<El POV>
"Today was so fun! We gotta do this more!" Zehr exclaims.
"Yeah!". Today was actually unreal. I survived a day in high school and it wasn't even that bad! "Zehr, are you dropping me home?" I ask. We have walked back from Ashton' Cafe to Kai's house where Zehr's car is parked.
"Nah, just going to leave you here." I roll my eyes. We bid our goodbyes to Kai and I get in the car, anticipating Xan's 'Talk' that he wants to have with me. Anxious gitters refuses to leave my stomach as what ifs cloud my mind.
-----
I unlock the door and enter, looking anxiously for Xan.
"El-el, is that you?" I can hear his voice but he is nowhere to be seen.
"Y-yeah. Where in the world are you?"
Suddenly roses rain from the heavens, almost making me scream at the sudden touch. They first fall one by one and then an entire flood showers me. Confused I yell out his name.
After a second, He steps into the room from the steps clad in a button up pastel blue shirt and black formal trousers. He presses a button on the remote he's holding and romantic music plays making me crimson. What is Xan doing?!
"What are you doing, Xan?" I whisper as he steps extremely close to me. I haven't been this close to anyone physically since... never mind.
"I don't know, isn't this what girls like? A huge romantic gesture, a sweet candlelit dinner and romantic music sealed with a ki-" he us so lost in his words flaying his arms around trying to make me understand what he's doing that the word 'kiss' slips out of his mouth. His cheeks slowly redden and moves his fingers through his tall caramel brown hair, messing it up. He has a slight stubble. Everything from his beautiful blue eyes to his sharp jawline pop out and make me blush, but I want to hold the upper hand in this relationship. Is this a relationship? What even is this? Well this seems to be the perfect time to find out.
"Kiss, huh?" I ask stepping closer to him and standing taller to show him that I am not going to turn into a puddle of goo just because he just did the cutest thing ever. He blushes more, if that is even possible.
"I meant-"
"And where is that dinner you were talking about? I don't see any candle lit dinner?" I saw pretending to look for the dinner.
His nervous eyes turn mischievous as he bends forward and tosses my over his shoulder like a sack of potatos.
"I love it when you're authoritative with me, babe."
Okay I am done with this authority and control. I have officially become what I swore to destroy ( not really but...) I am molten into a puddle of goo. Yes.
"Can I know where we are going please?" I am wearing a short skirt making this position... awkward, but I did wear thin shorts underneath to protect my dignity. It is hard enough being as tall as I am and wearing a short skirt.
"The backyard." His face looks so soft and warm, stuffed with affection. But I can't help feel just a little disappointed. The backyard over here is... dead. It has grass growing wild everywhere and shrubs here and there in a messy dirty pattern. I hade made a mental note to work on this the day I came here, but haven't had time.
He finally drops me on my two feet, disappointing me just a little bit.
But before I could really feel anything I look ahead of me through the glass sliding door at the backyard. Nope, this isn't a backyard this is paradise. Fairy lights hung forming a faux ceiling with the stray shrubs cleaned. The grass is trimmed short but you can barely see the grass. The floor is covered with blankets and pillows that'll take way too much effort to clean up. There is a short legged table somewhere in the middle. Rose petal gold the entire garden. I feel so overwhelmed with this.
