A leap of Faith

Chapter 5: Do it again

Eiva's Pov

I struggle to open my eyes, as I stretch myself. They finally open, still seeing blurry figures I rub my eyes and wait for them to focus. I look around to find Skye still sleeping. I head to her and cover her with the blanket that was on the floor. I guess mom had found us sleeping, and brought them to us.

I run upstairs and take a long and relaxing bath. I head to my room, and apply lotion on my self. I put on my bra and panties. I head to my closet.
" Uhmm.. what to wear? What to wear? " I ask myself while scrolling through all my clothes
I see this dress. It is short, has a floral design to it and it sways to the wind. Perfect summer dress. I bet mom will be surprised to see me in a dress. Since I don't really wear them. I put on the dress and walk to the counter, and I grab my perfume, wear my black pearl earrings and my gold cross necklace. I then go downstairs barefoot since I couldn't find my shoes.
I notice that Wyatt isn't In the living room. So I look for him in the kitchen but he wasn't there. I decided to look for him in the balcony. I find him standing obliviously staring at the sky, the street, and the neighborhood. I get closer to him, and I inadvertently scared him.

" Ohh my bad, I didn't mean to spook you " i say getting even closer to him.

" Hmm it's alright" he says, smiling

" is everything okay? " I asked concerned, because his smile wasn't convincing enough.

" Yeah, everything is fine "

" Hahaha, come on Wy, what's wrong? I can tell that something is bothering you " I say placing my hand on his shoulder.

" Ugh" he sighed " fine, I dreamt about her again. But this time... this time it was different. It felt so very real. She hugged me and I could swear she was right there for me. Her hug warmed my heart I don't know why I liked it so much. It's not that I miss her, it's impossible because I barely know her, in fact I don't her at all. Is she still even alive? My dad left me with so many unanswered questions. I know he did it to protect me and keep me from harms way. But I just need some answers. I want to be able to peacefully sleep at night again, without having to think or dream of the woman who is so called my mother " he sighs clearing his throat before continuing

" How can a person I never met have such an effect on me? It's driving me insane, literally. I know I have no rights to complain you and Mrs.Graham have done enough for me, more than that woman ever did and ever will do. But there is just this voice in my head telling me that I need to find out the truth about the woman who is so called my mother " he says looking down

I hugged him tighter than ever before, letting him know that I was and will always be there for him no matter what. " if you want to find out the truth about your past and your mother, then that's what we're going to do. Together " I say slowly letting go and then making eye contact with him.

We stare deep into each others eyes. I get lost in his pure hazel eyes. I feel one of his hand on my check, and the other around my waist. My honey coloured eyes still staring at his. He pulls me closer. We are chest to chest. Our heart beats are in sync. He lowers his head, while placing his index finger on my chin and lifting my head. I stay on my tiptoes, since his much taller than me. I place my hands on his chest and round his neck. And before we know it, we find ourselves nose to nose. Both our eyes are closed, our lips are about 2 to 3 centimetres apart. I could feel his breath on my lips. Our lips touch and for a moment we completely forgot about all our worries and troubles. As our tongues dance together in lust, our hearts become one .But like everything good it had to come to an end. We let go, still gazing at each other. We smile at each other, and then cuddle for a few minutes before we are interrupted by Skye.

" Eiva?" She shouts

" I guess she is awake " I say

" hahaha yeah, I guess she is " he says as we let go of each other.

" are you coming? " I ask heading to the living room.
" yeah, I'll be there in a few "

I enter the living room, to find Skye on the phone. She has that " omg he called me! " look on her face, literally. Her checks are now tomato red. She covers her face with the palm of her hand. And twirls her long black curly hair with her finger. I grab a pillow from the coach and throw it at her. Landing exactly on her face. She immediately threw it back at me. And laughter filled the living room. I exited to the kitchen while mocking and teasing her. Doing the flirty eyes and repeating her last words trying to copy her voice.

I enter the kitchen, and the first thing to call my attention are the pizza boxes on the kitchen table. They were cold, but nothing a few minutes in the oven couldn't repair. I opened the fridge searching for something to drink. There was cool drinks, milk and OJ ( orange juice) .I settle for a glass of orange juice. I take a glass from the kitchen cabinet and pour the juice in it. Then I head back to the living room. Wyatt is sitting on the coach next to Skye, still talking on the phone.

" Alright...That sounds great. See you " she says with a smile on her face " guess who has a date with Dylan Delorian this afternoon? " she asks rhetorically " I do " she says pointing at her.self while jumping up and down on the coach.

" I don't think your boy toy will be very happy about that " Wyatt says in a teasing manner, referring to Stefan.

" hahaha yeah, and don't forget all those crazy bitches who are completely crazy about him " I say while laughing hard

" Haha " she laughs sarcastically "whatever, you're just jealous " she says heading upstairs and leaving Wyatt and I alone.

" you up for breakfast? " I ask heading to the kitchen

" sure, but only if I can help " Wyatt says winking while standing up from the coach

" haha by help, you really mean watch me while I cook right? I ask ask

" ahaha Yeah, something like that " he says, while reaching for my hand We walk together to the kitchen. We arrived at the kitchen. I place my cup on the dish washer.

" pancakes ?waffles? Or the old eggs, toast and bacon? " I ask

" whatever feels right to you " he says

" then pancakes it is " I say excitingly

Wyatt helps me with the batter. Bringing me the ingredients for the batter. He does as asked. And before we know it, the pancakes were done. We set the table as Skye enters the kitchen in a towel and water dripping from her hair.

" I need help.... everything I try on just isn't good enough " she says with a desperate look on her face " and I've tried it all,Nothing seems to fit"

" hahaha, okay calm down darling. I'll help you, but first let's eat. I'm starving "

We sit and have breakfast together. As we listen to Skye's crazy story about the perfect date.
