Caleb was watching Vie on the couch waiting for her date with Eli and it hit him. She may like Eli but it’s because she really liked the boy band boy and she saw him in Eli. He was a musician, he was kind, and he as the quieter type. He even semi looked like this Zayn fellow. But as the realization sunk in, the fact did to. Eli really did like Vie and Vie was using him whether she realized it or not. He came over to where she was standing by the door,” Vie I need to talk to you.”
“Caleb I need to go. I’m trying to open up like you thought I should. Be happy for me.” Violet said as she smoothed out her dress flowery dress and grabbed her purse.
“No Vie listen. You may not notice it but you still like that boy band boy, Zayn or something.”
“No I don’t I’m about to go out on a date with another person.” Vie said dismissing the notion.
“Listen you see the boy you really like in Eli. You’re using him.” Caleb said knowing Eli would be at their house in any minute.
“No I’m not okay. I don’t…” Violet drifted off and the doorbell rang,” I’ll get it.”
She raced to the doorway and opened it to find Eli’s smiling with a bouquet of violet’s, he’s smile was crooked and he asked nervously,” Did you know that there are white violet’s?” Violet let out a small laugh and nodded,” You look beautiful.”
Violet blushed and looked away from his big brown eyes,” I think I left my phone in my room. I’ll be right back.” Violet ran upstairs to her room and shut the door. Was Caleb right? Was she using Eli?
ME: I have a hypothetical situation and I need you help
Within seconds Liam texted.
LIAM: Yeah just make it fast we have a concert then we leave tomorrow
ME: If you thought you liked a girl but you really only liked them because they reminded you so much of someone who you really liked. Well what if you really good friend told you, would you believe them
LIAM: Hypothetical?
ME: Yeah
Violet blushed she knew that Liam was on to her, although it was kind of obvious.
LIAM: Yeah I think I would see it next time I found myself with them I think I would notice, what happened
ME: What would you do if you were going on a date with the hypothetical person the night you figured it out
Violet waited for a reply but Liam didn’t answer right away so Violet had to go back down stairs to Eli and Caleb.” Sorry I couldn’t find it. It hid from me.”
“Ready?” Eli said with a smile.
“Yeah where are we going?” Violet said shaking off the conversation she had with Liam and Caleb.
“That’s a secret.” Eli said as he held the door open for Violet to get in his car.
On the way there Violet dropped her head on the seat,” I’m not very patient please tell me where we’re going. Please.”
Eli smiled,” Good thing we’re here then.” He pulled up to a street with a large grass patch in front of a stage where people were gathering. He set out a large dark green and red plaid blanket on the ground after shooing some adults, with mean words, out of the way,” My lady.”
Eli motioned to the blanket and Violet blushed wildly and sat down,” So who are we listening to tonight?”
“It actually a house band called Red Rose.” Eli said and a look of confusion crossed her face Violet,” I know it’s a weird name for a band but I promise they are pretty good. I guess you could say they’re indie.”
“Cool I like new band’s they have spunk.” Violet said and she sat back ready for the music to start. It happened to start pretty fast actually. The music started with a low rumble that emanated from the subwoofers then slowly a tambourine came on and the drums. The people in the audience started clapping the beat with the song and Eli joined them. About halfway through the song is when the piano and guitar’s started in.
Violet watched Eli give the music all his emotion and full out life into the songs. She really did love watching people and their connections to music; it made her relive the good parts of her musical life. Eli found her staring at him and he smiled,” What are you looking at?”
“I love how much you get into the music. It’s inspiring.” Violet said with her sparkling blue eyes fixated on his brown ones.
“Thank you… I guess.” Eli said with a sparkle in his eyes then he returned to sing to the song. Violet felt her pocket buzz and she took her phone out.
LIAM: I would end up telling the person even though it would hurt them. It would hurt them more to know that you used them
Violet stared at her phone for a few minutes and two message popped up.
HARRY: Y did you text liam and not me?????
LIAM: Are you going to tell me what happened
Violet laughed at Harry’s text and sent both of them a text that said the same thing.
ME: I gotta go see you l8r
Violet put up her phone and listened to the rest of the concert and then Eli grabbed her by the hand and pulled her off to the car. Inside he said,” There is one more aspect to this date. Come on you should know better?”
Violet smiled,” Well what are we doing next?”
Eli didn’t have to answer instead he pulled up to a beautiful golf course and showed Violet a way through the fence. And pulled the blanket and a picnic basket through with them. Eli pulled to a beautiful spot on the course that showed the stars and one of the small lakes.
He spread the blanket out of the grass and took out a delicious looking lemon cake that was slightly chilly. “I asked Caleb what your favorite dessert was. I hope that’s okay.”
Violet smiled,” I get lemon cake. I am fine with it.”
“Good.” Eli smiled and cut a piece of the cake for Violet but she smiled and took a chunk of the delicious lemon icing with her finger and stuck it in her mouth.
“Yum.” They continued to have a good conversation with each other until the moment struck. It became quiet and although there with a silence in the air.
The air was humming with electricity. Eli leaned forward and so did Violet. Their lips met and Violet didn’t feel herself get lost like she had before. It felt like a kiss and before it got any deeper, Violet pulled off. She stood up and grabbed her purse,” I’m sorry this is wrong.”
Eli looked at her confused and she said again,” I can’t do this, it’s wrong.” And got up leaving Eli sitting on the blanket looking at her very confused.
Violet took out her phone and texted Liam.
ME: Thank you
Only a few seconds later she received.
LIAM: What happened
ME: It doesn’t matter anymore
