Your Advice
Eli leaned back in his chair. She wasn't the 15 year-old girl trying to break the rules anymore, she was almost 20 now. Her favorite thing to wear was a gray hoodie that he had drawn a stick figure on. Hoodie, jeans, and silver ballet flats. She was always seen around the office, and soon, she became the new cause of Eli's maddening behavior. She had long brown hair that she liked to wear in loose curls. Then one day, she stopped into Eli's office to talk with him. "Hey, Eli...I need some advice."
"Shouldn't you go to someone else for that?"
"Gillian's with my dad. And I'm not one to interrupt."
"Okay. What sort of advice?" She walked over to the other side of the desk. She watched as Eli met her gaze and she spoke up.
"Relationship advice." Eli looked up, his brown eyes telling her everything. He didn't want to give her the advice she needed. "Please?"
"Fine...I guess."
"So I'm dating this guy. And he's really nice and all, but...I kind of like someone else." Eli saw the far away look in her eyes. She was thinking of this guy right then. "And I'm not sure if he likes me." Eli popped his knuckles and then replied.
"Well, you should find out if this guy likes you before breaking up with the guy you're dating." He looked back down at the folder he had been tapping his fingers against.
"Really?" Eli looked up at her again.
"Yeah. If you like him, find out if he likes you." When Eli thought she had gone, he stood, slid the folder into a desk drawer, and turned around to find Emily standing right there. He looked down at her and whispered across the small gap. "What are you doing?" She looked back up at him and closed the gap with her lips. After kissing Eli quite thoroughly, she backed away towards the door and watched as Eli stared at her, his brown eyes riddled with confusion and pleasure.
"It was your advice."
A/N: I know an Eli/Emily pair isn't to everyone's taste. But this one is more fluff than anything. Maybe a oneshot series will occur. Maybe.
