Okay, so, wow…I had no idea y'all were still so interested in this story, but I love that you are. Now that my other sequel is complete, I can really focus on this sequel…YAY! I'm excited just thinking about it.
Clare's POV
Right now Bullfrog and Cece were checking in at the front desk of this quite fancy hotel. I had no idea they were going to make it like this, I mean, yeah I know Eli and I are celebrating our six month anniversary, but geez this place is indescribable! What will Eli do for our one year anniversary? That thought was on my mind, and let me tell you it was almost…scary too. I can't explain it, it was just…
"Boo!" I jumped back in surprise, "ah!" Tripping over my luggage and landing right on my butt. When I looked up I saw Eli right there at my aid. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry, Clare. I didn't mean to make you fall down." I know he meant well, but that still hurt. I pouted a little before getting up and brushing myself off.
I got my stuff and walked over to where Cece was. "Oh, Clare, dear I was thinking that we could-oh! What happened to your arm?" My arm? I looked down and sure enough there was a scrape. I sighed. "I tripped over my things and fell down." I decided not to tell her that Eli scared me and that is what caused it, because I knew that he would have gotten into trouble, even more now because I am somewhat hurt.
"Eli! Eli!" Cece called out, he ran over immediately. He looked nervous, he probably expected that I told on him. "Clare tripped and got hurt, there is a drug store right across the street. Take her there and buy some first aid stuff." Eli looked over at me with his eyebrows scrunched then back to his mom.
"Don't we have a first aid kit with us?" Cece laughed. "Yes, but it isn't right here right now, and your dad is arguing with the front desk guy…you know what that means." Eli nodded, while stood there still wondering what in the world they were talking about. "Yeah, I get it, we'll be standing here for three hours minimum." I gasped but Cece agreed with him. Wow. Three hours minimum? Oh well, it isn't like I have anything to do, really, anyway.
"Okay, then, let's go, Clare." I nodded and handed Cece everything but one bag that had my wallet and phone and stuff like that in it. We walked out of the hotel and started to walk across the street. It wasn't hard to get across at all because this street was almost deserted. I noticed thought, that ever since I fell Eli has become a bit distance, and I have no idea why.
When we got to the drug store about thirty seconds later, the old lady at the counter greeted us in. It wasn't a big store, it was about the size of a gas station stop…you know where they sell candy, drinks, chips, things like that. Eli went straight to the first aid stuff picked some stuff out then checked out. It seemed like he was moving at a fast pace, which was weird.
"That bear is such a darling thing! Adorable." The old lady said to Eli, he looked confused at first but then looked down, and realized that Love was still in his pocket. Eli smiled at the old woman, "It was a present to her…I'm just holding it for right now." His words had meaning but the tone he said it in, was like I don't give a crap.
"Do you have a restroom? So she can clean her cut?" The old lady nodded with concern and told us where it was. We thanked her then walked over there. I noticed that they were all one stalled, and they had a men's, women's, and a family one. So when Eli wasn't expecting it I pulled him into the family one with me.
"What are you doing?" He asked in a monotone. I looked up at him, his eyes were different too. "I want you to help me." I spoke very clearly and told him bluntly what I wanted, just so he couldn't refuse. "Don't you know how to do this yourself?" He now almost sounded annoyed, it probably is best to not push it. "If you don't want to do it, never mind. I'll do it myself." I started to open the package but then I felt Eli behind me.
He wrapped his arms around me and opened the package. "I want to." He whispered in my ear…sounding, well, sounding like Eli. I turned around and hopped onto the counter top. As he cleaned my cut I told him, "You can tell me anything, you know?" He smiled and nodded while still looking down at my arm. "I know."
I smiled slightly, but then stopped when I realized he was still not telling me. I stilled his hands with mine and forced him to look at me. "What's bothering you? Please tell me." He sighed and shook his head. "It doesn't matter." I hopped off of the counter, but kept him really close. He had his hands on the counter, leaning on me. "Yes, it does."
"It's just-" he sighed, "after you fell I apologized and it seemed like you didn't even care that I was and am truly sorry for scaring you so much. All you did was get up and go straight to my mom. You didn't even say anything to me…so I felt like you were really mad at me for scaring you." I instantly felt bad, I didn't even realize until now, when he said it, that I didn't say anything back to him. I completely understand now why he was acting so strangely.
"I'm sorry." I said seriously. "I didn't even realize that I did that until now. I feel so bad, I'm not mad. I was just hurt…and by that I mean physically hurt." He laughed, I should have worded that better, but it did put a smile on his face, so maybe it wasn't all bad. "I love you, Eli, with all my heart." He smiled at me. "I love you too."
"Not with all your heart?" He laughed. "Nope, with all my body." My eyes widened and my cheeks turned the darkest shade of red imaginable. "Can I ask you something?" He smiled down at me and whispered, "Anything."
"Since it is our six month anniversary and we are in Paris…do you want to have sex with me?" It was so hard to get that out. I was beyond nervous and not to mention the embarrassment that was coursing through me. I leaned my forehead against his chest. I felt him wrap his arms around me and hold me tightly.
"Do I want to? Of course, I do, Clare. Will I actually do it? Only if you tell me that you are one-hundred percent ready for that, and I and you know that you are sure. I'm not about to be something you regret, Clare." He told me softly. "Why did you ask that, because you feel as if you are starting to be ready for that, or because you think I want it, and we have to do it to stay together?" I smile at his words; he is always so sweet with this situation.
"The first one." I mumbled into him. He placed both of his hands on either side of my face and forced me to look at him. "What did you say, I didn't understand that." I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my forehead on his. "I said…the first one." His eyes and entire face lit up like the lights on a Christmas tree. "Really?" He asked. I laughed at him and nodded.
"Not like right now…but soon, very soon." He twirled me around in a circle in the tiny space that we were in. Eh, it is the thought that counts, right? "Like soon, on this vacation soon?" He asked after putting me down. I tilted my head to the side and replied. "Like on this vacation soon."
And scene! Had to do it…even though stupid Jake Martin said it, it was still like one of the best lines they have ever had on Degrassi. Made me laugh my butt off! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I know you reviewed for the third chapter already…but can you review anon or on another chapter? It would be awesome if you could!
