Ellie's Angel

Part 12 - Consequences of love

Entering the living room,I see Rory sitting at the coffee table. He appears to be lost in his thoughts,blankly staring at the page in front of him,holding a pen.

I tilt my head to the side observing him. His shirt slightly outlines the muscles of his body,especially his arms. He must be working out and swimming very hard?

I redden slightly at the thought of him shirtless. Ellie you perv! Snap out of it! What the hell am I thinking and standing around for!?

"Rory?" I walk up to him,tapping his shoulder.

Rory's point of view ...

She's so beautiful ... I was deep in thought when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder. I turn to look at Ellie who was smiling as always.

"Huh? Oh,hi. I didn't hear you come in," I frantically explain.

"It's alright. I brought you some food since I figured you might be hungry," she gestures to the kitchen.

"That's so thoughtful of you," I smile and raise myself up from the ground.

We sat down in the kitchen and had a late lunch together. It was always nice to spend time with her. She manages to brighten up even the bleakest day.

I glance down at my watch and my eyes suddenly widen as a panic runs through my veins.

"Shit,I almost forgot!" I clasp my forehead.

"Forgot what?" She asks keen.

"Uh,nothing - I have to go,but I'll be back soon."

I jump up and run towards the door,opening it,I glance at a confused Ellie over my shoulder and run out. I hope she likes it.

Four hours later ...

Ellie's point of view.

It's been hours since Rory left. I was busy watching television, something I rarely had the chance to do,when a knock caught my attention.

"Huh? Must be Rory?" I get up from the couch and go to open the door.

To my surprise it wasn't, Rory but Emil. Wait a minute what's going on here? Both show up in one day. I narrow my eyes.

"Hello,Emil."

"Hi,Ellie."

I opened the door for him to enter. Emil casually walks in with a whistle. He is happier than usual. I wonder why?

"Would you like something to drink?" I ask closing the door.

"Yes,please. Sorry to barge in like this,but I had to see if you were okay," he smiles and sits down at the kitchen table.

"Really? That's very kind of you."

Emil's point of view.

I redden slightly after she mentioned I'm kind. Ah,she's so gorgeous. Not a day goes by without her crossing my mind. 

"What's all those books and papers?" I ask looking at them.

"Oh,those belong to Rory," she explains with a smile.

Ugh! That guy. He really gets under my damn skin. Why is he always around when I am? Dammit. I wonder what he's up to this time around?
