Another Chance (Another Exchange Book 2)

Chapter 21-Safe than sorry

Y/n p.o.v
Elijah knocked on my bedroom door and I smiled as I took off my headphones to hug him. "How was lunch?" I asked, giving him a big, tight hug. "Just fine. I wish you were there though." Elijah said as I pulled away. "It was just lunch." I said with a smile. "Still...I brought you some of my mom's dessert. She insisted that I bring you some." Elijah said and I clapped my hands excitedly. "You did? Oh you are the best!" I said and Elijah laughed. "Oh crap! I forgot your ice cream in the car!" I said and rushed downstairs to find the house and car keys. 

Elijah p.o.v
'Of course she would forget the ice cream in the car. Typical Y/n.' I thought, smirking as I went down the stairs. Y/n shut the door and held a tub of my favorite ice cream flavor. She rushed to the kitchen and opened the container. "IT'S NOT THAT BAD! IT'S NOT SOUP!" She yelled and I laughed as she put it in the freezer. 

I came into the kitchen and she said,"It wasn't melted too bad. Only the sides were slightly liquid. Most was okay." She gave me a satisfied smile and I walked over to her, pulling her into a hug and kissed her on the forehead. "At least you got it." I said and she chuckled. Her face fell and I frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked, letting go of her to hold her hands and see her face properly. "Gabriel came by today and-" She began. "He didn't hurt you did he? What was he doing here?" I asked, interrupting her. Y/n looked at me with a displeased face and crossed her arms. "If you would let me finish and not interrupt me, you'll find out." She said. "Right. Sorry. Continue." I said and her displeased look went away. "Thank you." She said. "Gabriel came by today and asked for advice." Y/n said. "Advice?" I repeated. "Yeah. Apparently Becky cheated on him with four other guys and he didn't know how to get over it, so he came to me for help." "Who's Becky?" I asked, a confused look on my face. "The girl that he cheated with." Y/n said. "Oh yeah. Four guys? Wow...she's...yeah." "I don't know what to say about that." Y/n said and I smiled. "Well, what did you say to him?" I asked. "I told him that he can't do it alone, that he needs someone to help me." "That is true." I said, nodding knowingly. "He asked if I could be there for him and-" "What did you say?" I asked. Y/n narrowed her eyes and I realized my mistake. "Sorry. Sorry! Continue." I said. "I said that I didn't think that it wouldn't be appropriate and he agreed. He said that's he's going to go back to Britain."  Y/n said and I raised my eyebrows. "Whoa. Really?" I asked. "Yeah. Now we won't have to worry about him." Y/n said, giving me a smile. I nodded and she continued," I just wanted to tell you so that if you found out somehow that Gabriel came over, that you wouldn't get the wrong idea and get mad." "How could I be mad at this face?" I said and booped her nose. She giggled and said,"I'd rather be safe than sorry. Losing Gabriel was hard, but losing you would be way harder." I smiled and kissed her. "I won't let a stupid thing like miscommunication break us apart." I said as I broke the kiss and she smiled. 

"Elijah, tell your mum that her dessert was amazing!" Y/n said, coming into my bedroom with a spoon in her hand. "You ate it?" I asked. "Yes. What else was I supposed to do with it?" Y/n asked, frowning. "I don't know. Maybe share it with me." I said and she made an 'O' with her mouth. I smirked and said,"It's alright, I had by my parents anyway." "You should of told me that I should of kept you some." She said as she placed her hands on my shoulders and looked on my monitor. 

"What are you doing?" She asked, keeping her spoon away from my face. "I have no idea. Just sat in front of here and began searching random things that popped into my head. I watched DIY videos and I am thinking that we should do a house project." I said. "But I don't want to. I like the way the house looks." Y/n said and took her hands off my shoulders. I turned the chair around to look at her and said,"We should repaint this room." Y/n looked around at the room and said,"It wouldn't hurt to repaint this room. This color is quite boring." I nodded and she said,"But just so you know, I am not going to help you paint." "But we could be like a cute duo! Imagine it! You in dungarees, busy helping me paint this room. It would be a really nice project!" I said as I got up from my chair. "Do you think I like doing house projects?" Y/n asked and I laughed. "I am serious. I run in the mornings and then that's it. After that...I am like a potato." "But if you help me paint this room, you'll be an extra cute potato in dungarees!" I said and Y/n laughed. "When would you want to paint the room then?" She asked, a smile on her face. "Whenever we don't have anything planned." "I am not going to be doing anything next week. Taking a tiny break from Twitch." Y/n said. "Then we'll do it next week." I said, pulling Y/n closer by her waist. Her body hit against mine softly and she scrunched her nose. 

"Want to know what I am thinking about?" She asked softly. "How crazily in love you are with your amazing boyfriend?" I asked and she laughed. "No." She said. "No?" I asked. "I was thinking if we had any potato chips in the cupboard." She said honestly and I let go of her. "Really now Y/n?" I asked, a smile on my face. "I'll share with you if you want Elijah!" She said as she walked out of my bedroom. I rolled my eyes, smirk on my face and said,"That's not the point. It was a cute moment and then you think about potato chips!" Y/n laughed and I followed her downstairs. "I'll eat the chips with you, though." I muttered and Y/n smirked.
