Bestfriends In Trouble

Chapter Eleven

11

It took a lot of courage to tell Eleanor of what I truly feel. Talking with Celine while we walked home, made me realize some things.

Plus, I think I was kinda jealous of that Drew. How could he ask El put when we didn't even know him. That took a lot od guts. I was even planning on asking El out but that guy just came before me. Well, at least that triggered my inner courage to come out of its coward shell and admit everything to Eleanor.

It was now the 3rd day since Eleanor and I officially started dating, and everything was just so perfect.

Every after my work hours at Lucy's, I take out some chocolate muffins and cinnamon cookies. I would knock on her door to deliver these goods I saved for her. Then she would let me in and make some hot chocolate for me and just talk. Like we used to. There was never some awkward moments unlike these past few weeks. Its just like before, when we were just bestfriends. But now, El isn't just my bestfriend, but also my girlfriend. And Im totally proud and happy of it.

"So tell me about your day." I asked after sipping some hot chocolate that she had made just for me.

"Just typical. Im sure you can guess it." She said. A voice of challenge was in her.

"Hmm... What if I guess it right? What would be my reward?" I asked, smiling.

She raised an eyebrow. " Anything except another child." She said and I chuckled.

"Alright," I said, while thinking of ny reward, "what about a 'sleep with me' tonight?"

She shook her head.

"Just sleep sleep..... Nothing malicious. We just cuddle til we open our eyes." I said.

"Okay." She agreed and I grinned. "But if you didn't guess it after 2 tries, you will have to sleep with Roxy."

"Ohhhhh!!!! No!!!!" I said. "That's truly unfair!"

In case you're wondering, Roxy is El's dog. It's a white maltese dog which love hanging out with me so much.

"Just sleep sleep..." Eleanor said, "You can cuddle her if you want." I saw a smirk formed on her face.

I just shook my head repeatedly.

Eleanor leaned closer to my face, looking so seductive, we looked at each other's eyes and I think I would melt any moment. She pecked me on my lips. Then she said in a whisper, "It's a deal, or no deal."

"Okay. Deal." I said, giving up.

"So Lets start it." She said. "What do you think did I do for the whole day?"

"Hmmm." I started, "You uhh-"

Before I could finish she cut, "you only have two tries okay?"

I nodded. "I know right?"

She just smiled at me.

"You read a book." I guessed.

"That's too typical Ken." She said and laughed. "You have to answer it right or you would sleep with Roxy."

"Okay." I raised my hand. "You had a movie marathon with caramel popcorn?"

Then Eleanor put her hand on her face. Clearly, my answer was correct. I won!

I was about to get up and start to happy dance but she said, "gods Ken, am I that lame?" She has this huge smile on her face.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Am I that lame to just sit around all day watching old movies with popcorn?" She asked.

"We do that a lot." I said. "It isn't lame.'
