CHAPTER 8B
The next day Mary came over and we talked about what happened between Eli and I. "I know that I want Eli to be my first Mar, I just don't want it to be rushed and not special. You know?" "Well, did you tell him that?" "No, not in so many words. I mean, yes, I told him that I wasn't ready. Plus, I don't want him to be mad." "Is, I don't think that he's mad." "I know, I just wish that some relationships weren't based on sex." "Look, this point comes in every relationship. It'll past." "I hope so, I really do love him." "I know Is. I know." The phone rang and I got up and answered it. "Hello?" "Is, it's me." "Hi me. How are you?" "I'm good, I was just calling to say hi." "Hi." "Hi." I started to bite my lip. "E, you want to come over for dinner tonight?" "Okay." "Okay, seven thirtyish?" "I'll be there." "Good." "I'll see you then." "Alright then. Bye." "Bye." I hung up, turned to Mary and said, "Help."
About four hours later Mary and I finally sat down in the kitchen covered in different foods. "Is, you better get ready. You've only got 2 hours to get ready." "I know, but the candles need to be set out." "I'll do the candles, you take a bath. Deal?" "Deal." I started to leave the kitchen, "Oh, don't forget my room." "Got it." I went upstairs and started to fill the tub with water. I went to turn I turned the stereo on in my room and changed it to Mary's mixed CD. The first song was Jennifer Lopez's "Secretly." I got into the tub and soaked I the bubbles. About 40 minutes later Mary said through the door, "Is, I'm done. You want me to stay to help pick an outfit?" "Can you? I'll be out in a sec." "Gotcha." I stepped out of the bathtub, dried off and out my robe on. As I walked into my room Mary had three outfits picked out, "Alright, what are you going for?" asked Mary. "Um, romantic, sweet, but not too sweet." "Okay, then go with the pink button down cap sleeve top and khaki skirt." "Thanks Mary." "Not a problem, you are going to wow him. Look, I better go, have fun tonight." I rolled my eyes and said, "I will, don't worry I won't do anything that you wouldn't do." "Well, that doesn't leave you much not to do." Mary went downstairs and I heard the door close. I sat at my vanity table and brushed my hair. I decided to put half of it in a clip. After I put on some light makeup I looked at the clock, it read: 6:48pm. I went downstairs and turned the oven off.
After making sure that everything was straight downstairs I got dressed and turned off my stereo and started my way back downstairs. The doorbell rang as I was making sure the table was set. I opened the door and Eli stood there in a dark blue button down shirt and khakis. "Come in." He took his jacket off and said, "You look like an angel." "Thank you. You look amazing." He kissed my cheek and I took his hand. "Are you hungry?" "Starved." "Good." I led him to the dining room and showed him where to sit. As he sat down he said, "Are you trying to seduce me?" I laughed, "Are you seducible?" He looked at me and said, "I could be." I kissed him. "Good to know." I went into the kitchen and got the plates of food. I sat down and as we ate we make polite conversation.
~ On the Airplane ~
"Jasper, I'm glad that we decided to leave early. Won't Isabel be surprised." Cassandra said to Jasper as they sat in first class on their way back to Chicago. "I do too Cassandra. It'll be good to be home." "Oh Jasper, I agree." The pilots voice came over the speakers, "We will be landing in Chicago in about 8 hours. Please feel free to move about the cabin at this time." Cassandra took Jasper's hand and said, "Almost home honey, almost home."
~ Back at Isabel's House ~
Eli and I cleaned the dishes and cleared the kitchen. I told him to stay in the kitchen while I did something. I took the long matches and lit a few of the candles on the stairs and in the hallway to my room. I came back downstairs and turned the lights off, so that the only light was light from the candles that were lit. I got back and took his hand and lead him to the stairs. When we got to the stairs he pulled onto my hand and said, "Where are we going?" "Do you really have to ask?" I lead him up the stairs and to my room. As I opened the door unlit candles surrounded us. "Sit, I'll light tbe candles." He sat on the bed as "I lit the candles. After I finished I turned the stereo on. Enrique Inglesias' song "Hero" came on.
"Would you dance if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would cry if you saw me crying? And would you save my soul tonight?"
I sat next to Eli on the bed. He put his hand on my cheek and I closed my eyes. He kissed my cheek, then my lips. I started to undo the buttons on the shirt. As I got to the third one, he started on mine. I finished his buttons as he was on my third. We continued to kiss as I took his shirt off. It revealed his black wifebeater. We parted and he finished my buttons. He removed my shirt and I took my hair out of my clip and let my hair fall. He looked into my eyes and said, "Are you sure Is?"
"Would you tremble is I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die for the one you loved? Hold me in your arms tonight."
I kissed him and pulled away. He touched my lips and I said, "Yes." We kissed and laid down on the bed.
~ The Matheson's Car ~ 20 minutes from home
"Should we call Isabel? Just to make sure that she'll be home?" Cassandra asked. "No, we'll surprise her." "Great!" There was a flash of a bright light and the sound of tires squeaked on pavement. A cry sounded from one of two cars. Then there was black.
~ Back at Isabel's House ~
"I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away."
Eli and I lay in my bed kissing. Eli stopped and asked me, "Is, are you sure? There's no pressure. I love you and I'm willing to wait for as long as you need." "Eli, I love you. I want this. There is one thing though." "What?" "Do you have anything?" "Yes. I'll get it."
"Would you swear that you'll always be mine? Or would you lie? Would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care. You're here tonight."
~ Scene of the accident ~
Police sirens could be heard in the distance and also ambulances. Police cars surrounded two banged up cars. The ambulances came around and parked. Two people were put on stretchers while the other two lay on the pavement. One officer said to another, "I hate to be the one to tell their family." While the other said, "It's a shame, the ones who were driving drunk and who caused it are alive and barely hurt, while the ones who were completely innocent die." He shook his head and walked away.
"Oh, I just want to hold you. "I just want to hold you. Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care. You're here tonight."
Eli and I lay in the afterglow of what just happened. "So, no regrets?" asked Eli. I shook my head. "No regrets." "I kissed him. "I love you." "I love you too Isabel." And we fell asleep.
"I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away."
I woke up and saw that it was about 2:30 in the morning. I woke Eli up and said, "Do you have to go home?" Eli looked at me and said, "I don't want to, but I think that I have to." I smiled, "That's okay. There's always another time." Eli got up and got dressed. I put my robe on and followed him downstairs. As he left I locked the door and made sure all the candles had blown out. I got upstairs and fell back asleep.
"I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away."
I was awoken to a pounding on something. I went downstairs and saw that it was the door. I opened it and there stood two police officers. The taller one of the two said to me, "Are you Isabel Matheson?" "Yes, why." The same officer said, "May we come in?" I moved, "Certainly." We stood in the foyer and the shorter on said, "We better just cut to the chase. Your mother and father were in an accident last night." I shook my head, "No, that can't be they're in Europe." "I'm sorry Miss Matheson, they must have been on their way home. The people in the other car were drinking." "I looked at them, "Are my parents okay?" The taller one shook his head while the shorter one said, "I'm sorry Miss Matheson, they were gone before we got there." Tears started to well up in my eyes. Things started to blur. One of them said, "We'll go. We're so sorry." I opened the door for the to leave and after they left I fell to the floor and cried.
