"Clare…"

Hmm, who is that?

"Clare…"

Eli?

I opened my eyes. It was Eli. What is he doing here at…six-thirty in the morning? On a Saturday! In my room!

"Eli, what's wrong?" I looked up at him as he leaned down. His lips touched mine and I woke up completely at that moment.

I relaxed into the kiss, wait, why is it that I can barely feel him? We parted a minute later and he whispered into my ear,

"Clare, wake up. Clare…"

"Clare!"

"Ahh!" I fell to the floor and rubbed my right arm for a second. Ow! I looked at the person next to me and it was the guy from my dreams, Eli. He wasn't wearing the same thing he was a minute ago. I was a bit shocked to see him in a white shirt instead. He looked nice.

Wait, was it a dream? Or did we really kiss? I'm too scared to ask.

He knelt down and helped me up.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Eli, what are you doing here?"

"I just really wanted to see you this morning." He paused for a second looking at me. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, thanks." I smiled at him, still a bit asleep.

I think he noticed because he sat on my bed and signaled me to come. I sat next to him, but he laid me down until my head was on top of his chest and his arms were around my waist. I know, not the common 'friend' moment, but who says we have to be married or even in a relationship to have sweet moments like this, although it would be nice to call Eli my boyfriend, for him to be mine.

I sighed. Only in your dreams, Clare.

I was a bit confused, though, because he looked so distant and thoughtful. He almost never does that, unless he's nervous, by why would he be nervous?

"Eli, are you okay?"

"I'm okay…"

That still didn't convince me. I turned around to face him, our faces dangerously close to each other.

"So Eli, what's the real reason you're here?"

He looked into my eyes and then my lips.

"I woke up wanting to do something." I looked at him, confused.

He started to lean in and stopped once our noses touched. After a long, torturing second, our lips touched.

I felt it completely this time.

Our lips moved in sync. It was the most loving, passionate kiss I've ever had. After about a minute, we parted and stayed close, our foreheads touching. This seems so similar to my dream.

If I am still dreaming, I hope I never wake up.

Hope you likey!

R+R Please!
