I am going to be honest. I was a little nervous when I saw that I didn't have any reviews. I then realized that I posted the first chapter of this on the season premier of Degrassi so then I was like okay. Then the next day BOOM! I had a ton of reviews! So thanks everyone! You all are fantastic! I am also sorry that I didn't update sooner, I was sick the past couple of days and just didn't feel up to it. But I feel better today so I thought I should give you a chapter!

Clare's POV

I jolted awake when I felt the plan jerk. I sat straight up and started breathing heavily. I am okay with heights and I'm fine with the airplane in general but it always scares me when there is turbulence. I felt someone's hands on my shoulders. I didn't need to look to know for sure that it was Eli, not just because he is sitting next to me but because I can tell by his hands.

"It's okay." He whispered in my ear while rubbing my shoulders to try and get me to calm down. I was a little more relaxed but still jumped when the plane started to shake yet again. I heard Eli chuckle and for the first time tonight I looked back at him and glared.

"It's not funny." He stopped laughing once I said, more like barked, it quietly.

"I'm sorry. You're right." He put his hands up in defense. The plane shook again and then we heard the captain say,

"Hey all of you passengers! We are in a bit of turbulence. Just make sure you stay seated and keep your seat belt buckled." Then there was silence. It had to be pretty early in the morning considering it was still dark. 3:00am maybe? I sighed and sat back into my seat. I tried to get comfortable and then all of a sudden my seat belt unlocks. I gasped and tried to buckle it again but it just wouldn't go in. I tapped Eli frantically on the shoulder.

"Eli. Eli. Eli." It was like I was chanting his name which he probably enjoyed. He looked over at me with that stupid yet amazing smirk on his face.

"Yes, dear?" He teased. I glared at him again.

"Wipe that stupid smirk off your face and help me! I'm going to die." Okay, so maybe I was being a little overdramatic but I just wanted my seat belt to be safely buckled. He laughed at me.

"You're such a drama queen." I heard him mutter as he grabbed the seat belt from my hands. I smacked him on the back of his head. It was easy to do considering his head was down trying to buckle me back in. He looked up at me with those great green eyes of his and I just melted.

"I forgive you." I whispered to him. He looked up at me and gave me a confused look.

"I didn't apologize." He replied.

"You did. You just didn't say it out loud, but don't worry I heard it." I pointed out. He smirked once more at me before going back to the task at hand. Finally, after what seemed like hours, he got it to buckle. He pulled away from me and smiled.

"There you go." He said sweetly before turning away. I had this strange feeling that something was wrong, he was hiding it well but I could tell that something was off with him. I touched his shoulder again and he looked back at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked him. He smiled but I saw right through it.

"F-fine." He responded as the plane shook again. I then realized what the matter was.

"You don't like the turbulence very much, huh?" I questioned in a soft sweet tone. He shook his head.

"I hate it but I'm trying to not show it because I know you are scared of it." He explained. That makes me feel really good. To know he would put his fears aside to make sure that I'm okay it made me feel all warm inside. I snuggled up to him and he layed his head right about my breasts. I gently rubbed his head.

"Eli, that is probably one of the sweetest things ever but you don't have to pretend. I can take care of you every once in a while. We are in a relationship and even know the guy protects his girl doesn't mean the girl can't protect her guy." I explained to him. He smiled softly.

"Thank you so much. That means the world." He muttered before burying his face into me. The plane shook again but Eli didn't this time. I looked down and saw that he was fast asleep. Poor thing, must have been exhausted. I didn't even know it. I grabbed Love and stuffed him into Eli's front pocket on his shirt. I gave Eli a quick peck on the head before closing my eyes.

"I love you, Eli." I murmured before falling fast asleep. The second time I woke up was from the captain announcing that we would be landing in about an hour and a half and we were on-time. I sighed in contentment. I looked over at Eli and he was staring at me. I couldn't read his expression so I was a bit worried I did something wrong. I went through the past couple of hours, before I went to sleep, and I couldn't think of a thing that he could be mad about.

"Eli, what did I do?" I asked hesitantly. He smiled and shook his head.

"You look gorgeous." He responded. I tilted my head to the side and bit my lip. I felt a blush creeping onto my cheeks when I muttered,

"Thanks." Eli chuckled a bit.

"You know how I told you I love you with bed head?" I nodded at him. "I think I love this look even more." He told me with a bright smile.

"Eli, what is it? What do I look like?" I asked frantically while trying to find my mirror Once I found it I looked into it. Every strand of my hair was sticking out in a different place. I looked horrible, to say it nicely.

"Eli I look like crap." I exclaimed quietly. He shook his head in disagreement.

"You look gorgeous." He repeated and then kissed me. I pulled away.

"Why would you want to kiss this?" I asked pointing to my face.

"This," He started pointing to my face. "So happens to be my beautiful girlfriend whom I'm in love with and will kiss at any time I please. Whether she is all dressed up or just woke up in an airplane." He finished before kissing me again. This time I let him and I didn't pull away. I mean who would? That was totally sweet! Gosh, I'm such a girl! But I bet that is one of Eli's favorite things about me.

Eli's POV

I back away from kissing Clare for just a second before kissing her again. She giggled into my mouth and let me tell you I loved it. Who knew that a simple vibration from her could make my entire body go numb? I felt amazing when I backed away again. I kept my forehead pressed against hers and our lips only centimeters apart, taunting her. But in reality they were taunting me even more.

"Is it just me or do your kisses get better and better each time?" I asked her playfully.

"Well, maybe. What can I say, I have a good instructor." She responded before kissing me again. Woah, where did that come from? I have no idea but I certainly do like it. I kissed her back until the plane shook again. Great!

"Hey, baby boy, are you okay? I forgot you don't like that too much." Cece asked. Now she asked? Clare took care of that last night!

