The Perfect Wave (On Hold)

Chapter 10: Yeah, Me Too.

Elliot: I miss you.

Me: I miss you, too.

Elliot: When does school start for you?

Me: In two days. You?

Elliot: Seriously? You just got home yesterday! I start in a week.

Me: Lucky.

Elliot: I'm not lucky. You're not here. :(

Me: I wish I was. :(

Elliot: Screw school! I'm coming for you!

Me: Haha! I wish!

Elliot: I was serious. -.-

Me: So was I. -.- Just wait for Thanksgiving. I'm going to try to make it.

Elliot: I'm holding you to that. I love you. Call ya later.

Me: Love ya, too. I'll talk to you later.

Elliot: Bye. :(

Me: Bye. :(

Elliot: Bye.

Me: Bye.

Elliot: Bye ;)

Me: Bye! xD

Elliot: <3

Me: <3 

I set my phone aside and smiled. Thanksgiving needs to hurry up. It's been one day, man! I sighed, just make it to Thanksgiving. 

"Erica!" Dad's home. He came home from work too later last night and left before I woke up. My dad is the definition of a workaholic.

"Dad!" I smiled, giving him a hug. "What's this I hear about a boyfriend?"

"Matthew!" I exclaimed. "I'm sorry!" He ran to his room so he wouldn't get yelled at. I sighed.

"Well?" He asked. I shrugged, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I have work to get done. Explain." You always have work to get done, Dad. "His name's Elliot."

"And?"

"He lives in California." I shrugged. "How can you even accomplish that?"

"We'll make it work."

"I demand a conversation with this guy." I nodded, "Okay, okay. I can see if he's available for Skype."

"Okay then." He ushered me to get my laptop, but I grabbed my phone first.

Me: My dad wants to meet you.

Elliot: Today? How?

Me: Skype?

Elliot: But I'm not.. talkative.

Me: You've spoken to my mom, but I'll tell him your busy. It's okay.

Elliot: No, no. It's fine. I need an excuse to see your beautiful face anyways.

Me: Trust me. You don't need an excuse. 

Then I got a call on Skype. I answered it on my laptop instead of my phone. "There's my girl!"

I blushed, "Hey, Eli." I unplugged my laptop. "So... your dad?"

"He's not that bad. You may wanna put a shirt on though." He looked down at his chest before jumping up from his seat at his desk. He returned a minute later with a loose v-neck. "Not much better, is it?"
