Story: When Ellie Falls in Love
“Ugh,” Charlie sighed the sigh that Sadie was also feeling. “That means a wholedayof Delaney Baxter shopping.”
“And justwhatis wrong with that?” Delaney was teasing; Sadie could see it in her eyes. Charlie leaned toward her as she playfully booped Delaney’s nose.
“Nothing, my love.”
Sadie watched as they kissed, smiling happily to herself that her mom was finally truly happy again. Charlie had been the best thing to happen to her mom. Well, after Sadie. At least that’s what Delaney always told them. But Delaney and Charlie belonged together. Anyone with two brain cells could see that.
As they finished their dinner, Sadie retreated upstairs to her room. She quickly took a shower before changing into her pajamas. Or, well, into a clean pair of basketball shorts and a Moonflower Cove High School softball T-shirt. Sadie plopped down on her bed and picked up the book she was currently reading.
She was barely a few chapters into it when she heard a tap on her bedroom window. Tossing the book to the side, Sadie scampered off the bed and went to the window. Ellie’s grinning face was on the other side which made Sadie insanely happy. Opening the window, Sadie smiled at Ellie.
“Hi, Flynn.”
“Hi, Rapunzel.” Ellie leaned in as she kissed Sadie. There was something insanely hot about kissing Ellie that way. Sadie gently caressed her cheek as she leaned against the window.
“Okay,” a voice that was vaguely familiar to Sadie startled her as she pulled away from Ellie and looked toward the person climbing the trellis. “Pascal is here.”
“Dylan’s here, too.”
“I noticed.”
Chuckling, Sadie motioned for Ellie to move out of her way as she stepped onto the roof. Ellie tenderly took her hand, making sure she didn’t fall as they sat. Sadie couldn’t help but notice the short shorts Ellie was wearing, which showed off her tanned legs beautifully. Along with the V-neck tank top she was wearing, Sadie was having a hard time remembering that Dylan was sitting just a few feet away from her on the other side of Ellie.
Sadie knew Dylan from school, but the two weren’t friends. Hell, aside from being lab partners in biology last year, Sadie couldn’t remember a time she’d talked to Dylan. But she knew Dylan was Ellie’s best friend, so she needed to get to know her. All Sadie knew so far about Dylan was that she was a blonde who was in theater with Ellie. And that her mom was a doctor and was gay.
“You’ve met Dylan, right?”
“You probably should have clarified that before I climbed onto her roof.” Dylan had the same quick wit as Ellie. She held her hand out to Sadie, who took it. “Nice to see you again, partner.”
“Partner?” Ellie arched an eyebrow at Dylan.
“We were lab partners last year.”
“So, we do know each other,” Sadie added.
Ellie giggled. “Well, that’s good.”
“Although why she’s on my roof, I don’t know.”
“Honestly, same.” Dylan tossed her arms up and laughed. “We went to your front door, your mom said you were in your room, and Ellie said we’d go up the back way. I thought there would bestairsor something.”
“Nope, just the trellis,” Sadie winked at Ellie. “It’s hot when Ellie climbs it.”
“You know it.” Leaning in, Ellie placed a kiss on Sadie’s lips. “I hope it’s okay we came up here.”
“Always.”
“I promise next time I’ll come alone.”
“Yeah, you will, because my ass isn’t climbing up the side of a house again.” Dylan looked off the side of the roof as she pulled her knees closer to her body. “I hope we’re going down through the house.”
“You can.”
“Thanks.”
“Obviously your lack of a sense of adventure didn’t come from your mom’s side.”
“Nope. My donor is an accountant and yours broke his arm while BASE jumping.”
