Yes, she does bring it up

Joel stays in the shower for a while contemplating his life and what might happen next. How could he be so silly to fall for a young girl like Ellie? It's not right but all the things they have been through and the way she acts towards him. It did remind him of Sarah but since they moved in here. She have been far more like a partner and it have made him look at her differently. She is a very pretty girl, for sure and if he was her age he would be head over heel for her.

Ellie on the other hand didn't sit around doing nothing but started making some food. Of course she was thinking about how to bring it up to him and what might happen when she does. She made some fried potatoes with bacon and eggs.

Joel as also thinking whether to have a talk with her but deiced he would see what she would do. If she would play dumb so would he. No need to **** a confrontation about this if she doesn't want to. He finally gets out of the shower and down stairs. He never got to finish himself off. So when he saw her standing there frying away in a pan. He couldn't help but to look at her with lust his eyes getting stuck on her cute little butt, feeling a twitch in his cock. He shakes his head, he must get his act together.

"Hey Ellie..." He starts of standing still "Wha... What's for dinner?" His nervousness seeps through and Ellie picks up on it as it's so rare for him to sound like that.

Ellie decides to reply cheerfully more so than normal. She doesn't want him to feel bad. "Oh just some basic potato, egg and bacon. Nothing special!" She looks over her shoulder back at Joel and flashes him a bright smile.

Joel immediately calms down some. At least she is not totally of, though something sure is. But this is a lot better than her being cold and distant towards him. He decides to just play along then. Maybe that's for the best.

"Oh but that's special because it's you who made it." He says and goes over and starts making the table. Ellie comes with the pan and they eat. Not saying anything, but it's clear both are trying to see if the other knows, making it quite tense.

Ellie after drinking up her milk. Both being finished with their food. Decides to break the ice "Sooo Joel.. There is no getting around it and I think it's better for us to come clean. I saw what you did... And..." She starts blushing "... Heard what you said..."

Joel jaw drops he feels so stupid for letting her be the one to bring it up and the shame starts to kick in however her expression and the way she said it doesn't show any signs of disgusted with him and she seems as embarrassed as him or more.

"Ellie..." He starts but then only sighs "... I'm sorry. There is no excuse for that but I couldn't help myself. It's been quite lonely and well hard to return to normal. But I promise you I would never do anything to you ever. That's why I only do it when you are not home."

Ellie feels a little warm inside of Joel coming clean to her. "I know Joel... I know you would never do anything to me that I didn't want... But I... I love you Joel and seeing you like that hurt so bad." She blushes even harder and looks away "And that you... Erhm was thinking of me while doing that... It's like, well weird but also kinda a compliment you know."

Joel blinks frantically was this real, it must be a dream right "Ellie what are you telling me?" He wasn't sure of what she was getting at or what she meant by love you. Still he got exited about the way she talked.

She looks back with a timid shy look "Well Joel, if you need some help with that I... Maybe... Maybe I could help you out someway." She didn't know what she was getting at either. She had little to no experience with sex and men and their needs.

Joel looses it wait she is offering to help me? As in having sex with me?
