II - Nice Guy

Theodore's Point Of View

I saw a beautiful lady, she's so cute especially when she realized that she's the only one who wasn't bowing down.

I walked closer as if I'm attracted to her. As our proximity is getting closer and closer my heart was beating irregularly, I feel like I'm palpitating. As I looked closer to her, her mouth was agape and her saliva is dripping down to her neck. I hurriedly submerged my palm inside my pocket and searched for my hanky, when I felt a soft material that was pressed against my palm I grasped the hanky before pulling it out and handing it to her.

"Miss your saliva is dripping." I said while smiling so sincerely to her. She gladly accepted it and used it to wipe her saliva.

"I'm so sorry sir. And thank you for lending me your handkerchief I promise I'll wash it and give it back to you." She bowed down.

Her voice is so beautiful. Her voice is like an angel. She's so beautiful and cute.

"It's okay. And you can keep that." I said.

I slowly back away and before letting out a chuckle.

I'm looking forward to seeing her more often.

I turned around and walked towards my brothers.

"Hey, Who's that pretty lady?" Brian whispered.

"I don't know her name yet," I said and looked at him. He was practically staring at her.

I flicked his forehead making him emit a groan and he was frantically caressing his forehead.

"Hey. I know you, Brian. Don't try to play with her feelings. She's different." I said and crossed my arms.

He ruffled his hair and licked his lips seductively.

"Yeah, she's different. That's why I feel so attracted to her." He said and smirked at me.

My brother Brian Ford, 22 years old. Who is infamously ladies' man. His innocent face is contradictory to his motives and intention.

Before I could react, scold or nag him.

"Do you want to stay there forever?" Alex said as he was leaning against the door, waiting for us to go inside.

He is the oldest among us yet he looks so young. He is 27 years old. A tall man with good manners but he always boasts his beautiful face. It's true though but sometimes I find it irritating.

We both averted our gazes to him and he was tapping his right foot while patiently waiting for us to go inside.

I immediately stepped forward, leaving Brian behind.

We walk inside the mansion. I stopped abruptly, as I look around the foyer. A luxurious chandelier was hanged up at the center of a domed ceiling, A gold crystal beaded metal trumpet vase filled with white lisianthus was neatly placed at the center table.

"Oh! My grandsons come here." A voice said somewhere.

We looked around and our gazes stopped at the sinistral part. Where the living room was located.

We saw a familiar figure who is motioning us to go there.

We hurriedly made our way towards him and pull ourselves in a group hug.

"Grandpa we missed you!" Kyle said when we pulled away from the hug.

Kyle is the smartest. He is literally a walking encyclopedia. He prefers books over people.

My Grandfather looked at us one by one. "You all look more handsome. Thanks to me." He said and all of us burst into laughter.

After our small talk. "You should rest now, Elise will accompany you to your rooms." He said and we all nodded. "Elise!" He yelled.

A lady comes dashing while looking down. "What is it, sir?" She said.

She is the lady, that cute and beautiful lady.

Her name is beautiful and so is she.

"Accompany them to their rooms." He said and she nodded.

When she travels her gaze she met mine and we both lock our gazes at each other. Everything seems invisible like it was just the two of us.

"Elise!" My grandfather snapped at her and she said 'Sorry' then she lead us to our rooms.

She was sitting on a bench. She was drawing something with her sketch pad and pencil.

I slowly made my way towards her, without making any noise, and quietly sat down beside her.

"Hello, sir." She spoke out.

She closed the sketch pad and look at me with her pretty eyes.

Our gazes locked for a moment as awkwardness engulfed the atmosphere.

She looked away shyly while fidgeting her fingers.

I stare at her. She's more beautiful when up close.

And her side profile is no joke.

She's beautiful from any angle.

I cleared my throat, pretending to look around.

"Oh Hi! Is this your favorite spot?" I asked and she shifted her gaze to me and nodded.

"Hmm. I will grab this opportunity to thank you again, sir." She genuinely said.

"Uh. You're welcome and you don't have to call me sir, just call me Theodore." I said while pulling my sincerest smile to make her comfortable.

"Okay, si--Theodore." I giggled at her small mistake while patting her head.

A rosy red crept on her well-defined cheeks making her look down in embarrassment.

I slowly retract my hand from her head.

I shifted my gaze in front awkwardly as I smile sheepishly.

"You love roses?" I asked, trying to lighten up the awkwardness that was engulfing us.

I can feel her smiling genuinely.

"Super!" She squealed as she giggled.

And that's how my best memory was created.

~*~

I'm staring at the ceiling as I reminisce the moment I had with Elise.

My arms are above my head while I was smiling like crazy.

We have some things in common.

Such as we both love Ne-Yo, our favorite desserts were milk pudding, eclairs and many more.

And she's a simple girl with a big heart.

Lastly, I adore her, so much.
