My childhood best friend is a bad boy

Chapter fourteen - Going home

Ellie's POV:

I woke up wrapped in Scott's arms. What happened last night? That party didn't go as planned. At least for me. If Scott hadn't appeared, who knows what was going to happen with me. I'm glad that he managed to hear me through this loud noise. I lightly kiss his cheek, which made him slime. I wonder what he is dreaming. 

I carefully get up and went into the bathroom. I got ready quickly and went to make breakfast. Pancakes sound good. I made a couple of them when I felt hands wrapped around me, coming with a cheek kiss. I won't lie that this feels good, but again Scott is only my best friend. Nothing more. 

- Look who decides to get up. It was about time. 

- The delicious smell woke me up. Also, if you leave me alone in bed again, you'll get a punishment. 

- And what it'll be? I don't see anything wrong with that. You wake up alone every day. 

- Yes, but I am here with you and rule number one is to watch you. What if something has happened while I was sleeping?

- But it didn't. Stop acting like a babysitter, go get ready and come for breakfast. 

- What's wrong with me staying in my PJs?

- Nothing, but if you get chocolate all over it, I won't clean it.

- Fine, I'll do it, but don't start eating without me or I'll get mad. 

- Then be quick. I won't eat cold pancakes. 

With that, he gets upstairs. Scott is such a kid sometimes. Not like I am not. That's why we are friends. Before we were doing many things together. Now it's different. He is another person with different characters. Moreover, I don't think that his friends will approve of what we are doing. Like this is not his style anymore. 

- I am here. Give me some food. I am one very hungry boy. 

- And I am one very hungry girl. Let's eat. Do you want chocolate?

- What is a pancake without chocolate?

I get some chocolate from the fridge and sit down. We ate peacefully. No one said a single word. Scott didn't look very happy. He doesn't like the food or there is something else? I don't want to sound curious, but I am his best friend. He knows that he can tell me everything. 

- Scott, are you ok? You are very quiet. 

- I'm fine. Nice breakfast. You are a very good cooker. 

- Thanks. Are you sure that there isn't anything? You know you can tell me. I won't tell anyone. 

- You were right, you shouldn't have come to the party. I am sorry that I made you come. 

- Hey, it's not your fault. That could happen to anyone. Don't think about it and get another pancake before they finish. 

- Yes, but I was supposed to watch you and I failed. - he nodded his head

I hate when he talks like that. It's not his fault. Who knew that this will happen? Moreover, he did what he had to as a best friend, so I don't see why else he is feeling like that. I get my chair and sit next to him. I kissed his cheek and gave him a hug. 

- It's not your fault, ok? I want to eat now, so will you stop distracting me. - I  chuckled

- Ok, ok, I'm sorry. I won't talk about this anymore. 

- That's what I wanted to hear. What do you want us to do after breakfast? Any ideas?

- We can go out or chill at home. It's up to you. 

- You choose since it's your last day here. 

- Who said that it's my last day? We'll see each other tomorrow. 

- I mean in this house, you stupid. I know that I'll see you tomorrow. Do I have any other choice?

- You don't want to know. 

We ate our breakfast and went upstairs. The plan was we to go outside for a while and then to come here for lunch or maybe we can outside as well. I was about to change the clothes which I picked when Scott take them away and threw them on the bed. What now?

- Why did you do that? I need to change if we'll go outside. 

- Yes, but not with that. Let me pick your clothes. 

Never leave a boy to pick your clothes. Scott gave me a light pink tank top, some purple shorts, and sneakers. There is no way that I'll go outside like that. What from the "I don't want to show myself" part he didn't understand. 

- There is no way that I am going outside like that.

- Why? Put these clothes on and if you still don't like them, you can choose something else. 

- Fine, but I'm sure that this is not for me. 

I went into the bathroom to change. I know that Scott is my best friend, but I still don't feel very comfortable changing in front of someone else. I don't even do it in front of my mom. When I was ready, I walked out. His eyes immediately landed on me. 

- I told you that I don't look good in these clothes. I will change. 

- You don't look good. You look very cute. Are you ready to go? 

- No, I told you that I won't go like that. Let me change really quickly.

