Chapter 18- Ragu

Wilson

I took Elena home at five forty-five and when we got there she went upstairs to change and I got out the ingredients and supplies to make the Ragu. I turned on a Coldplay playlist to cook to. The sun was starting to set and it shone orange through the windows.

I hummed along with the song and Elena came down in a yellow dress that had sequins all over the top and a long puffy skirt that flowed behind her as she walked. She had her hair down and it cascaded to her shoulders like a waterfall of red velvet. "Will you zip me up?"

"Of course," she walked over and I put my hand on her back and zipped up the dress for her and kissed her shoulders.

"You like it?"

"You look stunning," I answered, truly amazed by her. She walked over to me and I put my arm around her. "I don't want to mess up your beautiful dress."

"I'll be careful," she promised as I stirred. As I cooked, "Shiver" by Coldplay came on. This was the song Elena and I had picked out to be our first dance song.

"May I have this dance?" I asked, "The Ragu has time to simmer." I twirled her around and we both laughed.

"I'm surprised House hasn't come here yet," she said.

"He's out drinking with Foreman and Thirteen," I said and kissed her softly, "I asked them to hang out with him."

"Thank you," she said and I lifted her off her feet and kissed her.

"So, you know what, I say we go somewhere in the next two weeks before the public ceremony," I said, "Mexico, maybe."

"South of France? Or would that take too long to get over there and then we'd have no time…?' she asked.

"We could go maybe as a honeymoon after the ceremony," I promised, "But we will go."

"Okay," she said and hugged me, "I wish Seth had seen my wedding."

"I bet he saw from wherever he is. Come to think of it, I bet he had the best view of all," I kissed her forehead. "Do you think he approves of your choice of husband?"

"He liked you," she told me, "he said so numerous times to me and Tiff. So I think he'd want me to fall in love with someone like you."

"I liked him too. He seemed to really care about you and Tiffani."

"He did," Elena whispered and tears streamed down her face.

"I know he did love," I said and gave her a kiss and lifted her up against me. Her yellow dress' train cascaded to the floor. We stayed this way for a few minutes as the playlist I had continued to play and I wiped her tears. "I know."

"Thank you for understanding," she said.

"Of course, Elena. Come here and taste the Ragu. Let's be careful with your beautiful dress," I put a wooden spoon in the pot and I fed it to Elena. "You like?"

"It's amazing."

"Glad you like it. It should be ready soon."


I wonder how you guys feel about Elena as a character. Do you think she's cool/ Too needy? Let me know, I'll be really interested in your opinions!
