Read on. Read on.

"Let's just get married." I blurted out.

"Hah. You're very funny, Elijah." Clare said back.

"I'm serious." I said like it wasn't obvious I wanted to marry her.

She choked on her food.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"I mean.. I love you. Why not just elope or something?" I stated.

"We're only 18, Eli." She stated, like I didn't already know.

"Cmon, baby." I dragged out the 'y' in baby and tried to turn my charm on.

"Are you proposing?" She asked.

"Yes. Was it not clear?" I asked.

She got up and kissed me. Hard. I was so in love with this girl.

"And you're ready to have only me as you partner for the rest of your life?" She asked.

"Are you trying to convince me to leave you?" I sarcastically asked.

She rolled her eyes.

"And yes. Of course. It will always be only you." I said standing up and kissing her. She kissed me back and eventually forced her tongue on my mouth.

"Going a little fast are we?" I sarcastically asked.

"Says the boy who just proposed to me at the age of 18." She replied.

Just a cute little one-shot of basically Eli's way of proposing to Clare. If you want me to continue from here, just tell me! Thanks.
