When I woke up, I couldn't help but smile. Eli had asked me out! Alli looked at me questioningly.
Alli said, "Why are you so happy? Did you have vampire dreams about Eli? Clare, you naughty little girl!" I threw my pillow at her. She always made fun of me for making those vampire fan fictions. She would never let that go.
I said, "No, Alli! Last night, when you were sleeping Eli texted me!" We both squealed! Sav yelled at us from upstairs. We both laughed, and Alli pulled me onto the couch.
"OHMYGOD! What did he say?" She was crazy when it came to boys and relationships.
"He told me that he was still thinking about me, and then he asked me out!" She screamed again. Then she hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe.
"Okay, let's go to the mall and get you something sexy to wear." I stopped her. I wasn't going to dress provocatively because Eli had asked me out.
"No, Alli, I'm not going to wear something slutty because he asked me out. I'm going to wear something comfortable. We're just watching a movie; it's nothing that special."
"Clare, are you serious? Fine, but at least let me help you find something to wear at your house?" I nodded, agreeing to her compromise. She was my best friend, but I didn't always agree with her choice of style. Sav drove Alli and me to my house. I noticed that my dad's car wasn't there again. I wasn't really surprised, just somewhat disappointed.
We ran up the stairs to my room to find something for my date. As Alli was looking through my closet. My phone vibrated.
One new text message from Eli: you can come over at 7. Is that okay?
Me: yeah! That sounds great. cant wait! seeya later!
Eli: me neither… bye clare!
Alli decided that my dark-washed blue skinny jeans and a white v-neck would work. It wasn't anything too revealing, and I loved my skinny jeans. After eating dinner with my mom and Alli, Alli left, and I got dressed for my date.
My mom wasn't exactly thrilled when I told her that I was going to a boy's house, but she agreed to dropping me off. I figured Eli could probably drive me home, so I told her I'd be home around 11:30. I kissed her cheek and ran up to the door because it was starting to drizzle. I knocked on the door and was surprised to find Eli wearing a green Dead Hand shirt and sweatpants. He smiled at me and pulled me inside before I became drenched by the rain. Even when wearing sweatpants, he still managed to look amazing.
His parents weren't home, and I was okay with that. He led me down to his basement where I found his collection of comic books and guitars. I didn't think he'd be into music, but it was just one more thing that I added to my list.
"So… what do you want to watch? I've got lots of horror films, action-thrillers, and some comedies." He was pointing everything out, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by his biceps. He would point things out, and I became transfixed. I guess he noticed that I wasn't really listening because he started to laugh.
"Like what you see, Edwards?" I blushed and looked down.
"You wish, Goldsworthy." I wasn't going to let him win that easily. I started to walk towards the scary movies, and as he moved to the side, I realized how close we were. I started to blush again and stepped backwards towards the couch, tripping over his foot.
I found myself on the ground with Elijah Goldsworthy holding himself up on top of me. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't move, and he wasn't budging.
Breaking the silence, I said, "Umm… why don't you just pick a scary movie." He kept staring at me with those green eyes, and I found myself not wanting to look away. Eventually he smirked and pulled himself up off the ground. He put his hand out, so I would get up easily. As I grabbed his hand, I felt something that I had never felt before. There was some sort of spark when he touched me; it was electrifying.
He smiled and said, "Let's watch Friday the 13th. I hope it doesn't scare you." He winked at me. I felt myself turn red again. I wonder if he knew what he did to me? He pulled the DVD out of the case and inserted it before joining me on the couch. He sat close to me, but he wasn't on top of me, just close enough that if he wanted to, he could put his arm around me.
I said, "Do you really think that this movie is going to scare me? I'll bet you that I won't get scared." He looked at me as I put my hand out to shake his.
He said, "So… if you get scared, then you have to do whatever I want, and if you don't get scared, then I'll do whatever you want. I'll take that challenge, Edwards. Get ready to scream." he smirked at me after shaking my hand, thinking he was going to win easily. I was praying that I wouldn't scream, but somehow, I realized I had set myself up for disaster.
Eli turned the lights down and sat next to me, this time a little bit closer. The music started to the movie, and I could feel my heart already racing. It was going to be a long movie.
SO? What'd you guys think? I need opinions! If I get some reviews, maybe I'll even post another chapter today! Thanks for reading!