I walk to my wardrobe, but before I could pick whatever is it, Scott came, shuts its door, and pinned me on it. I tried to avoid his eyes, but I couldn't. In the moment I saw them, I got lost. I have no idea why he did this, but I'm sure that I'm not the first one with who is doing it. He was looking straight into me.

- You no need to change, understood? I like these clothes on you and this is how you'll go out.

I just nodded. I couldn't say anything else. I felt frozen. Scott has never done something like this with me. There is no escaping from this. He leaned and kissed my cheek again. This is happening way too often. Not like I mind, but I don't want it to turn into something else. I like our friendship and I prefer to keep it the way it is. 

- Ellie, can we go now? We can eat outside if you don't mind. 

- Yes, there is no problem. 

Scott grabbed my hand and we walked out. I still can't understand what just happened. What was that for and why did it affect me like that? Probably, because no one else has done this to me. I left completely frozen, I couldn't say a single word. I won't let this happen again. 

We walked around the town until it's time for lunch. Later we found one nice diner and went there. I ordered just a salad and Scott get fried chicken with some French fries. I didn't say anything and just looked at him. In the moment he looked back, I nodded my head. Why I can't stop thinking about it? 

- Ellie, are you ok? You look a bit pale. Did something happen?

- What? No, I am fine. Just thinking of something. 

- And what is it? Will you share with me? It must be very important since it's taking all of your attention which usually belongs to me. - he chuckled at the end

- It's nothing important. You don't need to worry. 

- Ellie, you look fine. Stop worrying about your appearance. I wanted you to get out of your comfort zone, nothing more. 

- But I liked myself the way I looked. Didn't you like it as well?

- Of course that I did, but I want you to see that it doesn't hurt sometimes to change. I really meant it when I said that you look cute. Usually, I don't use this word on girls, but since you are my best friend, I will. 

- And how do you describe a girl? 

- Usually, I use words like hot. You can imagine the rest. 

- Yeah, I don't want to, thank you very much. 

This made him chuckle. I'm glad that for me Scott doesn't think the same way as the other girls. That means that he cares about me even a little. Well, I hope so, but if he didn't, he wasn't going to save me yesterday. 

After our lunch, we went home. Mom and dad are coming soon. We decide to watch a movie. This will be the last thing that we'll do before he has to go home.

- Do you have to go home? I mean one more night won't hurt you. - I chuckled

- So you liked my company, huh? Well, I have to. If your parents go somewhere again, we can do another one or if my parents are gone, I gladly would invite you to come. 

- And I gladly will accept. Thank you for staying with me this weekend. 

- No problem. I love looking after you. I feel you like my little sister. Don't worry Ellie, I won't let anything happen to you again. 

- I know. You are my shield. 

After an hour, my parents came home. Scott went to get his things ready. It feels sad that he has to go home. I know that we'll see each other tomorrow, but I kind of get used to having him around the last two days. How he said one day we could do this again. 

- Ellie, how was the weekend with Scott? Did anything interesting happen? - mom asked

I decide to keep to myself what happened at the party. They don't need to know about it. 

- No, we watched movies and ate a lot of food. After breakfast, we walked around the town for a while. 

- Ok, I am ready to go. It was nice to spend the weekend here. Bye miss and mister Jones. 

- I will send you to the door. 

I just wanted to talk with him before he goes. Usually, I am not that sentimental, but today I feel way too much. 

- Well that was it. Time flew really fast. It was like yesterday when you came here. 

- Ellie, you know that I'm not going forever, right? - he chuckled

- I know, but I get used to having you around. It had been a long time since the last time we did this. 

I don't want to cry, but I feel the need to do it. Scott pulled me close for a tight hug. He kissed the top of my head and carefully wiped my tears. I hate to cry in front of him, but sometimes I can't control it. 

- I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow, ok? Bye Ellie. - he kissed my cheek and left

I stayed in front of the door watching him walk away. When I couldn't see him anymore, I walked inside, straight to my room. I don't know why, but I feel like something has been taken away from me. It's only couple of hours until I see him again, but they feel like days. Maybe if I watch something, it'll make the time pass faster. I'll see you soon Scott. Very soon.
