Love Is Worth Waiting For

Chapter 1

Ugh. Megan. I've always hated that name. I've always hated her. What's funny is she loves me like a sister. But she is far from a sister to me. She's not even a friend. Now It's not like she's rude to me. She's a lovely person. I hate her because I know she's a gold digger. And that's why-. I was interrupted by Max yelling my name. I sigh. "EL!" Max yells. "WHAT!" I yell back. "COME SAY HI TO MY MATE!" he yells. "NAH!" I yell. "WOW!" I hear a guy yell. I quickly get up from my bed and make my way downstairs. "Who's the lucky guy I get to piss off today?" I ask as I walk into the lounge. "You're not pissing off another one of my mates," Max says. "Aww," I say acting sad. I look to the left to see a tall slightly chubby pale-skinned guy sitting on the sofa. "Damn if I can't annoy him can I fuck him?" I blurt out. "EL he's taken and he's 27!" Max yells. "What I'm old enough," I say. I watch as the guy laughs. "So what's his name?" I ask. "Chris," Max says. Shit that's Megan's boyfriend. "Hi," I say. "What's up," Chris says. "Not much you?" I ask. "Same," Chris says. "Cool," I say. So I think Megan's boyfriend is fit. Now that's awkward. I watch as Max gets up and walks into the kitchen. "El do I know you? You look familiar" Chris says. "I think so I know your girlfriend Megan" I say. "Oh are you mates?" he asks. "Something like that," I say as I sit beside him. We both sat in silence until Max came back. "I have to go out Chris do you mind staying with El? I know you barely know each other but I don't like leaving El on Their own" Max says. "Yeah that's fine" Chris says. I quickly get up and make my way to my room. I lay down on my bed facing the door knowing Max would ask Chris to stay with me in my room.

later.

I soon heard a knock on my door. I grab my phone and pretend to scroll through apps. "Come in," I say. I watch as the door opens and Chris walks in. I watch as he closes the door and leans on the wall. "What you looking at?" he asks. "Nothing interesting" I say turning off my phone and looking up at him. "You're quite small ain't you," he says laughing. I get up and walk towards him. "Small how dare you" I say crossing my arms. He laughs and crouches in front of me. "Well you're short," he says. "I'm not short you're just tall," I say. I watch his smile fade when his phone rings. "Hey babe what's up?" he says. I could just about hear the girl talking. It was Megan. "Can you come home now we need to sort this out," she says. "Can we talk about this later?" Chris asks. "Fine," she says. I watch as he puts his phone in his pocket. "So what was I saying? " he asks trying to hide the pain in his voice. I sigh. "Your girlfriend is a gold digger" I blurt out. "I know," he says. He knew? I stretched my arms so I could hug him around his neck. He hesitates but wraps his arms around my waist. "How old are you again?" he asks. "I'm 18," I say. "Thank god" he whispers. "Why?" I ask. "If you move any closer I'm sure you'll figure it out" he says laughing awkwardly. "Oh," I say. "That's probably weird 'cause I'm taken," he says. "Nah it's cool it's normal," I say. I hear him sigh. I let go of him but he doesn't let go of me. I rest my head on his shoulder. Well against it. "I feel like you normally hate hugs," he says. "Yeah but for some reason I don't mind this" I say. He laughs. I soon heard the front door open. "You should go," I say. "Give me a minute," he says placing his head on mine. I smile slightly. He then lets go of me. I walk over to my bed and sit down. "Bye," he says as he leaves my room closing the door behind him. I sigh. "Bye," I whisper.

Later.

I was just lying on my bed when I got a call from Megan. I sigh. I quickly answer the call. "Hey El I don't have much time but my number is *******" Chris says. I quickly add the number and text him. "It's added what's up?" I ask. "Not much just-" he was interrupted by Megan entering the room. Before I could say anything the call ended. I sigh. Why did he give me his number? I soon get a text from Chris.

C: Hey sorry about that I wanted your number but didn't wanna ask Max for it in case he thought it was weird

E: Hey don't worry about it but why did you end the call?

C: Megan doesn't want me talking to you

E: Then why are you?

C: Because I want to

E: Fair

C: How did you know Megan was a golddigger?

E: I overheard her talking to a mate saying she likes you but only cares about your money and fame

C: Fair

I turn off my phone and stare at my ceiling. That was until I got a call from Chris. I answered not realising it was on face time. "Shit sorry" I say pulling my top up. "It's fine. Nice tits by the way" he says laughing. "Don't let your girl hear you say that?" I say. "She's in a mood with me I don't think she'll give a fuck" he says. I soon realised I could see his shoulders and his chest. Great I'm on a call with a guy who's topless. "Why is she in a mood?" I ask. "Because I got your number," he says. "Fucking hell jealous much," I say. "Yeah," he says. We both sat in awkward silence for what felt like hours. "Babe, who are you on a call with?" I hear Megan Yell. "One sec El," he says moving his phone lower down so Megan couldn't see it if she came into his room. The issue is I could now see his full chest. I wanted to say something but I didn't want Megan to know he was on call with me. So I just muted myself. "I was on a call with one of the guys but just ended it" Chris yells back. "Okay," Megan yells. "Sorry about that" Chris says moving his phone back to where it was before. I unmute myself. "It's okay," I say. "Did you enjoy the view?" he asks when he sees how red my face is. "Shut up," I say jokingly. He laughs. "CHRIS!" Megan yells. "I have to go bye El" Chris says before ending the call. I sigh. "Bye," I whisper. I turn off my phone and place it on my bedside table. I should get some sleep.
