Penelope essentially leaped into the car. She couldn't help feeling a guilty, after all, she suggested going out and hanging out, the three of them. This time she didn't look out the window she lied on the backseat, worried and thinking about the worst possible scenarios.
group
Driving up to his house, motioning for Penelope to come as he realized the house wasnt on fire.
She sat up and she let out a huge breath of relief. Her body visibly relaxed as she got out of the car. She went inside and slowly approached the oven. Afraid of the result, she slowly opened the oven. As she saw what actually happened, she burst out into laughter.
group
Harley decided to stay in the car as they…did whatever they were doing.
"W-what?"
Elijah asks slowly walking up to it.
Still laughing Penelope pointed to the oven, sitting there was an uncooked pie. "I… we didn't turn in the oven!" She managed to say that in between laughs.
group
Slumping down on the ground as he looked at the pie, letting out a grin as he was trying to catch his breath.
"Wow….i am an absolute…idiot"
He says as he looks up at the girl hysterically laughing.
She finally calmed down a little. "But I'm so glad!" She looks over at Elijah on the ground and a smile crept across her face. "Maybe we should actually turn on the oven and invite Harley inside?"
group
"Yeah?"
He stands up, closing the oven door and actually turning it on this time.
"I can go get her, although….i thought you were taking a nap…after being a statue in not surprised though."
He mumbles the last part to himself.
She looks up for a second remembering that she said that. "Well, I'm actually not tired right now! I'll set a timer so we don't over-cook the pie while you go get Harley." Penelope starts looking around the kitchen for a timer, not knowing that ovens nowadays have timers built into them.
group
"The oven has a timer to alarm you when it's done"
He says ruffling her hair with a smile.
"Oh." She said shyly with a shy smile. Just a moment later, Penelope hugged Eli, once again blushing. She had found the perfect time and she took the chance.
group
Wrapping his arms around her with a smile
"You okay?"
He practically whispers to her while resting his lips on the top of her head.
She smiles into his chest. "Of course, I just… I've wanting to do this for a while today." Hugs were almost her kryptonite, but she loves them.
group
"Oh okay"
He says as a smile crosses his face, hugging her tighter and stroking her hair. He didn't hug very often, which was surprising to some people, but he loved hugging her. He felt like he needed to protect her with his life, which he was willing to do.
Penelope, on one hand, didn't want to let go she loved the feeling of being encased in someone's arms, but on the other, she felt slightly bad for leaving Harley alone and waiting in the car. She didn't say anything though, instead, she also hugged a little tighter.
group
"Do you think Harley stole my car?"
He says with a slight laugh, feeling bad fir leaving her out there.
Sitting in the front seat, she had the radio turned up listening to 21 pilots and the killers while singing along. Making sure the windows were rolled up, then getting embarrassed when they weren't.
She giggles a little. "I don't know… but I feel bad for leaving her in the car alone." She said hesitantly.
group
"Yeah….i can go get her if you want. I might take a nap so you guys can talk. Or I'll fix dinner while you guys are talking and the pies cooking."
He says looking down at her, wanting to see her face.
"It'll be a welcome back gift. A nice dinner with pie"
He says smiling as he actually kisses the top of her head now.
She smiles, looking up at him after he kissed her head, pink showing up on her face. "That sounds wonderful! But I would want to help you… how about I go get her this time?"
group
"Heh, okay. First, whaddya want to eat tonight. As your first meal in…a long time"
He says letting out a little laugh. His hands now around her waist, not particularly meaning to.
"Hmm…" As always, she lightly bit her bottom lip and her eyes looked around the room. She couldn't remember what she liked to eat, except for one thing. "I don't really know… but I do like corn." Penelope, still looking up at Eli, made eye contact and smiled. She just realized that his eyes were the same color as the flowers on the tree and the few that were still in her hair.
group
"Hmm….i can think of something"
He says with a smile as he ruffles her hair, then noticing the cut on her lip.
"Ah, are you okay?"
He says putting a finger under her chin lifting it up, not meaning to be seductive or anything like that (although he probably seemed that way) but trying to see if she was okay.
Her face turned a darker shade of red. She then realized what he meant. "Oh uh… yeah I'm fine!"
group
Noticing her red face, he backs away feeling really bad now.
"Sorry….um…you should go get Harley…."
He says looking away
"Oh okay…" Slightly sad that he backed away, she sent him a small smile and left to get Harley. She stood by the door cooling off her face before going outside with a smile. She noticed Harley jamming in the car and let out a relieved sigh. Walking over to the car, she knocked on the driver door window to ger Harley's attention.
group
Screaming her lungs out as she looked over at a figure standing right outside her window, relieved to see it was only Penelope. Turning down the radio and rolling down the window, black parade playing in the background.
"Hey! Is that pie burnt?"
She says looking up at her with a smile.
She didn't have to bend over to look through the window, as she was short enough. "Are you okay?" She asked when Harley screamed. "Oh, no it's not, Eli forgot to turn on the oven! Do you wanna come inside? He said he's going to make dinner, so you and I can talk!" Penelope smiled.
group
Turning off the radio, and smiling she reaches for a button on the side of the door
"Sure, just lemme-"
She says as she rolls up the window and opens the door.
"Elis pretty stupid sometimes i gotta admit that"
She laughed to herself as they walked up to the house.
She laughed a little while walking with Harley. Before Harley could get to the door, Penelope opened it for her and gestured for her to go inside.
group
Giving her a nod and a smile as she walked in, Elijah had put on a little apron while he boiled a big pot of corn and cut up some other foods, (i am no cook XD)
"Elijah in his natural habitat."
Harely says with a laugh
