Elle spent the whole week working with Theo too who stole glances at her every chance he got.As for Lizzie, her album was the talk of the whole nation when it was released and her fans enjoyed the songs on it.
As usual, Lizzie and Theo met at the house and did their thing then after parted ways.On Saturday, Elle went to the gym and started exercising, but Theo was there with Shane, his bestfriend and also the owner of the gym.
Shane….Damn! Who is that hot smoke?
Theo looked where Shane was referring to and saw Elle, he smiled on seeing.
Shane….What now? You want her too? Let me go and shoot my shot.
Theo….Not that, I know her, she is Elle Young.
Shane….Elle Young? Ohhh, the popular model? No shit dude! Isn't her agency the one your working for currently?
Theo….Thats right my man.
Shane….Never thought I'd be this attracted to a blonde girl, now I understand the hype.
Theo….She's a real deal.I should go and say hi.
He approached her, she was suprised to see him as her eyes landed on his masculine arms, she looked away quickly and smiled it off.
Theo….Didn't know you hit the gym.
Elle….Not really, I have machines at home but I decided to use the outside gym today.
Theo….Good for you
Elle….Now I've realised that I've never seen you in such clothes, your always wear long sleeved shirts and trousers.
Theo….Right! But this is me on a not busy day.
Elle….I see, not bad.I mean….
Theo….I will take that as a compliment.So, does this mean your only here for today?
Elle….I dont know, can't confirm that yet.
Theo….Okay, later.
He went back to Shane and he gave him a goofy look.
Theo….Whats with you? Don't do that.
Shane….Dont even deny it, you have a on crush her, I saw you looking in her eyes.Your not one to hold eye contact with girls that long.
Theo….I just went there for just one minute and your here analysing things that could happen in an hour, stop it Shane.
Shane….Since your indecisive, I will help you out.
Theo….What are you going to do? Don't!
He didnt care and walked straight up to Elle.
Shane….Sorry to bother you, am Shane.
Elle….Okay, am…Elle…
Shane….By the way this is my gym and I wanted to ask if you wanna join is for breakfast.
Elle….Why? Do you tell that to every newcomer here?
Shane….No, because Theo is my friend and he said you guys work together.
Elle….Oh, Theo.Thanks but I wanna go home and rest, thanks again.
Shane….Sure, no problem.
He went back to Theo who went to hide in his office not to be embarrassed infront of Elle.
Shane….Well…
Theo….Why would you do that? She now thinks I sent you and yet I have to face her on Monday.
Shane….Who cares? She's not a kid and I doubt that shes taken.
Theo….She's obviously taken.
Shane….No way, if she had a guy, he never shouldve allowed her to come to the gym alone.
Theo….Now your messing with my head, enough.
Shane didnt stop teasing him until he left.Elle went and bought food then headed to her apartment.She found Ruben opening the door to enter his home and she called him.
Ruben….Oh, hi Elle, its been awhile since I last saw you.
Elle….Are you fine? You look sad.
Ruben….Fuck! I thought i hid my emotions well.Can we talk? My brother isn't home and i really want someone to talk to, if you dont mind? Sorry…I shouldn't have said that, I….
Elle….Hey, calm down first.Am not busy and also, I have no friends and no one is coming over, so, lets chat and pass time.
She opened her door and they went inside.She gave him coffee and a snack.
Ruben….Thanks Elle.
Elle….So, what's going on? I might not help but you know the saying, a problem shared is half solved.
Ruben….Its kinda dumb.
Elle….We all have some dumb shit going on in life, so dont worry i wont judge you.
Ruben….Okay, I have a huge crush on this girl at school and shes really cute but I never said anything.
Elle….Is that why your sad?
Ruben….I just heard rumors that shes dating someone from school and it just ruined my day.
Elle….Teenage love is so confusing and dumb, but worth it.Been there myself, and since its a rumor, I suggest that you should approach her and talk to her.We girls like it when a guy makes the first move.She might even be into you, your a handsome boy and your attractive, your just not confident.So tell me, whats her name?
Ruben….Blue.
Elle….For real? Thats a cute name, I bet shes pretty.
Ruben….She really is, i follow her on Instagram, let me show you her pics.
He showed her Blue's pics.
Elle….Okay, i feel ya, shes really pretty.Now I understand why you hesitate, if I were a boy, I would also be scared to approach a hot girl.But it doesn't matter, you have to step up and stop with that, your a man so go shoot your shot, am right behind you, okay?
Ruben….Thanks Elle, your such a nice person and am gonna take your advise, I will let you know if anything happens.But…what do I say to her?
Elle….Let's see….How about you throw a party and invite your friends, and her too? If your brother wont mind.
Ruben….He wont mind, he asks me himself to throw parties but am a nerd at school.
Elle….A nerd? Thats news to me, that has to change, pretty boys can't be nerds, not my neighbor, I refuse that.Now get your phone and tell everyone that your having a party tonight, I will help you organise everything.
