Chapter 11: Ella

He was right about the tart. I had to close my eyes and everything.

When I finally opened them he had the smuggest look on his face it made me crazy. In a good way. He was so enjoyable to be around. Maybe because he didn’t have any real problems or worries.

And when I was with him, neither did I.

But the earrings were a bit much. Not that they weren’t gorgeous- because they were- but the feeling I had in my chest when I saw them was unexpected. I couldn’t tell if it was a good feeling. It was like my whole ribcage tightened or my heart swelled or I don’t know, but it wasn’t a safe feeling.

It felt out of control.

Of course, I don’t know why I was even pretending that this situation was in any way under control. Cause it wasn’t. My feelings for Will weren’t flippant or casual. When I was with him, I was a version of myself that I didn’t know existed, a version of myself that I liked better than who I was the rest of the time.

I was sophisticated, witty, beautiful. I didn’t feel like that when he wasn’t around. I felt smart and average looking. Which wasn’t as much fun.

And now he’d gone and bought me jewelry. I didn’t know what he’d spent- and he probably didn’t care- but diamond earrings weren’t exactly flowers from a gas station. They were diamond freaking earrings. I would probably have them for the rest of my life. Owning them literally raised my net worth, and even though I wasn’t sure I should accept them, I felt like if I pushed the issue anymore he might be offended.

I just had to tell myself that rich guys did that and it wasn’t a big deal. It was to me, though. The only time I could ever remember a guy giving me jewelry before I was still wearing Oshkosh overalls, and he hadn’t even bought the friendship bracelet he so proudly presented to me. He stole it from his older sister’s jewelry box. Which I only know because I got in trouble when she caught me with it.

Maybe that’s why the earrings made me feel vulnerable. Like at any second I was going to be found out, they would be taken away, and somehow I was going to get hurt. I guess I was just skeptical of good things because I never knew them to last.

“How about a glass of that Irish whiskey you liked before?”

I leaned against his kitchen counter. “The one that practically made my dress fall off?”

Will looked at me out of the corner of his eyes. “Did you find it that strong?”

“Yeah, I did. In fact, I don’t remember a thing that happened the last time we drank that rocket fuel.”

Will turned to face me and raised his eyebrows, extending a short tumbler with the dark golden liquid in it. “I guess I’ll have to remind you.”

I accepted the glass and raised it towards him.
