First Love

Chapter 2(Public News)

    I arrive in front of my company right at 2:30 I spot a group reporters.I quickly pass by them before they notice me.I park into the employees parking lot due to the fact that they would never think that I would degrade myself that way.I turn off my car and unbuckle myself,I quickly put on a mask over my face and sunglasses.I get out of my car and wake to the front entrance of my company,praying they wouldn't spot me.As I get closer to the entrance I realized one of the reporters started looking at me suspiciously .

“Ma’am do I know you” he asks while looking at me trying to pinpoint who I am.

“I don't think so sir”I say rapidly hoping to get away before he attracts more attention.

He stares at me for a few more seconds before recognition flashes through his eyes .

“Ahhh, Miss Queen,would you do me the honor of answering a couple questions.”he asks, blocking my path while I am trying to leave.

    As soon as the words left his mouth the reporters start to crowd around,suffocating me .Soon every reporter is throwing questions at me.I quickly recall the bottom in my jacket which is for emergencies such as these.I rapidly press the button 3 times signifying the need of bodyguard outside the company.Minutes later my personal bodyguards arrive getting the reporters away from me.Finally some breathing space I thought.THey slowly but surely lead me the rest of the way to the company making sure the reporters got to closer than nessicary.One in I walk into the elevator and go to the 6th floor where my office is located.I walk out of the elevator onto the tile floor,My assistant rapidly stands from he desk the minute she spots me.She runs to my side and sayings.

“At 3:30 you have a press conference which is in about 40 minutes.At 5:00 you are hosting the annual charity gala you and your parents always hosted.Then finally a young man found a way to squeeze his name into your agenda.Which signifies you have a dinner date at 9:00”she says stopping while wiggling her eyebrows I slightly smile.

“Okay well,have you printed out the speech I sent you”reply then continues walking out of the corner of my eye,I notice that she tries to remember.

Seconds later she says”Ohh yes here it is”then pulls out 2 pages out from her clipboard right as we arrive at my office.

    I sit in my chair receiving the papers  then dismiss her I sit in my office chair and start resightin the words on the page.The press needed confirmation of the accident,they want to know what is to be done due to this.Also about the further actions of the company professionally.It stated where and when my parents died and the investigation that followed.IT also explained that later in the day our company would host the annual charity galla.Plus what I am to do after this day.

20 minutes later

    I successfully was able to mesmerize my speech I stand from my desk and go into the bathroom connected to the office.I retouch my make up an fix my hair.I walk out of office and call Lily my assistant and tell her it's time to go.We both get into the elevator and start to head down,the elevator dings then opens.We head to one of the hotels that I own which is were the conference is held.We walk in through the back due to the fact that it is already full,due to the fact that it'll start in about 10 minutes.

        Soon after I walk onto the podium ready to start my speech.Just waiting for the reporters to quiet down the soon do quiet down.So I take a deep breath and commence my speech

“My parents on May 13 at 4:00 were found dead underwater around the Manhattan bridge.It saddens me at the thought of going on without them yet I very well know that they would want me to improve there company and to help others.So I very well plan to follow there dreams of the companies future.The death of my parents was no accident we are following through with an investigation to find the murder of my parents and put then to justice.I will take a week off of anything related to my company to have some time to myself to mourn.I will still get informed to see how the investigation is going.I will keep everyone updated on the investigation when I receive further news.We are also hosting our first charity gala without them today at 5:00 this afternoon.If anyone have further questions my assistent Lilly will gladly answer them”I say while walking off the podium just as Lilly walks on it.

    Once I'm out of the public's eyes I feel tears start to stream down my face the wound once again opened.I walk into my car and bang my head onto the steering wheel.My facade falling I start driving home I slowly realize what a bad idea that was.My tears had started to blur my vision causing my car to swerve occasionally.I quickly pull over to get a hold on my feelings so that my tears dont blur my vision and make me crash.Once my tears reside I go back into the road and drive home.

    Once I arrive home slowly start heading to my room I can only hear the clacking of when my heels hit the floor.I go to sit at my desk chair and start to look around my room.My room took the shape of and L.On the short side of the L is where my bed was located it is squished between all three walls.It is gifted up from the floor about 24 inches with small stairs on the side.My bed sheets are the color of soft chamois cream and the pillows are a bit of a darker shade of the same color.On the longer side it has a large tv surrounded by one ivory u[holersterd twin daybed and two upholstered armchairs are both sides of the couch.On the wall across from that one is a 7’ by 10’ room  which is a little library it is filled with some of my favorite ones.My parents occasionally would fill it with new books I though with a sad smile.Then in the corner where the little room and living room collide there is a spiral staircase that leads to the bathroom and the closet and it also has a full sized bed two it is also like the other one.Their is a railing to make sure that no one falls.The bed is placed in the right side of the wall surrounded by 2 night stands.At the foot of the bed lies a ivory upholstered twin daybed.Then there is a door right in front of it which leads to the bathroom.In the bathroom is a clawfoot bathtub and a standing shower then a sink in the middle.Connected to the bathroom is another room which is a two story closet.That can be accessed from the second story bathroom and the first floor bedroom.Where the bed and living room are located are full wall windows on the whole side from the first floor all the way to the second floor.It gives a view of the woods behind our house,although if i want privacy there are automatic blinds.

