Twelve- How to impress parental units

The next two weeks in the hospital ended up going by in a flash. I'm so tired from the amount of antibiotics they gave me if I'm being honest though.

As soon as the hospital released me, Eli gave me a ride to my house and made me pick up my things so I can stay at his house. His mom gave me the spare bedroom they had in the house.

Everyone was so nice and pampered me so much that my wounds are healing fast. Though I admit, I hate doing nothing.

I feel useless but Mrs. Edison always makes me feel better and tells me to get lots of rest while I heal up.

I have never felt happier in my life.

I know we are going to face hard times but it helps having Eli and his family to support me.

I've never had this much support.

It makes me look forward to the future.

Eli and I future.

Our future.

Together.

It's been about 6 months since the whole incident with my parents.

I stopped going to college and started going to a trade school of my choice.

An art school.

I still live at the Edison's house; I work around the house and help anyways I can. I'm forever grateful for the support.

Eli's dad is finally returning home from his long business trip.

Elijah and I are surprising him with dinner tonight!

"ALI! Come take a look at this!" Eli screams from across the store. I sprint down putting my finger over my lips "Shhhh everyone heard that stupid."

He just laughs and shows me the beef raw tongue incased in the package.

"Gross Eli, we are not getting that."

"Why not?" He looks at me with pleaded eyes.

"Because it's gross and two, we don't know how to cook that! What if we mess up? It's the first time I'm meeting your dad as a girlfriend, and I want it to be right! I'm nervous, ok?"

He laughs and grabs his stomach trying to hold in his laughter. "Ali, you're going to be fine, ok? He already knows you and likes you. Don't worry I was only just kidding about the beef tongue…. Unless?"

"No." I grab pre-diced chicken and throw it in our shopping cart.

We exit the store and drive home to cook it.

We surprisingly get home pretty fast and start cooking.

By the time 6:30 rolls around I can feel my stomach drop with nerves.

I mean what if he doesn't like me?

Or what if he thinks I'm not good enough for his son?

"Princess it's going to be ok," he holds my hand as we sit side by side waiting for him to walk through the door.

"I hope so." I look at him and give a small smile.

A few minutes later I heard the door jiggle and my eyes bolt towards the door. Out comes a smaller man about five foot six in height. He has a bony build, brown hair with a very straight posture.

I've only met him a few times very briefly. I get up and go to shake his hand

"Nice to meet you I'm Ali Maxwell, I'm dating your sons-"

DID I JUST SAY SONS?!?

"I MEAN SON! Eli! Only Eli not both I mean I like Alex but not like that more like he's my best friend, but I really love Eli and …. I am going to be quite now."

I feel my face flush red in embarrassment. I can't believe I made that mistake.

I look over to see his reaction but all I see is his hand over his mouth trying to hold in his laughter. Tears lightly roll off his cheeks.

"Ha-ha yes, I know your dating only Elijah, that was too funny! Don't worry about it. It's very nice to meet you officially."

"The pleasure is all mine sir!" I say a bit too loud.

"You can just call me David." He smiles and sits down at the table.

I smile a bit before getting the food from the kitchen.

I place the food on the table and let everyone eat my Spanish style chicken with bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, and maybe some olive oil. It was a huge help having Elijah cut the veggies.

As soon as David takes a bite, he's eyes go straight for me.

Oh my god, is it bad?

I'm nervous.

"This is amazing!! Oh my god Ali! Great job!"

"Oh no, it was me and Elijah that cooked it together. I'm really happy you like it!"

I smile feeling a tad accomplished.

The rest of the meal went smoothly, we talked and laugh and eventually put away dinner.

Afterwards I went to my room to go to bed. It feels weird living with your boyfriend family. I feel like I have to keep it PG.

I know we are dating but I don't wanna be disrespectful.

But … I want Eli right now...

KNOK KNOCK KNOCK.

I hear at the door and then a small whisper goes "Ali it's me."

Recognizing Eli's voice I open the door and let him in. He locks the door behind us.

My face immediately blushes as so many unholy thoughts pass through my mind.

Keep it together Ali.

"Is everything ok?" I look at him.

"Yeah everything's fine... I just wanted to be with you." he sits on my bed and pulls me on his lap facing him.

My face heats up and I lean in to kiss him.

Oh god his lips feel so soft.

I look at him as I pull away. I feel his hand grab the back of my neck and he pulls my face so close to his, kissing distance.

"Ali… I'm gonna go rough is that ok?"

"Y-yeah," my brain answered for me before I feel his lips entangle with mine. His tongue pushes threw my lips and explored my mouth tasting me. My body shivers in delight and I feel his hand grab my hair yanking my head back and he makes his way down my neck.

"E-Eli." I whisper.

I feel his teeth bite into my neck and a moan escapes my lips.

My face is burning hot with both embarrassment and pleasure.

God it feels so good.

"D-don't stop!" I look at him and his eyes look like a beast deprived of a meal.

He waste no time in unbuttoning my shirt, kissing and making hickies down my neck.

I feel him sucking the part where he bit me.

"Princess you taste delicious." he growled lightly.

He flings me on to the bed and looks at me, his meal.

"Ali.. if you don't want this hit me."

"E-" he doesn't even let me finish before I feel his tongue down my throat and I start losing my reasoning.

It feels amazing

My body feels so hot and my heart feels so full.

Why did I wanna stop again?

I hear him moan in my ear and oh god it's so sexy.

I wanna hear more of it

"E-Eli."

knock. Knock.

God damn it.

"Ali it's me Alex, is Eli with you?"

Eli recoils at the sound of his brother.

The mood is totally lost now…

"Yeah he's here one second."

I button up my shirt fast and open the door.

"Come in."

"No it's fine I just need to talk to Eli, have a good night Ali." he smiles at me with a little smirk in a way that I know he knows he killed the mood. I fake a punch to his stomach jokingly and pout a bit looking at his face.

He just laughs at me and pats my head.

Eli walks out the door and I close it again and slump in the bed where our warmth once was.
