After less than two minutes, Ellie was on the beach.
She is sitting on the warm and soft sand with her shoes next to her. Ellie's chin is resting on her knees and she is drawing random shapes in the sand with her finger while thinking how Jasper didn't need much time to forget about what they talked about. How much was she inside? Few minutes? Five maybe? And he was back to flirting. So much for setting expectations and showing sincerity.
She snorted. Yeah, right… he probably uses words 'I like you' like it's some kind of greeting. Who knows how many times he said those words and to how many girls… and for a moment, she thought that she is special.
A shadow appeared, blocking her sun. Ellie assumed that someone is passing by and didn't look up.
"Why do you have a habit of leaving me without saying anything?", Jasper's voice startled her.
Ellie didn't respond. The only sign that she heard him was that her hand stopped moving.
