It's been three days since Ellie and drew talked and I've been thinking even though Ellie and I have been only dating a short amount of time, we should get our own house . I'm nervous about what she's going to say when I ask her though , I mind as well ask her and get it over."Ellie can we talk, " sure hun what's up?she said as she turned to face me. "Would you ever consider getting a house with me,"Sure babe I actually was thinking the same thing but I didn't know how to go about asking you she said." I wasn't expecting you to say that, I thought you were going to say Evan I don't know I have to think about it." I can't always be predictable Evan and I've been thinking in order for me to be rid of the toxin of Drew I have to make some changes starting with getting a job then moving out of drew's house." Who is this imposter and what has she done with my girlfriend I asked as I playfully put my hand on her head to check for a fever. " Boy get your hand off of my head she said as she swatted my hand away . OMG this is a proud moment my little Ellie is growing up, "Shutup Evan, when do you want to go house hunting she asked." Tomorrow,I talked to a realtor already. "Sounds like a plan hun, what time are we going she asked ,"We're going at twelve so please be ready. She looked at me for awhile then said "I'm not the issue, you always have to do something at the last minute." Whatever man, I discovered something when ever I'm talking to Ellie I can't concentrate she's like my kryptonite. "Why are you looking at me like that Evan, " Like what Ellie ? "I don't know you're just looking at me strange maybe I'm just paranoid. " You're paranoid you're trippin I better not catch you smokin or sippin, " Drum roll please and the corniest boyfriend award goes to.... Evan. " I'll be that, but you love me though so what does that make you. "It makes me corny by association, oh I have to reevaluate my whole life. " You know what Ellie, fuck you lol ," Whenever you're ready hunnybunches. "It has been three days Ellie I said before kissing her,which was interrupted by my mom knocking on my door. "Come in, " Evan I'm leaving my mom said, "Mom when am I gonna meet the person you're spending your time with every Tuesday and Friday night I asked just as she was about to walk out of my room. "When the time is right Evan, "Can I at least get a name mom. " His name is Derek she said with a grin, " you must really like this guy does he treat you good. " Yes Evan he does, I'm leaving now she said as she left my room. After my mom left Ellie was extremely quitet," what's wrong babe I asked but she didn't respond instead she went to sleep. I 'd figure out what's wrong with her eventually I thought as I fell asleep. "Good morning babe I said as Ellie walked out of the bathroom, "Morning hun she said before coming over to kiss me."What time is it I asked as I got up," It's 9:30 she said as she went back in the bathroom to finish getting dressed. "Why are you up so early Ellie I asked as I went to start the shower, "I couldn't sleep so I decided to get dressed and go for a walk." What's wrong babe I asked as I walked up behind her, "I don't want to talk about it right now Evan she said as she turned around and tried to walk away but I pulled her back."I want to help you Ellie tell me what's bothering you," Your mom is dating my father she said as her eyes began to water."Oh shit Ellie was all I could say as I gave her a hug, "Babe I'll be fine please go get in the shower before we're late. After I finished getting dressed it was was 11:00 and as soon as I walked out of the bathroom Ellie started yelling at me. "Evan what took you so long, you asked me to be ready and took you a day an a half to get ready. "A day an a half really Ellie, I had to take a shower and put clothes on unless you want me to walk around naked I said with a smirk . "Evan don't get slapped, just put your shoes on so we can leave she said as she headed downstairs."It's about time Ellie said when I came downstairs," you're attitude is ridiculous Brielle I said as we walked to my car. " Evan I'm sorry for lashing out on you, since last night I've been filled with anxiety and stress. " It's cool Ellie, I think you and your dad should talk things out and if you need support I'll be here for you. "Thanks babe she said as we pulled up to the first house. Once we got out of the car the realtor walked up to us and introduced herself, "Hi I'm Jordyn."Hi jordyn I'm Evan and this is my girlfriend Brielle I said as Ellie extended her hand out to shake jordyn 's hand." Nice to meet you both, if you would please follow me. When we walked into the house the first thing that stood out to me was how close everything was but overall I liked it. "It's alittle on the small side but I think with a little remodeling it would be a great first house jordyn said as we walked to the next house which was around the corner. Before we walked inside Ellie was already saying she liked it, " you haven't even went inside yet babe I said while laughing at her. "It's way more spacious compared to the other house and there are two bathrooms Ellie said excitedly ," It also comes pre furnished Jordyn said as she showed the rest of the house . " So you guys like the second house better than the first so far, I have one more to show you guys she said eagerly. " It's two blocks away from here she said as she walked to her car,you guys could ride with me if you like. The third house Ellie really fell in love with ,it had window seats a walk in closet and two bathrooms and a bonus aside from it being affordable was it had a game room.
