RUMOR HAS IT-CHAPTER 2

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest, the banging coming from my front door had startled me, nearly making me drop the glass of water that was gripped very loosely in my hand.

"I'm coming," I called out while placing the glass down on the counter and walking to the door.

"That's what you're wearing?" Eli asked, scoffing when I opened the door.

Eli walked right by me, making himself comfortable as I glanced down at my outfit and shrugged my shoulders. His statement left me very puzzled as I glared at my appearance in the mirror and asked loudly, "What's wrong with my outfit?"

I walked into the living room to see Eli, sitting on my couch and he said, "Nothing's wrong...I was just expecting something different."

"Like what? Nothing," I said as he smirked and said, "That would've turned me on, but, I think lingerie would've done the trick."

I sighed, sat down on the table as Eli parted his legs, letting my knees rest between his knees as I said smugly, "Listen, I'm sorry I didn't get the memo about wearing something to please your eyes but, all I want to do is get this over with."

My heart raced as Eli got antagonizingly close to my lips, practically breathing down my throat and my bottom lip quivered excitingly, "Are your hormones raging Clare?" I took in a sharp breath and I whispered, "N-no, yours?"

He scoffed, pressing his soft lips against mine, which soon curled into a grin.

Eli moved his head to the right, deepening the kiss as I felt his hands rub my sides, moving in a circular rotation and I whimpered, "Can you stop to just take a breath Eli? What are you, a fish?"

He smirked and said, "I can hold my breath forever if I had to."

"I doubt that," I mumbled as his teeth tugged at my bottom lip hungrily.

I heard him scoff as I buried my head in the crook of his neck and I felt Eli's soft lips press up against my neck. He slowly made his way up to my earlobe and a jolt of this unfamiliar feeling shot through my body.

It was a great feeling.

"Oh," I moaned but then clenched my lips shut, noticing what noise came from my mouth.

Eli scoffed and whispered against my ear, "You can make noises Clare, don't be embarrassed," as his lips continue to make their way back to my jaw line. I felt his tongue swirl pleasurably on my neck.

Out of nowhere, I felt this uncomfortable tension between my legs start to build up.

I pulled away and Eli looked at me, confused, as if he did something wrong, "C-can we go up to my room? I really don't want to lose my virginity on a couch that's covered in plastic from all the painting and stuff."

He smirked as I gripped his hand and pulled him up my steps while he said, "I'm lovin' the view from here."

I giggled and when we reached the top of the steps, Eli backed me up against my bedroom door as I stared up into my best friends piercing green eyes. When Eli was about to kiss me, I whispered against his lips, "Don't get used to it."

Our lips and hands moved frantically, faster than I'd ever seen before.

Eli's cold hands traced the outline of my shirt at the top of my neck and I pulled back, glancing up as he whispered against my ear, "You know...I might not be an expert on having sex with a girl, but, I do know we have to shed some clothes."

I smirked and asked, "Can you try not to be cocky when we do this?"

"I will be everything plus cocky," he told me while pecking me on the lips and then he opened my bedroom door, only to quickly shut it with the swift kick of the back of his foot.

I backed up onto my bed as Eli inched closer to me and I spread my legs, so he could lie between them. A weird vibration produced from the back of his throat and was released into my mouth. I pulled away, asking, "What was that?"

He smirked and said, "What? You're allowed to make noises, but I'm not. That's not fair."

"O-oh, I-uh, I didn't know-," I mumbled as Eli tugged at the hem of my shirt needingly as I glanced up at him and he asked, "Want to take the clothes off or are we going to do this dressed like we're ready for the tundra?"

I smiled, tugged at the hairs behind his head and I said, "N-no. You can take it off."

Eli carefully lifted my shirt above my head as he glanced down at my chest and sure enough, my cheeks flushed bright red from the embarrassment of this whole act that I had agreed on doing.

Although I won't admit it out loud, I'm glad that I'm doing this with Eli and not a complete stranger.

He looked up at me, placing a firm hand beneath my chin while whispering against my lips, "Beautiful."

My blood pressure must have been way above the 'normal' and my legs must have not been connected to my body by this time, because this is how my whole body felt at the moment, disconnected.

I felt worked up, hot and tension filled.

"Time for your shirt to go," I whispered against his lips, our foreheads touching as he leaned up and threw his shirt off with no problem and tossed to the ground, as if this wasn't the first time he was letting his best friend see him shirtless.

I placed my hand over his chest, to see if his heart was beating as fast as mine.

"Don't worry Clare, I'm just as nervous as you," he whispered against my ear as I breathed out in relief when he placed caring kisses on my neck and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I felt both of his hands at the sides of my chest.

