The Dangers of Romance (girlxgirl)

Chapter 13

(Still Arabella's POV btw)

I wait in my hotel room for about thirty minutes before I hear a knock at the door. I smooth down my skirt and open the door. Elise is holding flowers, chocolate, and a teddy bear. I smile when I see that the teddy bear's shirt says, "I'm beary sorry." Elise lays down the gifts on the bed and hugs me.

"I'm so sorry. I can't believe what I did to you, and I promise you it will never happen again. I know that there's no excuse for what I did, but if you have any ounce of forgiveness, please forgive me. I was so frustrated that day. You don't have to move in with me yet, not if you don't want to. I'm just scared of losing you. I don't want to sound too clingy or anything, but I really like you. Please-" I cut her off with a kiss.

She stayed with me all day and all night, and I didn't want to leave. I can't believe she apologized. I didn't think she was going to. We agreed that I would move in once we hit six months, as long as we were both ready. It was heaven, sitting there in that hotel room with her. Everything was perfect.

Unfortunately, I needed to go home. This hotel was too expensive to stay another night, and I needed to get back to Mike and Ty. Ty was worried about me being alone with Elise, even though I kept telling him that I was fine. I kiss Elise goodbye and head home. I sing love songs the whole way home.

When I got home, Ty is waiting on the front porch. He flings his arms around me and repeatedly asks me if I am okay. "I'm fine!" I keep saying, but he won't let loose.

"I'm just concerned about this relationship. If she's doing stuff like that to you-" I'm sick of Ty right now.

"Ty, she didn't do anything. I seriously did this to myself, okay? Elise isn't dangerous." I brush past him and walk inside. I feel like I was convincing myself more than him, though.
