Can We FaceTime?

I was packing up for my Paris trip. I leave for New York tomorrow and then I'm off to Paris. I could never be anymore excited.

💭So many things to pack.💭

Then my laptop was ringing.

💭Zander doesn't call me through my laptop. Who could be calling me?💭

It was Elliot calling me.

💭Wonder what he wants.💭

He greets me by saying something funny and I bury my face into my hands.

Elliot takes a picture and sends that to me.

I try my best not to blush but my cheeks get red.

💬So cute. -Elliott💬

"You know I do see you blushing right?" Elliott asks me.

I bite my lip. Then nod.

💬😒😒😒💬

Elliott laughs.

"So why did you call?" I ask Elliott.

"I wanted to ask you something." Elliott said.

"Come over." I said.

"You sure?" Elliott said.

I nod.

Elliott leaves his laptop behind.

I do the same.

In a minute I meet Elliott in my yard.

Elliott was wearing a tank top and basketball shorts.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey." Elliott said. "That's a long sweater you're wearing, can't tell if you're wearing shorts under."

💭He didn't.💭

I punch Elliott's arm.

"That hurt!" Elliott grunts.

"Good." I said.

"You didn't." Elliott said.

"You wanted to ask me something." I tell Elliott. "Ask away."

"I wanted to know if I had the chance to talk with you while you're away." Elliott said.

💭He's asking to chat with me while I'm away? That is huge. Rose, say yes! Do it! Do it right now! Now!💭

"Of course you can." I said. "I have to warn you about the time zones."

"What time is it now?" Elliott asks me.

I take out my phone and check. "8:50PM." I tell him.

"So it's almost 3:00AM in Paris." Elliott said. "I'm sure I can handle it."

💭He was right.💭

"Okay." I said.

"Got some news." Elliott said. "My band wants to do two covers with you."

"Wait, what?" I ask. "Your band?"

Elliott nods.

"Which songs?" I ask.

"Eyes Wide Open and Fight Song." Elliott said.

"I'll do Eyes Wide Open." I said. "Let's give Aurora Fight Song."

"If you say so." Elliott said. "By the way, your cover of Bad Blood was a total direct to your ex boyfriend, Vincent."

"Well, he deserves it." I said.
