Chapter 22
Carters pov
I laid on the couch looking over at Eli smiling. He was sitting on the opposite end, and I had my legs stretched out on his lap.
“So when are you two,” my dad walked in the room grumbling and sat down, between me and Eli. “Going out on that date?” He asked.
Neither of us even said anything about the last word. We just glared at him.
“Well Wes and Kayla should be picking us up in 5 minutes.” Eli said.
“You won’t be by chance, talking to Carter right?” My dad asked smiling falsely at Eli.
I face palmed and ignored how cute Eli look when he blushed.
“Or, be near him, correct?” My dad finished.
“Er, yes sir.” Eli replied awkwardly.
Luckily We didn’t have to endure this anymore because someone knocked on the door.
“I’ll get it.” Eli said eager to leave the awkward setting.
“And how rude is it to awnser the door at someone else’s house!” My dad said putting a hand over his heart drammatically.
“Oh, of course, how rude of me.” Eli apologized nervously.
“I’ll get it dad.” I sighed and walked over to the door. My dad is so dramatic.
I opened the door to see my best friend.
“Hey Wes!” I said smiling and we hugged quickly.
“Eli, lets go!” I called out and he appeared from the living room moments later.
“Hey.” He greeted me with a soft smile and kissed my check before we walked out.
I blushed and smiled as his lips tingled on my cheek, Wes noticed.
We walked to the car, Kayla was driving and Wes had the passenger side. Me and Eli sat in the back seats.
“So how was last night?” Kayla asked, so obviously trying to see if anything happened between us. I may not be really close to her but I could tell.
“Fine.” Eli replied plainly, completely oblivious to Kayla’s interest.
Eli and Kayla talked some more, kayla obviously trying to get information from last night and Eli not noticing. It was kinda funny watching him be so unaware.
Eventually they stopped and turned on the music as we drove to the mall.
In the middle of the car ride Eli slipped his fingers into mine.
I didn’t let go.
Chapter 22
Eli’s pov
“Ok, now tell me what happened last night.” Kayla said in a hushed voice when Wes and Carter left to go into one of the stores at the mall.
I furrowed my eyebrows and felt
Confused, was that why she had been acting so weird?
“Nothing, I swear.” I swore. She squinted her eyes and glared at me.
“Well… I may have, almost, kissed him-” I admitted sheepishly. She cut me off by squealing really loudly.
“OHMYGOD!!!” She screamed.
I laughed as she pretended to hyperventilate, she was always one for the dramatics.
“Have you told him that you were,” she whispered leaning in, “gay?” She asked.
I looked down blushing and nodded. She started to Fangirl, again.
“Oh calm down.” I scolded.
“Ok ok, but for real, I know I’m joking around about this but I’m happy for you. He makes you happy and that’s all that matters.” She said smiling softly.
He made me happier then I thought possible.
But that made my life a lot harder then I wish it was.
