silence finally broke over the phone when natasha spoke, "so uh see ya in ten?" elise flustered and trembled over her words, "yeah i'll see you then"

elise jumped as she heard the piercing sound of her door bell. she ran to the door and starting to slide due to her soft socks that natasha gave her earlier that year. she bumped against the door on accident and laughed at herself. "elise you okay?" elise smiled as she heard natasha's voice, "yeah im good don't worry" elise finally opened the door to see natasha grinning with one of her favorite juices in her hand.

natasha made herself comfortable on elise's brown, suede couch and gave elise a wink, "so how's it's going bauman?" elise smiled and walked over to sit next to natasha and replied, "it's going alright, but enough about me. let's talk about laura and carmilla."

elise and natasha spoke back and forth for the next 3 hours, trying their best to memorize their lines for the upcoming film day. elise always had trouble remembering her lines as fast as natasha. some days she would even try to make it a competition to memorize her parts faster than natasha would, but every time elise would fall short of the win. natasha was just so good with words and could inprov so smoothly and effortlessly. elise admired that about natasha and loved the sound of each word that escaped natasha's lips. elise was so fascinated by how talented natasha was and never wanted to stop learning from her. elise admired everything about natasha. everything.

after a few drinks and a few episodes of friends, natasha looked at her phone and realized that the time read "1:26 am" natasha widened her eyes and looked at elise. elise looked worried and came closer to natasha's side, "you okay? what's wrong?" natasha erased her worried expression and replaced it with a relaxed smile, "oh nothing i just didn't realize how late it was. i should start heading home" natasha started getting off the couch and heading towards her car keys but was suddenly stopped by a soft, small hand pulling her back to the couch. elise looked at natasha with a stern look, "nat you're not going anywhere, you've been drinking too much. you're staying here okay? i don't want you drunk driving. i want you safe." natasha rolled her eyes and giggled at her friend, "buddy i'll be okay. don't worry" elise got up to her closet and came back a few seconds later with a blanket and a fluffy pillow, "you're staying here whether you like it or not" natasha smiled at her and couldn't believe how much superiority was stored in such a small person. "damn it bauman, how do you do it?" "do what? "always get me to stay" elise raised her eyebrows and let out a small smirk, "it's not me...it's because you love me. alright negovanlis see you in the morning. i expect pancakes owhen i wake up" elise winked at her friend and then slowly walked into her room, which was only a few feet away. natasha smiled shyly and brought her feet up onto the couch. she tucked her legs under the warm, soft blanket and started to close her eyes.
