*Friday afternoon*
I was standing in from of my long mirror staring at my reflection. I really wanted to look good for Levi, but I wasn't exactly the prettiest girl in the world. I'm not even sure why he asked me out tonight. Maybe he felt bad for me.
I walked into walk in wardrobe to try and decide what I would wear. After almost an hour of trying to figure it out. I settled on a pink and white floral playsuit with my pink sandals.
I jumped in the shower and washed every inch of my body. I washed my hair thoroughly and shaved my legs and underarms. I hipped out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I tied it up in a pony tail while I did my make up. Once that was all complete I pulled my hair out of the hairband and straightened it to perfection parted in the middle. I placed a white bow on one side of my head. I walked back into my bedroom and got dressed and put my shoes on. I checked my phone and saw had a new message. I opened it go eager to see who it was. It read:
Hello beautiful. I'm leaving my place now, so I should be there in about 10 minutes. Really looking forward to seeing you. Levi x
A smile spread across my face as I did a check in the mirror. I smiled at the girl looking back at me. I quickly grabbed my purse, phone, keys and money and walked downstairs to wait for Levi.
"Where are you going?" My brother Alex asked as he looked at me in disgust.
"I'm going on a date tonight. So I should probably go." I replied trying to make it to the door before he could answer. But luck wasn't in my favour.
"Who would go on a date with you? I mean look at you, you're absolutely disgusting. You are fat and just worthless. I hope you're date goes bad and he realises he's making a mistake." I ran away with tears starting to form in my eyes. I used to swear I'd never let him get to me, but I could never help but think. What if he's right? I know I'm not stunning. Maybe I should cancel the date. But before I could I heard the doorbell. I raced to the door so Alex wouldn't get it, but he pushed me away and opened up the door.
"Can I help you?" Alex asked Levi rudely.
"Uh I'm looking for Elle? I'm Levi." He was trying to be nice but Alex isn't nice to anyone.
"Just don't bother taking her out tonight. she's not worth anything. Look at her mate, she's so ugly. Just save yourself the embarrassment and leave her at home. You could do a hell of a lot better." He said and closed the door in Levi's face.
I ran outside to Levi still standing at the door with a worried look on his face.
"I'm sorry about him, but he's right, you can do better, so just go please. I don't want to hold you back from someone prettier or skinnier." I said while wiping the tears from my face and ran back inside and up to my room not giving him the chance to explain.
My phone was buzzing like crazy so I looked down and saw 3 text messages from Levi.
Babe, you are perfect! don't listen to him, you are beautiful.
Elle, let's just go OK? We can hang out at my house if you want.
Sweetie, I know you are upset, but don't let him get to you. He can say what he wants but I won't leave without you. it's our date night.
I decided to put him out of his misery and text back.
Me: Hey, sorry. He is always like that. I'm fine, you can go if you want.
Levi: not without you. let's go?
Me: alright I'll be down in a minute then. so
I wiped the tears from my cheeks and under my eyes and walked back down stairs and out the door. I ran to Levi and he embraced me in a long hug.
We hopped in the car and he drove us to a park, and we sat down on a bench watching the stars just enjoying each others company.
We stayed like that for 2 hours until I got tired.
"Come on beautiful, you can stay at my house." He said as he helped me off the seat and walked me to the car. It was a quick drive to his house and he took me straight to his room.
He got out some rugby shorts and a long T-shirt for me and I went to his bathroom to get changed. For a boy, he had a really clean room.
I walked back out and caught a glimpse of his perfect body while he was pulling his shirt over his head.
"You can have my bed, I'll sleep on the couch over there." He said nodding his head over to the tiny couch tucked in the corner of his room.
"That's tiny. I honestly don't mind sharing the bed. It's fine Levi." I said making my way over to him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the bed and we lay down under the blankets. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
"You honestly are beautiful Elle. Goodnight." He said as the turned off the bedside lamp and within a matter of minutes we were both asleep in each others arms. It was even more comfortable than sleeping with Reece. This just felt perfect.
