"Do you have a crush on me?"
"Would you maybe wanna go on, like, a study date?"
"Wyatt?"
"Yeah?"
"I like like you to."
Wyatt stared at the ceiling of his room. All the memories came flooding back. He was so excited, she would be back tomorrow. Just one more sleep, and Eliza would be home. He would see her every day, he could take her on dates, but most importantly, he could kiss her for the first time. Properly.
He closed his eyes, and imagine seeing her for the first time in two months, introducing her to the Aliens and seeing her face when she'd see the gift he'd got her. He opened his eyes once more and reached out to get his bedside table to get the small box. He opened it and gently pulled out the necklace inside. It was gold with a locket hanging around the chain. Inside was a picture of the two of them from Prawn.He couldn't stop smiling, he knew she'd love it.
He was so excited for her to be home again.
"WYATT! GET UP NOW! SHE'S TWENTY MINUTES AWAY!" Wyatt was woken up to Willa screaming from outside the door. He looked at his clock; 13:21! He had over slept! He jumped up, got dressed as quickly as he could, brushed his teeth and legged it to her house, gripping the little box as tightly as he could. He was thrilled she was home. He had missed her. A lot.
As he got to the door, Eliza was around the corner. As she pulled up on her drive, Wyatt's heart skipped a beat. She was home.
Eliza jumped out of her car, forgetting about all of her bags. Instead she ran to Wyatt. He lifted her in the air, and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Hey." she whispered softly in his ear.
"Hey." he whispered back.
"I missed you so much." she placed her head on his shoulder.
"I missed you too. I missed you more than anything." he spun around which made her laugh. Wyatt held her with one hand and brushed her hair back with the other. He then cradled the back of her head. He just couldn't believe it. He was dating a zombie, he had a non-wear wolf girlfriend-which his pack hated-and was about to spend the summer with the most amazing girl.
"You wanna go inside?" Eliza smiled as Wyatt put her back on the ground.
"Uh…yeah." Wyatt then remembered the box inside of his pocket, "Oh yeah, I got you something." He handed her the box. "I hope you like it." She opened it and her eyes lit up.
"Oh my God! I love it!" she cradled it in her hand, not wanting to damage it. Wyatt carefully took it out of her hand and put it around her neck. She couldn't stop smiling. She turned around to look at Wyatt. "I love you." she said gently.
Their eyes met, and the world seemed to fall away. Wyatt reached out, gently cupping her face in his hands. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a tentative, almost teasing kiss. Eliza's hands moved to his shoulders, pulling him closer as the kiss deepened. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in a bubble of shared desire and longing.
Wyatt's hands slid down to Eliza's waist, his touch sending shivers through her body. She responded by running her fingers through his hair, her kisses becoming more urgent and hungry. Wyatt's lips traveled from her mouth to her jawline, and then to her neck, eliciting a soft moan from Eliza.
The intensity of their connection grew, their bodies pressed tightly against each other. Wyatt's hands roamed over Eliza's back, pulling her even closer as if he couldn't get enough of her. Eliza's fingers traced the contours of his muscles, loving the way he felt under her touch.
They finally broke apart, breathing heavily. Eliza looked into Wyatt's dazzling brown eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.
Wyatt's hands moved to Eliza's waist once more, drawing her even closer. She looked up at him, her eyes wide and searching, finding the same longing reflected in his gaze.
Their lips met in a slow, deliberate kiss, a gentle exploration that quickly grew more intense. Wyatt's hands roamed up her back, tangling in her hair, while Eliza's fingers traced the contours of his jaw, his neck, memorizing the feel of him.
When they finally pulled away, they were both breathless, their foreheads resting together. Eliza smiled, her fingers playing with the collar of Wyatt's jacket. "I've been waiting for this for two months."
Wyatt chuckled softly, his breath warm against her skin. "Me too." Wyatt's eyes darkened with a mix of desire and determination. He kissed her again, deeper this time, as if trying to convey all the emotions he couldn't put into words.
The night stretched on, with Wyatt and Eliza losing themselves in each other, the world outside forgotten. They talked, laughed, and shared stories from when they were apart, their connection growing stronger with every passing moment.
"Wyatt, I've missed you. So much" Eliza said, playing with Wyatt's long hair, twirling it around her fingers.
"Me too. It was tough not seeing you everyday." the smiled as Eliza shut her eyes, falling asleep by the second. He closed his eyes too, reliving the past few hours.
