The more recent backstory of Ellis and Emery

Part/Book 2

"What? You mean to tell me that you heard everything I said while pretending to be asleep?!" Ellis shouted whilst almost falling off the bed in shock. Emery laughed for a little.

"Yes. I did fake being asleep, only because I woke up when you replaced yourself with the plushie. I also noticed that you were about to confess something when you returned from wherever." Emery finally responded.

"What's so funny about a confession?" Ellis said, shifting red. Emery smirked, cuddled closer to her, and tightly wrapped his arms around Ellis. Ellis had turned even redder now. Emery grabbed Ellis's arms and put them around him.

"I'm so lost. What are you doing?" Ellis sputtered in response to his arms moving. Emery looked up at her and got even closer.

"This." Emery leaned in and before Ellis could say anything at all he kissed him. She tried to pull away to ask what he was doing but failed. Emery pulled away slowly, Ellis's face in his hands. They both gazed at each other before either emitted a word.

"S-So let me get this straight. I confessed to you while you pretended to be asleep. Then, you 'woke' up, cuddled closer to me, and you moved my arms to cuddle you more. The next thing you did, which makes me even more confused, is then you kissed me. Explain." Ellis stuttered. Emery chuckled.

"You are so fucking dense. What I meant by that damn kiss was that I love you too idiot." Emery whispered. Ellis was practically a tomato at this point and had also frozen up completely. Emery smirked softly and kissed Ellis's pink cheek. Emery then buried his head into Ellis's chest where he softly fell asleep leaving Ellis to process what happened earlier that night.

When Ellis woke up, his face felt hot and she felt something heavy on his chest. She opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the nightstand. 6:25 AM. She groaned and looked down only to see that Emery had managed to get on top of Ellis and pin him down to the bed so she couldn't get up.

"Emery..." Ellis yawned while poking him awake. Emery stirred and lifted his head from Ellis's chest.

"Huh? What's up?" Emery muttered while rubbing his eyes. Emery got up and yawned. Ellis yawned shortly after.

"God damn. Stop making me yawn idiot!" Ellis snarked. Emery laughed and got closer to him.

"And? What are you going to do about it?" Emery smirked while inching closer and closer. Ellis, still half-asleep, pulled Emery in for a kiss and muttered something in a small but firm voice. Now it was Emery's turn to get flushed red in the face.

Ellis got up and out of bed and stumbled over to the closet. On the other hand, shuffling back into the blanket that Ellis grabbed, Emery snuggled deep into it.

"Come on now Emery, we have to get up and eat breakfast before my parents come home," Ellis said while pulling Emery out of the blankets and onto the floor. Emery tried to pull back but gave up after dropping onto the floor.

"But I don't want to get up... I want to cuddle some more..." Emery whined and curled into a ball on the floor. Ellis was annoyed but gave up after a while of Emery whining.

"What do you want for breakfast? I'll give it to you if you just lay back down on the bed and grab the table thing on my side of the bed." Ellis said while picking Emery up and sitting him up on the bed.

"Can I have waffles? Please!" Emery exclaimed with tired excitement. Emery put the table on top of his legs and then waited patiently for his waffles. Ellis left the room for a while to make them breakfast. When she came back, Emery got excited, and when his plate of waffles got served to him, he wolfed them down, not savouring them at all.

"Oh by the way Emery, I was meant to ask you if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight?" Ellis asked smoothly. Emery paused.

"But won't I get caught if I come downstairs? What about your parents?" Emery pestered with a mouthful of food.  Ellis smirked and grabbed something out of the closet. It was a suit.

"They won't notice you sneaking out of my window to knock on the door and ask for me." Ellis sneered. Emery smiled eerily and moved the desk thing off of his lap.

There was a knock on the front door around 8:30 PM. Liam opened the door to find a boy in a suit standing on the other side. The suit was made of a silk-like material paired with a red tie.

"Hi, is Zoey Smith here?" Emery said, cringing when having to say Ellis' dead name.

"Who are you? What do you want with my stepdaughter?" Liam spoke firmly. Emery smiled.

"My name is Emery Anderson. I'm a friend of your stepdaughter. I work at the same cafe she does." Emery voiced calmly. Liam sighed.

"Come in. I'll go get Zoey." Liam states as he walks up the familiar stairs towards Ellis's room. Emery strode over to the couch and sat down and waited for Ellis. Once he heard them both come down he stood up and smiled happily, like a kid at Disneyland meeting their favourite character.

At the cafe where Ellis worked, table for 2, Emery and Ellis were chatting happily when all of a sudden, a fight broke out.
