Chapter 3: Exceptence

It was the next morning. I must have blacked out last night maybe Melatonin was not a good idea. I tried to escape my thoughts. It must have worked a little to well in the process. All of a sudden there was a loud abrupt knock on my door. I look out the window to see Elliot. I was confused but It made me happy to see him again. There it was again those thoughts. The thoughts that make you blush thinking about them like a little kid with a crush. It was almost as if being around him comforted me. I think I'm coming down with something. I finished putting my clothes on and walked towards the door. I slowly opened it revealing Elliot still standing their with all his glory. His hazel eyes locked into mine.We held eye contact and to be honest I didn't mind. Time and pain subsided. The silence was interrupted by Elliot smirking. He spoke " You look beautiful Renee" . I smiled."Thanks" I replied. I decided to let him in. As I lead him towards the living area of my apartment. I see out of the corner of my eye what seemed to be him starring at me almost admiring me. I let him sit down on the couch as I go get coffee. As I motioned towards the kitchen I can't stop thinking about how I blushed. I haven't done that in only dimensions know how long. I grabbed the coffee and brought it out to him and we started talking. We talked for hours catching up and learning about how he got his Mirage alias. I learned many things about him. Like his past and I was right about him covering for past trauma.  The entire time we talked It made me feel like the wall that I built was slowly being torn down, and maybe just maybe I was ok with it. Slowly he was running out of things to talk about. My mind started drifting when I looked at his lips. I think he noticed my thoughts because all of a sudden  he leans in closer. I feel his breath brush past my lips. I felt myself get lost into his eyes. I feel that I finally found my home. I  felt his lips press against mine. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach.  Mirage put an arm behind my waist pulling me closer into his embrace. I swung my arms around his neck get closer to him. We only stopped for a second to catch our breath before we reconnected. This time he pushed me onto the couch. I landed on my back and our body's pressed closer. Elliot looks at me and smiles. I smile back. We both sit up and laugh.  He then explains how he needs to go work a shift at his bar. So I walked him to the door and waved goodbye. It felt as if the missing piece of me was walking away. After he leaves I head over to my bed. It was late after all and there is another match tomorrow morning. So  decide to get some sleep.
