My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 15

The town looked nice from the car ride to the house. I was curious to see if the town was as happy as it

seemed from the quick ride. I smiled and darted up the stairs. I was actually excited to go outside of the

house for the first time. I quickly showered and ran mousse through my hair before it could get frizzy.

After pinning my bangs back with a simple clip. I brushed my teeth and went to find something suitable.

I remembered what Elias said about the town waiting to meet me. I thought it was odd, but I figured that

jeans and a t-shirt wouldn't suffice. I dug through the closet until I found the perfect sundress. It was

sort of stretchy with a small V-neck. The pattern was made up of Hawaiian flowers on a sky blue

background. It was tight until the waist and then it flowed to just above my knees. I paired it with white

converse. After I felt suitably dressed, I met Elias back in the living room. He looked over my attire

shocked. I suddenly felt self-conscious as I held my arms in front of my stomach and blushed.

"I'll go change," I muttered quickly, turning on my heels. Elias caught my arm gently and pulled me

closer to him.

"No... you look great, love. I just... I wasn't expecting a dress," he said softly. I blushed even more if that

was even possible. He looked at my face confused.

"I liked your freckles," he said. I shrugged, tossing my hair over my shoulder. Okay, so maybe I put on a

little makeup as well. Those townswomen really thought of everything.

"Ready?" I asked, trying to change the subject. He smirked and offered me his arm.

"You look beautiful, Cupcake," he said. I glared at him out of the corner of my eye.

"My name is not Cupcake," I glowered. He only chuckled as we walked out of the house.

"Sure thing, Cupcake," he teased. I groaned and threw my head back dramatically.

"Seriously Eli, my name isn't that hard. It's four letters," I argued. He only laughed. He full blown

laughed. The town was pretty much all within walking distance. The weather was just comfortable

enough to not be too cold or too hot. The people of the town greeted us as if we were royalty. These

people were deliriously happy.

Drugs were the only answer I had for how happy these people seemed. I would have to remember to

stay away from the water. We eventually ended up at a marketplace. It was huge. We entered from

outside where vendors were set up everywhere. There was everything from carpets to fresh fruits. The

inside was completed with a huge food court and tons of stores from Nike to Victoria's Secret to GNC.

They had everything. We looked around for a bit, and Elias even got me a few things before we settled

in the food court to eat. I chose a cute little Vietnamese restaurant while Elias went for Burger King. We

got our food and sat down to eat. I spun the noodles on my fork and took a bite. It was truly

delicious.
