Eli smiled sitting with Melinda at their lunch. Melinda nodded to the waiter as he placed her dish in front of her. Eli thanked the waiter as he placed his dish down before turning back to Melinda.
Melinda smiled picking up her fork. "So you two are hitting it off so well and a date at your place tonight." She started to eat.
Eli sighed softly poking at his good, "Yeah, slightly thinking of breaking off the date."
Melinda covered her mouth to hide the semi chewed food in her mouth. "What? Why?"
Eli still poked at his food. "After making the date my parents over heard and now are talking about being there."
Melina looked to him. "And how is that bad?"
Eli looked at Melinda, "Really, how is that bad?"
Melina looked to him slightly confused. "Yea she won't see them."
Eli sighed and put his fork down. "No but I'll hear them, What if I start talking to them with her there?"
Melina looked to him. "What if you don't?"
Eli shook his head. "What if she sees me talking to them and thinks I'm a freak?"
Melina sighed. "Yet again what if she doesn't?"
Eli sighed and looked to Melinda with fear in his eyes. "I love her so much I don't want to lose her over this ghost thing. In total she stated with me longer than 6 months. You yourself know that's a record for me."
Melinda smiled softly seeing the fear in Eli's eyes. "You really do care about her, and you're not just saying that."
Eli sighed looking at his dish. "I haven't felt this way around someone in a long time. As odd and cheese this sounds." He looked to Melinda, "I feel like I found the missing piece in my life."
Melinda looked like she was about to 'aw'. "Looks like you found your one."
Eli smirked softly. "Let's hope when she finds out my gift."
Melinda smiled. "I hope she does stay with you Eli."
Eli sighed softly. "I hope so too." He finally started his Lunch.
When Eli finished lunch with Melinda he headed off to pick up a few things for his date with Jasmine. He hoped to god everything would go as well as he wished. When he reached home he pulled out his classic black and white movies. He looked around the room and sighed when he heard something he didn't want to hear.
"So you're finally going to bring her home huh?" Ray's voice came from behind Eli.
Eli sighed. "Please dad doesn't start with me," He put his bag down on the counter. "And please don't interfere with the date."
Ray laughed. "Like your smart enough to keep the girl."
Eli rolled his eyes. "Thank you for the Support dad."
Melinda smiled when she put Aiden to bed. Aiden smiled as he sat on his father's lap as Melinda talked to him.
Jim smiled. "You have fun today?"
Aiden nodded. "Yea Uncle Eli took me to the carnival, and then Miss. Jasmine gave me some art stuff she won. She said she already had some."
Jim smiled. "That sounds great."
Aiden smiled and looked to Melinda. "Will things go ok with Uncle Eli tonight?"
Jim looked to Melinda. "What's going on with him tonight?"
Melinda smiled. "He has a date tonight with Jasmine." She looked to Aiden and smiled. "I'll let you know tomorrow how it when ok?" Aiden nodded and hugged both of them before crawling into bed.
Eli took a deep breath and looked around everything was going perfect so far. Jasmine was leaning on him as they watched movies with his arm wrapped around him. He had his foot propped up on the table and was relaxed. He looked to Jasmine and smiled seeing how relaxed and comfortable. Eli sighed, his worst fear started.
Ray was looking at the two of them on the couch. "What the hell is with her hair?"
Evelyn appeared next to Ray, "Oh leave her alone Ray."
Ray looked to her. "Leave her alone her hair as pink and blue."
Eli tried his best to ignore them. "Do you mind?" He shouted slightly.
Jasmine looked to him, "You ok?"
Evelyn pointed towards Eli. "Now look what you done."
Ray looked to her. "What I done?"
Eli growled slightly. "Both of you just shush." Jasmine pulled away from Eli and looked to him.
Ray crossed his arms. "No respect for his elders."
Eli growled more. "I respect both of you just," he grabbed Jasmine's wrist slightly. "Please let me explain."
Jasmine pulled her wrist away. "Please do."
Eli sighed softly seeing her starting to cut herself away from him, he knew it was only going to get worst. "I can hear ghost."
Jasmine looked at him. "What?"
Eli lowered his head. "I can hear ghosts." He didn't want to see the 'you're a freak' look on her face.
Jasmine looked away slightly before looking back to him. "Is this the only thing you been hiding from me?"
Eli nodded. "Yea that's my big secrete, and yea I'm a freak you don't have to stay."
Jasmine looked to him, "Yea you a freak." Eli let a sound of displeasure out lowering his head further placing is hands on the back of his head. Jasmine kneeled in front of him lifting his head and looked into his hurt eyes. "But it takes a freak to know a freak."
Eli still looked hurt. "What does that mean?"
Jasmine smiled. "I feel people's deaths, well un natural deaths." She smiled seeing his look go form hurt to puzzle. "You're the only other person I told. I told my parents when I was sixteen and they disowned me."
Eli looked into her eyes. "Wait you feel deaths?"
Jasmine nodded. "Un natural ones like murder."
Eli smirked softly. "So we were keeping secrets from each other."
Jasmine nodded and kissed him on the lips. "And I would and will to be have you as my freak."
Eli placed his hands on her wrist. "You do not know how much this means to me Jasmine." He kissed her back.
