"Shut up!" Marlene whispered while covering Elijah's mouth with her hand. They had just made out. In her kitchen. Marlene didn't know what would've happened if they hadn't been interrupted. They had run directly to her room and locked the door before Kate came into the apartment. They were currently in front of her bedroom door with their ears pressed to it. They were trying to figure out who Kate was with.
"It's someone from the male species. Kate was out with a guy!" Marlene whispered and yelled to Elijah, who just had a grin on his face the whole time.
"Why is this such a big deal?" Elijah questioned the erratic girl in front of him.
"Kate doesn't hang out with guys alone... ever. Oh my god, do you think she was out on a date?" She said it excitedly while pressing her ear to the door once again. Elijah shrugged.
The sound of the door closing made them both jolt away from the door. Then the sound of Kate making her way to Marlene's bedroom made them run around in circles, trying to look as normal as possible. They ended up sitting down on the floor on her pink rug, pretending like they were on their phones.
"Hi Marls," Kate said as she opened the door, then stopped to do a double take at Elijah. Marlene prayed that Kate wouldn't give it too much importance.
"Oh, Hey Eli." She said this with a raised eyebrow and a pointed look at Marlene. "Hi," they said in unison.
"I just came in to let you know I brought you dinner... I didn't know you had company." Kate said it suspiciously. Marlene knew that this was Kate's way of apologizing after being rude to her this morning. Kate was more of a show than a person.
"Thanks! Elijah and I were just hanging out, and we were going to watch a movie." Marlene replied, and Elijah nodded rapidly, looking as guilty as ever. Kate furrowed her brows at the action, then nodded.
"Okay then... I'm going to shower. Bye." She said, still looking at Marlene, that she was definitely going to question her about all this when Elijah left. She left the room and closed the door. Both Elijah and Marlene looked away from the door to each other and tried not to laugh.
"Okay, so I guess that's my cue to leave." He said this while wiping his hands on his jeans. The reality of the kiss had not seeped in yet, but it definitely was now, and Marlene was flushed pink.
"Sure, I mean yeah." She squeaked while trying not to make eye contact. "I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"It's okay, I still have to go over the set list with the lads, but I'll see you soon, yeah?" He got up from his spot on the floor, but before leaving, he awkwardly ruffled the top of her head. Marlene could not believe him.
