I don't believe that my mother is not affected at all by this marriage and Helene too. How can they accept it like that. Maybe you are saying right now that I am overreacting towards my mother and my father but I'm just so hurt. I haven't yet digested my parents' divorce well I must say despite the few months of therapy after their divorce with Doctor Moore. I always believed that since they had no one in their life it meant that they still had a chance to get back together but apparently not.
I wish this marriage didn't affect me as much but I can't. I tried but I always behave like this when it comes to my dad. What is wrong with me ? Why did I do that ?
"Where are we going like this ?", Nate said.
I turned my head slowly towards him and said "you'll see and don't ask any more questions ?", I replied to him.
I completely forgot that I was not alone. Why did I invite him ? I barely know him, I'm sure and certain that he is judging me right now.
"Yes, sorry. I thought it was only in my head, I didn't want to piss you off furthermore", Nate said while turning his head to the window. Then he noticed the sign that says "You are leaving Roswell" and he asked himself where can they go like that, there were only desert out of sight. After doing a few miles, he noticed that there is a secondary road in his right and they are leading there.
He was even more surprised when he saw this beautiful door open slowly when the car approached it, it was leading towards a magnificent estate. There was a sublime villa at the top of a hill. The view was breathtaking from up there they could see all of Roswell up there, there was a big swimming pool in front. Once we entered the villa it was so bright since the walls were made of glass so you could see everything outside.
"Wow! I have never seen such a beautiful house in my life. The owner must be immensely rich to have succeeded in building this here", Nate said ecstatically, I'll even say that his jaws were on the floor. I find that just so cute, he is like a kid who sees for the first time and who's about to eat it.
"Well, actually this villa belongs to me and the whole hill too", I said confidently.
"Seriously ?! How can a person owe a whole hill ? Are you that rich?", he asked, astonished.
"In your opinion ?", I replied, teasing him a little.
"WOW!!! Just AWESOME!!", Nate said even more ecstatic.
"This is the first of my many properties that I acquired after my appointment as the new CEO of Jefferson Pharmaceutical Industries. I used to come here with my grandfather often when I was little, especially after my parents argued and didn't talk to each other for days because I always cried every time I saw them arguing and he always sent Helene to sleep at a friend's house . At that time this hill did not belong to us yet so we were building an aunt here. It is us who have planted these trees there and my grandpa especially liked to plant sugar canes", Ellie replied.
Nate noticed that Ellie talked about her grandfather with so much love and that she only had good memories about him.
"Wow! He must be a great grandfather", Nate said.
"Yes he was. He died a few years after my parents got divorced", Ellie replied with a bit of sadness.
"But why sugar canes ? I mean there are many other flowers and plants so why sugar canes ?", Nate asked curiously.
"I don't know myself, he loved them that's all. Since I became CEO, I come here at least every other weekend to relax and get away from my daily life you know", Ellie replied to him.
"Do you come here alone?", Nate asked.
"Actually, nobody knows that I have a villa here, not even my sister nor my best friend Larry. So, yes I always come here alone", Ellie replied.
"Your assistant is very well dressed ?"Nate asked, a little surprised.
"Yeah, it's him. I don't have that many friends you know", Ellie replied to him.
"Honestly, I know that I look like a hot and cool guy and have a lot of friends. I mean look at those awesome cheekbones", Nate said a little flirtatious while showing his ckeekbones " but I don't have that many friends too", he added.
"Really ?! That's how you find yourself ? Sorry to disappoint you but that's not what I told myself about you the first time I saw you",she said followed by a laugh.
It was the cutest laugh that Nate has heard in his entire life and moreover, something was happening in his chest when he heard this laugh. It was his heart, it was pounded so fast in his chest that he thought that Ellie was going to hear it pounding so fast in his chest.
So they spent the rest of the day at the villa but then Nate noticed that they actually had nothing to eat.
"Uh... Ellie?", he said.
"Yes", she replied.
"I wouldn't want to break the mood but we have nothing left to eat", Nate said timidly.
"What? How was it possible?", Ellie said surprised.
"I have a little idea of the thing but it will not please you", Nate said a little afraid.
"What? Go ahead ! Speak! I won't bite you", Ellie replied.
"Ok. Actually you ate it all. Firstly, you ate three jars of ice cream while you were crying in the bathroom and then you ate all the chips and drank all the beer when you were around the pool and finally you made two triple cheese burgers for you this very afternoon", Nate said.
"Are you calling me a glutton right now ?", Ellie said, trying to mess with him and teasing him a little.
"No! No! Not at all ! You are not a glutton at all, you are even the contrary of a glutton. You are just perfect as you are. Uh... Forget I said nothing", Nate said nervously.
Ellie laughed so hard at him and said "I'm just kidding Nate. Relax ! When I'm frustrated I eat a lot and I already know that I'm a glutton. And thanks for the compliment but I'm far from perfect".
They watched the sunset together and then went back home. They were talking and laughing all the road and finally arrived at Ellie's house.
"So you really live here ?", Nate asked, amazed by her house.
"Yeah ! And you can live here too if you accept my offer", Ellie said while getting out of the car.
"Thanks Ellie but you know I can't accept it", Nate said timidly.
"Why not ?", she said while approaching him.
"What are you doing ?", Nate said and blushed a little because Ellie was so close to him that only one inch separated them.
"I don't know what I'm doing right now Nate", she replied to him with a soft voice.
