It took almost two months for the book to finally be moved into the library, and their plan could finally start. The trio worked in shifts to overlook the library, awaiting the arrival of the book. It was currently Allison's turn to keep an eye on the library while Alec and Eleanor sat on Alec's bed, their backs to the wall.
Their conversation long since died down, both instead content with silence and enjoying each other's company until Alec spoke up. "I know it's not a wedding ring or anything like that but I wanted you to have something that showed everyone that you're mine," he searched inside his pockets to pull out a light pink bracelet and placed it around Eleanor's wrist, fastening it so it wouldn't slide off.
Eleanor couldn't stop smiling as she looked down at her wrist with the bracelet on it, pressing a gentle kiss to Alec's cheek. "It's beautiful, I love it, thank you so much."
Over the past two weeks, Eleanor had noticed a slight change in Alec; he became more boyfriend than boy she was bound for life with. She'd felt a change too, she felt butterflies in her stomach every time he kissed her cheek or held her hand, but then she felt a fire burn within her every time his lips were on hers, she wanted him; more than she'd ever wanted anyone else before.
Before either of them fully realized it, they were in a full on make-out session and furiously grabbing each other's clothes in an attempt to get closer. First Alec managed to tare Eleanor's shirt clean off before Eleanor smirked a little and practically destroyed Alec's shirt as revenge. Just as things were properly heating up, Allison walked in, babbling about something until she stopped and almost squealed.
"Goddammit, Allie! Would it kill you to knock?" Eleanor hastily squealed out as she grabbed a sheet to cover herself with as Alec sighed, lying back on the bed with his eyes closed.
Allison laughed for a solid minute before she spoke. "Not in my nature, babes. But in other news; it's in the library. It arrived this morning. Ellie, put Super Freak on and get your ass into the shower; it's flirting time." She gave the pair a wide smile before leaving the room, closing the door behind her.
Eleanor sighed as she lay back on the bed beside Alec before moving onto her side and propping herself up on her elbow. "Sorry, babe, duty calls. But we will pick this up when I get back, I promise," she pressed a gentle kiss to Alec's lips before slipping off the bed to run after Allison and her bedroom to get changed.
After her shower, Eleanor sat in front of Allison's large mirror and stared at her reflection as Allison did her hair and make-up to make her look as irresistible as possible. Even with the incredible hair and make-up Allison had done, Eleanor still had doubts in her mind that their master plan wouldn't work. "Why couldn't you have done it? I mean, you're prettier and flirtier than me."
Allison frowned a little, placing down the mascara brush she was using. "I agree but since you have compulsion, it's easier if he doesn't take the bait – trust me, you'll be fine," she gave her best friend a gentle smile and a hug before searching through her wardrobe for something Eleanor could wear; finally deciding on a blush embroidered crop top, a light pink mini skirt, white platform block heels and light pink sunglasses – the "perfect" flirting outfit in Allison's eyes.
After changing, Allison and Eleanor walked towards the library together but quickly separated once they noticed the guard at the restricted section of the library. The plan was for Eleanor to get the book, while Allison stayed on lookout and wait for Eleanor to come back with the book – something that was far easier said than done. But if something did go wrong, Eleanor told Allison to leave if she didn't return within fifteen minutes.
Eleanor forced a smile as she walked towards the guards, imagining herself being Allison as she tried to persuade her way inside but nothing worked. Rolling her eyes, she used her compulsion. "You will let me into this section and you will tell no-one of this."
Unsurprisingly, it worked and Eleanor was allowed inside. But now the hard work began, she needed to find the book without being caught. It took almost half an hour to find it – short in Eleanor's mind since she needed to find one book in a library with over two thousand books inside. She ran all the way back to her room, where she knew Allison would be waiting for her. "Got it!" She squealed, throwing the book to Allison before flopping down on the bed, face first.
Author's Note: The plan is finally being set into motion! Sorry this is short; writer's block is such a bitch sometimes.
Alec and Ellie are so adorable together, I can't even.
I have a story written by myself and my lovely friend Nahannah on our shared account; Lornahannah and it's called Vampicide. It combines the cheerleader squad from Afterlife, Saskia from Parade and Sunny from Nahannah's story Dead Girl Walking; and brings them together to become the Suicide Squad to take down the Volturi. You guys should check it out!
Until next time;
Lorna.