I gulped and decided to make him flustered, because every time I looked up that stupid smirk was on his face.

My hands roamed his belt buckle and I felt him let out a sharp, surprised gasp as I felt his heart race beneath my hand. I felt it thud uncontrollably, almost quicker than mine was as I asked gently against his head, "Am I making Elijah Goldsworthy excited?"

I had my head buried in the crook of his neck and I felt his adam's apple throb, "I'll take that as a yes."

"Hm, wha-yeah sure, Clare," he wasn't making much sense at this point and I glanced down and before I could look at what was bulging beneath his skinny jeans, he pushed me down and our lips locked powerfully together.

I smiled against his lips and I giggled, "You're nervous about me looking at you, aren't you?"

"Shut up Edwards," he mumbled against my neck as I felt his cool fingertips trace the outline of my pants and I gasped, loving the feeling of ecstasy as Eli said smugly, "You're nervous about me looking at you, aren't you?"

"Mocking me, even when we are in bed huh? I see how it is," I told him while wrapping my arms around his neck and pecking him on the cheek.

He scoffed playfully as I pulled away from him, while saying, "If I was so nervous, would I do this?"

"Do wha-," his jaw line dropped when I reached behind my back to unclasp my bra, but, I failed miserably because my fingers were shaking due to the fact that Eli was staring at me like I was a piece of meat.

Trying to show off in front of Eli, backfired miserably.

"Let me do it," he ordered as I leaned into his chest, wrapping my arms around him as I felt his cool fingers play with the clasp on my bra. My warm cheek leaned on his shoulder as I felt the clasp be let loose, but I didn't let go of him, afraid of what he would say...or do.

I shivered and he smirked, "Clare, you're going to have to let go of me."

"Eli, I'm not so sure about this now," I mumbled nervously against his neck as he rubbed my back soothingly and said, "We don't have to do anything Clare, we can just sit and watch t.v."

I could feel Eli's erection pressing into my stomach and I shook my head while mumbling, "I'm fine, just first time jitters."

This is what I want.

"Okay Clare, whatever you say. Now, it's time to let go of me because if you grip your nails into me any tighter you might actually touch my insides," he said as I laughed a little, hesitantly letting go of him.

Eli slowly pulled back, keeping his eyes on my face as I asked, "Can we do this as quickly and painlessly as possible?"

"I'll try, but, no promises," he said while pecking me gently on the cheek and he lowered me back onto my back once again.

The tension in my lower stomach had started to build uncontrollably after Eli had pulled off my pants, leaving me in just my underwear as he nibbled, kissed, bit, sucked and licked at each spot on my body.

I don't think he missed one spot, except of course, for the spot.

The place that, at this very second, needed all of the attention.

"E-Eli, take your pants off, now," I stuttered his name, as he looked down at me and when he reached for his belt buckle, to do what I told him, I felt as if I had a brain boner. I shook my head while gripping his belt with my fumbling fingers.

"Are you sure you can handle a belt and a zipper?" He asked and I smiled, "Well, considering it's very small then I think I can handle it."

His eyebrows rose as I smiled in triumph when my fingers had stopped moving so quickly for the first time tonight and I heard the buckle click, signaling I had successfully unbuckled it and Eli smirked, "Now you can sleep good tonight."

I laughed and asked, "Can you shut up and have sex with me?"

Eli smirked, pulling off his jeans and I couldn't help but glare at his boner and he pushed me back onto my back, "I will shut up, on two conditions."

"What?" I asked, cluelessly, just in dire need of release from this foreign tension as he pulled back a curl behind my ear.

His cool breath hit my face when he whispered, "When we're done, I stay the night and tomorrow, we can say that we 'made love', not had sex."

"You run a hard bargain Goldsworthy, but uh, I think I just might have to take you up on that," I said while wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him down to me, to create more friction.

Eli continued to suck on my earlobe as I let my lips part, a moan escaping them every time he bit down on my sensitive flesh. I hissed as he started to rock back and forth against my inner thighs, making my throat grow dry.

"E-Eli, can we not dry hump and just get straight to it?" I asked nervously, wondering what he would say.

He smirked and said, "A-alright, let's do this."

Great…well, here goes nothing.

My thumbs leaned inside the corners of the sides of his boxers, slowly pulling them down, too afraid to look at what would reveal behind them as I glared up into his eyes and couldn't help but notice that he was staring back at me, watching my every move.

He kissed my temple as his boxers were soon off and I felt his cool fingertips ghost the line of my underwear line. I gulped when he looked down, but I kept my eyes up, glaring at his eyelids.

