valerie casablancas x elijah hewson
chapter seventeen || 🎬🤍🦢

❝ used to lie to your face 20 times in a day! ❞

     valerie still didn't know what to think. her stomach ached as she watched elijah. hair over his forehead, smile etched on his lips. her stomach did flips.

    she bit the skin on her lips and turned her back to him. she was starting to hate herself because of this. it was never supposed to drag on like this. she thought after he went home with her that one night that would be the end of it, but no. here he was standing in her kitchen, making them dinner.

    she didn't know what to think. they had never talked about what was going on between them. her heart was in it. fully now. every time she looked at him it would start to beat faster than before and every time his name flashed across her phone she would be smiling before she could even catch what was happening.

    it was safe to say, valerie casablancas was too far gone.

    it was nearing the end of april and valerie was sure this would have ended in february, but here, two months later she couldn't help but have these feelings for him.

    little did she know, he was in the exact same situation.

he wasn't an idiot. he knew her track record and it terrified him. he had heard stories that she started dating people and then immediately broke up with that when she realised they loved her. he didn't want her to do that. so, he didn't make a move.

elijah didn't ask her out, he kept doing exactly what they had been doing for the past two months. he wasn't sure how much longer he had until she inevitably pushed him away, so he was making the most of it.

he was stood in her kitchen making her dinner. it wasn't like he liked to cook, but he knew she didn't either, therefore, he took one for the team.

when he noticed she had her back to him, he didn't know what to do. he didn't wanna push her, and he didn't. he left her to stand there.

valerie was very sure if he left her alone with a knife it would be in her neck in point five seconds.

she really liked him. sure, she liked the others she left the second they reciprocated feelings towards, but this was different. she didn't know why, but it was.

she turned back to look at him, internally crying when their eyes met and she couldn't turn back around.

"what's going on up there?" he asked, pointing to her head, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

she shrugged, "nothing you have to worry about."

    was that the first lie she ever told him? he was sure of it.

    he narrowed his eyes at her, "are you sure?" he asked, begging her to say something that was true.

    "100%" the second her voice broke, he knew.

    this was completely fucked.
