Begins at the Manning/Sammler kitchen at 7:40 am, everyone is rushing
around trying to grt themselfs ready for school, work exc... all that is,
except for Eli.
"Hey, wheres Eli?" Rick asked sounding a bit frustrated
"I don't know hun, maybe he's still sleeping." Lily announced
"Would someone mind getting him up?" he said a bit loudly"
He looked around at Grace, Jesse, and Zoe who were all eating their cereal.
"Jesse.." he looked at her with pleading eyes "would you mind sweetie?"
"Dad, I'm trying to eat!"
"I will!" Grace said as she put her spoon down and got up.
"Oh thanks Gracie!"
She lightly smiled at him.
As she walked into his room, she saw him lying down in bed with nothing on
except for his boxers. She let her eyes wonder from his sleepy face all the
way to his happy trail, and smiled.
GRACE POV: He is so adorable when he's sleeping.... aww and he drools.. and
for some reason I find that unbeleivably attractive... maybe because it's
Eli drool... she smiled coyly.
Grace then proceeded to call out his name.
"Eli... Elia, wake up.."
Still no reply, so she walked right over to him and shook his shoulder
lightly
GRACE POV: Wow.. his skin is soo soft.. she smiled..
"Eli..." she said as she shoved his arm lightly"time to get up"
Then a very sleepy eyed Eli woke up.
"Hu..? what time is it?" he asked half awake and half sleeping.
"It's about 7:50 by now.."
"Oh.. okay" he started to get up but then realized he was in his boxers,
and blushed a little... Grace didn't even notice, she was to busy looking
at his washboard abs.
"Okay.." Grace finally looked at his face.. ' well I'll see ya out there."
she smiled
"Okay." Eli said as he shoved his pants on.
"Hey hun!... is he ready?" Lily asked her daughter
GRACE POV: My mother is always soo cheerful, I mean seriously she is always
smiling... it must be all the sex she has.. okay ewww did I really just
think that...ewww anyways did I mention she was voted like miss popular in
highschool...and here I am geeky Grace Manning... I can't even get a guy to
look at me, and when I go to the store with her there are guys that
literaly fawn after her...
"Oh...umm yeah.." Grace replied
"okay sweetie..I'll see ya after work."
she then kissed her and was off.
Just moments later Eli came stumbling into the kitchen.. apparently trying
to tie his shoe and and walk at the same time.
"Here I'll do it.." Grace leaned down to tie his shoe
"No, grace that's okay"
"just shut up Eli, the faster you get ready the faster we get out of
here.." she looked up and smiled at him
"there all done.." she stood back up
"Thanks!"
"No prob" Grace said as she started to walk away.
"Grace wait.." he put his hand on her shoulder
"yeah?"
"Do you think you can drive... I still need a few minuets to wake up!"
Grace smiled "yeah sure.."
"thanks!" he then stoked her arm lightly.
GRACE POV: I love it when he puts his hand on my shoulder, I just love it!!
She smiled wickedly into the camera.
"Why are you driving?" jesse asked
Grace bgan to speak, but was cut off
"Because I want her to..okay??!!" Eli snapped
"Okay...damn what's up your ass?"
"wouldn't you like to know!" Eli jokingly
"uh Eli your disgusting.." she joked
He laughed " chill drama queen..it's a joke.."
When they pulled up to the school Jesse jumped right out, but Grace took
her time getting her papers and books together... something she had planned
to do on the drive over..
"sorry, I'm almost done" she said looking up at Eli
"it's cool... take your time" he said as he handed her a book
"thanks.." she then got out of the car and began walking to the school
doors.
"Oh.. grace" Eli yelled
she turned around "yeah?"
"Jesse doesn't have to be picked up today.. do you?"
"yeah, but I can walk it's okay..."
"no, no don't be dumb.. I'll be here.."
"oh..okay" she smiled then began walking to class.
GRACE POV: Eli... he's the only person I know that can make me open up and
be care free... I mean I'm late for first period, but I don't care... he
has that effect on people I guess...
The day went by seemingly fast for Grace, she went through class after
class, and before she knew it, she was standing outside waiting for Eli but
as she was waiting someone tapped her on her shoulder.
"Hello Grace" a very beautiful blonde bombshell had just spoken to her
GRACE POV: Katrina... where do I start, she hates me for no reason and for
that pffftt... I hate her!
"what do you want?"
"Nothing really, did you hear about my party?
"no.."
"yeah that's what I thought...here, it's an invitation..hope to see you
there!" and with that she walked away.
GRACE POV: Ok that seriously did not happen... did it? why..?
Just as she was thinking this, Eli pulled up with a smirk on his face as
Grace got into the car he began to talk
"hey," he smiled "I'm sorry I'm late!"
"don't worry about it.." she smiled
"Oh...okay, but honeslty I'm sorry..!"
Grace just laughed
"so... how was school?"
"well DAD, it was loads of fun!" she laughed
"What, I'm just trying to start conversation.."
"I know sweetie.." she smiled
GRACE POV: Oh man (slaps head) I just called him sweetie...I hope he didn't
notice...
Eli smiled "So, do you have any plans for tonight?"
"me..plans...."
"yeah, a cute girl like you must have plans on a friday night."
GRACE POV: Ok did he just call me cute?!!!? (looks at the camera.
Grace laughs "what, what cute girl?!?!"
"Grace...your too hard on yourself!"
She didn't say anything, she just looked at her hands
"So umm, I'm heading to the record store... do you wanna go, or do you have
to get home?"
"oh G I don't know Eli, I have TONS of homework..."
he laughed "shut up... so do you want to go?" he asked her again..
"well, wich one are you going to?"
"why Grace, wich one do you want to go to?"
she smiled devilishly in a way that made Eli want to melt.
"Tower Records.." she batted her eyelashes playfully ofcourse
"okay fine.." he had given in..
Once they got there, they started walking around, picking out different
Cd's and just goofing off with eachother.
They finally settled on a few different CD's in which Eli bought for them.
The Strokes- for Grace
Jason Mraz- for Eli
Rooney- for both Grace/Eli
The Beatles Graetest Hits- for Eli
Once the CD's were bought they headed back to the car and made their way
home.
"Eli, Thanks soo much!!" she squeeled
"my pleasure doll face" he said as he playfully knocked her chin
GRACE POV: doll face!??! sometimes he can be such a sweet guy!!
