The Millionaire and Her Lover

CHAPTER TWO

LINDSAY

Ellie and I moved in about a week ago and I love it already. Why? mainly because she is here with me. Although she is my little sister's best friend she is stunning. 

It's been hard over the years, letting Ellie and Naomi be friends in peace. Something in me has always wanted to disrupt that peace but I couldn't do that. One of them would end up hating me. 

Sitting with her every day in Math, watching as she gets frustrated over her calculator or the math equations. Watching her constantly turn for me for help in English. 

Her coming to me to be lab partners every time we needed a partner in bio. Studying for tests with her and watching her jab the eraser end of her pencil into her cheek when she was reading a question. Or just reading in general. 

It didn't take me long to admit to realize that I was in love with her. When our sixth-grade teacher explained to us one day what love was. I knew I loved Ellie. 

Now that Ellie and Naomi are going to be distanced for two years. I'm going to take my shot at getting her. I'm not going to let her slip past me.  

I can't watch as another guy makes her happy, or is kissing her or taking her on dates. That should be me and I know that. James was an ass and I have no idea what Ellie saw in him but they were together for a long time

That broke my heart. 

In high school, I was able to keep her away from a lot of the guys, well the guys away from her really. In the locker rooms. You'd hear when a guy was planning on asking out anyone. I made sure no one asked her out.

One day I saw Ellie coming home crying, I went over to her and comforted her. Only to find that James, the guy she was dating for nearly two years. 

He somehow slipped from my radar. 

They broke up. I was happy but seeing how miserable she was. I didn't know what to say to comfort her at that moment but to hug her. Telling her that everything will be okay.

With just weeks away from prom she now didn't have a prom date, so I went with her. I claimed it was just as friends but I wanted it to be more than that. 

She looked gorgeous in the black floor-length dress, a slit up to her hip that kept my eyes wandering to her leg all night. 

That night I was so nervous, mom ended up having to tie my tie because my hands were fumbling too much. But it was all worth it when I got to see her having fun at prom, and I was her date. 

At the end of the night, she gave me a small kiss on the cheek and said ' thank you for pitying me' but really. I wasn't pitying her. I was in love with her.

hearing soft knocking at my door I quickly jump from my bed and open the door to find Ellie standing there. Dressed like she is going somewhere. 

I felt my heart wanting to but out of my chest when I watched her eyes trail up and down me. I am shirtless but still. 

Ellie pushes her hair back, she has a love-hate relationship with her hair. She hates how it's red but loves how it's not as bright as it used to be. 

The thing I love most about her is her witty personality and her gorgeous green eyes. They are so green and bright. They lure me in every time I stare into them.

I could stare at her all day if I could. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back later, text me if you need anything," she says and I stare at her longer than I would normally. Where the hell would she be going. She doesn't know this place.
