𝖕𝖆𝖗𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖊𝖓

as haiden lay in the hotel bed, she kept recalling the events of the night.
elijah had not only kissed her sober and willing, but in front of almost everyone had they have been so lucky, and yet they were still friends. all she wanted to do was kiss him again, but still she was unsure if that was a step too far

lounging around in your underwear is never an issue until you're startled by a knock at the door, she paused whatever nonesense was playing on the hotels television, dragging herself out of the bed and throwing on the nearest t-shirt she could find.
the clock on the nightstand read 11:35pm, haiden assumed it was most likely spencer at her door waiting to discuss all the juicy details of her kiss from earlier in the night

but when she opened the door, she was met face to face with elijah

"i wasn't expecting you" she blushed slightly, looking up at him

"i couldn't sleep" he gave a tired smile, to which haiden let him into her room and locked the door behind him

"is everything okay?" she asked, climbing back into her side of the bed as he sat beside her under the covers, the noise from the television continued. she worried that whatever had happened earlier, regardless of if it was eli's choice, may have caused a riff between the two souls.

"why wouldn't it be?" he smiled as he looked over at her, playing with her hair. she smiled at the idea, no matter what they were doing or where they were, he always had to have some form of contact with her and be close.

"i just wasn't expecting you to be...here"

"i've gotten used to sleeping in the same bed as you for nearly a week, im struggling" he laughed

"i can't believe that weeks almost up... i haven't missed my apartment at all, and by the sounds of it nav's not missed me being there" she laughed back, laying beside him as her leg brushed against his own

"well... you don't have to go back really"

"what do you mean?" she looked up at the brunette boy, her hand rest on his chest as she played with his necklace

"you could stay with me a little longer?" he raised his eyebrow at her "my mam and eve love you, they won't stop talking about you... and i cant imagine not having you around haiden"

she smiled softly and nodded, curling up into his side "i'd like that..." 

he hummed and kissed her forehead gently, before pressing a kiss to her nose and then a kiss to her lips her again. she rest her hand against his cheek, her fingers gently caressing the stubble, as his hand worked it's way to her hip. they lay like that for a few minutes, exchanging nothing but small kisses and sweet giggles

"haiden?"

"yes eli?"

"be mine"

"what?"

"it's not how i wanted to do it, i had a whole idea of taking you to the top of the eiffel tower and asking you there but i've already ruined that plan by kissing you and i can't bare waiting any longer" he sighed, looking down at her as he searched for an answer in her eyes

she bit her lip gently as her hand worked it's way back to his chain "what're you saying?"

"will you allow me, to be your boyfriend miss haiden moore?" he smiled causing her to laugh

she placed another gentle but passionate kiss to his lips as she nodded "there's nothing i've wanted more eli"

and with that, the pair fell asleep in the comfort of each others arms. the sound of the television continuing as they slept but they couldn't care, they had each other and that's all they needed.
each other and no one else.
