I woke up early morning in a house I don't recognise, I start to get up and realize my head is pounding from the party all I remember is chugging a bottle of vodka for a kiss with Ellie.
I walk around and see loads of pictures with a young girl and her dad. I am at Ellie's, I walk to the kitchen and decide to make her breakfast as a thank you for letting me stay.
It's 8 o'clock, I look in the fridge and decide to make pancakes because they had the ingredient when I spotted the note from her dad saying he left town. I felt bad that she was alone in this house this week. I carry on cooking and couldn't take my mind off the fact that she will be alone.
I'm listening to music quietly while I cook when Mama Mia came on. I started dancing around the kitchen and singing quietly when I heard a chuckle, I turned my head to see Ellie standing in a long t-shirt and a pair of short shorts. She looked amazing even without makeup. I realized my cheeks heated up.
"Carry on, how are you feeling?" she asked
"I don't remember much, but I do have a banging headache."
"I can imagine, you did drink a lot," she smiled.
Her smile again.
I flipped the last pancake and put them on the plate.
We both ate them up fast. I was cutting my pancake when she spoke up.
"Last night-" she paused, I nodded her to encourage her to carry on.
"You called me Lee for a nickname,"
I stare at her that I can't tell if she liked it, but drunk me made a bold move.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lee," her cheeks turned red at my response. She liked it. Nickname ticked off.
I washed up the pan and plates I used, i could feel her watching me, and when I was done, I sat beside her on the sofa. She was watching TV.
"I'm get going soon. Are you alright being alone this week?" she turned to me with a surprise face.
"How did you -" she turned to the counter it was at and realized she never threw it away.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm used to it. I'll see you to the door, though." we stood, and I walked to the door. I thanked her for staying with me. She watched me walk away and closed the door behind me
I got in the and I could feel the headache getting worse so I drive back to my house.
Ellie's pov -
I just had a boy I have known a day to sleep in my house. I should have been scared, but I wasn't. I called amelia, who had a bad hangover and went to the shop to get her things to help. I got back to my house with a bag full of snacks and drinks and put them on the counter.
The doorbell went, and it was amelia, I'm planning on not telling amelia about last night. I know I should, but I might in tomorrow.
"Hey, amelia,"
"Shh, too loud," she moaned,I just laughed.
We came in, and she sat beside me on the sofa and told me all she could remember. She remembered up to the beer pong. I wouldn't be surprised. She drank loads of the tequila shots and more.
"Ellie," she stopped and stared at me.
"Yes,do you need to sleep? You can go upstairs. "
"Who's jumper is that?" She looked at the ground where arlo took it off last night. Shit
"Umm, mine,"
"Tell me the truth," she watched me dead in the eye
"Arlo's," I whispered
"WHAT?" she stopped and rubbed her head as she shouted too loud.
"As soon as I finish my nap, you tell me everything." she got up and left to my room.
I picked the jumper up and put it by the door so I could give it to him today.
"Ells, I need you to go jacksons. He has my purse from last night," she called down the stairs.
"NOW, he leaves to go work in 10 minutes."
"For god sake, amelia," I shouted back up to her.
I'm still in my pyjamas, I grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a jumper and jumped in the car.
I got their in a few minutes to spare, I knocked on the door, and I could hear someone say that they would get it.
The door opened, and Jackson opened the door.
"Come in, her purse is in here." he opened the door wider.
I came in and waited for him to give me the purse so I could leave.
"Can i ask you a few questions about Amelia?" he handed me her purse.
"Of course, I know her better than anyone." I smiled
He asked me loads of questions like her favourite flower, her favourite film, and many others.
"What's her middle name?"he asked me.
"Zinc, I know it's odd, but it has a meaning. She will tell you at some point." Then there was a knock at the door.
Jackson went to go get the door, so I started to grab my stuff, and then Arlo walked in. When he saw me, he stopped and just stared and smiled at the jumper I was wearing, I looked down to realize I was so much in a rush that I put his jumper.
He smirked.
"You look nice," he chuckled to himself.
Ugh, this is so embarrassing. Why me?
"Mmh," I rolled my eyes.
"I'm leaving," I said
"Bye Lee," he said. I just walked away.
I need to give it back next time I see him, i can smell his cologne on it, and it was unusually comforting. I would off gave it back in there, but I had nothing on underneath. I never been so embarrassed. I don't like him I need to stop he is rude and has a big ego but- no stop no loving I can't love anyone.
