Elijah Dwayne Caulfield
Argh! I really hate that woman, or girl, since she's so stubborn as fuck. Well, I don't really care about her though. But she had the literal audacity and courage to confront us. I don't even want her in my life honestly, she ruined it all. I freaking hate her, that's all.
"Just don't mind her, okay?" I said to Alissandra which is still sitting on her chair and we're still in her classroom alone.
"Yeah, it's fine though. I'm all used to her imbecile side," she said as she stood up and grabbed her bag.
"You're already going home now right?"
"Yeah? Of course, it's getting late dummy." then she tied her hair up in a ponytail.
"Come on, I'll drive you home. We're neighbors, right?" I said then grabbed her bag and held it for her.
"Uhh - okayyy, if you insist," she said then we already went outside the room.
We're currently walking outside into the parking lot "There's my car." I said then pointed out my car.
She walked towards it but I ran to it first so that I could open the door for her.
"There you go," I said as I open the door for her.
"Thanks." then she went inside already.
I glimpsed at my watch and it's almost 7 PM now and it started to rain just now. I quickly opened the backseat door and put all of her stuff in there then I rushed to the other side and went inside the driver's seat.
"Oh, you - got a little wet..." she said as I went inside the car.
"Yeah, don't mind that. It's okay." then I wiped my face with my face towel then already accelerated the car and started driving home.
My suit is a lil' bit drenched, but It's not that bad. She's just sitting there quietly and watching the rain outside the window while we're on the road.
She's absolutely quiet, like me. I wonder if she's always overthinking stuff because I do. And that's the main reason for all the silence bound within me. Because there's literally no one to talk to since I'm living by myself in a big house alone so I end up overthinking about things. It sometimes makes me depressed and sometimes it's kind of relieving. My dad visits me only once a month now, unlike before when he used to visit me every single week. I guess I'm that old now. And now he just sends money for me which is bullshit. At this very point in my life, I already discovered myself that money really can't buy you happiness, it does in some certain ways but it's really different from the happiness that is caused by love and affection. But she... She came into my life. Just like a candle that gave light and hope in the darkness that surrounds me from the start and also gave warmth to my heart that has been frozen cold by the pain that I kept to myself since then. Because I am alone... But now? Not anymore.
A few moments later, we arrived in our street. And it's so dark everywhere. Is there a blackout?
"Aww, why is it so dark?" she said while looking outside. Then I parked on the other side of our street.
"Can you uhm.. stay here? For a sec? I'll just go check if my parents are inside." she asked politely, and she's somehow scared. I could tell just by looking at her face.
"Okay go ahead. I'm not going anywhere."
She grabbed her bag from the backseat to get her umbrella. Then she went outside and walked towards their house. I just looked at her and he's peeking inside their front door window. Then after a few seconds, she's already heading back here then went inside.
"Any luck?"
"Nah, looks like they're not home yet. And I don't know what to do. I'll end up waiting for them at our terrace." she folded her umbrella then facepalmed.
I still wanna hang out with her, honestly. And I just thought about letting her stay at my house for the moment. But I'd look like a total creep if I did that, maybe. But I guess there's no other choice, I have to help her.
"Uhhhh do you wanna.... stay in my house? In a lil' bit? While you wait for your parents??"
Ahhh, fuck!
That was so embarrassing! I avoided eye contact and just stared outside. What have I done? I just looked like a total creep for a sec.
"Okay sure." what?
"What? Are you sure?"
Her eyes squinted "Why are you asking me?" then placed her hand on her chest "You were the one who invited me and I'm down for it. I'd rather stay inside your house than to stay in this car or wait at our terrace while it rains outside though."
"Okay." then I parked my car in front of my house. And it's raining heavily now.
I grabbed her stuff from the back seat and I removed my coat and covered it to her bag and her other stuff.
"Wait, are you serious?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Are you seriously gonna cover your coat to my bag? It'll get soaked."
"Nah, I don't mind. It's half drenched anyway so, don't worry," then I held her stuff in my arms then went outside.
I quickly ran into the front door and it has a roof outside. I reached the doorstep and shit - my keys are in my pocket. I tried reaching it but I can't. I also can't handle her stuff with one hand because something might fall, and the ground is almost puddled so I can't put it down. She got out of the car and I waited for her to come here. Then she got here eventually.
"Why aren't you going in?" she asked.
"Yeah uhh - actually I can't reach my keys in my pocket hehe... Can you... go grab it for me please?"
"Oh okay." then she walked closer to me and put her hand inside my pocket.
I feel her hand in my pocket and into my leg, wandering around trying to find the key. And I just felt my... Ugh, not now, please, please, please.
I literally just felt her hand and fingers on my leg, how can I be turned on?!
I'm starting to feel it getting big down there.
Awww, come on!
Then she got it and started pulling it out - and shit! I felt her wrist touch it. And it got bigger!
