I noticed a hearse parked in my driveway.
"The Hell?"
Then, the doorbell rang. What is Eli doing here at 7AM, but better yet, what am I even doing up at 7? Must've pulled an all nighter.
I went downstairs to answer it.
"Hey, wanna go out for breakfast?" He smirked.
"You seemed like the person to sleep until like 2, why're you here?" I folded my arms.
"Because I can be, and saw you were online. Come on, let's go."
"Ugh, fine." He walked around to the passenger seat and held the door open for me. He was so polite.
We drove to a local Tim Horton's. Wow, I haven't had donuts in a long time. I sat down while he ordered both of our favorites, chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Two for each of us, and he got us coffee.
When he sat back down, he slid my donuts toward me, and slid the coffee towards me.
"You know I always burn my tongue when I drink coffee." I frowned.
"I know, but you always say how good it tastes."
I took a sip, and I jumped. Yep, I burned my tongue. He laughed at me.
"That's cute. You always do that no matter what."
I glared at him. He put his hands up and changed the subject.
"Look, Mallory, I've been meaning to tell you something."
"So you had to come and get me at 7 in the morning to tell me? Haha, just kidding. Spill it."
"Um.. How do I put this.." He looked down at his coffee for a minute. "I.. kind of.. Like you. Well, maybe more than that. Ever since we met, I felt a connection. I'm.. I'm in love with you, Mallory." He started blushing.
I blushed, uncontrollably. He smiled, and took that as a good sign.
"And that's the same thing I've been meaning to tell you." I smiled at him.
"So.. What happens now? I'm not good with this stuff." He chuckled.
"This means, you're my boyfriend and I'm your girlfriend."
Senior year, my first boyfriend, his first girlfriend. Finally.
"Sounds good to me." He smiled and turned his head.
I laughed and finished my donut. This was going to be great.
