Another Chance (Another Exchange Book 2)

Chapter 17-Dorky baby

Y/n p.o.v
Tiffany had to leave after she got a call from her boyfriend. "Oh sorry, I have to go...Lucas put too much soap in the washing machine." Tiffany said and I said,"Been there." She laughed and Elijah rolled his eyes. "It was a mistake!" He whined. "A stupid one. Well, don't want to keep you waiting, I'll walk you too the door." I said and Tiffany smiled at me. She waved bye to Elijah and we left him in the kitchen while he placed the empty tea cups by the sink.

I came back into the kitchen after saying bye to Tiffany and said,"She's nice, isn't she?" "Who?" Elijah asked, taking a cookie out of the cookie jar. I narrowed my eyes and said,"Tiffany, Elijah." "Oh! Yeah! She's nice. Her boyfriend has the same name as my nephew." Elijah said and nodded. I smiled and he followed me when I walked to the living room.

"So, what made you want to repair books?" Elijah asked as he plopped down on the couch. I shrugged my shoulders and sat down. "I suppose it's because you will be moving in whenever we decide, so I might as well repair books that I want to keep or give away. I have a box upstairs filled with books that I am going to donate on Thursday." I said and grabbed a book. "Who taught you how to mend books?" Elijah asked, looking at the books that I have already fixed up. "Uncle Thomas. Lovely old soul." I said and began to repair the book. "Will I be able to meet him some day? I don't know much about your family." Elijah asked. "Maybe. I don't know much about my family either." I said softly. "Oh. I didn't mean for you to feel this way." Elijah said, looking down at the floor. "It's alright. I was bothered by this in my teenager years, but now, I just accepted it." I said. "Ugh...I wish I could give you what I have." "There is no need for that. You're all I need anyway." I said, looking up from the book and smiled at Elijah. His cheeks turned pink and smiled.

Elijah helped me move the boxes of books that I was going to give away downstairs and then we went into the living room again.

Music played softly as we spoke about our time in Boston and we began to plan when Elijah was going to move in. "Can you believe what Ethan's reaction was?" He asked. I smirked and asked,"What?" "He said,'Great. There will be more food and less noise in the house. You can move as soon as you want!' Can you believe that?" Elijah asked. I smiled and said,"Yes. Yes I can." Elijah looked at me and said,"You not making me feel better." "Am I supposed to make you feel better? Aww, sorry poor baby! I can't believe Ethan would be so mean to you!" I said, speaking to him as if he was a toddler. "Oh stop it!" He said and chuckled. "Feel better now?" I asked, smirking. "I guess so."  Elijah mumbled and I laughed. "Freaking baby." I joked. "I thought I was a dork." "You are. A dorky baby." I said and he winked. I shook my head and smirked.

Elijah kissed me good bye and left, leaving me to do other things, so I decided sleep.

I woke up and saw it was five in the afternoon. 'Wow...I slept for a while.' I thought as I got out of bed.

Elijah p.o.v
I finished recording and saw that Y/n was recording. 'Wow...this is quite early.' I thought and began to watch her stream since I wasn't sure what else to do.

Y/n p.o.v

-Can you ask Elijah if he wants to play Fortnite with you?😶-
-Yeah!😁-

"Um, sure I can ask. Let me message him." I said and opened my phone. There was already a message from him: Sure, I am okay to play Fortnite!😘

"Elijah, are you watching this stream?" I asked and looked at the comments.

-Yeah. I finished recording.-

I smiled and said,"Alright. I'll call you and we can play together."

I ended the stream two hours later after playing two matches with Elijah and played a game of Krunker with him and some viewers. "For your information, I was letting you kill me." Elijah said before I hung up. "Sure." I said and smirked.

"My loneliness is killing me.I must confess I still believe, still believe." I sang as I laid on the couch, Jamal in my one hand and a chocolate bar in the other. I jumped when my phone went off. "Hello?" I answered. "Hi Y/n. Tiffany here." Tiffany said. "Oh hi Tiffany!" I said and sat up. "Y/n, I was wondering if you had some flour and sugar for me. I would only need a cup of each." Tiffany said. "Yes, I do. You can come over and fetch them if you want." I said. "Oh thank you Y/n." "Welcome Tiffany." I said and smiled. "I'll see you in a bit." Tiffany said and hung up.

I went to the kitchen and took out my packet of sugar and flour. The doorbell rang and I carried the bags to the front and opened the door. "Thank you Y/n. You are a life saver!" Tiffany said when I handed her the packets. "It's no problem. Why do you need it?" I asked. "Lucas's parents are coming over tomorrow, and I didn't prepare for tea time, which they insist on having, and his mother only eats homemade treats." Tiffany sighed. "Ah, my aunt is the same too." I said. Tiffany smiled and said,"Well, I better get going. The treat that Lucas asked for needs a whole night to rest." "Alright. Bye Tiffany." "Bye Y/n."

I watched Tiffany as she crossed the road and entered her house before closing my door and going upstairs to continue eating my chocolate and singing a line or two from a song that popped into my head.
