Snippet #2447325

"Are you quite obvious Elisa?"

"I guess I'll never be obvious enough," She told him with a grin on her face and nudged him playfully as they walked. It was just yesterday she had kissed him and when she was around him there was always some form of physical contact, whether that was hand holding or simply leaning against him. She had a hard time believing he didn't know her feelings, and instead assumed he simply didn't want that kind of relationship with her. Elisa couldn't blame him if that was the case, she was a lot to handle when he already had so much on his plate.

"You can take your time, she's only a little girl now so you have a long time to work things out. By that time you might have moved out and have a partner so it might be easier to explain. But what do I know eh?"

Elisa laughed quietly and shook her head. "Maybe I'll move out, but what fool could ever want a wreck like me?" And even on the off chance that someone did, her heart belonged to someone else. She didn't even know if she could trust another person around Jess, it was hard enough introducing her to Beck and she was in love with that boy.

"Jess clearly adores you, you know that right?"

Her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up. He probably had no idea how happy he had made her with a single sentence, but that was just what she needed to hear after everything. She loved that little girl so much it hurt. Even though her life was so dark, Jess was like a little ray of sunshine. She knew that Jess loved her, but sometimes she needed to be reassured and that was the first time she had ever been. "You don't know how much it means to hear that, Beck."

"What kind of dirty things does Elisa dream about?...I'm guessing something along the lines of what happened last night in the hospital right?"

The feel of his breath on her skin sent chills down her spine and reddened her cheeks, but it didn't stop her from replying in a similar manner. "If you want to, maybe you'll find out one day," She whispered, turning her head so that their lips were dangerously close to touching. Even she wasn't sure if this was an invitation or just more teasing and she didn't clarify either. Part of her hoped it drove him mad trying to figure it out.

But then, as it seemed to do often when they were together, the vibe between them changed from fun and laughs to almost sad and serious.

"It makes me so glad that I make you happy Elisa, and with out you in my life I know I would never be happy again. So please always stay at my side."

"I beg you."

"You don't have to beg me, Beck. As long as you'll have me around, I'll be with you." Her response was immediate and the love she had for him seemed to seep out in her words. She gave him a half smile and stopped their walk briefly so she could hug him. "If you can deal with me, that is. I'm kind of crazy." Elisa was teasing, though there were times when she questioned her sanity. When the darkest corners of her mind took over, leaving her in a puddle of tears, she felt crazy. Right now, though, she was happy.

"Yeah, you get to meet my crazy Dad. He's pretty chilled though so its nothing to worry about. I'm sorry you had to see my friend in such a state before. We can watch films or do anything you like"

It warmed her heart to see Beck so enthusiastic and she couldn't help but smile as he pulled her along. She was excited to meet someone in his family, to see a little bit further into his life and get to know him that much more. "Slow down! My legs can't take me as fast as yours. If you haven't noticed, I'm smaller than you! You're going to have to carry me at this rate." She said, laughing all the while.
