The Millionaire and Her Lover

CHAPTER THREE

ELLIE

Sitting in burning hot water is surprisingly relaxing. I need relaxing, I just told the man I'm madly in love with that I spent most of my day with some guy. 

A guy I met by accident. I mean sure he's nice but I want Lindsay but I don't know how long I can hold onto my dream of wanting Lindsay. But he got so mad when I told him about Ayden. 

Naomi must have told him to watch over me or some shit. She'd be the one to do that because she's always worrying that I'm going to get into trouble. Not that I've really had anything bad happen, but I've been protected by my father my entire life and now I'm out on my own. 

This world is a scary place and I can be careless and reckless at times. 

After what just happened, this bath was really needed. It's giving me some time to think about whether or not I want to go to that bonfire Saturday. That's three days away. I can possibly make new friends and Ayden doesn't seem too bad. 

He's not the type I'd hang out with normally but sometimes stepping outside of your comfort zone is needed. 

Ugh, tomorrow I really need to go job hunting. I can't just sit around doing nothing all the time. Maybe Lindsay would go with me, Although he did seem pretty upset with me tonight. He may need some time to cool down. 

I guess he's always been protective over me. That's just how it's always been. 

It was also good seeing Avery today, haven't seen him in ages. I wonder when Cassie's going to show his face around here. Hopefully soon. I miss having them all around, Avery and Cassie were good friends to Lindsay. 

Pulling up the drain for the tub I stand up. We have a rather large bathroom. It has a little walk-in shower off to the side and a tub next to the sink. 

Wrapping a towel around me I open the bathroom door while turning my phone on to see if I got any new notification. 

Suddenly I run right into something. Almost falling back My arm is grabbed and I clench my towel as I look to see I ran into Lindsay. Whoops. 

"Sorry, I'm just going to go," I mumble out pushing past him and quickly going to my room. 

Slamming my poor door shut I press my back against the door. Lindsay just saw me in a towel. Holy shit! 

After calming down after my experience I lock my door and drop the towel. getting dressed for bed I also put on this oversized hoodie that I and Naomi got. I was fifteen. We both have the exact same hoodie in the exact same size. 

Speaking of Naomi I should probably facetime her, It's been a few days. Taking the computer off of my desk I place it on my bed before climbing into bed. Pressing call on her contact I let it ring while I brush my hair. 

when she answers she smiles at me. "Hey girly, how it down in California?" She asks making me laugh. It is good to see her face, even if it's just over facetime. 

Although I'm kinda upset that I'm going to miss her seventeenth birthday. Which is next week. Her camera shakes as she adjusts her computer but when it fixes I see she's at her desk. 

She started school last week, I would of to but I and Lindsay are going to start next semester. Just late timing. "Amazing, Oh! let me tell you about this gut I met at the mall today!" I tell her and she drops her pencil. 

She squeals before slamming her hands on her desk. "Girl you better spill the tea." She exclaims causing me to laughs. She's been wanting me to start exploring men again, it has been months since I and James broke up.
