Eli and Clare have been together for about a year already, Eli now a senior, and Clare a junior. This is my first fanfiction so i hope it's not that bad. please review and let me know what you think? :)

Walking in the halls, Clare couldn't help herself; she was too excited and hopped about seeing Eli this morning. She arrives at her destination point and opens up her locker. Her locker redecorated, no more twilight's Edward Cullen, but pictures of Eli and herself, which were taken at a photo booth. She slightly touches the picture and smiles.

"Tiger slow down" Eli slowly says catching his breath, "I called your name over 20 times" he exaggerated.

"Wow! Huge number, sorry I wasn't paying attention, I was thinking of this amazing boy, who is always on my mind" she teased and smiled as Eli stepped closer to Clare's body, grabs a hold of her hips, and stares into her eyes.

"So, Tell me more of this guy, who is he?" He sarcastically asks and smirks.

"Well-I'm actually looking at him right now, and I must say he's one handsome guy." She says in a soft tone. Locking eyes and smiling, their lips come to a greet. They are interrupted by the bell and Adam "Now that the PDA rules are long gone you two take advantage of it, not wasting anytime, huh?" he jokes. They all laugh and head to their classes.

After class, Eli asks Clare to come over after school, to review his essay voluntarily, without skipping class. She smile and agrees. As Eli and Clare head out towards Morty, she began to ponder whether he asked her to come over to take the next step, they have already engaged in some sexual activities but simply touching, although they have been together for a year he wouldn't pressure her to have sex and would mention there was no rush to have sex.

She began thinking: I feel close to Eli more and more every day, but I don't know if I want to have sex yet I've thought about it, yet I can't seem to fully know, I love him, but I'm not sure I'm ready. All this thinking began to made her think of how much she Love and care for Eli, hoping Eli wouldn't notice her daydreaming and wrapping her hair over her finger she smiled.

They arrive at his house; he opens the door to his bedroom and moves aside to let Clare in, smiling sheepishly.

"What a gentle man Eli" I joked.

"That's me your rock" He chuckled.

10 minutes have gone by after arriving at Eli's house; they were already locking lips sitting on Eli's bed. After what seemed like hours and hours of kissing, she lies on her and he follows and lies on his side with his lips touching hers. He began to kiss her neck and starts to go down to her collar bone. They both slightly become aroused; it wasn't the first time either, but this time it felt like a wonderful dream. She didn't feel guilty about engaging in some sexual things with Eli. Her clothes still on but a few buttons unbuttoned, Eli's shirt was already off. His hands softly, touch and caress her thighs and slowly start unbuttoning her jeans.

"Eli." She softly whispers still kissing him. He continues to kiss and suck on her neck, assuming she was saying his name out of pleasure.

"Eli" she repeats.

"Yeah?" he responds still kissing her neck, and then slowly starts unzipping her jeans.

"Eli, don't, not yet." she replies pushing his hands away. He got off his side and lies on his back next to her. She knew it bugged him, she knew It was unfair to him. It's not like she's never thought about having sex with Eli, she ready physically but still in the process of being ready mentally and emotionally. She loves Eli and knows he loves her too, but she was afraid it'll change everything.

"I'm sorry Eli, but...but I've told you I'm not ready yet." She apologizes.

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

"You're mad..."

"No, I'm not I understand." But he was kind of mad. He reached over to put on his shirt and they lie in complete silence. He understood she wasn't ready, but at the same time he wanted to express his love to her physically as well. It wasn't only about having sex, he loved her.

Later that day, After SCHOOL

Eli walks by and spots Adam and Fiona cuddling outside on the school's bench.

"Hey, where's your other half" Adam says, while Fiona lifts her head from Adams shoulder and looks up at Eli.

"Oh, she had an emergency Baby Jesus club meeting" he teased "No actually, she had to go with her parents out for her dad's hospital banquet dinner"

"How are you guys doing?" Fiona asks smiling and holding onto Adam's hand.

"Um, we're great actually; we're like Romeo and Juliet but-"

"Without the forbidden love" Adam interrupts. "I heard you guys were alone at her house last night, did you guys like already, well you know."

"No, we were about to last night, but she's still not ready"

"And you're really okay with that?" Fiona adds

"Well I really care about her, I mean I want to; believe me, but I also respect her and respect her wishes. I won't force her into anything. I'm not just in it for that. If I was, I wouldn't be by her side till this day. I love Clare."

"Aww" Adam and Fiona tease. Eli smirks then laughs with Fiona and Adam.

I know this chapter is short, but the next one will get better, a little drama and "revelations."
