When The Rain Falls - Book 1 by N, Y. (reading in the dark .TXT) 📖

actually went on a proper date out in London, it was sort of a stay in and have fun kind relationship back there. Especially with Theodore watching us every minute of the day.

 

Since we decided to date, being more of a thing was harder, cause the only time we ever spent alone together was in my room.

 

It was one night when Theodore went for a run with Carla, that was the best 40 minutes of my life. 

 

 

 The mansion, which i know call The Purple Palace, named after my purple room back in Rosewood, looking at the place again was marvelous just a view.

 

 

 

Several hours had passed, me and Jacob got ready for our date.

 

I put on so much perfume, maybe more than 6 sprits is enough, right?

 

 

And the stairs which lead to my room was designed in golden colors, and a wonderful staircase that was the best, especially when you walked down it.

 

You look like a movie star even in pajamas, heck! You can go down those stairs in a plastic bag and still look amazing.

 

 

My room has a lemon chiffon color, painted all over the walls and my bathroom is just stunning. I might say, better than the one i had in London.

 

I’m only 19 and i'm staying in a luxurious place like this, this is a teen’s dream come true.

 

 

I put on the beautiful dress I bought today when I went shopping with Jacob. I made sure he didn’t see me buy or pick it, because I wanted it to be a surprise for when I suggested earlier today we actually go on a date.

 

 

I hurry up and do one more sprit of my mom’s favorite perfume.

 

She loved the smell and so do I.

 

I walk out of my room and make my way to the staircase, where Jacob and a Chauffeur are talking.

 

 

I took one step on the staircase and they both shut up so I they can look at me. I come down at a steady pace, not to slow, I smile the whole time i walk down.

 

I stop at where Jacob was standing, he smiles saying.

 

 

He leans into me.

 

"You…look…beautiful, amazing, flawless." he whispers in my ear.

 

 I smile and whisper back.

 

''You look like a real gentlemen tonight.''

 

 

We take each other’s hands and walk to our limousine, which the chauffeur had waiting for us. 

 

''Ladies first.'' Jacob signals for me to go in.

 

I get in the limo and i'm surprised at how Jacob could be such a gentlemen.

 

 

And we were off, watching the view of the sunset slowly going down as were ride to the restaurant we made reservations for.

 

Watching the view and the sites from a car view makes it even more magical, like a fairytale.

 

 

We arrive just in time as the sun had went down and the sky looked like a bodacious blue and sapphire.

 

Jacob and I walk into the restaurant, like two lovely couples. It’s our first date, and we look a little overdressed, but it's perfect enough for no one to care.

 

 

''Reservations for two.'' Jacob says.

 

The waiter inside replies.

 

''Of course right this way, Mr. and the Miss.''

 

 

He leads us upstairs, our table is not in the building, but above. I see a table with flowers.

 

The waiter leaves us in peace. 

 

 

''Is this where we're eating tonight?'' I ask looking up at the sky.

 

Jacob looks at me in excitement then replies. ''Yes, I had it just reserved for us.''

 

Jacob walks me to the table and pulls out a chair for me to sit in.

 

 

''Thank you.'' I reply, he sits down across from me and almost out of nowhere we start talking about how wonderful the restaurant is and the dinner the waiter served us.

 

 

The dinner date was amazing we talked for what seemed like hours.

 

I had to admit, it is the best first date I've ever experienced and had in my life, and i’m really seeing who Jacob is overtime.

 

We leave the restaurant to walk on the roads, we talked and laughed and enjoyed each other’s company.

 

 

Later that night, we went on a ride through the beautiful neighborhoods of Paris which made looking at the houses at a better view, amazing.

 

 

Laughing after an incident with the ride, we ran to the Eiffel Tower, it was fun. In a romantic kind of way, he lifted me up into the air and i spread out my arms up like bird.

 

We actually had to chance to go up the Eiffel Tower and look at the view from above, but before going up, we went under the Eiffel Tower because Jacob had to talk.

 

''Elle...''

 

 

He paused then smiled and continued.

 

''You, out of all the girls who ever wanted me, you are the most special, fun, wonderful, most beautiful girl i've ever met.''

 

I replied smiling.

 

''I didn’t think you thought of me that way.''

 

 

''These past 3 months we spent together, from the first time we met till now, it’s been a roller coaster but keeping our relationship strong is most important to me and you.''

 

''You are the most handsome, romantic, gentlemen and boyfriend i ever had in my life and i’m proud to call you mine.''

 

''Well i’m happy to say i’m in love with you.'' he says.

 

 

I look him in the eyes, I always look at him when he makes me smile and at that moment I knew he loved me to.

 

''I’m in love with you too.''

 

 

He smiles then pulls me in for a kiss. Not on the cheek, not on the forehead, and not on my hands. But a real kiss, on the lips.

 

Words can’t even describe the way i feel or the kiss that happened (and to be exact my first kiss).

 

The kiss was sweet and enduring like the night would go on forever.

