"Must you argue with my reasoning?" Eli questioned
"Well, I think your way of trying to 'get a girl' is stupid, not to mention, most likely to fail."
Clare and Eli were sitting on the swings of an old park, having a conversation about how you win a girl/ boy.
"Okay, master of everything, share me your knowledge about what girls like guys to do." Eli stopped swaying slightly on the swing and got up to look Clare in the eye.
"Well, girls like when guys are nice and caring. Guys that don't try to pressure them into anything they don't want to do." Clare got off of her swing and stood almost eyelevel to Eli. Eli moved a tad closer to Clare. "Mhm, keep going." Eli said to Clare.
"Girls also like when guys listen, which you wont have a problem with. You almost always listen to me." Eli tilted his head down slightly and smiled a little. "Oh, so you think I'm a good listener?" Eli took a step closer to Clare. Clare noticed this and look at her feet to hide her blushing.
"Yes. I do think you're a good listener."
"Oh, well go on."
"Um, girls li- like it when guys are, um, caring, and-"
"You said that already" Eli was now at least a foot away from Clare.
"Oh, um sorry. Anyway, gir-" Eli had hooked his pinky finger on Clare's. "Girls like it when guys are sensitive, too."
"I'm a sensitive guy, sorta. Right?" Eli was now so close to Clare, she could smell his cologne. "Y-yeah." Clare answered. He breath was unsteady, and she was blushing like crazy.
"You're cute when you blush." Eli took Clare's hand and looked at each finger, noticing her purity ring.
"Th-thanks." Eli looked Clare in the eye as he took the palm of her hand and kissed her wrist. Clare gasped. "What? Do I smell like a dead body? Because, I swear, I don't carry any dead bodies in Morty." He laughed. Clare could now smell his minty breath.
"I like you, Clare."
"I like you too, Eli"
"Good. Then you wont mind me doing something like this." At that, Eli took Clare's waist and pulled her close to him and pressed his lips to hers in one quick movement. Clare was going through so many feelings right now. Shock, relief, happiness, slight embarrassment (for she's blushing like crazy, now.)
Eli slowly took his right hand to cup Clare's face, as Clare toyed with the hair on the back of Eli's neck.
Eli broke the kiss and stared into Clare's blue eyes.
"So you think my technique to 'woo' a girl doesn't work?" Eli smirked
"Well, now that you gave a lovely demonstration, I guess it does work."
"Clare, it wasn't just a demonstration." Eli leaned in a gave Clare another kiss, but this time Clare broke away to answer her phone."
"Hello? Oh, um, hi mom…I'm, um, with my English partner. We're um reading over this report I did. Yes, I'll be home soo- OKAY, mom! Yeah, I know. I will! Bye!" Clare hung up, and gave Eli a look that said well-we-gotta-go-obviously-so-get-in-the-car-and-drive-NOW
