I stood outside of Morty, just staring at my reflection against the shiny tinted window. Eli came out of The Dot and looked at me strangely, "What's wrong?"
"I think I might have to get liposuction," I said plainly, turning to face him.
"W-What?" He stuttered, "Why would you need that?"
"I mean for my boobs. They're way too big. I hate it, look," I walked around in a circle, "They move too much even when I walk!"
"Are you inviting me to stare at your breasts?" He smirked. That sentence made me love him 200% more, just because he respected the female body enough to say "breasts" instead of some dirty-sounding slang word.
"Ah, forget I said anything!" I zipped up the hoodie that I stole from the back of the hearse, hearing him chuckle made me blush. I really had just commanded him to stare at my chest! Wow…
The car ride was intensely silent. I did a double-take as I looked at the digital clock in the car; It's already 4 PM!
"Eli!" I yelled. He swerved the car to the side, almost mauling an old lady with a walker, panting heavily.
"What! What happened?" He was very alarmed.
My mouth formed a big "O."
"I just wanted to let you know how late it's getting."
"My God, Carly, you…" He trailed off, "I guess we better get to the park then."
I had almost forgot completely that the park was our original destination!
"Wait," I put my hand on his just as he began to turn the wheel to get back into the lane. I then realized what I was doing, "Nevermind."
"It's so peaceful here!" I fell back onto the grass. I breathed in the fresh-cut smell of the little green reeds and rolled over so I was on my stomach, "Except for, you know, all the obnoxious kids right ten feet over there."
"I don't mind," He slowly sat down next to me. I looked over at him and started to play with a loose string from his moon boot type shoe. Then I noticed something. I really, probably, definitely shouldn't have done this, but I reached up and grabbed his thigh. HOLD UP! If you think I was being perverted and trying to seduce him, STOP READING. I noticed his skinny jeans were actually really loose. I wanted to see how small his legs actually were. Pretty small!
I removed my hand and just stared up at the sky. I felt his eyes on me, and through the corner of my eye I could see his flushed face, "May I help you, Elijah?"
"You just felt my thigh. That's kind of intimate." (1)
"I'm sorry," I said sincerely, there really was absolutely no intimacy behind that. Oh well. I sat up and got really, really close to his face. I grabbed his chin and moved his face from side to side. I noticed that his left ear is slightly higher up than his right, his eyelashes are really long and somewhat girly, his teeth are a reasonable size, and when I lifted up his bangs, guess what I saw. GUESS.
I'm pretty sure you didn't guess correctly. A ZIT! This boy with normally perfect skin had a zit! And you know what I realized? All these little imperfections made me fall in-like with him even more. They reminded me that he's beautiful. I know that sounds weird, a guy: beautiful? But I think it's appropriate here, don't you?
I bit my lip and kissed his cheek very gently. His face became warm as my lips were pressed slightly against his skin. I didn't pull away first before wrapping my arms around him and embracing him for a long while.
Wow, I know this chapter pretty much SUCKS PANCAKES. I'm really sorry I haven't been updating, high school homework takes for-EVER to do, even with a study hall every day! Man… Anyway, review! You know you want to! Do it! Review for Munro Chambers!3
I kind of stole that from "Captivate" by Carrie Jones. It's in like the last chapter. It's a realllly good book if you're looking for something to read
