Sweet Sixteen
"When I first met you, I was yet to cut my teeth."
He sat there, staring at me from across the room. I didn't stop gazing at him, because I didn't want to. I wanted to lose myself in his dark green orbs. I expected him to get up and walk over to me, but he didn't. He was testing me, his eyes trailing over my thoughts. He was waiting for me to make the move. I felt a wave of confidence hit me and I got up and found my way over to him. "I'm Clare." I started as I sat down next to him. "I know who you are." He stated, making chills shoot up my back. "'Okay, so the real question is who are you?" I shot back curiously. "I don't know you well enough to share my government business, but since you asked so nicely, I'm Eli." He stated, extending his arm out to me.
I shook it welcomingly. "Do you want a drink?" He asked as his dark bangs swooped over his face. "I don't drink." I responded back quickly. "I just shared my government business with you, the least you could do was just have one drink." He begged, as his smirk snuck up on his face. I nodded my head okay.
I took a sip out of the red plastic cup and winced at the bitter flavor. He smirked again. "I like that you're innocent, there should be more people like you." He said roughly. "It's refreshing to see someone that isn't all about getting high." I blushed as I smiled my toothy grin. "I'm not as innocent as I look, I'm full of surprises." I responded seductively. He laughed. "Tell me more about yourself." He demanded. "I want to know what it's like to be you." "I've lived in Toronto for my whole life." I started. "If I wanted to know that, then I would've looked you up on Facebook." He smiled. "If you could change anything about your life, then what would it be?" He questioned. "My parents." I stated hesitantly.
"They have been fighting a lot lately." "Everything at my house has been really tense lately and they just expect me to be perfectly calm about it." I cried. He just sat there listening, his eyes consuming me with interest. "They've made my life so terrible for the past few months." I stated as a tear rolled down my cheek. He brushed it away with his thumb. "You're way too pretty when you're upset." His voice soothed. I smiled. I checked my watch. "Crap, it's past my curfew!" I exclaimed as I jumped up from the leather couch.
"Whoa!" "What's the rush?" He questioned worriedly. "My parents are going to kill me." I panicked. "They've been making your life awful; don't you think it's your turn to raise a little hell?" He questioned as he reached for my hand. "Stay." His soft voice reassured. Those words never sounded so sweet. I sat back down on the couch next to him. If it was anyone else, then I wouldn't have considered it. But he was Eli Goldsworthy and he made me forget.
