Chapter 20
Elis pov
Now I was sitting on the couch, the opposite end of Carter. I had decided to call my mom and let me stay over, although she thinks Im at Kyles house.
It was now in the evening, although reluctant, his parents left to go on a date night. Speaking of dates how come this felt like one? And what the heck happened in the pool?
We were watching some movie but I wasnt paying any attention.
I knew I would never date him. No way. Just thinking about even liking him makes me sick to my stomach. Everyone would hate me and my dad would never accept me.
But even though all that happened, how come I loved every second of the moment in the pool.
How come I wish I kissed him?
As if Carter could read my mind, he pauses the movie and spoke up.
“Okay, What’s wrong?” He asked and I noticed he seemed closer then earlier.
I shrugged at the question and avoided eye contact.
“Come on, I won’t judge.” He said looking in my eyes.
“It’s nothing.” I insisted.
He didn’t believe me.
“Okay, whatever, but if it is something,” he said scooting closer and I felt my heart stop when he put his hand on top of mine. “Then You can tell me.” He said the words so gentle and soft and nice I wanted to melt into his arms right then but there was no way I could do that.
So I just gave him an equally soft smile and didn’t move my hand.
“Well I’m gonna order pizza, what kind do you like?” He asked suddenly stretching and standing up.
“Cheese.” I replied shrugging, I don’t really care to be honest, I just wish he hadn’t moved.
He went in the other room to call the pizza place and while he did that I quickly texted Kayla.
Me: we basically just held hands omg
Kayla: SO YOU DO LIKE HIM?!?
Me: no, we are just friends.
Kayla: your so bipolar
Me: gtg he’s coming back.
I quickly put my phone in my pocket as he walked back in the living room.
He surprisingly cuddled up next to me under my blanket. Like right next to me. Like Literally on top of me.
Wtf.
At first I felt uncomfortable but as he Layed his head on my chest, and watched the tv screen I realized how I loved this.
I felt my heart well up with self pride.
If I was happy with this, then I was learning to accept myself.
And that was something spectacular.
Chapter 20
Carters pov
“Haha, you have pizza sauce on your nose.” I said laughing and pointing to Eli’s nose.
He blushed and wiped it off, rolling his eyes at me.
I stuck my tongue at him and he squinted his eyes, glaring.
I’m seconds we were both a fit of laughter and giggles again.
My parents would be home soon and it was kinda late but we were both sitting on top of my kitchen counter acting like dorks and eating pizza.
“Oh look who’s talking now?” He said laughing and pointing at my face.
I started to wipe the pizza sauce off my chin but he shot his hand out and grabbed my wrist.
“I got it.” He said softly and carefully wipped it off. When his fingered touched my face I felt butterfly’s and as he looked into my eyes I felt my whole body melt.
Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me.
He took a deep breath and tilted my chin up. He was gonna do it. He finally had the courage to accept who he was and kiss me!
He started to lean in and….
“WERE HOME!!!” My dad Yelled as they walked in the front door.
Eli yanked his hand back and I blushed furiously. Wow dad way to ruin the moment.
“Oh my god… Did you see that? He tried taking my sons innocents!!!” My dad said pointing at us with a hand over his heart, dramatically.
I blushed even furiously and I knew Eli would never have the courage again, it was defiantly a spur of the moment thing.
My mom rolled her eyes.
“It was a kiss, it’s not like he was doing anything bad.” She said rolling her eyes.
“We weren’t kissing!” Me and Eli claimed at the same time.
“Well you better not have been or your father would have a heart attack.” My mom joked and I felt so embarrassed. I cant believe they had to see such a private moment between me and Eli,
“Eli, would you like me to show you my knife collection again?” My dad asked and my mom slapped him.
“Don’t you touch the boy!” My mom scolded him and I actually managed a laugh.
“Well we are going to bed, don’t stay up to late.” My mom said and pulled my dad up the stairs.
Great, now it’s awkward.
