Live A Little

Ch 29 : Like

Alora's p.o.v

"So, you like her?" I freeze in my place as I hear Marco's voice

"Yeah.." Another voice says, I slowly stand behind a pole wall and peek into the kitchen and see Marco and Elias standing and eating cake. It takes me a minute to realize what he said. Does he like someone?

"Who's the lucky girl?!?!" Marco exclaims excitedly, I could hear my heart drop as I wait for his response

"Not telling you" Elias sighs, taking a bite of his cake as Marco groans whining about how best friends should tell each other everything but I couldn't help feeling a bit hurt knowing that there was a beautiful girl that Elias was interested in and that could never be me.

"What are you doing?" I scream as I hear a small whisper in my ear, turning around I find Bruno looking at me and then trying to peek into the kitchen. Before he could see anything I grabbed his hand and dragged him towards my room.

"What were you doing there?" He questions

"I heard their conversations...Elias likes someone!" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air

"Okay... but why does that bother you?" He asks as I freeze

Why does this bother me so much? Why can't I handle that Elias likes someone?

"I- '' Clearing my throat, I sigh "I'm not bothered, I just...I just want to know who it is" I whisper wishing Bruno bought it but it seems as if he doesn't.

"Ok" He says as he gives me a side hug and walks out just as Elias enters and I was already getting lost in his eyes. A snap of fingers pulls me out of my thoughts

"Hello, Alora" He smiles showing his dimples as I can feel myself blushing

Calm down!

"H-Hi" I said after an awkward pause

"Wanna hang out?" He questions

"Huh?"

"I meant maybe we can hang out somewhere, I know this place" He says smiling

"Oh okay, I'll just inform dad" I smile, what better way to get information on who he fancies!

We walk downstairs and jog out the main door after telling dad even though he threw a tantrum.

"So, where is this place of yours" I ask as we continue walking

"Oh, it showed about an hour-" I cut him off

"What!!"

"On car" he adds as I stop walking

"Are you planning on killing me?" I question in all seriousness

"Omg, how did you know?" He asks innocently as I fight a smile making it's way to my face

"I'm joking, it's just up ahead" He smiles offering me his hand making me laugh as I held it, maybe for the last time

We reach a small area filled with chatter, warmth and shops. It looked beautiful like someone had put love in a street.

"You like it?" Elias smiles at my reaction

"I love it!" I smile back.

After exploring around a bit we found an old bookshop that I checked and of course I dragged Elias along. I felt at peace from everything that was going on, the hospital, the notes, it didn't really matter, not when I was with him. Ignoring the fact that he likes someone, I enjoy spending time with him, he makes me feel at peace. As we were exploring and trying different food, I came face to face with the one person I never expected to meet me here.
