Whoa! Long chapter, I hope you like. :D

Please enjoy this chapter of Brotherly Figure!

It was a hot summer day at the Edwards house. Clare Edwards and her friend Alli were gossiping, giggling, and texting their other friends. Today was a lazy day for them, but they didn't mind. The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars would be the perfect song for them today. Sometimes it's a good thing that it's a Saturday. Right?

Alli squealed once she texted a mystery person. That Mystery person must be pretty special, cause it's not even day you see Alli Bhandari getting excited over a boy, oh who am I kidding? She practically flirts with every guy!

"Clare! You will no believe who just texted me asking if you were single!" Alli giggled excitedly, bouncing up and down on the carpet. Clare laughed at her friend, and shook her head.

"Who Alli, who's texting you?" Clare asked, her voice full of concern. She really wanted to know who it could be, not a lot of guys like 'Saint' Clare.

"Declan Coyne!" She yelled out, grinning like a fool.

Clare's eyes then popped out of her head! Declan Coyne was the most popular guy in the whole school, and out of all the girls there he picked her. She couldn't be more happier, but wait…what if he is using her to get to Holly J Sinclair? She knew he always liked her.

"Oh my gosh, really? You can't be serious!" Clare replied, shock taking over her body.

"No I'm being totally serious, see, look!" She grabbed her phone that was on her bed, shoving it in her face.

Test message from: Declan Coyne

Subject: none.

Message:

What's up Bhandari? I have been meaning to ask you something. You know Clare Edwards right? Your good friend, prop master Clare? Yeah her, I was wondering if she was single by any chance?

Oh my! Clare just wanted to pass out once she read that. Declan has been her all time crush since grade nine. She used to have sexy Vampire dreams about him, because she used to write Vampire Fanfiction.

"Oh my goodness, that's amazing! I-I just wanna pass out…wow!" Clare stuttered, feeling her forehead to see if she'll be okay. Still not believing that THE Coyne has a crush….on her!

"Calm Clare! Just calm, this is going to be amazing! We need to set you guys up!" Alli said with a squeak, she got up from the bed and ran over to Clare's colourful open up closet.

"And I'm going to help you pick out an outfit!" Alli continued, opening up the beige door and eminently started throwing out different kinds of clothing. Ah, typical Alli…always the one for clothing.

Clare sighed, she knew Alli was going to help in some sort of way. But now, all she could think about is one thing.

What will Eli think of this? Wait…what is she thinking? Eli is her brother. Her BROTHER; why would she think that? She must be having a crazy day. And plus, she shouldn't' care about what he thinks, because they do hate each other.

"A-Alli, shouldn't we text him back, asking when the date is?" Clare asked.

"Oh yeah, of course, I forgot! Well, I'll do it later okay? Now let's pick out an outfit!"

She smiled tiredly at her best friend, knowing that she will never win a fight with her. So she should just stop now until Alli freaks out. And that's not very pretty.

Four days later

The days went by fast in school for Alli and Clare. Alli embarrassed Clare by yelling out to Declan, saying that Clare was wanting to go out with him for a while. He didn't mind though, but now everyone thinks that Clare's in love with him. Poor Clare, what will she ever do?

Oh, that's right. Nothing, since their going on a date tonight; right now she was getting ready, Alli picked out an outfit for her last night. It's a short white sundress with a pink ribbon in the middle. It had little pink polka dots patterns on it too and pink flowers everywhere. It too a lot of convincing for Clare to try and get Alli to not buy her something too sexy for her;

The next thing she has on, was bright red lipstick. For kissing of course, not that she isn't going to be kissing anyone, anytime soon; she's never kissed a boy before, Alli has though. She said it's the best thing ever! Anyways, she had a little bit of pink eye shadow as well.

Finally perfect! Clare spun around for Alli, seeing if she looked pretty decent. Alli clapped her hands together, jumped up and down then giggled like mad.

"Aww Clarebear! You look so good, you look smokin!" Alli shot with a wink.

