Heart's obsession

Chapter 3 - Dinner anyone

Elijah

I wake up feeling rested, stretching my arms. I reach over to my phone to see my friends blowing up our group chat.

Fredboy: omg cam told us about last night im so sorry for making you come are you ok

Chris: i've never seen you have an anxiety attack at a party i would have never made you come if i knew

Me: guys please relax im fine and i made it home

Fredboy: thank god i don't know what i would have done if something bad happened to you at that party

Chris: yea definitely not forcing you to come to anymore parties you can be a homebody as much as you want

Me: guys something did happen at the party tho the whole reason i left to begin with.

Chris: oh my god did someone touch you i'll kill them

Fredboy: omg was it cam i swear i thought all my friends were nice

Me: oh my gosh guys nothing like that well at least not much can we call

Chris: of course

Fredboy: yes

I get up facetiming the group chat going to my bathroom but they answer immediately, i prop the phone up on the sink "pretty boy you have graced us with your abs today" chris says propping his phone up in his nightstand as he is still in bed "it's really not fair you have better abs than us when you are as dainty as a woman" i gasp at freddy's words "some nerve coming from an 18 year old with a dad bod" offense dripping off my words freddy and chris laugh. i swear they get off on irritating me "guys this is beside the point i have something serious to tell you" i start to wash my face " ok ok we're listening" they say at the same time " so it seems i have a stalker" i start they both stare at me then start laughing i take this time to start brushing my teeth "are you fucking with us" chris asks and i shake my head they start laughing again still not believing me "thats like some movie shit dude" i spit into the sink rinsing my mouth "well now its some real life shit dude he watched me the whole night then came to me while i was having my episode" i explain. They look at me like they don't believe me but I see the realization starting to set in. "woah dude are you serious" freddy ask " yes dude why the fuck would i make this up" i said not necessarily irritated at him but in general " and it's a guy" chris asks as if trying to understand "unfortunately" I sigh. They both fall out laughing i walk away from the phone and start running my shower water "that's not funny but the fact that it's a dude doesn't surprise me at all" freddy says still laughing i groan "i think you guys are secretly in love with me" i say folding my arms in front of my chest with a pout. They laugh even harder "oh gosh you're so cute" chris says rolling around in his bed trying to catch his breath. I huff and walk to feel if the water has warmed up. "He also said that i will be his" i say walking back to my phone "was he cute" chris asks with a smirk. A dark blush encompasses my face "no" i say a lot faster than im willing to admit i close my eyes releasing a breath i mentally facepalm myself "i mean no" i say more relaxed " so he is cute why not give him a chance" freddy smirks "um did you miss the stalker part of this conversation" he laughs but a devious smirk spreaded across chris's face "so you would be with him if he wasn't a stalker is what you're saying" i gasp "thats it im hanging up i need to shower" i don't wait for a response and hang up. Taking my boxers off I hop into the shower letting the hot water melt away the stress of last night. " I would never be with a guy" I mumble to myself as I start to clean myself.

After fighting with my mom about what to wear to the dinner we settled on a black ribbed knit polo tucked into some cream dress pants with a belt. I put my hair into a bun and left some hairs down to frame my face. I sprayed cologne on my wrists while looking at myself in the mirror. I smiled at my appearance "I dress up real nice when i want to" i mumble to myself. "ELIJAH ARE YOU READY YET" my mother yells from downstairs. "I'm coming" I grab my long coat as it's chilly outside.
