AH! I feel like I'm cheating on Eclare writing a Cake fic. But I kind of like this one. Something I could expect to sort of happen. But who knows. XD It's a little different then some other writing I've done. But I'm almost finished writing it. And right now it's looking to be a Three-Shot. Maybe four. But most likely Three. Well READ, REVIEW, and ENJOY!

"We hang out. We have fun. Just two friends messing around," Jake said leaning against the arm of the couch.

"And no one gets hurt," Clare smiled, as Jake smirked. They attentively stared at each other for a moment, until he started to lean forward, pressing his lips upon hers. However she pulled away a second later and pushed him down in lying position. "Like Friends with Benefits?"

He smirked again. "Exactly." She laid on
\top of him and he pulled her body closer to his, immediately locking lips again, as her hands ran through his brunette hair and he kept tight of her hips by his.

Clare and Jake kept up with their Friends with Benefits for weeks. Whenever one of their parents were out of the house after school. They'd wind up there to do, whatever they wanted. And for all those weeks, Clare never thought of Eli. Of course she saw him at school and worked with him on the play. But, the romantic feelings were pretty much gone. Except for the fact, that you will always love someone you have loved. But, she wasn't prying for his attention or anything. She was in a good place, with a really good friend.

Jake and Clare danced to the music at Above the Dot. Giggling and smiling the entire time. Jake pulled her body close to kiss her quickly. When the song stopped, Clare stepped away to go get something to drink. She took a couple sips from a bottle of water she just pulled out of the ice box. "You're getting hot tonight huh?" Alli asked leaning against the table.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Clare sarcastically said screwing back on the top. "Mmm hmm!" Alli replied with a glare not being fooled by her best friend. "So what? Jake and I are having a little fun!" Clare shouted over the new music starting.

"You guys are always together, always giving each other the looks across the room, and are kissing each other left and right. But you two aren't together?" Clare shrugged to Alli's comment and she pouted, "I'm your best friend Clare. You have to tell me what's going on!"

Clare answered with a jovial sigh, "Fine. He doesn't like relationships and I just don't feel ready for one. That's why we're just messing around for our own amusement. It's amicable. Nothing serious."

"Clare you little Hussy! So like Friends with Benefits?" She asked amusingly.

"Pretty much," Clare giggled. Alli continued after she shared their laughter, "I don't know. I think he might be wanting more."

"Like sex?" Clare asked nervously.

"I was thinking a relationship. The way he's been staring at you. He's being a little more romantic lately. These days he treats you like you're his girlfriend. I think he's really falling for you." Alli mentioned.

"He's not into the romantic stuff. We're just friends Alli. Friends who happen to like each other's company." But before Alli could respond; Jake already grabbed Clare's hand and yelled, "C'mon! Keep dancing with me!" Clare looked over at Alli, who was grinning at her, while she handed her, her water and let Jake drag her back out on the dance floor. The music grew more upbeat as he spun her around and held her close. Then randomly dipping her. Clare's heart raced, when he grinned at her. But not just out of fun. He was happy. A bit of joy in his eyes, and what crossed her mind were the words Alli just said to her.

Clare hesitated, and looked at her watch. "Oh!" –He moved her back up to her feet—"It's almost ten. I need to get home."

"You're right. Milady?" He stuck out his elbow for her to link with as the exited the club.

They walked back to Clare's in the night. "Y'know. You didn't need to walk me home," Clare said nonchalantly. "Yeah, well I wanted to," he replied, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She tensed up with a feeling of discomfort.

Once they were in front of her house, she spoke up, "Well we're here. Thank you for walking me home. But you should be on your way. I bet your dad is getting worried."

"Why do I feel like, you're trying to get rid of me, Miss Edwards?" He seductively said lightly brushing the back of his hand across her cheek.

Clare blushed, looking away to avoid eye-contact. Then jumped to another subject, "Why are the lights out? My mom wouldn't have gone to bed this early. Especially if I was out."

"Maybe she's out."

"Doing what?" Clare snapped.

He shrugged. "Who knows? But I can think of something we can do until she gets back." He took his hand out of his pocket of his jacket to take hold of her neck, leaning down to kiss her. It reminded her of their first kiss, after her freak out on Eli. But this time she was hesitant, she jumped into the passion. Letting the moment go on until he pulled away.

She bit her lip and took hold of his hand. "Come on." She hushed reaching for the handle. "Even if my mom is asleep. Doesn't mean out night has to be over just yet, right?" His grin was big, reaching to hug her waist with a quiet laughter as they scurried into the home as unobtrusively as they could.

Suddenly, their cheery moods faded away when they noticed there was some sort of romantic music playing. Jake looked around at nothing but a blackened room, but could see Clare through the moonlight through the windows. He gave her a smug look, "Did you plan this?"

Clare scrunched her face, "No!" Still being hushed. She made her way into the living room, where she noticed two lit tall candles almost half way melted. She flipped the light switch and vision a disturbing sight in front of her. "MOM?"

Jake stepped beside her, eyes growing wide, "DAD?"

What do you guys think? Was it bad? Good? I know Eclare readers are hating me, because with the looks of it, you want some Eclare mush fics. But This was an Idea I had. And I thought. ONE Cake Three-Shot wouldn't kill me. I'm still working on New Semester, New Clare. That will hopefully be updated soon. But THANK YOU for reading! Give me Any type of Critique! I'll Take it all! :D Well I'll post the second part soon. So Yeah! :D Love ya! :*(^_^) ~Eli