"I'm fine. I have Clare." I pulled Clare to me and kissed the top of her head. She giggled and snuggled into me. I looked down at her but then noticed that in my pocket was Love. Clare's little stuffed bear that was wearing a ladybug costume.

"Clare, why is this thing in my pocket?" I asked her. She looked at me and scoffed while rolling her eyes.

"First of all, Eli, it is not this thing. His name is Love." Now I rolled my eyes.

"It's not like the thing has feelings." I responded. She glared at me.

"His name is Love." She said. I sighed and then corrected myself.

"Fine. Love doesn't have feelings." Clare started laughing like mad. I love her laugh. It is so contagious that I started to laugh. I didn't even know what was funny to her and I was laughing. That is what this girl does to me. Makes me act all crazy and do things you wouldn't believe. I guess that is what you do when you are in love. It is kind of weird, you know, to be in love with someone. But I wouldn't trade a second of it.

"What is so funny?" I asked once our laughter had died down.

"It's just you said Love doesn't have any feelings but the word love is a feeling." She started laughing again and so did I. At least I knew why we were laughing this time. That is better!

"I love you." She told me suddenly and it made my heart pound erratically in my chest. We have been together for almost six months and still when she says that I get nervous.

"I love you too." I told her before grabbing her face and giving her kisses everywhere but her lips. She hates when I do this but I love it and I think she secretly loves it too. She put her hands on my chest and I thought 'uh oh'. She smiled a bit.

"Why are you so nervous?" She asked me. I sighed before smirking a small smirk to try and hide the nerves. I remained quiet for quite some time.

"Eli? Is everything alright?" She questioned with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm fine. I just don't like you knowing that you still make me nervous after so long." I admitted. I can't believe I just told her that! She is going to hate me.

"Now I know I'm not alone." She simply stated and smiled up at me. I smiled back down at her.

"I actually find it kind of flattering." She said while touching her hand to her chest for dramatic effect.

"Did I mention you are a drama queen?" I asked teasingly.

"Oh please! I am not!" She defended.

"Correction, you are! May I remind you that you were freaking out yesterday before we left for the airport?" She started to pout. Oh man I love this so much. She is just so adorable I could just eat her. No, not like that! You know what I mean!

"I do not." She said again. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't worry, I still love you." I whispered in her ear. She pushed me away.

"I'm going to the bathroom." She announced to me. I nodded.

"Do you want me to walk with you?" I asked.

"No, there might be turbulence and I want you to stay seated if there is." She replied. Well that is thoughtful.

"I'm fine. I want to come." I told her standing up. We walked back there and she went into one of the open ones. I stood in front of the door. After a minute the plane started to shake. Don't ask me how but since I was leaning on the door it unlocked and I fell into the bathroom. Thank goodness Clare was finished. It was a small space and Clare and I were pressed into each other tightly. I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers for a brief second. She was blushing madly.

"Eli, what are you doing in here?" She questioned me. I knew it looked wrong and bad but it was innocent really! Obviously.

"Somehow the door unlocked and I fell into well here." I pointed around the way too small area. "You believe me right?" I asked.

"Of course, Eli. Of course I believe you. I have no reason not to." She said. I sighed happily.

"You are too good for me, I swear." I told her. She giggled and pushed me out of the tiny space. We walked back to our seats and once we sat down she told me,

"Nope, there is no such thing." I smiled at her.

"Stay seated and be sure to keep seat belts buckled. We are now going down to land." The announcement rang through our ears. I held Clare's hand in mine and gave it a gentle squeeze. About twenty minutes later I saw that we were landing. It was noisy and not a pleasant experience. I cringed and the loud noise of the tires hitting the road. Clare squeezed my hand even tighter. I looked over at her and she mouthed that it was okay. I smiled. Leave it to Clare to make me feel better in a time like this. We finally stopped and I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding in.

"See? You're alive." Clare joked and I laughed a bit. Surprisingly so.

"That I did." I agreed.

"Okay, kiddies, let us get going!" Bullfrog announced.

"Kiddies? What are we two?" I mocked.

"In my eyes, always." Cece responded.

"Okay okay. Let's get off this wicked thing." I said.

"Wow, you really don't like airplanes do you?" Clare asked.

"It's not so much the airplane. I don't know. It is hard to explain." I sigh in defeat. Clare interlaced our fingers and she kissed me on the cheek.

"Don't worry, I still love you." She said repeating my words from earlier.

"Good. I love you too." I told her. As we were walking out Bullfrog asked,

"Why is that thing in your pocket?" He was referring to Love.

"It isn't that thing his name is Love and please don't ask." I responded with a chuckle. Clare giggled as well at my parent's confused faces. They shrugged it off though.

"Well, let's go!" We all got our luggage and then we walked out of the airport. There was a translator just outside, thank goodness, that got us a taxi type thing. Our cab driver could also speak some pretty good English which was good.

"Well, Welcome to Paris, France!" He announced. Clare squealed and kissed me. And as always I kissed her back. It's funny I think I have kissed her more times today than I ever have. I laughed inwardly at the thought. We pulled away and Clare said,

"I love you."

"I love you too." I responded.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was talking to Love." She said giving this bear a kiss on the nose.

"Really?" I asked.

"Really, but I love you too." She replied.

"You better." I warned while pointing a finger at her.

"I do." She said. We were wrapped up in our own little world that we didn't even realize that we were at our hotel. We got out of the car while my parents paid the driver.

"This is so much fun already!" Clare exclaimed. I laughed at her but nodded my head.

"It is indeed."

Okay so this was pretty awful. I don't have writers block it just wasn't good. I'm so sorry! I didn't want it to be. But review for me anyway! PLEASE!
