One of the Village People

The backstory for this is that Jake and Clare didn't kiss in Lovegame, they became friends and got closer. this is set during Lose Yourself (1). In U Don't Know Eli saw Jake and Clare at Little Miss Steaks but they were just friends but Eli is still jealous. This idea just popped into my head one night and I know it's a lot like another couple but the story is not like their relationship. But I do hope you all enjoy this.

Clare entered the dimly lit theatre and saw Eli talking to Fiona, she had noticed that the two had become really close over the past few weeks of them working on the play, and when she saw him her heart skipped a beat. She looked away and turned her attention to the tall boy who was using a hammer on a piece of wood over near the stage. She smiled and walked over to him

"Oh my gosh can I have your autograph?" She squealed like a little girl, the boy turned around and a confused stare on his face,

"What?" He asked, Clare laughed

"Oh sorry, I thought you were one of the village people." She said motioning at his tool belt and gloves.

"Ouch!" He laughed,

"Want to have a go?" He asked her holding out the hammer in his hand. Clare grabbed it

"Yes please." She said, Jake beckoned her over to the piece of wood, and grabbed a nail from the packet near him and he placed it on the wood.

"Be Careful, try not to hit my hand." He told her, Clare gave him a salute and hit the nail once. She laughed

"I'm a carpenter!" She exclaimed excitedly. Jake laughed

"You are so easily amused." He said, Clare handed him back the hammer.

"That was fun, thanks." Clare said, Jake nodded and put the hammer down on top of the wood he was working on. Jake took off his gloves and placed them next to his hammer. He turned to the girl standing beside him and smiled, he brushed a stray bit of hair from her face, Clare blushed and they looked into eachothers eyes. Jake took this as a sign and leaned forward and pressed his lips to Clare's, he felt her kiss back and they stood there for a few seconds until Clare pulled away

"Well hello there." Clare said weirdly before taking a small step backwards

"Sorry... I thought..." Jake started putting his right hand on the back of his neck.

"No, it's ok." Clare said, Jake nodded.

"Well, I should go." Clare said before giving Jake a small smile and walking off. Jake sat down on the edge of the stage smiling to himself. The two were completely unaware that Eli had watched the entire exchange between them.
