Another Chance (Another Exchange Book 2)

Chapter 16-Tea time

Y/n p.o.v
We were driving home after getting back from Boston and Elijah said,"Y/n, I was thinking that we could move in together...since we are literally seeing each other everyday." "It's not a bad idea. It will be quite nice living with you, and we can save money on gas." I said. "You can move in with me. I can transform my reading area into your bedroom and you can set up your recording studio in there, since that room is quite big." I continued. "Great! When can I move in?" Elijah asked and I laughed. "Why are you in such a hurry? You literally just brang the subject up a minute ago." I asked. "The thought of being able to live with you excites me." He said. I looked at him as he drove and said,"Sure does..." "Do...do you have another hoodie? Or jacket? I swear, living with you has nothing to do with it." Elijah said, getting flustered. I laughed and got my bomber jacket. "Here." I said and placed it on his lap. "Thanks...." He said quietly and kept his eyes on the road.

Elijah dropped me off at my house, helped me take me bags out of the car and put it inside my house, and kissed me good bye. I waved good bye and went inside after I could no longer see his car.

I unpacked my bags and began to sweep the floors since I was not sure what else to do.

-@T/u (Twitter username) I loved your interview😘
-It was nice to finally meet Elijah. Why don't you stream with him?
-@T/u please stream with Elijah next time! I don't care what game you play🙂
-I am struggling with a ship name! 😡😅

I laughed and tweeted out:

-Thank you for the support over these few years. I really appreciate it. I will definitely see if Elijah would want to play a game live with me, it would be very fun. Love you all😘

I smiled and turned my phone off and found myself walking to the reading room. I smiled when I thought of Elijah and took some books off the shelves. "Counting to ten...I don't think I'll read this." I said and set it aside to donate.

Books that I had no interest on reading I set aside to donate or if it was damaged so I could fix it. Before my mother had died and I went to America, my uncle had taught me how to repair books that wasn't too damaged.

I sat on my living room floor with books, repairing them while listening to music. Someone rang the doorbell and I went to answer it.

"Hello. I am your new neighbour. My name is Tiffany." A woman with curly blonde hair said. "Hello Tiffany. I am Y/n. Care for a cup of tea?" I asked politely. "Miss Madison was not wrong when she said you were really polite." Tiffany laughed. I smiled and stepped aside to allow her inside. "Just excuse the place, I was not expecting anyone to come over." I said as we past the living room. "Oh no worries. You should see my place." Tiffany chuckled. "Ah yes, but you have just moved in." I said as I led her to the kitchen. "Only a few days ago, if I am not wrong." I said and put on the kettle. "I suppose so. You have a very neat kitchen." She said and admired the kitchen. "Thank you." I said and got out a teapot.

I poured tea for her and she asked,"So, I have heard you came from England. How is it over there?" "Well, weather is not great, but, when it's the perfect sunny day, it's the best place to be." I said and poured in milk. Tiffany smiled and I pushed the sugar pot for her to use. "Do you get home sick?" She asked. "No, not really. I did, when I was an exchange student, but now, Rochester is my home. There are great people here and I wouldn't trade it for the world." I smiled and stirred my tea. Tiffany returned the smile and took a sip of her tea. "Wow. I haven't had a good cup of tea in a while. My boyfriend is horrible when it comes to making tea." Tiffany chuckled. I laughed and the doorbell rang. "I'll be right back." I said and walked off to answer the door.

"Elijah. What are you doing here?" I asked when I opened the door. "Well, I saw it was tea time and you put your jersey and shoes in my bag for some reason." He said and gave me my clothing. I smiled and said,"Thanks. Come in, I am having tea with the new neighbour." Elijah kissed my forehead and I said,"She's in the kitchen. I'll be right back." I left to go put my clothing back upstairs and I heard Elijah say,"I see you're busy with your books!" "Yep!"

Elijah p.o.v
I walked into the kitchen to see a woman with curly blonde hair seated on a chair and looking at Y/n's grandmother's tea pot. "Oh hello. My name is Tiffany." She said and gave me a big smile. "Elijah." I said and waved. I got out a tea cup and poured myself a cup of tea. "Where is
Y/n?" Tiffany asked. "In her room. She's-" I began. "Right here." She said and interrupted me. I smiled as she came into view. "I see you've helped yourself." She said and stood beside me. "You don't mind, do you?" I asked. "Of course not. Tiffany, where did you move from?" Y/n asked. "Oh, Cambridge." "Cambridge... that's a nice city." I said. "Yeah, but, Noah got a good job opportunity here. I didn't have a problem with moving to Rochester because my sister and her family lives here." Tiffany said. "That's nice. All of my family is in Britain." Y/n said. "Then why did you move to America?" Tiffany asked curiously. "I missed Rochester. I spent a few months here and when I had to go back to England, I missed Rochester." Y/n said. "It was me. She missed me." I teased and the girls laughed. "I didn't even know if you still lived in Rochester." Y/n said. "Mmkay." I said and Y/n chuckled while Tiffany laughed.
