Chapter 6 - another encounter

The sound of that man's voice had such a smooth sound that almost sounded like 19th century British. as her heart started beating faster realizing that it was the same voice from earlier that day she responded "umm yes !!!sorry I wasnt expecting anyone here since the party is inside."still not able to see him clearly she backed up as he got closer.

"I apologize if I frightened you. I was walking around the garden before I head inside. I enjoy the outdoors since there is so much beauty that many don't see." He continued walking into the light seeing as the young brunette looked a bit startled by not seeing who she was speaking to.Recognizing her bright blue, almond shaped eyes ,and her glowing pale skin that reminded him of snow he realized she was the shy innocent looking girl that bumped into him at the park.

As the man walked into the light ,Liv saw that he was indeed the mystery man from the park. There was no mistaking his perfectly built body,blonde hair ,and deep blue eyes.She felt like she was in a dream watching him get closer. She thought he looked handsome before ,but seeing him in a grey suit with a maroon tie really made her heart beat uncontrollably. In her mind there was no one who can compare to him at that very moment.Feeling that this was her opportunity to make up for earlier that day she decided to talk to him.

"oh...thats true. For once I meet someone who can actually compare to me for a change"she said nervously.

"you as well like the outdoors?"he questioned.

"yes,I love to read outdoors when the weather permits and paint.i have been told to find other hobbies but aside from playing music ,I would rather read and paint"liv continued sitting back down the fountain staring at his reflection as he sat by as well.

" I think its foolish for someone to tell you that.You would be too if you give up on all you love just to satisfy others."looking up at him as he finished his sentence liv smiled blushing at his gaze "thank you..."she replied. "well there is no need to thank me,I'm only saying the truth"he said grinning at her. chuckling at his words liv looked back down into the waters reflection. How can such a simple girl like her get the opportunity to speak with someone like him?

" I'm referring to earlier today...at the park."she replied embarrassed at her actions from earlier.

"ahh so the beautiful mystery woman is revealed.I knew it was you the moment I saw your eyes. I wished for an opportunity to see you again thinking that those chances were near impossible ,but thank my lucky star I find you at the most unexpected place." looking at her eyes and shy face he could tell there was much more to her than an angelic voice and beautiful face.

Blushing at his unexpected words and surprised that he remembered her she stayed speechles for a few seconds."I'm really not all you describe me to be but thank you for your kind words."

"tell me love ,why did you run off?to be honest I never expected someone to run off on me like that.it really did surprise me but it left me wondering who you were and if I would ever see you again."he gazed at her.

"I'm really sorry...i ..felt so embarrassed and to be honest I have never seen you around before. you really surprised me."she quickly explained." would you find it childish if I told you I fell in love with your smile"liv joked trying to not sound like a nervous wreck.

Giving her a big smile he laughed "I dont find it childish at all. I never believed in love at first sight but yet I seem to have proved myself wrong once.It seems that it is possible to fall in love multiple times.in fact there was a time I didnt believe in it at all."

"so that means....never mind"of course it was to good to be true.he was all ready taken.how foolish can I be thinking that he was single and actually wanting to talk with me to get to know me better liv thought.

Seeing disappointment on her face he realized what she was thinking." dont get me wrong I don't mean another woman. what I mean is..."he was saying when they got interrupted by a mans voice calling out to someone from a distance.

"I've got to to go back inside before they come out here looking for me.it was nice talking with you"liv said as she got up and started walking out of the garden towards the building where everyone was.seeing her disappear a voice calls out to him from behind."seems like she left you again brother,did you at least get a name this time?"

" no I didnt get a chance to ask her ...but from what I heard it's liv. it suits her."he said looking at the direction she left.

"well there is no need to stand around here.lets get back before our sister throws a fit about our late arrival."the other voice said.

"instead of standing around spying at who I was speaking with you should have gone inside Carter but let's go inside and join all the festivities."

Liv was already outside the entrance back inside when she realized that for the second time of seeing him she again didnt get a name.debating whether to go back or go inside she stood there frozen.

Walking towards her Theo quickly grabbed her hand pulling her inside. "There you are I was beginning to worry that you had completely left the party. let's go back inside. they are about to start introducing the owners of the Hayes entertainment.lets go back to our table."

"it seems that she is taken already brother"carter smirked

"so it seems ... lets head inside introductions should be starting"he replied to his brother as they both walked inside.
