Els POV
Ok, I'm gonna admit: I kissed him for longer than planned. I pulled away gently and rested my head on his chest. Damn he was huge compared to me. He moved his head right down and placed a single gentle kiss on my jaw. He stood straight again and grinned, before turning and walking away, leaving me breathless and hot on the wall, a huge smile almost ripping my face in two. I heard a low growl from the door next to me. Oh shit, mike! I composed myself as much as possible and opened the door. I saw mike, pacing around the room, biting his nails.
"Mike?" I asked quietly. He snapped his head up to me, and quickly marched over to me, grabbed me by the shoulders and hugged me close, before pulling away, kissing me tenderly (which was, by the way, extremely wonderful and I loved it,) and held up my face in his hands.
"Oh el... what did he do to you baby?" He asked softly, being uncharacteristic you gentle.
"What? He... he didn't to anything. But mike I have to tell you, I ki~" I said, getting cut off midway.
"What involvement does will have in this?" He asked.
"Mike, I'll tell you in a minute, I just gotta tell you, that i~" I said.
"Where did jack come from?" Mike said, cutting me off again.
"Presumably his mother. Mike, listen~"
"What happened with him out there? Did he~"
"HE KISSED ME!" I yelled, silencing mike and putting a shocked expression on hops face.
"He... he what? And what did you do...? Why did you say we had broken up?" Mike asked.
"You need to let me explain this whole situation to you, but for that I need will too." I said. He nodded and I ran off downstairs to get Will, pretending not to have seen mikes fingers curl into a fist.
"Will? I need you," I said.
Mikes POV
I sat on the table in the corner of the room, my feet still on the floor. I looked at Hop.
"He kissed her?" I asked. "I didn't hear any objections on Els part, did you?" I asked. Hopper shook his head.
"Just give her a chance to explain, ok?" He said.
"Always," I said quietly. Hopper gave me a look. I'm not gonna lie, I was close to tears. They had kissed. And they had both been quiet for a long time before I heard jack leave. So it wasn't just a peck and I didn't hear objections from el. So she had to have kissed him back. It's just simple logic. But, before all of that, she told me in her head that I had to trust her and it didn't mean anything, and that she'd explain everything with Will later. And now she'd gone to get will. So I was due an explanation pretty soon. As if on cue, will and El came into the room, will looking stressed and slightly mad at el.
"Well? I need an explanation!" I hissed. Els raised her eyebrows.
"Ok, keep your hair on!" She huffed. I looked over at Hop who rolled his eyes.
"Ok, I think it's firmly attached. Now tell me, why did you kiss jack and why do you need Will to explain with you?" I asked impatiently.
"You kissed him?" Will asked, his expression unreadable. His body tensed.
"Good. Well done," he said through gritted teeth.
"Will!" El moaned. "I did this for you!" She said. I was beyond confused.
"I know. I just... I mean I don't even like it when mike touches you and he's your boyfriend," Will said.
"Not according to el! She said we broke up, so can someone explain what's going on before I loose my shit!" I yelled. El looked up at me and rolled her eyes. My eyebrows shot up. What is up with her?
"Ok, listen, jack told Will that he had to try and break us up, or else he would tell you that me and Will did... things. Like, dirty things... like~" el began.
"I get it el!" I said, wrinkling my nose, getting more than slightly aggravated at the thought of Will and El... you get the picture.
"Yeah and also, he said that he'd take Natalia from Will, and apparently he's liked her for a while? Anyway, I said we should tell you, so you didn't get hurt and I could pretend to like him and pretend to break up with you and you'd know the situation. Ok? So, I'm sorry, but for the next two days, I'm gonna have to pretend to be jacks." El said.
"Two days? I thought we were leaving tomorrow!" I glanced at my clock. "Today." It was 3:30 am.
"Oh yeah, my car broke down so Steve's gotta get home and get his back up, so he's gonna be about two days. We gotta spend two nights here." Hop said from the depths of the shadows. I almost forgot he was here.
"Two nights in a bed with mr. I'm-hot-and-I-know-it?! You can fuck off! And what do you mean about pretending to 'be his'????" I questioned.
"Just a few kisses and flirting and stuff." She said nervously, pulling at a loose end on my hoodie sleeve, purposely not meeting my icy stare.
"What?" I demanded.
"I'll only let him go as far as to kiss me! Nothing else I swear!" She said meekly.
"El, this is wrong! So wrong! Nothing good can come out of this for you! It's Will you'll be helping, you'll just dig yourself into deeper shit!" Hopper said.
"As long as I'm helping Will, I'm doing it." El said sternly and went downstairs. And for the first time in my entire time knowing her, I didn't want to turn her around and kiss her senseless.
Why?
Because she seemed to have forgotten that she gave me the ability to read her thoughts. And she was thinking some pretty interesting stuff. Stuff that included a certain Jack Taylor.
