"How many?" The waitress asked.
"For two please" Eli said politely.
"Right this way, please" the waitress said directly to Eli.
Eli was still holding Clare's hand; the waitress leaded them to the table. It just happened to be the closest to the kitchen.
"so..." Eli was trying to make conversation with Clare, the atmosphere was so awkward.
Eli decided he would talk about what he likes best : music.
"So have you heard the latest from Death Cab for Cutie?" Eli asked Clare, not knowing if she even knew the band.
"Yeah, I love 'Soul meets Body'" Clare said, Eli's eyes opened in surprise.
"Yeah, it's such a good song!" Eli said back, some of the other diners looked at them; Eli put his finger up to his lips and motioned soundless 'Shhh..." Clare copied.
"Can I get you something to drink?" The waitress asked Clare and Eli.
"Diet Coke" Clare said calmly.
"Ginger ale" Eli answered to the waitress.
"Be right back."
"So, how's homework in English?" Eli asked Clare.
"Well you should know you're in the same class as me" Clare giggled.
"Okay here you go, have you given any thoughts as to what you're going to have for dinner?" the waitress asked Eli and Clare.
"I'll have the Chicken Parmigianino" Clare said first, still looking at her menu.
"I'll have the same" Eli said to the Waitress and he passed up his Menu to her she took it from him and as she did she touched Eli's hand, Clare watched as Eli looked up at her. The waitress turned a bright red, Eli snapped back into reality.
The waitress look back at Eli but Eli now had his full attention on Clare.
"I saw you checking-out that waitress." As Clare said this she pointed to the waitress standing by the podium.
"No, I swear I wasn't!" Eli said to Clare.
"Yes you were," and when she said that she stood up and left Eli standing there.
Clare's POV
I ran out of the restaurant as fast as I could, we were on a date for God sakes!
I called a taxi.
Once I got home I hopped on my bed and listened to 'Enter the Ninja' by Die Antwoord.
I was interrupted by a loud banging on the door.
"What?" Clare yelled over the music.
"Clare? Honey? Take that garbage out of your ears!" Clare's mother yelled from the door way of her bedroom.
"What is it mom?" Clare asked her mom as she pulled out her ear buds.
"Some one's here to see you." Clare's mom said.
"is it Eli?" Clare asked Mrs. Edwards.
"Yes, honey." Clare's mom said.
"Tell him I'm not here" Clare said as she slipped the ear buds into her ears again.
Mrs. Edwards walked up to Clare and pulled the ear buds out.
"Listen to me Clare, he is waiting down there for you and I don't have the courage to tell him to leave... he has a hearse!" Clare's mom told her.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Clare said as she got up off her bed .
"Good Girl," Mrs. Edwards said as she patted Clare's back on the way out of Clare's room.
Eli was sitting on the couch in the Edwards' living room.
"Clare, I'm so sor—" Eli was interrupted by Clare's beautiful melodic voice.
"Eli, listen I know you were checking her out... don't lie to me." Clare told Eli
"No, I swear I wasn't... she's a relative... my cousin to be exact, I talked to her after you left. She said that she was going to talk to me but she was scared that you would think it was something different." Eli told Clare.
"Are you lying to me?" Clare asked Eli again.
"No, the last thing I would want to do is lie to you, so I'm not going to lie when I say this. Clare I'm hoping I haven't made a terrible impression on you... but the truth is, I'm in love with you. The reason why I started the fight with Fitz, I was jealous of him because you and him were flirting. I wanted to be the guy you would flirt with." Eli explained.
Clare was in awe, she stood there for seconds with her mouth hung open, she seemed to realize and she lifted her jaw up and clenched it. Her soft blue eyes were filled with passion. She walked towards Eli until they were inches apart.
"I love you too, Eli. I just got jealous of her because you and she had such a connection. I didn't know it was a blood connection." Clare said, her eyes piercing Eli's.
Eli placed his hands on Clare's neck, Eli leaned down to meet Clare's soft lips, it was a kiss that was spine-tingling, goose bump rising and toe tingling.
"Where have you been all my life?" Eli told Clare, who was still shocked at what just happened.
"Well, I'm in your bi—" Eli engulfed Clare in another kiss.
Eli loved her; she loved Eli... who said love doesn't last?