God, I'm so dead.
And she got it out, finally. I hope she won't know what she just accidentally touched. Jeez.
"Lij? What's up with your - uhh... pants?" she asked and pointed at my pants. I looked at it and - shit! It has a bulge!
"Ahhh - yeah! It's nothing. I mean uhh... It's just my pants! Yeah, it's a bit loose and big so... Hehe," I said nervously then tried to hide it away and smiled awkwardly.
"Okayyy? Ah - here you go." she said "Oh, I'll just open it for ya," then walked closer to the door and opened it. I let her walk in first then I got inside as well.
"Gladly..."
I placed her stuff on the couch and removed my coat from it. She used her phone as a flashlight and sat on the couch nicely and wandered her eyes around the house with the help of the flashlight of her phone.
"Nice house," she said.
" Yeah, thanks. I'll just go change, I'll be back in a sec." I said then rushed upstairs to change. I opened my phone and used it as a flashlight then went into my room and changed my clothes. And the light in my room suddenly turned on, the electricity is back. And yeah, looks like I forgot to turn off the lights earlier. I went downstairs then turned on the lights.
"Oh it's ba- ooh wow, is that a chandelier?" then she stared at it in awe.
"Yeah, a mini one."
"It's so cool."
"Haha, thanks. By the way, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" I asked while drying up my hair with a towel.
"I'm not hungry yet, but I'd like some water though," she said while arranging her stuff.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Alissandra Cadence
Elijah went to the kitchen to go and get me some water. I'm just putting my other stuff in my bag, trying to put everything that my bag can hold, it got a little wet but everything's fine. Thanks to Elijah. I finished putting my stuff in my bag and luckily, I managed to put them all inside but it got a little heavy and bloated. I just looked around the house and it's just so nice and beautiful in every corner. It's all clean though, from the furniture and to the decorations. Everything seems so dustless. I wonder how he manages all these by himself even though he's working already. And just by staring at the things inside his house, I could tell that he likes Black. Since almost everything is black. The paint, the couch, the table, and also the tiles of the floor. It's pretty scary though, for me. And for a moment, I thought about something. Isn't Mr. Caulfield the one who bought and managed this house? Well, maybe.
There's also a black and white guitar that is hanging on his wall, he plays the guitar? Just by thinking about it, I bet he's very good at it.
"Here you go," he said as he gave me my water and caught me staring at his guitar.
"Do you play the guitar?" I asked then drank my water.
"I do. But that guitar is uhm... it's my mom's. Mine got broken not long ago, and it's my fault anyway." then he sat on the couch beside me. "I don't really use my mom's guitar. It's just hanging there since then. Dad brought it here as a gift for me on my 7th birthday. And it became so special to me since it reminds me of her. I wish I could see her play it though, that'd be so amazing."
"Ohhh, is that so? And what happened to yours?" I said then leaned on the couch.
"Well, I don't wanna be rude or anything. But I'd rather keep it to myself," then he also leaned on the couch with his legs open wide. I feel like he's really comfortable in that position.
"It's okay, I understand and I also don't wanna intrude anything."
He's currently wearing a fitted white shirt and black shorts. His muscles are popping from his fitted shirt. I don't even know how he put that on though, really. His outfit is pretty casual, but he's rocking it. And the fact that it's his "At-Home Outfit" makes him so cool. I looked at my phone and shocks, it's already 8 PM. I wonder where my parents went, I'm starting to get worried about them. But, are they worried about me for now? Gah. He saw me looked at the time and he also looked at the wall clock.
"Hey, it's already 8 PM. Aren't you hungry yet?"
"Yeah, I am a bit hungry now, to be honest." I gave him a half-smile.
"What do you wanna eat then?"
There's no time to be picky now and I don't even know what food he's able to cook for me so "Yeah I'll just have what you are also having."
"Oh okay, I just decided to have some sandwich for dinner though, is that okay?"
What? A sandwich? For dinner? This bodybuilder meal prep is going to kill me! But I guess I'll just go along with it. I love sandwiches but...dinner? Ahhh, gosh. It's like eating cereal at night...
"Yeah it's fine, and can I just have some eggs in it? I'm craving for that."
"Oh, sure. No problem." then he stood up. "I'll just go and prepare, I'll be back. Feel free to look around, but don't break anything," he said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Don't worry, you're good."
I stood up and looked around the living room. Then I went for a closer look at his mom's guitar, it's so cool. It also has a name printed on it, which is supposed to be his mother's name, Elyza Grant. Such a wonderful name. So his full name is probably Elijah Dwayne Grant Caulfield. Not bad at all. He's still in the kitchen making food and I just peeked through the window outside and looked at our house. The lights on our doorstep are on now, I guess they left just right after we came. Mom usually turns it on by 6 PM then leaves it overnight. I just went back to the couch and laid comfortably.
