| I sat down at the old bench and looked down at ground. I kicked some grey stones out in the water, and sweared to my self. I don`t know for how long I sat there before Elijah came over to me. He sat down, right next to me. He sat so close, that I could feel the heath from his body. I noticed that he was looking at me, so I turned against him and smiled. I didn`t want to like him, but he was so adorable! His clear blue eyes smiled at me. He dragged his breath, and opened his mouth, preparing to say something. But not a word came out. So I started the conversation by asking him if he had feelings for Erin. He spend some time thinking, before he answered; "I don`t know... I have to admit that I do like her, but it`s not like I`m in love with her. My feelings aren`t that strong." He took a break, before he continued. "That`s what make this whole situation so confusing. I`m not sure what or who I want." I looked him deep into his eyes, and saw that "sorry" almost was written in his face. So I asked him, " Elijah, why do you feel so guilty? You haven`t done anything wrong..." He looked at me. "Acctually, I don`t know why. I hate my self for fooling both you, Erin, and my self." I looked at him and asked him to explain. " cause I don`t like Erin that much. I shouldn`t have kissed her. And I like you much more than as a friend. And most important, I keep fooling my self! I don`t know for sure what I want, so I just grab my first opportunity. And the whole mess will probably end up with that neither you nor Erin want me!" "I don`t hate you Elijah," I said. "And I know that Erin don`t hate you either! But I`m afraid you have to make a chioce. Pick Erin, me, or none of us. I think it will be the easiest and smartest thing to..." He looked down at his shoes, while he said; "Christi, I can`t choose! I mean, if I think about for a while, I`ll probably come to a decition, but.. I don`t know if I want to choose. And don`t come here and tell me that if I chose Erin; our friendship wont be the same, or the other way around?" "I guess you`re right.." I said. "But, I have to ask-when did you "get a thing" for me?" Elijah said and smiled. I laughed. "I don`t know. I guess it all started when you came to the stocking with Peter and Daryll. Don`t be mad, Elijah, but the first hours I hated you! You were on my nerves all the time, but all of a sudden you were on my mind instead." He laughed, "Well, my first impression of you wasn`t the best either. You seemed so mad and shallow!" "But, God, you almost sat on me!" I said. He laughed his cute and gigglig laughter. "I just wanted to get to know you... But you totally ignored me. I was the one that should have been mad at you, after what I have been through because of you!" "No, no, no!" I said and smiled. But I knew it was true. He laid his arm around my shoulder and looked at me. We got one of the famous "moments", and all of a sudden I was kissing him! KEEP ON READING BACK HOME INDEX |
