Well this WAS going to be a one shot but whatever :)
As me and Clare made it back to her apartment the rain got heavy and our clothes were sticking to our bodies I held on to her hand tightly I was afraid if I let go she would disappear. We made it inside and the warmth of the complex was a relief Clare walked to the elevator I watched as her hips moved from side to side when she walked to me she was a beautiful piece of art that I wanted all for myself.
When they made it up to her place she walked over to the thermostat and adjusted it "Do you need any clothes?" she said as she threw a towel at me and she dabbed her hair and face. "Nah I'll just stay in my soaked clothes Clare." I said sarcastically she rolled her eyes at me and went down the hall. Her Apartment was nice it was 'Clare' the with lofty walls and the modern kitchen was all her it was very, very clean that made me question if she even really lived here
She walked back in the living room wearing sweat pants and a giant t shirt she threw some clothes at me "I like to sleep in guy clothes so you can wear these." She said with a smile
They were grey sweats and a white v-neck "where is the bathroom?" I asked "what you aren't going to change here are you shy Eli?" she said jokingly I went to take my shirt off and she scurried over to me pushing on my chest "bathroom is down the hall tough guy!" she said pushing me down the hall I grabbed her arms and pulled her in the bathroom with me I fell back on the rug and she fell on top of me I smiled at her and kissed her nose
"You just can't keep your hands off me can you Edwards?" she got off me and scoffed
"Don't be so full of yourself Goldsworthy." she helped me up and walked out of the door. I looked at myself in the mirror her blue walls and cinnamon candle helping me relax I couldn't believe I was here with Clare "I will NOT screw this up." I said to myself in the mirror. "Eli have you found a place to stay?" I had realized that I hadn't "Um no not yet why?" I said back to her wadding my wet clothes together and putting them in her laundry room.
"You can stay here…if you want its fine if you don't want to I mean." She stopped talking and looked up at me holding two mugs.
"I'd love to." I replied taking one of the cups from her hands and taking a sip "you make a nice cup of tea Edwards." She blushed and put her hand on my chest. "I missed you." She said quietly I felt my heart break I had caused her so much pain and she still took me back she still loved me I wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head "I missed you so much more." I said holding her close to me her warmth was something my life had been lacking for so long I had been in the dark in the cold
Life without her was too much life without Clare well there was no such thing.
