THE BOLDEST STROKE ( The Half Of it) / ELLIE & ASTER

08

Aster: I had fun.

Ellie: we did nothing today

Aster: I had fun looking at you

Ellie: gosh

Aster: so? Are you going to answer my question now? Why me?

Ellie, we still have four days.

Aster: so when will you tell me? On the last day of our deal?

Ellie: I'm not going to tell you.

But I will make sure you will know it yourself.

Aster: that's deep.

Ellie: goodnight aster

Aster: see you tomorrow.

Day 4 - 7

Ellie received a message from aster

Aster; sorry I can't make it today. Trig ask me to go with him.

Ellie: what time will you be home?

Aster: I'm not sure. I'm sorry

Ellie: it's ok. Have fun

Aster: there's no fun being with a man full of himself

Ellie spend some time with her dad

And paul, eating taco sausage

Paul: you miss her?

Ellie: it's just that I have a plan today, but it's not possible because she can't make it

Paul; maybe, it is God's plan so you can be with your dad and me

Ellie: I told you, find a girl who can be with you always

Paul: I don't need some girl, I have you, and that's all that matters

Ellie: paul, you can stay like this forever. Dad and I will remain in Iowa for good.

I will take him with me

Paul: what?!

Ellie: I need to watch over my dad. I can't leave him.

Paul; but, I'm taking good care of him.

Ellie, you have your life, paul, live for it. Not for me. But for you.

Paul was sad about Ellie's plan, but he knows he can't stop her. Except for one person.

Ellie was on her bed when somebody threw a stone through her window. When she looks outside, she couldn't stop herself from smiling. It was Aster Flores.

She quickly went outside, .full of excitement.

Aster: are you going to sleep already?

Ellie, yes! I mean no.

Aster: you look like you are. Sorry, I sneak out. my dad won't let me

Ellie; thank you for showing up

But it's already late.

Aster; so? Will I go home?

Ellie: ahm. I don't know what to say or what to do

Aster: you want to watch a movie?

Ellie: ahm. our tv is so out of date, and movies are so old, older than my dad

Aster: I have a film on my phone

Ellie: really?

Aster: yes. we can watch it here outside or maybe in your room

Ellie, in my ( Swallowed) in my room?

Aster, it's alright if you don't want to.

Ellie; no. I mean, yes! let's go to my room

Aster; oh

Ellie; and watch a movie

They went inside carefully because Ellie's dad was already asleep.

Aster: what if he finds out that I'm here?

Ellie; then say hi to him

Aster: great!

They both sat down on the bed, and both were uneasy

Aster: the movie is a little bit long

And it's good that we are comfortable while watching, so maybe we can both lay on the bed?

Ellie; oh, sure! let's lay on the bed. ( Swallow)

Aster: your room is so lovely and so organized.

Ellie; thanks

Their face was so close like they were about to kiss but not exactly
