"Ella, Ella....."
Ivan's gently nudging me and I feel him caress my cheek.
"Ella, Ella....."
Ivan's gently nudging me and I feel him caress my cheek.
"God you're so beautiful, I hope you know it too." Ivan whispers.
I'm awake but I pretend to still be sleeping because I want to hear more. I know I shouldn't be comparing him to Jason but I can't help it after being treated like shit for 5 years, being called bitch, slut, skank, asshole. You name it. So dammit so what if I want to hear compliments for once in my life! Ok now he's nudging me a little harder.
"Ella wake up, I have to get you home."
My eyes flutter and I slowly open them to do my best at pretending to be asleep.
"Oh hi." I say with a smile.
"Good morning sleeping beauty."
See isn't that nice? Why wouldn't I want to hear this from him?
I blush "sleeping beauty eh?"
"You sure are! I've been drawn to how beautiful you since the moment I laid eyes on you."
"Ok you are making me blush." I try to say as cool as possible.
"It's totally worth it, Ella." He says as if he is staring into my soul. "Anyway Courtney has been blowing up your phone and I really don't want to make her or Brad mad at me."
"Don't worry about them, they won't be mad. They just probably want to know that I'm alive." I chuckle.
He reaches over and brushes my cheek. "I love your laugh."
So now I'm smiling profusely and can't stop. I think this smile has been permanently planted on my face. I haven't been able to smile like this in ages. I told Courtney I didn't want to get involved with anyone for a while, but I'm stupid if I let him go. My phone rings interrupting my thoughts. It's Courtney.
"Hi Courtney!"
"Ella where are you?" She asks with concern.
"I'm still with Ivan. We left the restaurant and drove to Hyde park where we parked and talked." I explained. "Sorry we fell asleep, I'll be home soon."
All of a sudden she squeals! "Did you get laid miss Ella?!?!"
"Um no?"
"You did, didn't you?"
"No end of story." I answer annoyed."I'll be home soon." I hang up the phone.
"Everything ok Ella?"
"Yeah Courtney is just being over protective." I try to smile when saying that. "Want to go get breakfast?"
"Sure! Where would you like to go?"
"Let's go to Donna's Diner, they have the best French toast ever! Well I guess that is if you like French toast."
"Like??? I love French toast!"
Who is he? He's perfect! Could this be love at first sight? Maybe? I don't know.
We head off to the diner!
