Miguel left a little bit ago and Eli decided to stay over. Which leads to Eli and I's current position. I lay on my back with Eli's head in my lap and I subconsciously play with his hair.

"I was so worried, Sals. I couldn't sleep. My mom said you were okay but I needed to see for myself." Eli confesses. I feel guilt crawl through me and my hand stops playing with his hair.

"I'm so sorry, Eli. Miguel told me that you wanted to come with us." I whisper to him, not making eye contact.

"It's okay, Sals." Eli says softly.

"I uh joined Miguel's dojo." I tell him timidly.

"Really? You're gonna do karate again?" Eli asks me.

"Yeah, I miss it." I say while smiling down at him. I remember the conversation with Erin and decide to ask Eli about it.

"Eli? What are we?" I ask softly and nervously.

"What do you mean?" Eli asks with confusion.

"I mean we've kissed multiple times and last time I checked, most friends don't do that." I mumble.

"I-I don't know. What do you want be?" Eli asks me gently.

"I think I want to try being boyfriend and girlfriend." I tell him with a soft smile.

"I think I want to try that too." Eli admits with a grin.

"Salem Rosetta Rhodes, will you be my girlfriend?" Eli asks while sitting up.

"Of course, Eli. But was that really necessary?" I smile at him teasingly.

"No but I wanted to do it." Eli tells me.

"Tomorrow my dad's taking me to get my first tattoo, do you maybe wanna come?" I ask Eli while intertwining our hands.

"Sure, Sal." Eli smiles at me. Eli lays back down and we enjoy the comfortable silence for awhile.

"Sal, c-can I call you baby? If not, that's ok-" Eli starts rambling so I cut him off with a kiss and Eli melts into it. This time a spark runs through me causing me to smile into the kiss. 

"I'd love for you to call me that, Eli. But I'm gonna call you bubba." I tell Eli with a grin.

"We're probably gonna get told 'finally' a lot." Eli chuckles.

"Probably." I laugh and then I yawn.

"Tired, baby?" Eli asks softly.

"Yeah." I mumble lazily. Eli moves his head from my lap to chest and wraps his arms around me after crawling under my quilt.
