Surfing with Eli

Chapter 9

Eli:

I felt as if someone was constantly punching me in the face over and over again as I dragged my body into Luka's shower after asking permission to use it.

I needed something to make me feel refreshed and ease up all the sore spots on my body from crashing the night on the damn stairs.

Pressing my forehead against the tiled shower wall letting the hot water run down my back I tried to bring back the memories of last night but it was all a haze.

Though I was pretty sure I did something stupid I just didn't know what it was, this was probably going to bug me until I figured it out.

After drying off and borrowing some of Luka's clothes I headed down stairs following the smell of pancakes.

Walking into the kitchen was like walking into a room of people who just took exams after not sleeping for days and had no coffee. There was groaning and swearing and pain killers being passed around, and right in the middle of it all was Carson happily flipping pancakes and Nick smirking at everyone else sipping on coffee.

"You guys must have had fun last night" he said clinking his spoon around in his mug making all of us cringe and curse his existence.

"Honestly the last thing I remember is waking up in the tub" Grey groaned cupping his head in his hands.

"Your shirt is inside out" I told Miles sitting down on the barstool between him and Luka. "It was on correctly when I showed up to the party" he frowned yanking it over his head and fixing it to put back on the right way.

"Pancakes are ready" Carson announced placing a full plate in the middle of the counter bringing over syrup, whipped cream, fruits and chocolate sauce.

"I like a woman who can cook" Nick grinned with a wink at her before grabbing a plate and snatching up a couple pancakes.

"You like anyone who can cook so you don't have to" Luka replied pouring syrup over the whipped cream on his own breakfast.

"Oh yeah that's right..." Grey said to himself making everyone look over at him, "Do you remember something from last night?" I asked, "Like who's pink flip flop was taped to your hand?" Luka snorted.

"Yeah I remember something" he said facing Miles who was rubbing the bridge of his nose after taking his glasses off for a moment.

"When are we going on our date?" Grey asked him, and everyone paused glancing between the two of them. "Wait... what?" I was confused, since when was this a thing? Was I missing something here?

"I asked you out on a date?" Miles almost choked as he stared at Grey in wonderment not believing it himself.

"Yeah you said something about my eyes and the way you liked my smile and then asked if I wanted to go to the movies or whatever" Grey said scratching his chin as he started eating again while Luka let out a laugh.

"Shut up Luka, not a word" Miles said sending him a glare. Again I got the feeling like I was missing something here.

"I was thinking we could go see a movie tomorrow night since today I am too drained from that party" Grey continued nonchalantly.

"Uh... yeah okay sounds good" Miles mumbled back as a slight red tinge formed on his face, "Aw! That was so cute" Carson gushed making Nick smile at her.

Great, I could see where this was going. This was too much mush for the morning from hell. Luka sipped from his coffee and slid it over to me knowing I wanted some of it since we both took our coffee the same way.

Grinning I picked it up and took a drink noting the fact that this was an indirect kiss.

"Anything come back to you from last night Luka?" Grey asked glancing over at him, "Everything" was all he said as he finished off his pancakes.
