OPHELIA'S POV:

I feel myself starting to wake. I try to move around but I'm constricted by something, or rather someone. And in that moment, I remembered what had happened. I had sex with my fucking bestfriend. He stayed at my house. He asked me on a date. HE LIKES ME. God, this all just feels like a dream. I tried to move without doing much, so he doesn't wake up, just to try and admire his face. Something I really love about his face is his nose, and the freckles peppered around it, his eyelashes, what's there to not love about? He looks so peaceful and happy while sleeping. I never want to stop seeing this sight.

I just couldn't help myself, and so I started to caress his face. This is just so right. Some seconds later, Elijah tried to open his eyes.

"Good morning, Lia." He says in his morning voice. He holds me even tighter than before, and leaves a little kiss on my head.

"Good morning, Eli!" I giggled. "Would you like to have breakfast here or... hm, at your house?"

He checks the clock and answers me.

"Ophelia, believe me when I tell you there will not be a plate of breakfast at my house for me at this hour." Oh. He's right. It's 12:51 pm "And I won't let you have breakfast alone, so, come on now. Let's get up."

In all honesty, I had no desire to get out of bed. But I had to. He was already missing from his house because of a little thing that happened... yeah, a little thing.

We were just getting out of bed when Elijah spoke.

"Ok. Let's go." Elijah was putting his pants on.

Shit.

I forgot I'm like... a little.... um... bare skinned. "WAIT! STOP! DON'T LOOK!!! I'M FULLY NAKED HERE." I grabbed my bed sheet and tried to cover most of my body. Elijah wasn't really helping. He was having a laughing fit.

"Come on, man, this isn't funny." I said pretending to be angry, as in reality I couldn't really feel genuine anger towards him.

Elijah's laughter calmed down and he started picking up my underwear. "It's not as if I haven't seen you like this already, Lia." I mean, he had a point, but still... It is somewhat awkward.

He handed me my things. I muttered a quick thanks.

I quickly put on my underwear and grabbed some big band tee. "Now, Eli, could you please carry me to the kitchen? Pretty please!" I gave him my best puppy eyes. He chuckled.

"How could I say no to you? Sure thing, m'lady." As soon as he said that, he took me bridal style down the stairs and everything. He put me down when we reached the kitchen.

I gave him a little kiss on the cheek. "Ah, thank you, you kind sir." I started looking for the ingredients. "Is it okay if I make some corn tortillas with cheese and eggs? It's a pretty typical breakfast from where I'm from." I smiled remembering the good times I had there. (A/N: It is not a taco tortilla!! This is totally different!)

"Yeah, sure, why not? I'd like to eat some traditional dishes from your country, and I guess today is my lucky day!" He said very genuinely interested in my culture.

"Everyday with me is your lucky day, guapo." I said while giving him a wink. He rolled his eyes in a sarcastic manner.

"You'll have to prove it to me." He said to me in a sassy tone.

"Oh do I, now?" I let out a small giggle. "Didn't know I needed to prove my luckiness to you, little Eli."

He stood up from his seat, coming up to me, and said "Well, you do." When he finished talking he gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

I turned red, how could I not?!

But once again doubt clouded my mind. So I turned around to face him, his arms still around me. "Eli, you don't think what we did was wrong or anything...? I just can't seem to... I can't seem to actually process what happened. We are pretty young. I mean, this is a huge thing, and I know I'm mainly the reason it happened but fuck, what if your parents find out? OR WORSE WHAT IF MY PARENTS FIND OUT. THIS WILL ALL GO TO FU-"

Elijah cut me off to say something. He grabbed my face and made me look into his eyes.

"Ophelia, I'm gonna need you to relax. If none of us bring it up in front of others everything will be fine. It's not wrong to want to have a private moment with someone that you care for, hell, even if you do it for fun, it will never be wrong."

He was making some sense. "Yeah, you're probably right. I'm sorry." I really did feel sorry. It's just that I'm not very good at handling some situations.

"Don't be, Lili." Said Elijah, that made a little humorous giggle escape my mouth. That nickname was new. "And I know how you're feeling, believe me this is the first time I've done something like this too. So, we're in this together."

Ok. We'll be alright.

Some minutes later...

"I think it's time I go back to my own." Elijah said while frowning.

"You're right, you're right. I'll see you... soon?" I asked while giving him a hug.

"You best believe it, Lili." He kissed my forehead.

We then separated so I could open the front door so he could leave my house. We sorta awkwardly stood on the entrance. Why are we acting like this now?

Elijah broke the silence. "Um, I guess I'll go now."

"Ah, yeah. You're right..." I stood there nodding my head. "Well, bye Eli."

I didn't know if I should give him a hug or something. But he made the move and gave me one, then a kiss on the forehead.

"Good bye, Lilia." And then he disappeared into the home-filled streets.
