every second of it.
“Goodnight Dylan.”
“Goodnight Elli.”
She opens her door, looks over her shoulder and smiles before the door comes between us. I walk back down to my jeep with a permanent grin on my face.
CHAPTER 12
Elli
I close the door, and lean against it as I slide down until my but hits the floor. Not to mention I’m grinning like a fool. Out of no where, Tegan comes flying at me.
“ELLI TELL ME EVERYTHING. OH MY GOSH LOOK AT YOU! YOU’RE LIKE, GLOWING. EEEEEEP. DETAILS GIRL!”
“Okay, okay! Calm down! First of all, thanks for ditching me!”
“Oh please! I was not going to be third wheel while you guys made googly eyes all night, thank you very much. Now tell me everything!”
She grabs my hand, yanks me up off the floor and leads me over to the couch where I recap the night. From our game of pool, the questions we asked each other, and a few things I learned about him.
“He’s different Tegan. I’ve never been looked at like the way he looks at me. It’s weird.”
“Well embrace it girl! You deserve the best!”
“Well so do you Tegan!”
“Yea, yea now tell me. What did you order to eat?”
“I really wasn’t hungry.”
“Bull shit Elli.”
“I’m serious! I didn’t want anything, but he made me get something, so I ordered a salad.”
“A salad Elli?! There is no way you’re not hungry right now. We had lunch at like 2 o’clock. It’s now 11.”
I look down and think this over. I really should have eaten something. But it’s too late now. I’ll just wait for breakfast.
“I’m a little hungry. But I wasn’t when we were at the restaurant.”
“Well I made turkey burgers and there’s extra. So go have one.”
“It’s too late to eat. I’ll just have a big breakfast.”
“Elli…..”
“Tegan, really. I’m fine.”
“Alright. But you have to tell me. Did he kiss you?”
I bite my lower lip and shake my head yes. And just like I knew she would, Tegan starts jumping up and down on the couch clapping her hands and making the weirdest noises.
“AHHHHHH. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! How was it?!!”
“Amazing Tegan. I mean, I don’t know if I was any good cause it was my first kiss, but I’m pretty sure he set the bar extremely high.”
She stops jumping. “Hold the phone! That was your first kiss?! Elli! This calls for celebration! Lets go out for some italian ices!”
“But it’s too late to eat anything!”
“Non-sense! Live a little! Let’s go, I’m driving!”
Since this is a losing battle, and there is no way I’ll be able to fall asleep right now, due to the fact I’m probably going to overthink everything that just happened, I let Tegan drag me out. When we get to Froggy’s Ice, Tegan orders our favorites; hers being Cookie Dough and mine Mint Chocolate Chip . We find a spot on a nearby bench and Tegan talks my ear off about how she can’t believe I’ve never been kissed. As she rambles on, I look across the street from where we’re sitting and see a group of girls pull up to the bar. When they get out of the car, it’s easy to see that if they bend even an inch in those dresses, they’re going to be revealing a little too much. Even if I was as thin as them, I still wouldn’t dress like that. When a group of guys walk out of the club to meet them, I realize its the rest of Dylan’s team.
Interrupting Tegan, I ask “Do you think it’s a joke?”
“Do I think what’s a joke?”
“Dylan actually liking me. Even just a little.”
“Elli, why would that be a joke?”
“Tegan, Dylan could easily get a girl like that,” I nod my head over to the girls walking into the bar. “Why would he want anything to do with me?”
“A girl like what? One of those bimbos? Are you crazy Elli? You’re ten times the girl they will ever be. Unlike them, you actually respect yourself and care for others. I know those kinds of girls. All they care about is how many times they can get laid in a week."
“I don’t
