Hip hop meets ballet

Chapter 11

*Eva's POV*

"Oi Elliot wake up!" I said hitting him.

"I'm up I'm up! Jesus Christ I'm bestfriends with a physco" he says rolling off my bed.

"Well I'm sorry I'm not in a good mood after getting barely any sleep over your snoring all night. You literally sounded like a dying walrus!" I laughed back.

"Oh shut it you!" He says standing up.

It was then that I found my eyes travelling down his bare chest. Of course he slept without a shirt on, but I couldn't help but stare.

"You like what you see?" He winks at me.

I grab the closest thing to me which was luckily a pillow and send it flying at his head.

"Abuse! I have a pyscho abusive best friend lucky me!" He says walking towards my bathroom and turning on the shower.

Sitting up and running my fingers through my hair a knock sounds at my door.

"Heey Eva it's just me" Dad says walking into my room.

"Oh hey daddy" I smile up at him.

"I see Elliot stayed over again last night" he said ushering to his awful singing voice coming from the shower.

"Yeah he did" I blush

"I'm worried about you kiddo"

"Why dad? Nothing's going on between me and Elliot I promise!" I reassure him.

"This is the fourth time his slept over this week"

It's really been 4? Oops.

"We are just trying to spend as much time together because school starts again next week and then we will be too focused on studying to properly hang out"

"Yeah I understand that but me and your mum barely see you anymore cause your always with him"

"Always with him? You know it's not easy for me to make friends and then when I finally do you get angry at me? Logic right?" My tone loudens.

"That's not what I mean--"

"What do you mean then dad!" I cut in. "This is pathetic. You don't have the right to go off at me for barely seeing you. Your at work 24/7 and whenever your home your either in the study or in bed! So you don't have the right at all!" I yell.

"Okay your right.. I'm sorry I'll leave you alone now" his voice softens as he goes to get up.

"Dad" I say.

"Just forget it Eva" he says standing up.

Suddenly Elliot comes out of the bathroom, shirtless and with just boxers covering his lower half.

"Oh hi Mr Fisher, I was just umm showering?" He stutters.

"It's fine Elliot, have a good day together guys. Breakfast is downstairs cooked for you both, that's what I came up to say" Dad said leaving the room.

I instantly feel guilty. I never should have yelled like that especially at dad. He didn't do anything wrong.

"Why the heck did I do that?!" I whisper to myself, tears forming in my eyes.

"Aww Eve don't cry... Please Eve don't" Elliot says cuddling me.

I lay my head into the crook of his neck and cry.

"C'mon don't cry" he says rubbing circles into my back. "Pretty girls don't cry" he says wiping the tears from my eyes with his thumb.

Sniffling, I hug him.

"I'm lucky to have you as my friend" I choke out.

"I'm lucky to even know you, let alone have you as my friend" he whispers in my ear.

A shiver goes down my back, adrenaline runs through me.

Why does he make me feel like this? Why why why why!

"C'mon let's go get the lovely breakfast your dad has prepare for us" he says grabbing my hand and walking hand-and-hand downstairs towards the kitchen.

~~~~~

"Ahh it's freezing" Elliot says snuggling closer to me and pulling the blanket up onto us further.

"It sure is" I mutter bringing the steaming hot mug of hot chocolate to my cold lips.

Perfection

We were watching The Little Mermaid II. You know the one were Ariel has the daughter, and the daughter doesn't want to be human she wants to be a mermaid. The irony huh?

I start to think of Callen and how the last time I saw him we were watching The Little Mermaid. I wish I could go back to that night, there's so many things I would change.

I haven't spoken to him in weeks. I guess he stopped trying to talk to me after I kept declining his calls. I'm just angry at him that's all.

A knock at the door awoke me from my thoughts of Callen.

"Son of a gun. I was just warming up" I say pulling the blanket over and heading towards the door.

Unlocking the door, there stood Callen.

Speak of the devil...

"Hi Eva" he said.

"Hi Callen" I replied shocked that he was standing there.

"You weren't answering my calls?" He asked.

"Uh yeah I must have been busy" I stuttered out. Lies.

"Oh okay, well I just wanted to let you know we have a competition in 3 days."

Of course the only reason he comes is because of his hip hop group. Why'd I agree to that again?

"Okay well text me the location and I'll be there"

"Okay" he says.

"Oi Eva Beaver what's taking so long? I'm getting cold without your snuggles" Elliot calls walking up behind me.

"Well maybe it's cause your shirtless and in boxers" Callen rudely states as Elliot wraps his arm around my waist.

Electricity shoots through me. Why does he have this effect on me?

"Callen!" I yell. "Don't be so rude!"

"Yeah I didn't mean any harm" Elliot joins in.

"Okay well I should go then" Callen says.

"Yeah I think so too, goodbye Callen" I said slamming the door in his face.

"Let's go watch the rest of the movie" I said cuddling closer to Elliot as he lead us back to the couch.
