TOO YOUNG TO FALL IN LOVE

Chapter Three

Could the eye contact be the reason why he's here ? I didn't even know when that happened or could he be here for other reasons? I kept hoping he would say a word of why he was here but then he spoke.

In all of my few years of attending functions events and programmes like this have never seen someone sing so melodiously.

You might be wondering why I said a few years that's because I'm more into my space I don't attend parties nor functions .

I started of recent. it was an advice from my concierge physician I started having migraines and illusions of late because I'm always by myself.

I'm Raymond sneils it's nice meeting you... I believe you're Olenna right ?

My heart skipped I couldn't help but ask .. how do you know my name ?

He then gave a faint smile then said he heard a friend of mine call out for me but I was too far away to hear the call.

Immediately after I asked if there was anything else he then said that was all and he would be taking his leave .

Almost immediately he said that he made his way out I then realised myself but couldn't help but mutter about what just happened I decided to make my way home so as to forget about all that happened on getting home I met my mother in the living room she seemed to be on a call with my father who was a stern business man.

He was always on one business trip or another he only came home a few times in six months .

My mother sighted me then informed my father of my arrival I was handed over the phone to speak to him as expected my father was always so loving and caring to me just like my mother .

I was always treated as a princess as the only child. After some minutes we were done with the call I wanted to make my way upstairs to my room but then my mom called me back then unexpectedly said she noticed I have not been myself since I got back from college yesterday.

My defence instinct kicked in so as for me not to give into what she was asking I then rather discarded it that it was all due to the stress from school.

Just about as I was about to take my leave my mother said she saw on the news about the visit of the young billionaire Raymond sneils to my college.

The mention of the name made my heart beat speed up a lot I couldn't give a response for some seconds before I briefly ascertained what she saw.

In all my years of identifying my mother have never seen her get so interested in such things but this was different she kept asking questions about if I had a chance to speak to the young billionaire or if we by any chance met.

In that moment I flashed back to when our eyes met while I was still on the podium floor but I casually answered her saying we never met then ran upstairs towards my room to avoid further questions.

On getting to my room I couldn't help but ponder on the questions my mother asked.. why was he really staring at me ? Was it intentional or accidental? Could there be a motive behind the stare.

I found myself realising it was mostly possible is eyes would have lingered on me much longer if I hadn't left.

I kept deliberating on what the notion behind the stare could have been. Was it intentional? After all he still approached me at the locker room why me out of everyone else.

"What's his motive for doing all this? Or Did he take me for someone else ?" If that was the case he wouldn't have come to speak after the stare all these questions kept lingering in my mind with no answers to them.

Something about him felt suspicious and approached me like he had a lot to say but only made a few statements but then left after I asked if there was something else he wanted to speak about.

Why would someone of his elite status notice someone like me it all made me confused.

"Did that really happen? Or am I imagining things again?"

I could still hear his voice like he's presently here .

"Olenna you can talk to me, you know...."

Mother for how long have you been there?

My mother walked directly to me sat right by me and asked me what was wrong. I told her nothing was the problem as I was just rehearsing for my drama scene for tomorrow's lecture. After a few moments my mother left I'm sure it's not because she felt satisfied with my response but just wanted to let me be and expected me to come around much later but what she didn't know is that this scenario is a different one entirely.

In order to avoid further hallucination I picked up my book to glance through what was thought to understand it much better. Pretty much after some time I wanted to revise back what I have read then unknowingly penned down Raymond sneils into my jotting exercise I felt so much rage and anger within me I felt not in control of myself anymore.

I then stormed into my bed to relax myself and forget about all that's happening around me before long I went off the rail. During my sleep I felt a calm strong voice tone call out my name.

For a brief second.... I could have sworn I heard his voice again.

Soft distant.

"Olenna......"

My eyes snapped open.

All I could hear was nothing.... "Nothing but silence"

I sat up immediately my breathing uneven.

"That's impossible" I muttered.

It must be my imagination.

It had to be.

But still yet..... The feeling lingered.

I reached for my phone absentmindedly staring at it as though expecting something to appear.

A message.

A call.

Or anything at all.

But there was nothing.

I slowly placed the phone down.

Right beside me.

I laid down.

Looked into the darkness.

Confused.

Restless.

And for some reason unknown.....

Unable to forget him.
