White Lies

Chapter 31

Lilith's p o v :

I did not just say that I don’t want to need Elliot, but I always end up needing him??? "Ohmygoddd, I didn't need a replay of that!!" I whined and laid on the bed, kicking my legs up in the air. I continued whining while rolling on the bed, occasionally kicking my legs in the air and smacking my head.

I immediately stopped when I heard a knock. Thinking it must be Aunt Abigail, I tell her to come in, but boy was I wrong. Elliot came in, looking as handsome as ever, while on the other hand, I looked like a mess, wearing a white oversized tee with coffee stains, black pants, and my hair like a knotted trash can.

"Are you okay?" He asks, and I wanted to tell him. NO, I'M NOT OKAY. I FUCKING CONFESSED WHAT I AM NOT SURE IF I FEEL FOR HIM, BUT I can't say that now, can I?

"Yes, what would happen to me? I'm as good as good can get, hahaahhah." I nervously laugh while spewing nonsense. My brain was yelling at me to stop there, but my mouth had other plans. "What are you even talking about? Look at me; do I look like I'm not okay? Hahaha, no wayyyyyy-"

"You were screaming." Elliot cut off my nonsense. Oh, shit. I frowned. "You must be mistaken, I did no such thing." I state and grin. Elliot snorted, looking like he was going to laugh, and I just stared at him in disbelief. I get up from the bed. "I'm foineeee, leave the room now."

Instead of listening to me, he started walking towards me. I moved back when he got too close and ended up hitting the bed's edge and falling on the bed. He burst out laughing at my pissed-off face. "You're having fun, aren't you?" I glare at him. He stops laughing and gives me his hand to get up.

I hold his hand and pull him down beside me. He falls on the bed, his face lost in the sheets. I start laughing when he gets up on his elbows, his face red.

Suddenly, hands snaked up my waist, completely shutting me up. Goosebumps rise all over my body, and my face heats up. Elliot's face is in front of mine, his breath fanning over my face. I stare at him with wide eyes.

I start laughing like crazy when he starts tickling me. "AHAHAHAA, StAwppppppp AHHHAHAHAHA PLeaSEEEE sTAAPPPPP." He stops after some time, and I lie there, sandwiched between him and the bed, with my hands holding my stomach because it hurt so much after the laughter.

He laid down beside me and we both just lay there in a comfortable silence. I close my eyes when they start hurting, and soon sleep catches up to me.

"Wake up, darling." Aunt Abigail's voice woke me up. I open my eyes and immediately wince when the sunlight hits my eyes. I open one eye and ask her. "What time is it?"

"12 p.m., darling, wake up and come downstairs." I nod my head and close my eyes. After a few minutes, a deep voice whispers into my ears. "Wake up, Tesoro." I immediately open my eyes and sit up. "Alright, I'll go freshen up." I quickly remove the blanket on top of me and stumble into the bathroom.

I smack my head when I realize I forgot my towel and clothes. I wait for a minute just in case Elliot is still in the room. I peek in the room and quickly go to the closet, grabbing a sky blue cropped top with flowers on it, beige pants, and a cardigan. My gaze lands on the gun Elliot gave me. I brought it along with me when we came from his condo.

After quickly bathing and changing, I grab the gun and tuck it in my pants, waistband, and head downstairs. I walk into the kitchen to find Elliot cooking something. I looked around to see if Aunt Abigail was around. She entered from the main door and headed towards me with a wide smile, which I couldn't help but return.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" I ask her, smiling. "Nothing. I'm just happy to see Elliot cook for someone." I felt a hint of jealousy. "Who is it for?"

"For you, who else?" She winks. My eyes drift back toward Elliot again. "I was jealous of myself." I mutter under my breath and smile like an idiot.

I quickly stop smiling when Elliot looks at me with raised eyebrows, asking, 'What are you smiling for?'
I shake my head while mouthing nothing. He just looks at me weirdly and grabs two plates and keeps them on the table.

"Come here." He orders, pointing to the seat beside him. I go and settle myself beside him. "Ohmy!! Waffles and ice cream, yay!" I grin. Elliot chuckles and scoops some ice cream on the waffle. I quickly dig in, moaning in pleasure when the hot waffle and lychee ice cream's taste hits my tongue.

I shut up when I notice Elliot smiling and staring at me. "What are you looking at?" I ask, flustered. "Nothing, continue." He says that and takes the ice cream tub to keep it back in the freezer. I finish eating and go upstairs.

My steps halt in front of my bedroom when I hear a glass-breaking sound coming from Elliot's room. Fear creeps up my body. I quickly entered his room without knocking. Elliot was crouching down without a shirt on him. He faces me when he hears the door open.

I crouch down beside him. "Are you okay? What happened?" I asked, worried, cupping his face and scanning him to see if he had any wounds. I sigh in relief when I see no wounds on him. I look into his eyes when I realize he hasn't spoken a word. I stop cupping his face.

"What-" My eyes widen when, all of a sudden, I feel Elliot's lips on mine.
