Wow…sorry it's been so long y'all! Didn't mean to keep you hanging this long. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Grace stared at Eli standing in front of him.
"Um…hey…Grace…" He sounded nervous and kept his hands in his pockets.
"Um hi…"
"Grace…who is at the door?" Lily screamed down to her daughter.
"Nobody…I've got it don't worry…" She yelled back and closed the door standing inches from Eli outside on the door step.
"What are you doing on my doorstep at 11 in the morning…?" She asked a little annoyed.
"Wow…someone didn't sleep well last night…" He said noticing her attitude.
"Who me? I slept great…I just don't know what I owe you after you sat there and let me be humiliated last night…then again I expect nothing more from you, you're Eli Sammler after all…" She turned around to go back inside but his arm on hers stopped her.
"What's that supposed to mean…?" She turned around.
"You know exactly what that means…" He looked at her and before she could say something more his lips were on hers, his tongue prying her mouth open, seeking his entrance. Grace didn't have time to resist him, but finally gaining her senses she pulled back. "What are you doing…?" She asked.
"I don't know…what's wrong…you don't want me to kiss you?"
"I didn't say that…it's just…"
"I'm Eli Sammler…" He stated rather than ask her…he knew what she meant.
"I have to go…I'm spending the weekend at my father's…"
"When will I be able to see you then…?"
"I don't know, how about in school, you'll be able to make fun of me and pretend none of this ever happened…"
"And if I don't want too…?"
"Eli…I have to go, I'm going to be late as it is…" She turned around and opened the door.
"Can I call you…?" She sighed loudly and turned, looking him in the eyes, she couldn't say no…it was Eli…the boy she'd crushed on since she could remember. She nodded and he immediately pulled out his cell phone and programmed her cell phone number into it.
"Happy now…?" She asked slightly annoyed.
"Very…have fun with your dad this weekend…" He said and hugged her.
"Yeah…real likely to happen…" She mumbled as he walked away. She stepped inside and couldn't hide the smile that she'd been trying to hide since Eli kissed her.
"Grace Manning…what on earth are you smiling over…?" She shook herself out of her day dream when she heard her mother speaking to her.
"Oh…nothing…just thinking about something…"
"Well hurry up and finish getting ready, your father will be here any minute."
"Okay…okay, I'm going…I'm going…" She hurried upstairs and packed herself a bag for the night with her dad. Zoë was lucky enough to be spending the evening with her friend so she didn't have to spend the night with her dad…it's not that Grace didn't love her dad…she does…she just hates having to share parent's back and forth between homes. In the back of her head she'd always hoped her parent's would get together again but every time she had to spend a weekend with her father she saw more clearly that wasn't going to happen.
"Grace…!" She heard her mom hollering and knew her dad was waiting in the car for her. She grabbed her things, her phone and headed downstairs. "Don't forget I have a date tonight so I won't be home but you can still call and leave me a message before bed…" She said and Grace rolled her eyes.
"I'm not 12 mom…"
"I know…" She kissed her and Grace headed out the door and into the car where her father was waiting.
"Eli, you and you're sister are on your own for dinner…don't burn the house down and look after her! I don't want to hear you ditched her because all your friends were over." Rick Sammler yelled to his son through the closed bedroom door…music blaring on the other side. The music turned down low and the door opened…
"Where are you going…?" Eli emerged asking.
"I have a date tonight…"
"Whoa…dad actually has a date…?" Jessie Sammler said coming up behind her father having just exited her bedroom.
"Very funny…" Eli and Jessie shared an amused look. "I have to go…I don't want this place trashed when I get home…"
"Yeah yeah…don't stay out too late and don't do anything I wouldn't do…" Eli called after as his father made his way down the stairs and out the front door. Jessica headed back into her room and Eli collapsed on his bed pulling out his cell phone deciding to call Grace…little did he know they'd be getting to know each other a lot more soon…not the way Eli had in mind either.
