First love

In the washroom...

Rachel was busy patching her face with make-up...

Outside the washroom, at the entrance, Violet was busy pondering over her thoughts laying her back on the wall and was thinking was Natalia may be doing. Waiting for Rachel was like getting old !!!

She observed the people passing through the aisle.

All of them were in her age group and looked pretty lively.

But an uncanny happened when for the first time her eyes caught the attention of a man and shivers ran down her body. He was in his twenties and could be exclaimed as the most handsome boy she has ever seen. His face shone and his facial features proved that He was God's perfect creation. Black eyes that hid a lot of mystery and seemed like changing their colour to blood red. His perfect chiselled shaped chest, long arms and legs were pushed against a perfect black coloured Tom fort suit. At last in every aspect, from his brown hair to his toes hidden by Louis Vuitton loafers, he was perfect. Also, his personality was clear cut as he emitted coldness but somehow managed to warm Violet's heart.

He was indeed different because Violet's heart that had never beaten for anybody, with just a sight of him started pounding very fast. She stared at his eyes and seemed to be lost in them. It seemed to her that she had a long lost connection with him.

All of a sudden she shuddered when that guy looked back at her and spoke something with a concerned look but she was unable to catch his words cause of the loud music. She doubted if she had met him before and maybe had forgotten. But it was impossible to forget such a domineering man like him.

She exclaimed, " uhh, what-", narrowing her eyes.

Suddenly, a drunk man forcibly hit her from the back making her lose her balance. She stumbled and fell down but on a warm cosy cushion and didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes to find that she lay there in the arms of that handsome man who kept staring at her. She was consumed by him and stared at his eyes which felt like she had seen them thousands of times.

They stayed in that position staring at each other neither of them speaking. It was like they had lost themselves in each other. But they suddenly shuddered and came back to their right minds when

" VIOLLET!!! Finally, I m done.", called out Rachel heading out of the washroom but was shocked to see them in the position. " Ummm... I  think I came at the wrong time, bye ."

Violet blushed and regaining control over her emotions she exclaimed at Rachel, " My dear, do you plan to stay forever in the washroom?"

"Not really, hehe..." Rachel turned and stared at that man who was staring at Violet with pretty eyes.

"Thank you so much! I-," Violet thought of coming up with some words but completely forgot when she stared back at him. She was so confused ... she had never felt like that. Was it what they called love at first sight? But it felt like she knew a thousand lifetime. No way, she thought.

"My pleasure, my lady!", she was completely mesmerised by his voice that she felt like she was in a new universe. But interesting he had no expression on his face.

Without further delay, Violet asked the question she's been thinking about, " Sir, did we meet  before?", furrowing her brows.

"Uhh-, maybe... or maybe not." He smirked. This was the first time his facial features showed any difference but the difference was bad as Violet was drawn more closer into him. She wondered if he was really cold?

She was confused but leaving that matter behind she gained the courage for her mysterious feelings and asked his name. The reply came with a warm gaze " Edward -" but was interrupted halfway by Rachel whose eyes seemed to glitter " -Lioncourt, I m your big fan!".

Then she whispered to Violet, "u don't know him? He is the organiser here and the youngest as well as the coldest billionaire in town ."

God ! 'How embarrassing' Violet wondered !

It would have been really good for her to be updated with the news.

She regained from her embarrassment .

"Oh really, I'm sorry... anyways I m Violet Roséwither, nice meeting you." Violet exasperated extending her hand to him.

He gladly accepted it but instead drew her hand towards his lips and gently kissed the back of her palm, " nice meeting you too.". For a minute she was confused if he just acts to be cold or was especially warm towards her.

Violet felt a shiver run from her hand through her whole body. She couldn't believe how Edward affected her. She felt connected to him so much and wondered if he felt that too.

Edward lowered her hand gently loosening the grip, Violet reflected by drawing her hand away from his. Suddenly he glared at her necklace like inspecting whether she had it or not, and after observing it for a good 5 seconds let out a sigh of relief.

