What are we?

My eyes keep going back to his grey ones which are ready to devour me any minute. Eli has been holding back from pouncing on me ever since his phone pinged and he dragged me to his car. He is driving us to Elite's mansion, the only information he was willing to give along with the fact Remi asked for me. 

What a rocking side profile he has!

I tune out the simps in my head before turning the other side. I feel the heat of his gaze on me which makes me blush. I try to hide it with my hair when I feel his fingers brush against my cheeks. He tucks my hair behind my ear before caressing my lips. 

"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" his gentle voice surprises me. 

In my living memory there was not a time when Eli has taken a gentle tone with me. May be when I was too young but definitely not in the last decade. 

"Are you kidnapping me?" I ask him. 

"Kidnapping you to Elite's mansion? Yes, I am" I could tell from his expression that he was amused. 

I mentally chide myself for asking stupid questions and force a smile at him. Something changed between us but I'm not able to put my finger on it. The uncertainty is not helping my anxiousness at all. 

Talking about anxiety, my mind drifts back to the party where Ashton was talking to me while Eli was busy on his phone. I was waiting for Eli to barge in and pull Ashton away from me and create a scene but the grey eyed prince was busy on texting.

The jealousy that ripped through my body was too much for me to handle. Turns out he was texting Remi, still how the fuck did Remi managed to pull his attention away from me?

So out of spite I agreed to Ashton's request of talking somewhere private. It might not have been the brightest idea to leave with a guy I barely know but I went ahead with it anyway. We were inside the room for hardly five minutes before the door was opened forcibly.  

Truth to be told I was close to regretting my decision as Ashton was behaving a bit weird. Neither did he touch me nor did he gave me creepy looks but he looked nervous. He looked like he was waiting for someone else. Now that can't be true, right, because who could possibly want me and Ashton alone. Or why would Ashton even agree to it?

Just when I was about to choose flight mode, Ashton pulled uno reverse on me. Yes, he rushed inside the bathroom without saying anything. Five seconds later the door was kicked open and Eli entered the room and we ended up in the terrace kissing. 

I still can't believe Eli kissed me under the stars like I've dreamed for years. It was too surreal and thinking about it makes me blush to the toes. For reasons unknown, I have the urge to tell Eli about Ashton and his behavior today. However I'm a bit scared of his reaction and the state of our growing relationship, if you could even call it as one. 

May be one day but not today, I tell myself before turning towards him. 

"You seem distracted" Eli's lips thinned into a line showing his disapproval. 

"Just thinking" I say. 

"Thinking about what?" For a second I contemplate on telling about Ashton's behavior but decided against it. 

"On where we stand" I say instead. I blurted out the second last conversation I wanted to have with him. 

I saw Eli's jaw tick and his hands holding the steering wheel tight but he says nothing. Silence fills the car as he keeps driving and my anxiety is shooting high enough to touch the peak of Mt. Everest.
