The Way We Fell

F E E L I N G S

"Right so it's only around me..." Elias says and I can't help but look up at him at the sound of amusement in his voice.

His face matched his tone all filled with enthusiasm and his smile. It was a beautiful thing.
It should be illegal.

Boom Boom

There goes my heart again.

Of course it was barely a full smile. Sort of like a half smile.
But it was still there and it still made my heart swell.

It also enhanced my own smile.

Girlfriend...

The word bangs in my head as a reminder. It also sobers me up from the feelings I was having.

I feel my face drop slowly and my head tilt down a little bit.

I couldn't help but think about the way he called me baby and my heart soared or the way he comforted me and held me. The way he defends me and cares if I want to be around him.

It was all things someone in a committed relationship wouldn't or in my opinion shouldn't do. All though I was one to talk I've never even been in any kind of romantic relationship.

No one's ever seen me that way....

But still I knew that if I was a girl in a relationship I wouldn't feel comfortable with my partner behaving that way and that's what convinced me to ask him..

I lifted my head slowly facing Elias's now dark eyes.
So beautiful...

FOCUS ADDY...

"Are you- I mean like- the girl that was here- are you guys like a-um " I spit out.

Who let me out of elementary school ?

"A couple" Elias finished smoothly for me.

I couldn't even look him in the eye.

"Yeah" I whispered.

"Fuck no" He said roughly.

What ?
I ignored the annoying feeling of relief that settled in my chest and I instead asked

"But she called you babe" I practically whisper the last word.

I peered up at Elias to see the most egomaniacal the most egotistical and the most jerkish smirk plastered on his face.

I suddenly realized how all this looked. Me being upset and asking about the blonde then about why she called him babe.

I looked...jealous.

Oh no.

No way. I wasn't jealous of Elias. Why would I be ?
And then suddenly Elias leaned forward across the table he was so close.
I sucked in a small breath. I could smell the mint off his breath.
His manly scent took away the oxygen from around me and it became my air instead.
I loved how he smelled.

"Are you jealous Adeline ?" Elias whispers.

"I-" It was the only word of sound I could even form.
