Chapter Fourteen:

"Love?" Elliott looks down at me.

“Yes.”

"What's wrong?"

“Nothing is baby.”

"Are you sure?" He shifts so he is looking directly at me.

“Yeah, so what did you and Jake talk about?”

"When do you mean?" I notices his eyes shift slightly to the side, not looking directly at me.

“When I was in the kitchen..”

He blinks and bites his lip. "Just some stuff." I nod. I cock my head to the side and watch him, a smile making its way onto my face. I kiss him. Taken aback, he doesn't kiss me but then he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me towards him. I smile. He returns it and leans his forehead against mine. "You seem happy all of a sudden."

“I am happy.”

"How comes?" He moves so I am laying down on the sofa, looking up at him.

“I'm with you, why wouldn’t I be happy?"

He grins. "That's good. But before, you seemed unhappy, a few moments alone with your mind and suddenly you look happy."

“I have no reason not to be happy.” I love him and he loves me...I smile. He kisses me lightly. I am tempted to tell him, but I want to hear him say it first. I kiss him back, smiling against his lips.

After a few minutes, he pulls back and sighs. "Breakfast, love?" I shake my head.

"What would you like to do then?" I shrug. I dont know, I just want to be with him. "Movie?" He moves his head and kisses my neck softly.

“Sure.” I move closer to him.

"Or we can stay like this if you don't want to let go of me?" He teases close to my ear. I snuggle up to him more. He chuckles. "I'll take that as a yes." He pulls me as close as possible and sighs.

“Why do you keep sighing?” I ask.

"Just thinking," he smiles. I rest my head on his chest. "What's running through that pretty little head of yours?" He asks, rubbing circles on my stomach.

“You.”

"Me?" I shift when he moves to look at me. "What about me?" He grins.

“I love how you're always here for me and care about me.”

He gave me a sweet, loving smile. "I'll always be here for you, love." Why cant he just say it?! He presses his lips against my neck, his lips moving as if he were speaking. But I dont know what he's saying. I touch his cheek and meet his eyes.

“Yes?”

"What did you say?"

“When?”

"Just now." He tries to turn his head away but I hold his chin. "El?"

He doesn’t say anything. “Please tell me.”

"Nothing," he mumbles out, a tiny frown on his face.

“You're frowning.”

"So are you," he points out.

“You were first.” I felt my frown deepen. "El, tell me what is wrong. Please?" He sighs. "Please." I beg him. He leans forward and presses his lips against mine. Momentarily distracted, I close my eyes and kiss him back. He pulls me closer. I pull back. "Elliott."

"Yes, love?" He kisses along my jaw.

“Tell me.”

He makes his way down my neck. "Mm, tell you what?"
