Moving On. (Elijah Wood Fanfic)

Meanings.

Cherry's P.O.V

I finally did it. I had grown some balls & kissed Elijah. And by the looks of things, it was good as he didn't complain & he kissed back.

We lied there for a couple hours, me trying to sleep & Elijah I knew wasn't, his breathing was a bit jagged but he calmed himself down.

I looked over at Elijah's alarm clock, seeing it said 12:47 pm, I figured I should get up again & we should do something today rather than being so lazy.

I rolled over gently, taking some precaution to my ribs & faced Elijah.

"What should be do today" I whispered, his face only a couple inches away for mine.

"Hm, we could go for a walk or watch a movie or uh. Hmm..." He thought out loud.

"Hey, that would be awesome, lets go see a movie!" I replied quick, finding myself wanting to go & see a scary movie.

"Uh, okay. As long as its not too scary or girly."

Elijah wasn't the biggest fan of scary movies but I loved them & I knew he loved going with me.

"C'mon, you know you like going to scary ones in the theatre." I wined.

"Well... Kind of I guess." he spoke looking away, trying to make it seem like he didn't.

"I know you do, Eli. So lets see what's playing." I said with a grin.

I hopped up from his bed & over to his desk where his laptop sat, flipping open the screen.

We could go & see oculus. I've wanted to since it came out.

"Hey, oculus is playing still." I said smiling.

"Do we have to?" Elijah wined.

"Yeah! Now you do at least!" I chirped.

Elijah sighed & went to go get ready.

Fifteen minutes later he came out wearing a pair of tan shorts, a plain white tee & a pain of black vans with white laces. His aviators resting on his head & his hair tossed around messily with some gel.

I smiled at him & went to check my appearance & get dressed.

I looked in the mirror at my make up which was still good from when I did it this morning & I changed into a tight white tank top with a pair of black & white vertical striped high waisted shorts.

I hung my sunglasses on my top & pulled my hair back up into a high pony again. I slipped on a pair of light purple vans with black laces & left his bathroom.

"Someone looks good." Elijah said with a swift wink.

"Ha!" I replied without thinking.

We always complimented each other, but I think that this time it meant something to me more than any other time.

Maybe it was that kiss? But I don't know, I've gotta figure out the meaning of it all.

"C'mon, lets head out." Elijah spoke, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I nodded & downed a couple of pain killers on my way as I skipped out the door with Elijah's hand laced through mine. He waved a bye to his dad who was laying on the couch & we were off.

Elijah pulled the keys to the jeep out & we hopped in.

"So, the movie doesn't start until 7:45 & it's only 2 so what should we do?"

"Uh, do you wanna get something to eat & just relax?" I suggested.

"Yeah, that sounds great! plus, the movie theatre is connected to the mall, so we could walk around there for a while too." Elijah said, smiling at nothing.

"Sounds good to me." I smiled to him & we drove off.

We headed to a small restaurant just to have some burgers & fries and talk. We drove in a comfortable silence the whole way.

We reached the restaurant & Elijah and I hopped out, lacing our fingers together without even thinking.

"Hello and welcome to Jordan's house of burgers & fries. My name is Sandy & ill be your waitress for today." The lady spoke softly with a slight accent.

"Could I get you something to drink to start off?" she spoke looking over to me.

"Could I just get Pepsi please?" I smiled to her.

"Sure thing! And for you?" she asked Elijah.

"Could I have an iced tea please?" Elijah told her.

"Sounds good, here's your menu's & ill be back with your drinks." She smiled & strolled off without another word.

I looked at my menu & thought out loud to myself, kind of a habit.

"Hm, I might just get the classic but there's mozzarella burgers too."

"I think I might get the mozza but they also have some with Swiss & mushrooms." Elijah said, thinking I had even talking to him before.

"I'm just going with classic." I decided & looked up to Elijah to make up his mind.

"I'm going to get the mozza." He smiled at me & stacked our menu's.

Sandy walked back placing our drinks in front of us, us both saying a quick thanks.

"You guys ready to order?" she smiled.

"Yes, I'll get just the classic meal please." I smiled up to her.

She muttered an okay & wrote on her note pad, looking over to Elijah.

"And I'll get the mozzarella burger meal please." he smiled at her then to me.

"Alright, sounds good." She smiled & skipped off.

We had sat for a few minutes, not talking but both thinking. I had to bring up the kiss, so I decided to take it at a straight on approach.

"Hey, Elijah?" I muttered.

"Y-yeah?"

"I was thinking about our kiss this morning & I wanted to ask you about it." I spoke quick, not wasting any time.

"Yeah, of course. What'd you wanna know?" he said, evidently getting nervous by his shaky hands & awkward fidgeting.

"I wanted to ask you if I meant anything. Just cause it's been the only time we've ever kissed & I know we kiss each other's cheeks & foreheads all the time and hold hands and snuggle an-" I rambled before being cut off by Elijah.

"It did. It meant a lot." He spoke with a serious yet shy tone. "I mean, well I don't know. It really just did. D-did it mean anything to y-you?" he whispered the last bit.

"Y-yeah. It meant a lot to me too." I let out a small giggle before having a huge plate placed in front of me.

I had a huge burger & a giant side of fried placed in front of me & Elijah had his own in front of him.

"Anything else I can get you?" Sandy asked.

"No, thank you." I smiled at her.

She nodded & strolled off.

"Uh, we can talk about this another time, but I'm starving." I smiled to Elijah who nodded in agreement as we both dug in.
