THE TWO OF US

Part Thirteen

Gabriella's POV
Life had been the same until yesterday Eli texted saying we should meet up for the coffee I wanted to treat him to. And as I'm dressing up now I can't deny the fact that my heat is beating in rhymes, like what is wrong with me? I have never felt this way before, I isn't even around me now and I'm already a mess, what if he is? I'm so crazy right now.

I wore denim skirt and a white tank top, I left my hair down, doing my little makeover I strolled down waiting for his text, which came almost immediately. It says he was waiting outside, I dashed out to see him in a red Porsche, tell me why this guy is doing a part time work again. He was looking so eatable in his jean and black T-shirt that fit his body like a second skin, a white tiny chain that never leaves his neck and a black shade. He smiled at him, opening his car door, and my stupid heart started beating again, I said a small thank you and slipped into his car, he went to the drivers seat and we drove off.

"You look good" he said with a small smile on his lips which I returned back.

"You look eatable" was all my idiot self could say, my eyes popped out when I realized what I said, I threw my palms over my mouth which made him let out a chuckle. "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to....."

"No, I like you being real" he said his gaze on the road but a smile still tugging on his lips. I just hope today goes well without me acting stupid or embarrassing myself any further.

We got to a Ca..... huh? It not a cafe, Eli brought me to a freaking five star restaurant, I knew about this place cause dad and I came here once. "You didn't want a coffee with me anymore?" I asked kind of sad he didn't think my offer was worth it.

"You take coffee almost every day Briella, I wanted to treat you to something nice" he said sweetly, too sweetly for my own good, and what was that nickname? Jesse this guy would be the death of me. Suddenly I want to frame the Name Briella on my forehead. Urgggh. "Come" He said opening his car door, and getting out I did the same and we both went inside. This restaurant is a five star for a reason. You all know how five star restaurant are so no much elaborations. We took a seat somewhere serene and private, almost immediately the waiter came over to take our orders. I ordered pasta and a bottle of coke surprisedly Eli ordered the same as me. "So tell me about you" He said resting his back on his seat and staring at me intently, why is he he that, I gulped feeling my heart beating stupidly again.

"Well, I'm 20, kind of socially awkward, spent most of my days reading novels, listening to music or sleeping" I said the last part lowly but I guessed he heard, now he would think I'm a depressed, lonely girl who nobody wants to mingle with, why did I tell him that. I mentally face palmed.

"That's interesting" he said with amusement "You net rose how?" He asked taking a sip of water, and I watched how his Adam apple budged when he swallowed the water, something is definitely wrong with me. I cleared my throat

"We met in a not so good situation" I chuckled then continued, narrating how I met rose crying to how we ended the day being friends.

"Rose can be really dramatic at times you know that right?" He asked digging into his pasta the waiter brought few minute ago and I did the same to mine.

"Very very" I chuckled softly "enough about me, tell me about you" I said giving him a smile

He chuckled "What do you want to know?"

"I would have said Anything there is to know about you but seeing you talk like you get spank for it Let me just ask" I said firmly, which earned me  a chuckle from him. "So what do you study here in college?" I asked

"Computer" he said making me want to roll my eyes, Can't he just flow with me, how am I going to be comfortable with him speaking like this.

"Really? What made you interested?" I asked, I'm not really the one to air a conversation or worst keep it going but I'm doing weird things lately.

"It has been something I loved since I was little" little? Bet he would have told Sophie about his dreams and what not, I can't deny i felt a tinge of jealousy in me, but I pushed it away immediately it came. "I have always been curious about how much I can know about it" he added just when I thought he had finish speaking.

"That's nice, so you work part time at the cafe, why if I may ask, seeing you probably don't need the money" I asked one of the questions that had been confusing me.

"I just want to do something," he had simply said, I wasn't satisfied with his answers but am sure as Hell I'm asking Rose later, knowing her she is going to spill every fucking thing.

"So what do you do with the money?" I asked taking a sip from my coke.

"I donate to the orphanage" he said casually, aww apart from the fact that he is drop dead gorgeous and eatable, he also has a kind heart. My eyes went to his lips and I felt like kissing them so bad, my hormones are going crazy today, I just hope I don't do something I would regret.

"That very good." I said smiling at him, he only nodded and continued his pasta. I still wanted to ask him other questions especially his personal life and about Sophie but I don't want to seem nosy and after all this while of know Eli he is kind of a secretive person who doesn't just talk anyhow.

"You don't really talk much why?" I asked again, honestly it not like I am really interested in whatever he is saying, and it not like I'm not. But I just want to keep listening to his voice it's so soothing and put me at ease even than "my little paradise" does.

He chuckled "because I am more of a thinker than a talker" he said like it the obvious thing ever. I hummed, nodding my head. "You talk to much don't you?" He asked with a smirk on his lip. Just to only you, I wanted to say but I decided not to scare him away before he thinks I'm some desperate obsessive girl.

"It depends" was all I said, which made him only nod. Before I could ask another question his phone rang making his facial expression change drastically, a shiver ran down my spine. I have never seen him like this and I bet whoever was calling Isn't his favorite person, but he didn't pick up.

"I should drop you home, I had a nice time, we should do this often" he said with a small smile on his lips which made me blush.

"Yeah we should" I said getting up, he intertwined our hands together making an electric shock ran through my spine, and I'm sure as hell he felt that too. We got to his car.

Next weekend?" He suddenly said and I nodded

"Next weekend it is" a smile playing on my lips. I was being cool and collected but in my head I was going crazy, I have so many things to fantasize about tonight.
