I Guess Thats Why They Call It The Blues

Chapter 4

One of the small pleasures in life for Ellis Dee had been sleeping. She could and had slept for hours when given the chance. Evan's bed had been so comfortable she couldn't help but slip into a deep sleep after the night's activities. She hadn't even realized that she had fallen asleep till a voice woke her up.

"Wake up." Evan said, shaking her slightly. "Come on."

It took a moment for her to gain her bearings as she looked around slightly confused. The sky was still dark though she could see a small shred of light peeking out from the horizon.

"What time is it?" She asked, her voice still groggy.

"5. I gotta go hit the gym. Grab your stuff I'll drop you off on the way."

"Oh.....ok." She said trying to comprehend who the hell woke up that early to work out. Finally managing to pull herself out of bed she started searching for her clothes. She found her panties on the floor when he plucked them out of her hand.

"Hope you don't mind if I keep these. You know for the memories" He asked and she laughed.

"Sure why not." She said with a shrug as she continued to look for the rest of the clothes.

The ride home seemed to be totally opposite of the night before. His chatty demeanor seemed to have changed to serious almost bored nothing like he had been the before.

He must not have been a morning person; she kept telling herself but deep down she wondered if she had done something to blow anything they may of had. No that couldn't be it seemed to go so well she reminded herself. But the thought still stayed in the back of her head no matter how hard she tried to push it away.

After what seemed like an eternity in silence they pulled up to her place. The lights were all off making it obvious everyone was still fast asleep.

"So thanks for last night I had a good time." Ellis said awkwardly not sure what to make of everything.

"Oh trust me it was my pleasure. Twice." He said she laughed with a small sense of relief at his joke.

"So are you going to call me?"

"Don't you worry about it." Evan replied casually with a shrug.

"Is that a yes or....?"

"It is what it is, don't worry about it Babydoll." He said leaning over & giving her a small kiss on the cheek. "Now I gotta go or my whole day will be thrown off."

Walking up to the door she opened it as silently as she could which was hard considering she was sure half the block had heard his car pull out.

Australian had been fast asleep sprawled out obnoxiously across the couch. It was where he had passed out the night before. This wasn't unusual for him in the slightest, he wounded out falling asleep downstairs on the couch more often then in his bed. But what was unusual was him being woken up by a loud ass car in the drive way. He managed to pull himself up to peer over the top of the couch as the door opened.

Ellis walked in slowly shutting the door behind her trying not to wake anyone. As she turned to walk up the stairs she was taken back to see a pair of groggy eyes looking at her from the couch. A small blush crossed her cheeks at being caught red handed doing a walk of shame. Putting a finger to her lips she motioned for him to keep quiet as she snuck up the stairs in hopes of getting in a shower before she was bombarded with questions from the girls. While she may of had some answers about last night there was still lingering questions. (These questions would constantly gnaw at her till he finally got around to texting her days later asking to see her again.)

Aussie watched her as she ran up the stairs. He could feel a knot deep in his stomach but chose to ignore it. Laying back down he threw an arm over his eyes in some vain attempt to sleep but somehow he knew he wouldn't be getting back to sleep any time soon.