But on the other hand, Violet could not remove her eyes off him and Rachel was busy observing them both and giggling.

"Ladies, would you like to join me with the VIP guest?", an pretty unexpected question from Edward shocked Violet.

Rachel nodded enthusiastically like she already knew it was coming  "Yes! We would love to."

But Violet hesitated, "-but Natalia".

" Vio, you don't want to spoil her fun right. I know she ain't leave her guy and come. Let's go!!!", Rachel reasoned out like it was a lifetime's opportunity. Well, that was true, Violet couldn't deny it and agreed.

Edward led their way followed by Violet who was admiring him from the back followed by Rachel who was busy scanning the environment of the surrounding.

As they walked past the people, Edward was approached by many people but it turned out he was cold to all of them. It was true he was a leading figure whom many people admired but as true to his identity, he was one of the coldest people on earth.

Nevertheless, each time a female approached Edward, Violet's heart shank into the abyss and clenched her fingers. But Violet looked puzzled, she never felt these feelings before.

"Uh- I smell someone burning", a voice came about from behind. Violet turned to see Rachel giggling, " did my dear Violet fall in love?!"

Violet didn't reply and pondered if she had fallen in love.

Meanwhile, Edward was observing Violet from the corner of his eyes and smirked. " Hmm.."

He held out his hand to Violet and grabbed her clenched fist, soothing it for her to relax. Violet's heart started pumping like a car travelling at full speed. It felt so nice!

"Oh my -." Rachel hooted.

"Let's go, Violet." Edward led her. Violet couldn't stop blushing and her cheeks turned hot red. On the other hand, all the other people observing them were shocked to see Edward's warm side.

"Unbelievable, should I capture a photo......Our ice king melted finally.......Whose that girl?...... she is very pretty", came different remarks from the people around. Edward gazed at them with domineering eyes and all went silent.

Finally, after going through the main hall hand in hand and followed by Rachel they reached the main hall. Violet had no idea where she was as she was completely consumed by Edward's touch.

They entered a stairway that led to a magnificent upper hall. There were not many people in that hall. Rachel went inside before them and grabbed the pastries. It appeared like Rachel could adapt anywhere in any condition.

Something caught Edward's eyes in the corner of the hall and he cautiously let go of Violet's hand, " Miss Violet, take your time here. I'll be back after meeting some important guest."

Violet nodded, " yes, thank you." He patted her head smiling, " take care, Miss Violet.", but his eyes seemed to be in pain.

Violet looked at him with wide eyes feeling a warm sensation. She felt like she wouldn't let go of his hand. She wondered how the cold man could turn into such a gentle guy.

"Cya miss.", he drew away his hand waving his hand

'Cya', replied his fading figure who almost disappeared in the corner.

She went beside Rachel who was busy feasting and grabbed a plate with a piece of brownie.

Simply moving the cutlery, she pondered about her new arisen feelings. After a good minute of thinking,

she finally confirmed her wondering thoughts that she had fallen in LOVE with him.

"Love at first sight but a connection that seems like a thousand lifetimes." She thought but she was well aware that it was not the first time she met Edward.

" Well, my lady, did you fall in love?", asked Rachel in a sarcastic tone looking at Violet with keen eyes and a smile up to her sleeves.

Violet didn't hesitate after realising her heart and answered Rachel honestly, " Seems like I have already fallen."

Mysteriously, Rachel's expression turned gloomy, " well that was mean to happen." Violet narrowed her eyes asking, " huh, what do you mean?"

" I don't know if I m happy or sad knowing that you fell in love again. Just be careful this time, dear. Nobody wants to lose you." Rachel answered Violet with gloomy eyes.

Violet remained star-struck, not able to catch what she heard.

She was about to question but was interfered.

"BANGggg!!" 

A loud shriek noise came about silencing the whole club followed by a loud thunderous uproar of people running about in the down hall.

Oh no someone was SHOT!
