✔Alex's POV

"Ellie. What are you doing here?!" Her dad yells and I feel Ellie flinch back at his tone.

"I- Uh.. I'm playing hide and seek! Go away! They are gonna find me!" Ellie replies evidently nervous and her dad's annoying groan is heard throughout the room.

"What is this? Or should I say who is this?" He says probably pointing at me since my hoodie inevitably wasn't the best of Ellie's ideas.

"There's nothing in here! Shoo! Go away!" Ellie says childishly and I'm trying so hard to contain my laughter at her feeble excuses.

"No!" Ellie utters groaning before the hoodie is pulled away from my head by her dad.

It was going to happen sooner or later.

"Hello." I mutter waving my hand at both of them while her dad rolls his eyes extremely annoyed.

"Who are you and what are you doing with my daughter in a dark closet?" He questions demanding an instant answer as I audible gulp scratching the back of my neck.

"Uhm we-" I begin to say but Ellie cuts me off.

"We were making out!" She exclaims throwing her hands in the air before she places them at her heart sighing dreamily.

Wait.

What the fuck?

"What?" Both me and her dad ask surprised turning to look at her.

"We're in love so we were making out!" She says like it is the most obvious thing in the world placing her hands on her waist while raising her eyebrows in annoyance.

I can feel him throwing daggers with his eyes on my direction but I try avoiding eye contact.

"Let's go baby! He ruined our moment!" Ellie mumbles loudly grabbing my hand waiting for me to stand up before she pulls me out of the room.

"Ellie get back here! I swear I'll kill you!" His voice is heard in the distant while Ellie runs with her hand still holding mine.

"What the hell Ellie?" I ask her as I abruptly stop her and pin her to the wall.

"Your dad is going to kill me!" I say looking into her eyes.

"Did you expect me to tell him that I broke into his office and enter the competitions' files?" She asks in a 'duh' tone incurring a sigh to escape my lips.

"Why did you do it anyway?" I ask her curious but she just breaks eye contact and shrugs nonchalantly.

"How is your head?" I ask changing the subject to avoid further awkwardness and she carefully places her hand at the back of her head rubbing it.
