Eloise Pov

I turn the car off as I sit in Evie's driveway. Olive texted me letting me know that she'd be home alone, her friends decided to cancel their sleepover for some couple shit, and her family happened to be away at the same time separately on vacations. I was upset that they left her alone, but it just means more time for us. 

Relaxing in my seat I wait for Evie to answer my call.

"Hi," Oh my baby, she sounds so sad.

"Angel, I'm outside pack a bag so we can go home."

It's silent for a bit before she sighs deeply. She hangs up and I stare at my phone in shock. I know she's upset and she's terrible at showing that one feeling. Evie hates making people feel bad so she tends to not show those types of emotions. It annoys me but I understand.

I lean against the door and watch as she walks out of her home with her hello kitty duffle bag on her shoulder. She turns to lock the door and quickly makes her way to the car. I get out quickly and open her door for her. She steps under my arm, clearly avoiding eye contact with me. This won't work, but I'll let her be sad until we get to my house.

The car ride is silent and the only few sounds coming from inside the car are her sighs every now and then. I can tell she's nervous and on edge from how quiet I am. Typically, I'd be up her ass about her expressing her feelings but this time I'm just silent.

Eventually, we pull into my yard and I cut the engine, grab her bag and make my way to her side to open the door. She gets out and stands there for a bit. Evies head tilts back as she shyly looks up at me. I stare down at her, staring back at her.

"I am always alone. I like being alone but I hate being lonely." She takes a deep breath. "I know they all had things to do and stuff but them all canceling and leaving at the same time made me feel bad and I felt really lonely."

I pull her into me and shut her door before locking the car. Her arms wrap around my neck as I bend down to pick her up. Evie's been gaining weight and she looks so fucking good, but she's been a bit insecure about it so I just started going to the gym. Easy fix. I loved that she was gaining weight and I didn't want her to feel like she was too heavy for me, even though she never was or will be. 

I walk us inside, dropping her bag, and walking us up to my bedroom. I lay her on my bed and take a step back as I look down at her.

She shakes her head from side to side and whines. "And I was going to call you but I knew the festival was coming soon and I didn't wanna bother you and-"

"Evie, I could be getting crowned and I would stop it if you needed me. For anything."

"Even if it was me needing a hug?"

"Yes, Angel."

I glance at her and narrow my eyes at the giddy look on her face.

"I knew you were fruity."

Evie Pov

The next morning I woke up to Elosie laying in between my legs with her head on my stomach. When she first did this I freaked out because I had gained a bit of weight. She was very confused and then proceeded to tell me I was being dramatic. In her eyes, if my clothes still fit nicely and I'm happy then there was no need for me to freak out about it.

Of course, I ignored her and then she took me over her lap and spanked me until I had tears rolling down my face and was begging her to touch me. The evil woman ignored me and told me to get dressed and I had been plotting against her since then.
