Awakened By Love EP 1- The Lost Necklace

2 years ago

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. It lit up the "Paint Tilt" art supply store with the same orange tinge.

There enters a girl with the most captivating face, yet trying to hide those in her simple manner.

She has a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her hair cascaded down her back like a honey-colored waterfall. Her hazel eyes were searching for someone dear to her.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Hi, Sam. *smiles*

Sam/shop owner

Oh, dear Avah, it's been two days since I last saw you! Are you doin' great kiddo?

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Absolutely! I just have been busy with the exhibition works. *smiles*

Sam/shop owner

I see. *smiles*

While she was chatting away with Sam, a store employee approached her from behind.

Noah Scott/store employee

How may I help you Ma'am?

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Could you help me find Austen. He also works here. You probably know him, right?

Noah Scott/store employee

(she must be his girlfriend) Of course, I will take you to him. *leads the way*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Thank you. *smiles* *follows him*

There we see a beautiful man in the storage room of the store, sitting there with his masculine figure, in the midst of a pile of things, looking for something. His surrounding and the way he looked for this specific thing tell us that, whatever he is looking for is important to him.

Noah Scott/store employee

Hey, Austen, your girlfriend is here to see you.

Austen lifts his head up to see Avah there lookin' at him and then to Noah trying her best to clear up the misunderstanding.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Uh! Um, no, no, it's not girlfriend, it's just friend.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

I'm sorry Austy, I might have given him the wrong idea by asking about you the first thing I entered the store.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*chuckles* *looking at her adoringly as she explains things to Noah*

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*suddenly his eyes strikes on something* (Finally, found you!)

Noah let out an embarrassed laugh before apologizing to Avah, and then he went to assist a new customer who had just arrived.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*gets up and walks towards Avah and ruffles her hair* Relax little one.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

I'm not little, I'm almost 20 Austy.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Okay, Miss 20.

Both of them chuckled, and if someone was there, they would bet that it was one of the most beautiful sights they've ever seen.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

So, what were you doin' here? You have turned this storage room upside down. I don't think Sam will like it. *asks with confusion and concern*

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

So, I was looking for something and tada! Look what I found! *shows her the necklace*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Is that...is that my necklace? *asks with pure joy and amusement*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

*takes it from his hand* Thank you so much, Austy. This is my lucky charm, my most treasured gift from my brother. I thought I had lost it forever. There is no place where I didn't look for this, school, home, everywhere, but yeah, obviously except this storage room. *chuckles*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

But, how did you find it? I mean, how did you get to know that it would be here?

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*shrugs* I didn't know. I just found it here when I was looking for some other things that Sam asked me for. You must have dropped it the other day while you were trying to get that painting board from here.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Silly me! *taps her head with her hand*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

It's so great that you found it. This is so important to me. *hugs it tight to her heart*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

And I can't think of tomorrow without this.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*raises an eyebrow*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Don't tell me that you forgot about tomorrow. *expecting him to say no*

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Is tomorrow any special day?

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

You don't remember?

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*clueless*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

You really forgot it. *says to herself in a low voice* *pouts*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Tomorrow is-

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

The art exhibition at your Uni where your paintings are going to be displayed. *chuckles*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

You remember it! Then, were you just teasing me? *asks pouting*

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Of course, I do remember it Avah. How can I forget it when you were working so hard for this one particular day. And about the teasing part, I like teasing you. *taps his index finger on her nose*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

*scrunches her nose*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Oh...and *examines her bag and takes out a card* this is the entry ticket for the exhibition. I came to give you this.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Will be there, Princess. *takes it from her*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

You are teasing me again. *pouts*

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

*winks* But, where is Raya?

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

God knows where she is or what she is doing. *rolls eyes cutely* Anyway, I'm gonna go home. She said she will be there by 8. See you tomorrow.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Yeah, bye. Take care. *smiles*

Avah smiled and walked away from there. Austen was looking at her disappearing figure when someone called for him.

Noah Scott/store employee

Austen, need a little help here.

Austen Volkov/FL's friend(26 y/o)

Coming.

Avah was walking past Sam, who was sitting at the cash desk.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Bye, Sam.

Sam/shop owner

*looks at the chain in her hand* So, the boy finally found it, huh?

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Huh?!

Sam/shop owner

After he found out that you lost your chain in our store from the CCTV visuals, he has been searching for it in every corner of the shop. I'm glad he finally found it.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

*puzzled*

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Right! *smiles confusingly*

Sam/shop owner

Then, bye kiddo. Good luck with your exhibition.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

Thanks, Sam.

She then got out of the store and looked at the evening sky.

Avannah Russo/FL(22 y/o)

He is soo... unpredictable. *smiles shifting her gaze to her necklace*

With the happiness of the recovered necklace and the excitement for the long awaited exhibition, she went home tightly hugging the pendant to her heart.
