Jewel I (In the beginning)

Chapter 22

        I walked in the house where Elijah was sitting on the couch watching basketball.

        "Bae! I'm here." I said excited.

        "Yeah I see that." He said with an attitude.

        "What's wrong baby?"

        "You been gone all day and I ain't got not one phone call."

        "Im about to explain it to you."

        "You don't have to explain anything. You ready to go home?"

        "I don't want to go home. That's why I came straight here."

        "oh well I'm going to bed."

        "But we need to talk."

        "We can talk in the morning."

        I watched as Elijah got up from the sofa. He looked so sexy in his basketball shorts and no shirt, showing of his tattoos.

         I didn't know where this attitude came from or why it was here but I wanted it gone.

        I followed Elijah to the master bedroom. He took of his basketball shorts and got directly into bed.

        I didn't say anything to him. I wanted him to cool off a bit. I took my clothes off and got in the shower.

        After thirty minutes, I was out and drying off.  I  Peaked  my head out the bathroom to see if Elijah was awake but he didn't move.

        I threw on one of his t-shirts and got into bed. I looked over at Elijah who was now turning over to where we were not face to face anymore.

        "I know you woke Elijah." I said, slapping him in the arm.

        He didn't say anything. I was not about to argue with him.but I wanted him to listen to me.

        I slapped him on his Ann again but he still didn't move. "Okay. That's how it's gone be? Fine then!"

        I turned of the lamp and went to sleep.

        I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I had an hour to get ready for school. Elijah was still sleep and he didn't have to go to class for another three hours.

        I climbed out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. I used the bathroom and then took a quick shower.

        I put on the outfit that I had laid out on the end of the bed. It was a bulls basketball Jersey, some ripped acid wash jeans, and some all black vans.

        I put on some makeup and flay ironed my hair. I wanted the straight and flat look for today.

        I walked down stairs and into the kichen to fix me a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. These were my favorite.

        Seconds later, Elijah was walking into the kitchen.

        "No good morning?" I said pouring done milk into my bowl of cereal.

        "You need to be ready in five minutes." Said Elijah.

        "What's your problem? What did I do wrong?"

        "You don't tell me where you going. We don't communicate. You don't call me to let me know your alright. I was worried about you last night." He snapped.

        "I'm sorry. But the phone works both ways."

        "Okay whatever."

        I walked over to Elijah and put Mt arms around his neck. "I'm sorry Ej"

        "You called me Ej?" He smiled.

        "yeah. I know. Out was a one time thing." I laughed.

        Elijah chuckled alittle. "Apology accepted."

        "Yayy." I kissed him on the lips. "Imma eat this then imma be ready."

        "Iight bet."

        Elijah ran back up stairs and I finished eating my cereal. I loved how me calling him Ej, changed his mood. I hope it stays that way.

        When I finished my cereal, Elijah and I got into his car so he could take me to school. I explained everything to him about the meeting with Clayton and Markus and what Claud had left me. He explained to me in detail why he was upset.

        He said that he was a little bit jealous of Claud.  I explained to him how he shouldnt be jealous because he owned my heart.
