Chapter 7

Hold My Heart

Oh man. I blinked groggily and raised my head to look over at my clock. 9 am. Oh did it feel good to sleep in. I flipped over so that I was now lying on my back. I have four hours till muscles comes over to pick me up.

I roll myself on the bed until my feet are close to floor, and I get up. I walk over to the bathroom and walk in. Before I get in the shower I notice my reflection in the mirror. Holy peanut brittle. My hair looks like a birds nest. Like the size of big birds nest bad.

I sigh and hop in the shower. I try to get myself extra squeaky clean, and when that accomplished I get out and head to my room for some clothes.

What the bageez am I supposed to wear. I stare openly at my closet when I finally decide that you can't go wrong with jeans, so I pull out some skinny jeans and a striped brown and navy blue long sleeve shirt, and brown cardigan. Normally I would put on my brown boots with the cute buckles, but muscles looks like the type of guy that hikes for fun, so I'm safer with converse.

I grave the clothes and head back to the bathroom I get dressed, and then comes the issue with my hair. I decide that I should blow dry it. I style it so the ends of my hair curl a little, I turn around to examine it and it looks nice, the curls are symmetrical when it reaches my shoulder blades. I face the mirror to blow dry my side bangs.

I look into the mirror. Now this is the girl I remember from California, the happy smiling Ellie without any real problems. The girl with the dark chocolate brown eyes, pink lips, and tan skin. This is the Ellie my parents would be proud of. And to think this is the girl muscles brings out in me.

"Yo El can you come downstairs!"

"Huh? Oh yeah sure Danny be right down!"

I head over down stairs and find my uncle in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. Danny hates coffee, as much as I do.

"Umm Danny everything ok?"

"Yeah it's just Leah, we had such a good time on the date and she hasn't called me back yet."

"Aww Dan relax she'll call, but wait you're the guy you go call her. Grow a pair and talk to her."

"Ellie. " I was about to argue right back at me when he realized I was right.

"Yeah El your right. I'll call her, but wait why are you all dolled up? Are you going on a date with that muscular guy from yesterday?" I moved his eyebrows in the up and down motion.

"Yes I mean no. it's not a date be we are going to hang out. He's supposed to be here at-"

I got cut off the sound of a motor cycle engine. What the Frick? I turn to look at the clock. It took my 3 freakin' hours to get ready?

I see muscles make his way up the drive way. Oh man. Why am I always running late? I turn to my uncle.

"Stall him."

Before I give him a chance to answer I run up the stairs for my sunglasses and some finishing touches. Although I can still here everything going on. Danny wasn't kidding when he told muscles yesterday that the walls are thin.

I hear my uncle open the door.

"So we meet again macho man." Dammit Danny.

I grave my phone and run down the stairs.

I get to the door, out of breath and muscles looks at me. Giving me the 'are you ok?' look with his eyes.

I give a small smile in response.

"Should we go then?" muscles says.

I nod and make my way to the door. When my uncle decided to speak up again.

"Hey macho man! You better take care of my Ellie. She's the only thing I have now. If you hurt her, well just now my brother was a boxer, and he taught me AND Ellie a few things. So just think about that. Any who you kiddos have fun!" and he went back inside.

That was my uncle for you.

I turned and saw muscles straddle the bike. Was I supposed to get on that thing?

"Hop on twinkle toes." He said with a smile "unless you're scared."

Pshh me scared? You bet.

I swing my leg over and straddle the bike. Muscles starts the engine I jump a little and grave on to him tight.

I feel him get tense, and the slowly relax to my touch.

He turns around. "I hope you didn't eat a big breakfast cause first stop is lunch at my house."

"Sounds good, I'm starving." I say and right on cue my stomach growls, which just make muscles laugh.

He takes off on the bike. Oh God. I grave on to him so tight I'm afraid I'm gonna break his rib cage.

We finally reach what I figure is his house. It's not as big as mine, but it seems nice, cozy, and welcoming. We get off the bike and head into his house. When I'm greeted by a man in a wheelchair.

"Ellie this is my dad Billy Black. Dad this is Ellie Hunter."

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Black. Thank you for letting me in your home." I say with a sincere smile.

"Please Ellie call me Billy. And it's nice to finally meet you. I've heard too much about you from Jacob here."

I turn to look at muscles and he looks down embarrassed. I smile to myself inside.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Now it shouldn't surprise me that what muscles cooked for me was a sandwich, but yet it still did.

We ate with Billy and we made small talk. When Billy made a comment that made me feel on top of the world. "Don't tell Charlie Jake, but I like Ellie here better than Bella. She's happier and well she's not afraid to talk."

Bella: 0 Me:1

I offer to help muscles wash the dishes, and we do just fine until he decided to splash me with water.

"You did not just do that muscles."

"Oh I think I just did twinkle toes."

I grave the dish towel and wind it up and smack him in the butt.

"Oh twinkle toes it's on." We end up having a mini fight laughing like crazy. Billy walks in and I can see a smile across his face.

We finish the dished when muscles tell me what he has in store for us next. A hike in the woods to his favorite spot.

I knew it. Well I'm glad I brought my converse.
