True Love Never Dies
Chapter 7:
Ellen's POV:
Taking a seat at the table, I looked around, unsure of what to think, I was hoping that no one would bring up what just happened. I looked over to where Embry was seated, stuffing his face with a sandwich. With the smirk that was on his face I knew I was in for it when he had finished eating. I sighed quietly and sipped at my water as they all continued to eat, what if they told my mum or dad? I knew I was in for it this time.
Looking over to Max as he made his way over to the table he took the seat next to mine, I could hear the snickers from across the table. I rolled my eyes and pretended I didn't hear a thing. Looking over to Max he had already loaded his plate, more then I've seen him eat before but closer size to what the others had.
"Are you not going to eat anything?" Max asked, I shook my head lightly.
"I'm really not hungry," He nodded slightly and put a few slices of mango onto my plate.
"Your favourite, and there's probably some left over pizza if you want it too," I smiled softly up to him in appreciation.
"Thank you," I whispered as I smiled up at him. He nodded and went back to eating. I picked at the mango.
Slowly everyone had finished their lunch and made their way back to the lounge. I watched them for a moment before clearing up the table and getting started on the dishes, it was all out of habit but it was the least I could do for Nessie.
Putting the last of the plates into the dishwasher I turned it on as I felt arms snake around my waist. "You didn't have to do all that by yourself, you should've asked for help." Max said as I rested my head back onto his chest. It felt so strange being so close to him, a few days ago we where best of friends now it was as if something had changed, our bond was growing stronger.
"It's the least I could have done," I smiled up to Max as I looked around the kitchen, double checking everything was finished. Smiling slightly to myself I turned around in his arms to face him and look up at him.
"Well thank you," he grinned a little "I know my mum appreciates it,"
"I know," I smiled softly as he kissed my forehead; he was making my heart melt. He pulled me into a hug, I wrapped my arms around him to hug him back, I never remembered him being so tall, but nothing could ruin this perfect moment.
Pulling back slightly he looked down at me and whispered "Ellen?"
"Yea?" I looked up at him curiously; his eyes seemed full of love and happiness.
"Would you be my girlfriend?" His voice was shaky. Should I have seen this coming?
"I'd love to be," I grinned even wider and pulled him into a super tight hug.
"Thank you," I heard him whisper as he hugged me super tighter. I rested my forehead on his chest before he spoke again "we should go back to the lounge, before they pick something's up," he chuckled slightly. I looked up to see him looking happier than ever, he looked as if all his dreams had come true, was this because of me?
"Good point," I laughed softly and he took my hands before kissing my forehead softly "come with me," he whispered before we headed back to the lounge, me trailing not far behind him.
"And the love birds are back!" Embry called, as the boys broke into chuckles. I knew we were in for it.
"There's only one seat left, who'll take the floor?" Jared Mocked. I rolled my eyes went to take the place on the floor in front of the seat Max had taken. He reached up and wrapped his arms around my waist loosely, pulling me onto his lap.
Their eyes where almost bulging out of their sockets. I could help but laugh softly.
"You seriously don't think I'd let my girlfriend it on the floor did you?"
Their jaws all dropped and I couldn't help but giggle happily, I had nothing else to say, but I was defiantly the happiest girl on earth.
Resting my head on Max's shoulder I gazed towards the TV, not bothered to watch the movie that somehow had all the others so interested. It wasn't long before Nessie and Jacob decided to join everyone else pulling up another couch as they too were quickly hooked onto the movie with the occasional looks over to Max and I.
I could feel my eyes getting heavy so I snuggled up to Max's chest, fiddling with one of the buttons on his shirt I closed my eyes, hoping for a 20 second speed nap. I felt a blanket being placed over me as I closed my eyes and snuggled up to Max, falling sleep in his strong arms.
