When Worlds Collide

Chapter 17

*ANNA'S POV*

     I woke up and looked at Eli. He appeared to have been awake for a while. His eyes were locked on me, a small smile on his face. I grew hot under his gaze and felt myself begin to blush. "What are you looking at?" I joked. He simply grinned.
     "A person with potential insomnia. Tired much?" I nodded.
     "I've gotten a lot of sleep these past few weeks though." He nodded solemnly.
     "That's the only upside to being in a coma or at least unconcious. You get to catch up on all the sleep you've missed. What keeps you up at night?" I sighed.
     "Usually Alex. Or cutting. Starving myself. Suicidal thoughts. Stuff like that." Eli's face went pale.
     "I didn't expect you to answer honestly..." he choked out. J shrugged apologetically.
     "Sorry. What keeps you up at night?"
     "Hooking up, most of the time. I have a lot of girls I bring back to have fun with. Or, I did. Anymore, my reputation precedes me and I can't even get the time of day." I looked at the watch he was wearing.
     "It's 8:03 P. M. Is that better?" He stared at me blankly. "I gave you the time of day. Be happy." Then he got it.
     "Ohhhh!! My deepest thanks to you, Lady Anna. I am honored to have recieved the time of day from such a prestiged and high class woman like yourself! What can I do to repay your gracious actions?" I giggled at how silly and ridiculous Eli was being. It made my worries drift to the back of my mind. He chuckled. "Perhaps a kiss would repay my debt?" He stage whispered to me, "It always does in movies." I laughed and decided to play along.
     "Why yes of course, Lord Eli. A kiss would repay your debt in full, no interest rates at all." He smiled.
     "Then a kiss you shall recieve." Before I could react, he grabbed my face and kissed me softly.