I heard Eli sigh as my underwear joined his boxers and I gulped nervously, "O-okay Eli, do it."

"If I were you, I'd lean up a little and just relax," he whispered as I listened to him by leaning up to wrap my arms around his neck securely and I felt his cock press up gently against me.

My heart was beating so fast, it had to be a mile a minute from this feeling of 'highness' that my best friend was giving me…

I gasped and shouted, "Wait!"

His heart was beating erratically against mine as I backed up to look into his eyes, "You have a condom on, right?"

Eli scoffed and said, "Duh, god Clare have a little trust in me...I would never have sex with you without protection...and besides, why would your best friend do that to you?"

I smirked and said, "Last night I didn't know that'd I'd be sitting in my room with you, with your cock pressed up against me and look at where we are now..."

Eli smiled and asked, "Who said it was pressed up against you?" I gripped onto Eli's neck as he plunged into me, not warning me at all, as I felt the tight barrier break in between my legs.

I opened my mouth, trying to take a deep breath and I whimpered, "F-fuck."

"See, the worst part is over...now, just relax," he told me as I laughed, tears running down my face and I said, "You're not the one with a ten inch cock being shoved up their body!"

He smirked and whispered against my ear, "I'm glad you think it's that big."

Eli started to move inside me while kissing my lips tenderly, his actions speaking louder than words as I whimpered against his earlobe, cool breath hitting his skin, making him shudder inside of me, "I was being sarcastic."

"Oh really?" He asked, groaning, while pushing harder into me, causing me to squeak.

"Don't do that!" I screeched while digging my nails into his skin, causing him to hiss in my ear and he began to move slower. His thrusts had now gone from torturous, to enjoyable in three minutes.

A drop of sweat fell from Eli's face as I asked teasingly, "Too much work for Eli?"

"N-no," he stuttered while continuing, "I-I'm just close."

It took me a second to process this as I moaned in response, feeling Eli's hand roam up to my right breast and squeeze it tightly in his hand and I slapped his hand away lightly, out of instinct, "What? I'm not going to end this by touching my own chest...this is why you're here!"

I scoffed and took his hand back to my right breast, placing it over and I asked, "Better?"

"Much," he said while slamming me back down onto the bed, gripping my neglected breast with his other hand and I could feel his pinching, rubbing, licking and thrusting getting to my body as I felt the pool of heat inside me getting close to exploding.

"O-oh god," I whimpered and said, "F-faster."

He smirked and said, "THE Elijah Goldsworthy making THE Clare Edwards stutter in pleasure, I'm honored."

I watched as Eli thrusted into me harder, pounding roughly inside me because of the quick pace he was going, trying to reach his peak as I arched my back in pleasure and he gripped my body tightly against him.

"I-I'm almost there, harder," I begged as he went as hard as he could while I felt his lips suck on my neck.

My eyes rolled into the back of my head, arching my body back as Eli licked my jaw line while I felt my insides explode with pleasure. My walls clenched and unclenched around him as I reached my climax, experiencing my first orgasm.

Eli's chest heaved as he screamed out my name and I giggled, covering his mouth because of how loud he was as he bit down on my hand playfully and I screeched, "Ouch, Eli!"

He smirked and I used my fingers to gently move his bangs that were sticking to his forehead, to the side and I giggled, glancing into his lust filled eyes, "W-we did it."

Eli slowly pulled out of me gently, as a strange throbbing feeling over took between my legs. My back slammed onto the bed exhaustingly as I heard a snap, a hiss from Eli and then something hitting the trashcan.

My eyes roamed around the dark, sex smelling room and in the dim light coming from the moon outside my window, it was in fact the condom that Eli used.

He didn't lie to me, so, that's…good.

I pulled the sheets over me and Eli took the other half of the sheets, as we split the blanket on top of us.

He smirked and said, "Y-yeah Clare, we did."

I gulped and said, "That was...wow."

"Eh, it wasn't that much of a big deal though," Eli said and I continued, "Y-yeah, you're right...I don't know what the big deal was."

I turned my head, looked at Eli, who had been staring up at the wall, as if he was hypnotized. When he glanced back to look at me, I moved my head so I was glaring up at the ceiling.

"You know," I said as I moved to my side, glaring into his eyes, "I don't think I could've chosen anyone else better to this with...other than you."

He gulped, turning onto his side to be facing me as he moved his cool hand on my bicep, rubbing up and down gently while whispering, "Me too."

"I think we are the best sex couple ever," I said and he smirked, "Considering I've never had a sex partner, then I guess you are my top one yet."

I smirked, glancing at his lips and I whispered, "You know, this doesn't change anything between us...right?"

"Y-yeah, o-of course."
