Sammy Walcott
"No no no young man. No school project going on today." My mum said walking to the door and shaking her finger disapprovingly.
"What?" Elijah and I asked at once. He was by the door and I was just descending the stairs.
"You heard me. Go home Elijah." Mum said taking hold of the door.
"Ma'am. Melissa wait, I've got to meet up with Sammy it's... necessary." He said choosing his choice of words wisely.
"Not today. No more shenanigans with my son tonight. Tonight you both sleep." Mum said and I felt my jaw get unhinged.
"W-W-Wh-a-t?" I stuttered out blushing like crazy.
"She what now?" Elijah asked and I could tell he wanted to laugh. His eyes were glinting in amusement.
"There, there." Mum said pointing her fingers at us both. "Guilty as charged."
"Wait," Elijah said putting his foot in the way as mum wanted to shut the door. She opened it up again with a glare. "Can't I at least say goodnight?"
She sighed walking away. "Ok Sammy go say goodbye to your boyfriend and send him home please."
I blushed again running a hand through my hair. "He's not my boyfriend." I muttered to myself going to the door. "Sup?"
"It's not fair. Your mum is separating us. She's a cock-- cuddle. I mean cuddle blocker."
"Right. You even deserve this. I'm mad at you."
"Oh come on. Not that again."
Earlier today Elijah and I went on a date. Yup, a really date. It was basically hanging out just with a name and more meaning; date. We ate then went to the mall to go shop for a hoodie. We found matching hoodies that looked great and we bought them. Well Elijah did. But I paid for the food so...
Anyway after all that, we went to some Arcade and after playing and winning so many games, Elijah won a new model rocket. One of a kind. I've had my eyes on it, ever since we got there and he won it. But here's the deal breaker, he refused to give it to me. Can you imagine? I love rockets. I have a whole collection and he refuses to give me the epic prize to complete my collection. I can't believe him.
He gave me the excuse of wanting to start his own collection and gave me a go ahead to see the rocket anytime I wish. So I'm mad at him now. Its petty but whatever.
"Leave me be."
"What, won't you miss me?"
"I won't."
"I will." I stopped trying to close the door and looked at him. My lips threatening to tug into a smile.
"Of course you would." Then I shut the door and finally let myself smile. That's cute.
--*--*--
I missed him.
I kept tossing and turning, trying to find the perfect position to sleep in but no position can be perfect again. Not when You've spooned with Elijah Gracia. I stared at the ceiling patiently waiting for sleep to come.
I turned to the window when I heard something hit against it and I got on my feet immediately opening up the window. Below was Elijah and I burst out laughing.
"Seriously?"
He chuckled, "I had to ask you something before I go to sleep."