Ruben….Okay, I should do that, but then…what?
Elle….Your so dull about this, I need to see your brother and ask him why his never home, his supposed to teach you all that.But I got you.So when you see her, go to her and ask to dance with her, then maybe tell her hair is perfect or something, she will blush, thats when you know you've got her, it will be enough sign that shes interested.And without wasting time, tell her that you have a crush on her.
Ruben….Wont it be soon?
Elle….Who cares? There is no right timing in love, just speak your mind.
Ruben….Okay, i will try my best.Wanna come with me for shopping?
Elle….I haven't showered, but let's go.
She went with him wearing a mask to avoid rumors, they picked everything needed for the party and Elle insisted on paying for him, after, they went back home.
Ruben….Thanks alot Elle.
Elle….No problem, but why does your brother leave his car here?
Ruben….Its mine, not his.
Elle….Its yours?
Ruben….Yeah, my brother gifted it to me when I started college.
Elle….Am jealous that I dont have one myself, am happy that he spoils you, atleast his not neglectful like I thought.
Right then, she got a call from Axel asking her to get ready as his on his way to pick her up to go and visit their mum Nara.
Elle….Am so sorry Ruby, I almost forgot that I had plans today.
Ruben….Ruby? Only my brother calls me that, I like it from you too.Its fine, my friends are coming to help me prepare everything so thanks, I really do appreciate your kindness Elle.
Elle….Any time Ruby, later.
They parted ways and she got ready, Axel picked her up later and they visited Nara and her boyfriend too.After dinner, they went to the beach and sat in the sand.
Axel….This beach holds most of our memories.
Elle….Right! I miss it sometimes.
Axel….I want to say something.
Elle….What is it? Say it before I start worrying.
Axel….Zara is here in NewYork and we met.
Elle….What??? When did she come back? Why did you meet her?
Axel….She didnt even spend that much in Russia, just a month and she came back.She called me and we met, she apologised and all that, but I didnt say much to her and I later left.
Elle….Whats with her? Girl is messed up in the head for real, she needs therapy like right now.Its been over three years now and shes been around in the city but then now she apologises?
Axel….Thats life, but i want to live a quiet life and dont be in any relationships because I can't handle that shit again.
Elle….Am sorry that you got hurt and kept it all to yourself, am not good at comforting, am I?
Axel….Ofcourse your good at comforting, because honestly whenever I saw you smiling, teasing me, making jokes about my pain, it made me happy inside because I knew that they all can leave me, but you will always be here and mum.
Elle….Aw, I love you twin.
Axel….I love you too.
He drove her back to home and he went to his house too.Elle entered the elevator and went up to her penthouse, she looked at Ruben's door.
Elle….Hope his having fun with his friends.
She went inside and sipped some wine while scrolling on her phone, until she got tired and slept.On Sunday morning, she was woken up by her doorbell, she got up and opened the door, it was Ruben with a cake in his hands.
Ruben….Good morning Elle, how was your night?
Elle….Morning Ruby, I just woke up, you know?
Ruben….Sorry, I can come back later.
Elle….Its fine, come inside and sit down as I shower first.
Ruben….Okay.
She let him inside and went to clean up, after, she made tea for both of them.
Ruben….Thanks.
Elle….Am guessing that cake is mine and things went well yesterday, right?
Ruben….Where do I start?
Elle….The kissing part?
Ruben….Hahahaha…how did you know?
Elle….Wait..for real? You kissed her? Ruby, you better start talking, am not gonna keep guessing the good tea.
Ruben….Okay, okay, okay.So she came and we talked and she said it first, that am hot and that she likes me and that she saw yesterday party invitation as a chance to speak her mind.
Elle….NO WAY! That is frigging unbelievable!
Ruben….I know, right?
Elle….Please tell me that you didnt feel butterflies in your stomach?
Ruben….I felt my heart racing and I just went for it, I kissed her.
Elle….Wow! Finally! Your now on top of your game, am so happy for you.But you better be nice to her, i hate men mistreating my sweet girls.
Ruben….I wont hurt her, I promise.But Elle…
Elle….Yes?
Ruben….How come you dont have friends at all?
Elle….Why?
Ruben….Your so sweet and kind, I just wanna be your friend forever.Your pretty yet your kind and so down to earth, your one of a kind.
Elle….Aw! I didnt know that you see me in that angle, thanks for saying that and thanks for the cake but its too big for me.Also, I dont have friends because am an introvert like you, maybe thats why we clicked right away.And also, I enjoy being alone most of the time, but I have a twin brother, my bestie, but his always busy since we are now adults and have things to do.
Ruben….We are indeed the same.My brother too, his always busy and we used to have time to hung out back then, but not anymore.Am glad I met you.
Elle….Same here, wanna play games this early morning?
Ruby….Hell yeah!
