridge, Grayson walked away with his brother. I exhaled deeply as I looked around before I grabbed a wine glass and filled it with white wine. I sat down at the marble table as I looked through the place. It was an open kitchen and I had a close view to the living room. A giant, white piano stood in the corner besides the television. I looked down at the marble table as it all seemed so familiar. I closed my eyes and ran a hand through my hair as my head was fucking with me probably. I heard numbed voices in the distant and I knew it was Grayson with his brother. I guess the conversation got heated as I could hear them. I bit my lip as I felt like I was dreaming. Why did this place seem so familiar to me? I had never been here before yet I felt like it. I closed my eyes and drank my wine in one sip and stood up. I decided to look around more to find an explanation. Did I see it on pictures maybe? When I stood up and walked for a bit, I could feel myself becoming dizzy. Before I could hold on to something, I fell down to the ground, feeling my body becoming numb. My sight got blurry and eventually black. Delilah...