 

 

He lets go me slowly, like he never would in his life and his face leaves mine as we both smile at each other. Then we walk fast towards the entrance, where we can go up in an elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

 

 

 When we got to the top, I run for the rails and look down at where we previously were. The view of Paris, is a beautiful view from the Eiffel Tower.

 

 

I got so tired of thinking, I began drifting off almost falling down, but Jacob catches me before i could close my eyes.

 

I fell asleep in Jacob’s arms, not to make him carry me home, because i was super tired after all the fun we had.

 

We wouldn’t be able to talk about our day till tomorrow.

 

 

 I felt every single thing, from the wind blowing on the leather seats in the limo and most to the time Jacob held me. His coat was warm, which made me clench to him more when he carried me, he also smelled good like a real gentlemen.

 

 

I don’t know how long I was asleep, but it was long enough to realize that Jacob was in his room watching TV, I could hear the volume go higher from the hallway.

 

 

I finally woke up after seeing that i’m in my room.

 

Tonight was great. I drifted back to sleep looking up at the ceiling.

 

Chapter Seven: Here I Come

 

Claire's P.O.V

 

 

''Alright, i’m on the plane and i'm going to London.'' 

 

There’s a long pause before I answer.

 

 

''Yes, Chrissy I know i’ll find her in London. I’m not lying i’m gonna find her there and she’s coming home."

 

 I’ve been on this plane going to London for hours, being a mother sometimes sucks when you have a child who’s stubborn, especially being the mother of Elle.

 

''What kind of destiny do I have?'' i whisper under my breath.

 

 

I know what i have to do now. I’m gonna get my daughter back, no matter what it takes.

 

I just hope she’ll listen to me and when i tell her about Mumbai.

 

 

So many hours on a plane was not the best of my adventures in my entire life, but I made it to London and i hope someone here knows where Elle is.

 

 

After taking the tourist ride on the buses, I was set out to find Elle, I went to the police but there was no sign of her.

 

I checked the nearby parks, no sign. Finally I decided to check a synergy to see if she stopped by or went there till she found somewhereelse  to go.

 

 

I checked a place called ‘The Home of Runaways’ under a listing. What a weird name for a place teens would go to, maybe it has a reason to have that name.

 

I urge to knock on the door knowing this is probably the last place i would search for Elle again before finding the motivation to do it again. I take a deep breath.

 

I see big bold letters near the door

 

Home to All.

 

 

''Well here goes nothing.''

 

I knock on the door then wait a minute. I here footsteps coming towards the door. An older but young looking man answers looking down at me.

 

He answers. ''May i help you Ms.?''

 

I pause then answer.

 

 

''Yes, I’m looking for my daughter her name is Elle. Is she here? I’ve been searching for her for so long and the last place i remember her saying she wanted to go to was London. I thought she might be here.''

 

His eyes rose at the mention of Elle he looked surprised when i finished talking.

 

 

''Yes i know Elle, she was previously here a few months ago, but she left somewhere I don’t know.''

 

He reached to close the door quickly.

 

I push the door open against him.

 

 

He stops and opens the door again to ask me something.

 

''You know Elle?'' he replies with a downward face

 

''Yes.'' i said re-adjusting my purse.

 

Which had almost flown off my arm from the door pushing.

 

 

''How long has she been here in London?'' i ask steadying my voice from sounding excited.

 

 

''About 3 months, before she left to the airport with Jacob to go somewhere, she only told Carla our house maid the details about where she and Jacob were going but not me.''

 

 

I look at him confused.

 

''Wait, Elle left with some guy, and where is this Carla? I need to speak to her.''

 

I rush in the looking around till I spot a young lady cleaning the couch, I shout.

 

''You. Are you Carla?''

 

She replied confused. ''Yes?''

 

 

I walk over to her as if i want to fight, but i calmly respond.

 

''Do you now where my daughter went with this guy Jacob?''

 

She smiles then answers happily.

 

''Oh, you're the lady who called Elle 2 months ago, yeah she left with Jacob who happens to be her boyfriend to…..” Carla pauses then realizes she said to much

 

 

''I’m not suppose to tell anyone, Elle told me not to say a word while she was gone. A promise''

 

I give a mad look at Carla.

 

 

''Well, where is she now with her boyfriend?'' I ask.

 

 

Carla smiles after trying to figure out how to tell me where Elle was.

 

''I can tell you she’s still here in Europe, you just have to find her.''

 

 

''Well this is a disaster.'' I said pacing back and forth.

 

The old man from the door, walks in to the living room after ease dropping.

 

''Who are you Ms.?''

 

 

I look at him with furious eyes then reply calmly.

 

''I’m Elle’s mother.''

 

 

In shock Carla and the old man look at me gasping.

 

The old man starts leading me towards the door.

 

''I’m sorry Mrs. Woods, but this is a place for teens, not mothers who seeks their child. I'm going to ask you to leave please.''

 

 

I almost yell and bicker.  

 

No one in the house listened to
