Chapter 15
The town looked nice from the car ride to the house. I was curious to see if the town was as happy as it
seemed from the quick ride. I smiled and darted up the stairs. I was actually excited to go outside of the
house for the first time. I quickly showered and ran mousse through my hair before it could get frizzy.
After pinning my bangs back with a simple clip. I brushed my teeth and went to find something suitable.
I remembered what Elias said about the town waiting to meet me. I thought it was odd, but I figured that NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
jeans and a t-shirt wouldn't suffice. I dug through the closet until I found the perfect sundress. It was
sort of stretchy with a small V-neck. The pattern was made up of Hawaiian flowers on a sky blue
background. It was tight until the waist and then it flowed to just above my knees. I paired it with white
converse. After I felt suitably dressed, I met Elias back in the living room. He looked over my attire
shocked. I suddenly felt self-conscious as I held my arms in front of my stomach and blushed.
"I'll go change," I muttered quickly, turning on my heels. Elias caught my arm gently and pulled me
closer to him.
"No... you look great, love. I just... I wasn't expecting a dress," he said softly. I blushed even more if that
was even possible. He looked at my face confused.
"I liked your freckles," he said. I shrugged, tossing my hair over my shoulder. Okay, so maybe I put on a
little makeup as well. Those townswomen really thought of everything.
"Ready?" I asked, trying to change the subject. He smirked and offered me his arm.
"You look beautiful, Cupcake," he said. I glared at him out of the corner of my eye.
"My name is not Cupcake," I glowered. He only chuckled as we walked out of the house.
"Sure thing, Cupcake," he teased. I groaned and threw my head back dramatically.
"Seriously Eli, my name isn't that hard. It's four letters," I argued. He only laughed. He full blown
laughed. The town was pretty much all within walking distance. The weather was just comfortable
enough to not be too cold or too hot. The people of the town greeted us as if we were royalty. These
people were deliriously happy.
Drugs.
Drugs were the only answer I had for how happy these people seemed. I would have to remember to
stay away from the water. We eventually ended up at a marketplace. It was huge. We entered from
outside where vendors were set up everywhere. There was everything from carpets to fresh fruits. The
inside was completed with a huge food court and tons of stores from Nike to Victoria's Secret to GNC.
They had everything. We looked around for a bit, and Elias even got me a few things before we settled
in the food court to eat. I chose a cute little Vietnamese restaurant while Elias went for Burger King. We
got our food and sat down to eat. I spun the noodles on my fork and took a bite. It was truly
delicious.
