I'm sure it will soon become a habit to wake up next to Ella every morning. I love this habit. I love to open my eyes and see this beautiful face in front of me. I love how I can hug her all night.
"Good morning."
"Morning." She stretches, then moves closer to me. "Shall we stay here a little longer?"
"As long as you want."
We lie in bed until our friends arrive and invite us to have lunch together in our beautiful dining room. I don't really want to get up just to eat with friends, but everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other better. I don't know the new girls, and they don't know anyone either. Plus, it's my chance to see if William was serious to became a good brother to me again. Deep down I know I've missed him; I have a hope for the best.
In order to become closer to each other, we're planning to go out for a small picnic in the evening, fry marshmallows on a fire, tell each other the most embarrassing stories of our lives. In general, it's chance to get closer to each other. Yes, my friends and I try to improve our relationship.
"Don't believe anything they'll say." When we return to the room to change into something warmer, I tell Ella. "The guys are terrible liars; they'll embellish the story so that nothing remains of the original." They'll definitely start telling the most embarrassing stories from my childhood and school life.
"I'm more and more curios in your past." Ella says with sparkling eyes. She goes to the bathroom to change clothes, while I sit in the room and stare at the wall. I repeat the lunch in my head, Will was quiet, which is unusual. I kind of like it. He smiled to me few times, openly held Andy's hand. He seems to be ready to come out to our friends, at least he doesn't hide his feelings about Andy. I forgot how cute they can look together, when there's no fear. We used to spend a lot of time together, just three of us.
Plans change we're not going outside to roast marshmallows because the weather isn't right. One of the guys makes snacks for everyone. Since he loves only healthy food, he has cooked it. I must say, it turns out to be really tasty. He doesn't fill everything with too much oil, it's not oversalted, in general, it's perfect.
We all settle into the large living room to watch a movie. In this house there's a small projector that could be rearranged. We choose to watch "Home Alone". Everyone has already seen it this year, but the film can definitely be reviewed over and over again.
Ella and I settle into an armchair, cover with a warm blanket to make sure we don't get cold. Her head lay on my shoulder, and we warm each other. I'm in love with this feeling, we don't even speak to be comfortable together. Isn't it romantic? It seems to me so.
After "Home Alone" movie, we watch "Love Actually". We don't concentrate on the movie anymore; we just talk all the time. I've learned a lot about my friends, about what they're doing now in life. I've even heard some stories from school life for the first time. They've also learned something about their dates, Ella's told a little about herself. So, little by little, we begin to get to know each other, and those who has known each other began to understand each other better.
