Chapter 7:
Eleanora:
Leah and I were sat down for about an hour just asking each other random questions, which involved some debates to whoever was right, she often won.
It was now 11:30 so close to lunch time and I was starting to feel rather hungry. It was my first proper 'unplanned' day at Beth and Viv's apartment so I didn't want to just go in and use their food straight away to make lunch, so decided it would be easier to order, plus I didn't know what Leah liked.

"Do you want to order something for lunch?" I asked

"Sure, what do you feel like?" She asked, I hated this question as I don't like making decisions that also effect other people

"You can choose it's okay" I said

"No no please your choice?" She insisted

"Could you at least give me 3 options of what you would like, then I'll pick" I said trying to make a compromise

"Okay. Pizza. Pasta or Sandwich's" she said

"How bad would the nutritionist hate us if we got a pizza" I asked as the nutritionist in Ajax were quite strict on our diet

"Umm well they will never know, also she is lovely I am sure she won't mind, she already has to deal with me being fussy I am sure she will cope"

"Okay, but I don't think you will be as fussy as me!"

"Hmm let's see"

"Right pizza it is, what type would you like?"

"Margarita please" she said, we were getting pizza from a place called Gracie's Pizza. Leah said they were really good.

"Okay, anything else?" I asked also adding another margarita to the order for myself

"No thank you, but here let me pay" she asked and put her hand out for me to hand the phone over so she could put her bank details in

"Umm no, I'll pay"

"No I will" we were now looking at each other eye to eye with an eye brown raised but not ready to let the other pay, and both holding my phone waiting for the other person to give up

"Oww, oww my head" I began to say, loudly enough for her to think that it was real and put my hand on my head
She then let go of the phone and shuffled closer to me

"Ellie, are you okay do you need anything whats happened!" She said sounding panicked and placing a hand on my shoulder

"Water please" I said trying to wince in pain

"Okay okay, stay there" she said and rushed up to the kitchen counter and was grabbing a glass out of the cupboard and as she was doing that I placed the pizza order.
She then came running back and I was now resting my legs on the table,

"Thank you" I said as she handed me the glass of water still having a worried look on her face, I took a sip, she was standing next to me looking at me incase I asked her for anything else, I then turned to face her with a smile on my face

"Pizzas on the way" and let out a little laugh

"Fleur Evangelina Marina Astrid Miedema you did not just!" She said trying not to laugh

"Whoops, good memory by the way" I said with a grin on my face, shocked that she had remembered my full name as it takes most people a couple of tried before they get it right

"That was nasty! You had me really worried"

"Oh dear, I am very sorry" i said pouting

"You know I didn't expect for you to have a joking side" she said now sounding deep in thought

"Why's that" i said as she sat back down next to me and facing me

"Because Viv is so serious its hard to get a simple laugh out of her sometimes"

"I am definitely not serious, I am very chatty and silly when I feel comfortable around people, Viv is always serious or has a serious look on her face but most of the time she is loving life" I said

Leah:
It was really great knowing that Ellie could express her normal self around me, I mean she used the word herself, it was nice knowing she was comfortable around me.

"Thank you for paying anyway" I said still annoyed about it

"No worries, now we both have something to be annoyed about" she said

"What? What are you annoyed about" i said confused

"Because you showed up here and I look like a state and haven't even had a shower" she said

I laughed slightly which earned me a confused look from Ellie

"I don't think you look bad at all i think you still look beautiful , are you really that annoyed" i said not realised that I have just called her beautiful

"No not really, you look prettier than me at least your dressed I still have my pyjamas on!" she said giving me a smile

"You know something" i started

"Mhm, go on" she said

"No don't worry" I couldn't say what I wanted to say it would make everything very awkward so I left it

"Hmm, okay then well do you want to know something" she said

"Okay"

"I am actually really glad you came over I have had a great time" she admitted, and there is was again that eye contact

"Me to, It's been great to get to know you more, even though the circumstances aren't ideal" I said back to her keeping the eye contact

"Well as my papa always said, Alles gebeurt met een reden" she said, which made my body feel electric, I hadn't heard her speak dutch before. SHIT, no Leah, just friends

I had to quickly remind my self

"Which is" i asked

"Everything happens for a reason" she said smiling and I smiled back
