"What do you want to do?" I asked, feeling Adam elbow me. I didn't realize it was so flirty.
"I don't know," Clare said, suddenly shy.
"Oh yeah. Clare this is Adam. Adam this is Clare," I said, introducing them a little too late.
"Hi, Clare," Adam said, smiling.
"Hi," She replied.
"Want to go eat?" I asked them. Clare shrugged and Adam nodded.
"I'm starving," He said.
"I'm good," She said, gesturing to her hand that had a milkshake in it.
"That won't do," I said, standing up and throwing my cigarette on the ground. The followed me inside The Dot to a table with three chairs.
"I'll have a tuna wrap and anything you have that has a lot of garlic," I said to the waiter, Peter. Clare raised an eyebrow at me in confusion. "The smell on my breath," I said, sounding like it was obvious.
"Mhm," She nodded her head. "I'll, uh, have a burger," She said.
"I'll have two burgers and fries with a milkshake," Adam said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"What about the smell on your clothes?" Clare asked me when Peter left.
"Hm, I'm thinking that we walked by a group of guys smoking," I said. She rolled her eyes.
"Julia isn't that naive, Eli." She said.
"It's worked before," I said. She shook her head and laughed. I jumped, feeling my phone vibrating.
"Hello?" I answered it.
"Elijah Goldsworthy, where the hell are you?" I heard Julia's voice on the other end of the phone. I groaned.
"I'm with Adam," I said.
"Where are you?" She repeated, clearly not accepting the answer I gave her.
"Adam has to go shopping for Fi, so we're at the grocery store. Do you need anything?" I asked her. Adam's glare burned into the side of my head.
"No. Thanks, sweetie. I love you," She said, hanging up the phone.
"Do you always have to drag me into this?" Adam asked.
"Okay, I panicked. What if she found me here with Clare?" I asked him. Clare blushed. "Sorry," I said to her.
"Are you and Julia... Okay?" She asked me.
"Is it really that obvious?" I asked. She shook her head.
"She started talking to me about it after you left," She said.
"She doesn't want to marry me?" I asked her, whispering.
"She didn't say that, but she doesn't feel the same way that she used to feel about you," She said.
"That's awesome," I said. Clare looked at me, confused.
"What?" She asked.
"I feel the same exact way," I said. She smiled at me. "What should I do about it?" I asked, leaning closer to Clare, making sure no one overheard.
"I don't know. A lot of people just call off the wedding," She said, matching my movements and moving closer.
Adam coughed, causing us to blush, realizing how close we were. I smirked at her and Adam coughed again. "What?" I asked.
"Just. Sick," Adam said, sneaking a hint into it. He knew I wanted Clare. "The food's here, by the way," He added. I looked at my plate and pushed it away. I faced Clare again.
"So do I break up with Julia?" I asked, turning away from Adam.
"Follow your heart," She said. Her fair skin turned scarlet when our eyes met.
"My heart?" I asked. She nodded slowly. "My heart is telling me something crazy right now. Should I still follow it?"
"Whatever you think is right," She said. My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest.
"Whatever I think is right? Or what I know is right?" I said. She looked at me again and blushed.
"Elijah!" I heard Julia's voice. "You liar. I called Fiona and she said Adam came to meet you here," She came to the table and gasped. "Clare?" She said, shocked.