    I check the time and see that is is 3:00 I stare it for a bit before realizing that I have to start getting ready.I get up and start towards the spiral staircase,once on the second floor I walk into the bathroom and take a shower.Once I am done I wrap the towel tightly around me and step out of the shower.I look towards the mirror only to realize int is fill of fog,giving up I just start to head to my closet.

    I walk into my closet and head towards the spiral staircase and start towards the first floor of my closet.When I arrive I head towards my dress section it is color sectioned,from neutrals to darker colors.

    I pull out one of my ball gowns one of my favorite might I add.When I first was able to attend I found it strange why we wore ball gowns.I would always think we no longer live in the 1900 why can't we keep up with the years when it comes to these type of events.I later found out this charity gala was just a way to show off wealth.They would were the most expensive and elegant ball gowns and donate a absurd amount of money to prove they were richer than anyone one else's present.

    This year I have chosen incredibly popular designer from France,although he is a designer no one knows who he is or how he looks.SO technically he is famous yet now one knows how he looks.Although he goes by they name Grayson although we all know it is fake.Many people have done investigation to found out who he is but over time they gave up and just dealt with it.Although they consider him one of the most eligible bachelors in France.I personally find it funny because who names a guy the have NEVER seen one of the most eligible bachelors.

    Well either way he he made me a one of kind dress that I myself drew while he created the actual dress.I found it incredibly weird how he enhanced the dress and made it astonishingly beautiful.I merely drew a white at the top of the ball gown that slowly turn to black but he embroidered gold swirls in the dress.It was like we could read each other's mind and know what we want.Well that how it was for me but I personally sent him a letter to show my gratitude to him.I really hope that he finds love ne day and lives a long and happy love.

    I slide into the dress and walk to a my full wall mirror.I look into the mirror amazed,the dress fit like a glove it was not to tight or too loose it was just….perfect.I looked at the colors in amazement instead of it being horribly blended into black.It was perfect.Flawless.Unique.IT was just like no other.A letter came with the dress it had stated that the dress first cloth was water proof in case of any rain came unsuspectedly.”Grayson” also gave me a  waterproof cardigan which was white also for the rain.Also in the letter it also included that “Grayson thought that y dress design as splendid and that if in the future I were to need a designer to give him a call.I was astonished when I read that part because the phone number that he gave me was not his store one but the company one.Which none of his customers had access to.He also said that I would definitely steal the show.

    I glass at the mirror one more time before I start to walk to the vanity.On my vanity is eyeshadow,lipstick,bronzer and any other type of makeup organizer.Each organizer had its own specific type of makeup,every single makeup present here was one of my favorite makeup brands..

    I sit at my vanity and look that the eyeshadow first that is when I one in particular catches my eye.I pull it out and realize it was the LES 4 OMBRES,which technically is a multi effect quadra eyeshadow which I had recently bought.I observe it for a but more before deciding to use it.I then look at the lipstick side instead of picking a lipstick I go more towards the lip balms.I pick out one that is called ROUGE COCO BAUME it's a white hydrating conditioning lip balm.When it comes mascara I decide on the LE VOLUME DE CHANEL WATERPROOF.I specifically chose waterproof due to the fact of the letter I received with the dress.The color I choose was of an obsidian color.Lastly for blush I decided on the LES CHAINES DE CHANEL which is illuminating blush powder,I chose a light pink to not stand out much from my skin.

    I grab the palette first and apply the whit to the corner of my eye and then black at the end of my eye.Which my brush I slowly blend the white and the black together creating a smokey eye.I then grab the lip balm and gently apply it to my lips.I grab the mascara and place it of my eyelashes I had chosen the color black because there would practically no color difference.I grab some fake black eyelashes and place them on my eyelids.Next,I grab the blush and gently place it on my cheeks.I then grab the setting powder and place it all around my face to make the makeup set in place.

     I stand and check myself once more in the mirror before I walk out of the closet while pulling out my phone.I open my phone and realize its already 3:42 ,it’s an hour drive to the place it is hosted so I have to call my driver now I thought.I go into my contacts and call my assistant she picks up.

She says”Hello Lilly speaking”

“Lilly I need you to send the limo right now”I state waiting for confirmation.

“Yes,right away boss,anything else?”she asks awaiting my response

“No that’d be it”I say as I hang up.

    A minute later I receive a text from her saying its on its way.That it will be here in 8 minutes tops.I grab my black clutch bag and throw on my heels and start to walking to my front door.Once there I realize it has started to rain so I grab my white umbrella,open it then head outside.

    I sit on the bench located right outside my front door and wait.I stared at the falling rain entranced.It sent a calm feeling across my body,although it was short-lasted.

It started with thunder than lightning tormenting me showing me that nothings perfect.

¨I know nothing's perfect okay how else could you prove your point¨I scream painfully.

    All of a sudden I hear a honk then snap back into reality…it was still raining.A lone tear escaped and I wipe it as quickly as possible.Nothing had changed,I sit there trying to regain my composure.Then with a straight face I climb down the steps and get into the limo.Telling the driver to take me to the hotel where the gala is hosted,then turn my head and stare out the window.
