Lee POV
Finishing up breakfast, I get a call from Rachel.
" Hey Rach, what's up?" I say into the phone.
" Nothing much. What are you doing?" Rachel asks.
" Nothing really, just finished eating breakfast. I made wonderful French toast. I say with a chuckle.
" Oh ok, so I'm a nothing?" Elle says to me, with a grin. I look back at her and raise one eyebrow.
" Oh your with Elle!" Rachel says " Put me on speaker!" I obey and set the phone down in between me and Elle.
" Hey Rach. " Elle says.
" Hi Elle! What do you guys say you meet me at the arcade in an hour?" Rachel asks.
" Yes, well be there!" Elle responds quickly
. She looks at me and notices me staring outside.
" right Lee?" Elle says kicking my leg under the table.
" Uh yeah... yes we'll be there." I say still not really paying attention to the conversation.
" ok great! Meet you there soon! Bye guys!" Rachel says.
" Bye see you soon!" Elle says.
" I love you Rach, bye!" I say. The moment those words comes out of my mouth I freeze.
" yeah.. ok bye" Rachel hangs up the phone.
I don't know what to do. We've never said those words before. Elle is just starting at me.
" I love you Rach?" She teases me.
" I don't even know why I said it! I never say it! We've never said it before! I just said it out of habit of saying it when I say goodbye to you, or my parents! Do I even love her? Does she even love me? She didn't say it back! She probably hates me. I ruined everything." I say and throw my head back to look at the ceiling.
" okok, calm down, and stop overthinking." Elle says, and grabs my hand. She always somehow makes me feel better.
" she probably does love you too, but she was just in shock, because she wasn't expecting you to say it.... now." Elles tone in voice changes from sweet and loving, to scolding me on how I did wrong. "Really Lee? Why now? You have to make it special and romantic. Not just I love you Rach over the phone! " Elle says.
She's mocking me. Two can play at that game.
" Ok, so like how you made a scene when confessing your love to Noah?" I say knowing it would annoy her.
" What..ever. Can we just go to my house so I can get ready and stuff?" Elle says trying to change the subject.
" Sure, but I'm driving." I say grabbing my keys. We get into my car, and drive off.