I'm going to give you guys awhile to think things over Jordyn said as she walked out. It didn't take very long for Ellie and I to decide, we decided to go with the third house so we called jordyn and told her our decision. We signed some papers and paid a down payment of $150 and she told us we should be able to move in within two weeks." Thanks again Jordyn I said as Ellie and I headed to my car, " No problem she said with a wink. "Call me if anything Evan, bye Bria it was nice meeting you she said with a fake smile. Surprisingly Ellie smiled and said "nice meeting jordyn then she got in the car but after we drove off it was a different story."ugh if I didn't like that house, I would have cursed her out." And don't think I didn't see her wink at you, her mother should've named her whore -dyn. " Bria calm down, she's not worth it, I said with a smirk. "I play with you Evan Ellie said trying her hardest not to laugh. " You know it's out of love Ellie I said as my phone rang, " Ellie can you answer that for me. She put it on speaker and said" Hello,"Hey Bria can I speak to Evan this is jordyn. " Jordyn can I take a message or something because he's driving right now," I'll just call back I guess bye." Ellie are you hungry I asked as I pulled into fatz parking lot, " I guess she said as she got out. " Welcome to fatz, would you like a table or booth
the waiter asked, " A Booth I said as we walked towards a booth. A few minutes later a waiter came to see if we were ready to order, " Hi I'm but stopped mid sentence as he looked at ellie then continued "Hi I'm mark are you guys ready to order or do you guys need a few minutes to decide he asked. "We're ready, Ellie said as she placed her order which was chicken tenders and fries, I had ordered a Bacon cheese burger and fries. "What would you guys like to drink?, " Raspberry iced tea Ellie and I said at the same time."Here you go he said as he handed us our food and drinks, " Thank you Ellie said before he walked away."Anytime beautiful he replied with a smile, I just stared at her and shook my head. "What's wrong with you Ellie asked once she finished eating, "Are you really gonna ask me that I asked as I placed the money for our food on the table." Obviously I missed something Evan because your attitude is uncalled for she said as she walked towards the bathroom , just as I was about to get up and go back to the car I see Ellie and captain dork talking and headed in my direction. " Are you ready I asked getting impatient, Ellie just ignored me and continued talking. "Excuse my rude boyfriend, the waiter looked at her for awhile then said " I'm sorry if my comment was offensive to either of you. " It's fine right Evan she said giving me a look, "yeah it's cool I said reluctantly." Ellie why were you talking to him for like you've known each other for years I asked as we both got in the car, "He and I actually do know each other, we were bestfriends back in our younger years but his family moved and we lost contact. "So that's why he was looking at you when he came to take our orders I said starting to feel bad. " Were you getting jealous Evan she asked ,'' Not even Ellie I said as we pulled up to the house. As Ellie and I got out of the car and walked closer to the door, I had a strange feeling. " Evan come here there is someone I want you to meet my mom said as I opened the door." Babe I'm going to your room Ellie whispered as she went upstairs, " Hey mom I said as I walked into the kitchen. "Hey Evan, I'd like you to meet Derek she said as a tall guy approached me, "Nice to meet you I said as I shook his hand. " Nice to meet you as well he replied, I actually have a daughter who is your age her name's Brielle. My mom looked at me and said "Evan can I talk to you upstairs for a moment , I followed her to me room where Ellie was sitting on my bed. " Hi brielle may I talk to you and Evan for a moment my mom asked as she closed the door. " Brielle how come you didn't tell me Derek was your father, " I didn't tell you because I didn't want to burden you with my father -daughter issues she replied. "Aww honey you wouldn't be burdening me, your dad told me that you and him really didn't have a good relationship. " Evan how long have you known about this," I just found out this morning and I told Ellie she has to try to resolve the issues she has with Derek.
