Chapter Four
Mmm, this feels so nice…
Huh? Who caught me!
Zoey opened her eyes, only to meet aquamarine ones staring back at her.
It was Elliot.
His gaze was fixed on her face, and Zoey felt her cheeks flush immediately.
'God Strawberry, can't you walk over a stable, flat surface without finding something to trip over?'
Zoey was in his arms, and they stayed like that for a while.
God. Why is my heart pounding so furiously? I know for a fact that I don't have feelings for Elliot, so why? I love Mark! But then again, why don't I feel like this around Mark anymore? I used to, but it's like the magic between us has just disappeared.
'Hello Zoey! Anyone home?' teased Elliot.
'Oh, erm, oh, I'm sorry.' She stammered.
Why am I stammering? And why do my cheeks still feel hot? It's not like I fancy him!
'Stupid Strawberry.' Said Elliot, rolling his eyes.
Grr, why can't he be nice for once? But hey, it's not like I expected him to be all, 'Zoey, are you okay? You look beautiful, and by the way, I love you!' I guess I should have expected this.
'Okay then Strawberry, get off me then, we all know you can't get enough of me, but at least let me stand up!' chuckled Elliot, interrupting her thoughts, and causing her to go bright red.
'Jeez! Calm down, I'm getting up!' shrieked Zoey, quickly getting to her feet, and feeling more heat rush to her cheeks.
She dusted herself off, and smoothed her skirt back down.
'Good, that's better, I can breathe now, and your stupid hair isn't in my face anymore.'
'Whatever.' Zoey sighed, clearly defeated, and too tired to argue further.
'Okay, come on then.'
'What are you doing?'
'What do you think I'm doing? Raping you?'
'No, but I'm sure that you'd like to, and would jump at any opportunity you get, you being the pervert you are.' Laughed Zoey.
'Oh grow up, and come on, I haven't got all day you know, I actually have stuff to do, unlike some people. Oh, and you can talk, seeing as you're intoxicated by my very presence' He commented with a wink.
'Thanks for walking me home Elliot. I guess.' Said Zoey feeling rather tired.
They were on Zoey's doorstep having an almost normal conversation without any shouting for once.
'Whatever Strawberry, just get inside, so I can leave.' Sighed Elliot deeply.
'Okay, but one more question, why did you walk me home? It's not like I'm incapable of walking home by myself, without being kidnapped by aliens!'
Elliot paused for a moment, and then replied simply, 'Because I love you.'
Huh? Oh my god, did he just say what I think he said? No it can't be! No way! He doesn't have feelings for me! Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't matter, as I am Mark's girlfriend now. Aah Mark, I haven't seen him much lately, I guess he's just been busy with kendo and stuff.
'Wait Elliot, what did you just say?'
'I said I love you!'
Oh my god! He DID say that! No way! No way! No way! What should I say? Should I tell him I love him back, even though I don't? Or do I? No, no, I do NOT fancy Elliot Grant!
'Well, erm…I guess that's cool.' Stammered Zoey, still rather shocked.
Oh no! How stupid was that? He just said he loved me, and all I could come up with, was 'Well erm…I guess that's cool.'? Stupid me…
However, didn't seem to mind, and instead, Zoey found Elliot's arms snaking around her waist, and heard him say, 'See Zoey, I knew you loved me back.'
'A lot.' He added.
Whoa, this is rather awkward. Ooh, my head feels so nice against his shoulder. No wait! What am I thinking? What is wrong with me today?
Elliot pulled away, and then quickly pressed his lips to hers.
'Hey you! How dare you? Zoey!'
Their short kiss was interrupted by a loud, booming voice. And boy, it sure sounded angry! Zoey spun right around and gasped with shock, and froze on the spot. She was still dizzy from the kiss, which, although it was short, she still seemed to enjoy it, considering she already had a boyfriend.
Zoey's eyes and mouth were wide open, as she tried not to let her jaw drop all the way to the floor.
'I, I can explain!' she mumbled nervously.
Elliot, who was stood behind her, simply let out a quiet chuckle…
