You've Changed Me.

After that encounter on Thursday, I've been cleaning my apartment spotless. And it is now Sunday, the day I have to pick up Elliot from his empty home.

"Man Ruet," Grayson coughed. I looked up from cleaning and saw him waving a hand over his face, and a small dust cloud. "How often do you clean your room?"

I laughed at him. I shoved the red cups on my nightstand into a small plastic bag. "Uh, this is the first time since I was ten." Grayson made a disgusted face and I laughed at him.

"Are you really with Elliot? Your small brain isn't lying to you?" He chuckled. I turned around and I chucked my pillow at him. "Hey! I'm just saying."

"Whatever. And yes I'm with him. And you know what? You could use him to get close with Janeta again." I told him, grabbing the random trash that was next to my bed.

"Yeah. Because Janeta is going to trust me again because I cheated on her." I could practically hear him roll his eyes. I shrugged.

"You never know, man. You never know." I heard him curse and I laughed.

"What time are we suppose to go pick up Elliot anyway?"

I tied the plastic bag up and tossed it in the trash bag in the middle of my, now clean, bedroom. I glanced at the clock.

9:00 p.m

I was supposed to go for him thirty minutes ago... Damn!

"Grayson, stay here and continue cleaning. I'm going to go pick up Elliot." I bolted out of the room and rolled my eyes when I heard Grayson groan.

I knocked on Elliot's front door and waited. I heard some yelling, laughing and mumbling. The door opened, revealing Janeta in a yellow sundress in the ending of Maine's winter. Weird girl.

"Hello Ruet." she smiled at me. That's a first. "Heard you're taking Elliot in since I can't." I nodded. "If I find out that you cheated on him, did something stupid because you were drunk or anything to make Elliot cry, I will seriously kill you." I gulped. Her voice was low and harsh. Kind of like the way she talked to me when i tried convincing her that Grayson didn't mean anything by kissing that other girl. I shrugged. Janeta smiled, then called Elliot.

This girl is Bi Polar.

I heard light footsteps and I almost laughed at how Elliot looked.

He's too adorable.

Elliot was in what looked like a navy muscle shirt (which revealed muscles I didn't know he had), gray sweats and wearing these thick rimmed red glasses that stuck out from under his black hair. He looked seriously cute.

I saw him look at me, and I sent him a smile. I think he cursed in another language and ran back upstairs. I looked at Janeta who was holding in a laugh. She said something I didn't understand and followed him. I just stood there.

What?

I heard laughing and stomping footsteps.

This time Elliot was in basketball shorts, no glasses and carrying a small suitcase what Janeta was lugging a medium size one... That was apparently heavy. I laughed, taking it from her.

"Thanks. His sporting clothes are insane."

...sporting clothes...?

I looked to my boyfriend, who was blushing. I shrugged, grabbing the suitcase from Elliot and loading them into my car. He's parents already left and the furniture no longer there so I had to take him by tonight.

I closed the trunk while Elliot laced his hand in mine. I smiled.

"You ready?" Elliot nodded, shyly. I pecked his forehead and escorted him to the passenger side. Like a good boyfriend would, I opened the car door for him and helped him in. When I closed the door I swore he mumbled 'I could do it myself.'

This is so surreal. Elliot's living with me now.

I think I'm more excited than I should be.
