Chapter 41: 41


    The next morning, I wake up earlier than usual. Elliot is still sleeping next to me. My eyes squint a little


    and it takes me a few moments before I am able to recognize where I was. I am no longer in paradise


    but I am home. I Look over to the side table, no phone. I look to the end of the bed, straight to the table


    underneath the tscreen. I slowly stand up and carefully walk up to the table. I was careful not to


    make too much sound. I look for my phone and pick it up. There are several messages. My parents still


    don’t know that I flew itst night. I take my phone with me and settle back next to Elliot. Elliot then


    moves and grunts a little as he stretches. I rest my back on the headboard of the bed and subtly watch


    Elliot toss and turn as he stretches.


    “Hey” Elliot says in sleepy voice


    I smile down at him “Hi” I greet him back. Elliot slowly sits up, stretches his arms out and yawns.


    “So” he starts to say, “what time should we get our puppy?” he asks


    I smile, “You’re really serious, aren’t you?”


    He yaws as he nods, “Yeah. Someone who could take care you even if I’m not here” he says. I sigh a


    happy sigh. I move closer to him and straddle him. I ce my long hair on my right shoulder. “


    “You better stop spoiling me” I whisper in his ear. I ce soft kisses on his neck to the back of his ear. I


    hear him grunt and sigh as I do this. His hands meet my hips and he motions it front and back. I knew


    he was insinuating something but I didn’t budge. I continue to kiss him and when I felt something


    harden underneath me, I stopped and reimed my ce on the bad next to him.


    “Why’d you stop?” he asks


    “Because something was starting to harden there” I look down on the sheets that were draped over his


    lower half. He rests his head against the wall where the headboard could no longer reach and he sighs.


    I ce a soft kiss on his cheek and decide to take his shirt that was on the floor. I wear it and step out


    of the bedroom for a moment. I walk over to the bedroom next to ours and get the luggage where our


    fresh clothes and bath kits are. I walk back in and Elliot I see Elliot standing in front of the tscreen,


    naked. I pull our luggage in and rets them on the floor. I open them one by one and pull out our things.


    “What do you want for breakfast?” he asks


    I look up at him whilst pilling up the clothes on the side, “Uhmmm maybe just a cup of hot chocte


    would be fine” I tell him. I continue pilling up the clothes, separating his from mine.


    “We need to drop by the Mac storeter, I need to buy a newptop. Do want to get a new one too?” he


    asks.


    “Yeah, sure” I tell him, ”anyway, school starts next week and I’m close to my thesis term so I need all


    the memory for myptop” I tell him.


    “Alright, you want to get a new phone too?” he asks waiving my iPhone 8. I roll my eyes and shake my


    head.


    “Hot chocte, please?” I ask him. He chuckles and ces the phone back on the deck. He leaves


    and doesn’t even bother to cover up. Hees back a few minutester with two giant mugs. He sits


    on the floor and hands one to me whilst he drinks from the other. “You’re sofortable in this house


    you don’t mind walking around naked” I tell him.


    “I don’t mind walking around naked in front of you” he says


    I roll my eyes, “Okay, where do I ce our clothes?” I ask him because from how I rememberst night


    I did not see any closet.


    His eyes point to the hallway, “Before you reach the bathroom there’s a wooden sliding door, it’s going


    to lead you to the his and hers closet” he tells me but immediately takes the plie of clothes from me and


    brings it there himself. I walk up behind him and I could see a bigger side to the bathroom. Elliot was


    right, there was a hidden gem to this house and it was the walk-in closet. There’s a his and hers side of


    the closet and in the middle, there’s a long chair and its primary function was to hold everything that


    you were toozy to ce back in the closet. Elliot’s closet was filled with his clothes whilst mine


    needed work.


    “We can go shop for clothes today” he tells me”


    I sigh and nod, “Yeah, I think that would be good”. I start walking into the close area more and I see a


    big make up vanity,plete with lights and various drawers. I look back at Elliot and he just smiles at


    me.


    “Elliot” I call out his name, “this is … I mean … Elliot---” I wasn’t able to find the right words to say.


    “Eli, I didn’t know how to stock up your things. I don’t know about these things worked so I just had to


    wait for you to uhhhh … you know” he tells me. I smile at him and run towards him. I wrap my arms


    around his neck and hug him so tight. Elliot’s arms are around my waist, his face buried in my neck.


    “Thank you” I whisper in his ear. I pull away and our foreheads meet. Elliot pulls may face and kisses

    me lightly.


    “Anything for you” he whispers.