"Thank you Alli, not time for my hair!" Clare said with a grin, as they made their way to the bathroom.

Alli then spent twenty minutes curling Clare's wonderful hair, to make it look beautiful. Not that it didn't before, it just needed to be done.

They were done after a while. With Alli smirking, and Clare looking really shocked. She has never looked like this before, it's a new thing for her. Maybe, hopefully, Declan will like it?

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much Alli for doing this. I couldn't be any more happy!" Clare replied happily, getting up from her chair in the bathroom to hug her friend.

"Your welcome Clare, now go get your man!" Alli winked once more, before letting go of Clare. Right on time too, because right then the door bell rang;

Clare clapped her hands together, looked at herself in the mirror once more that night. And then headed down the stairs, to see Eli was sitting at the table playing cards with Adam.

As soon as he saw Clare, his eyes just about went out of his head. She has never looked so beautiful, a little bit too much for him to approve. Wait, what? What the hell is he thinking about this? It's his sister for crying out loud. But he still couldn't help but think dirty thoughts about her.

He's also wondering who the fuck is the lucky guy who she's going out with? He suddenly felt a wave a jealousy go through him. Wanting to kill the boy; really badly.

"Now where do you think your going? And who are you going with?" Eli asked her curiously, really curious to see who she's going out with.

"None of your business Eli," Clare growled, rolling her eyes at him. But Eli wasn't having that, he got up from his chair angrily, and stood right in front of her.

"Eliiii move." Clare wined, stomping her foot. She still does that since she was little, only to try and get her way sometimes.

"No, not until you tell me who you're going with." Eli shot back through clinched teeth.

"No, now move!" Clare screamed out, pushing away her annoying brother out of the process, and walked to the door, opening it to have Declan standing there with roses.

"Hey prop Master Clare, you look very beautiful tonight." Declan said, checking her out. His eyes starting from her legs, moving up to her eyes, making her blush and look at the ground.

"T-Thanks…" Clare replied bashfully, kicking her feet back and forth.

You could hear a growl from Eli behind them. Turning around suddenly alarmed, Clare glared at Eli as he looked really pissed off. He eyes were almost black, and his heads were balled up in fists.

"So THIS is who you're going out with? Wow some choice Clare…" Eli growled with sarcasm, eyeing the two.

Clare wasn't ready to put up with his crap right now, so she just nodded her head, glared one last time then walked out with Declan.

"So sorry about that, that's my dumb brother Eli. He doesn't like me dating, because I'm too 'ugly'." Clare explained; looking away embarrassed.

Declan chuckled, took her hand then started walking to his car. Once they got there, he shook his head and smiled.

"It's okay, I'm like that with Fiona too." Declan nodded.

Then the got into his car, and drove off, not talking about much really; cause they had nothing to talk about. Clare sighed, and looked out the window throughout the whole ride.

Meanwhile….

Eli was pacing around the kitchen, grabbing his hair and pulling it. Adam was trying to get him to calm himself before he hurts himself. Often placing his hand on his shoulder, and stopping him.

"Eli! Bro, you've got to calm down. Why do you care so much about Clare's love life?" Adam asked, raising an eyebrow.

Why did he care so much? He doesn't really know. Well actually he does, he wishes it was him, not some rich kid. He knows for a fact that he finds his sister attractive. Has ever since the hickey he gave her. He just doesn't want to like his sister, but he can't control is sometimes…

"Well?" He pressed on, waiting for an answer.

"Adam, I don't know okay? I just don't want Clare getting hurt?" He grinned nervously, trying to get Adam convinced, but his plan wasn't working out so well. Cause Adam raised both eyebrows now.

"Oh really? And since when have you cared about Clare getting hurt or not?"

"I don't know! Just drop it okay, I just want her to come back. Declan is bad news." Eli mumbled, scratching the back of his head.

"Whatever man, just…go sit down. She'll be back soon." Adam said, trying his best to calm him.

"Okay…"

Then they went back to playing their same old boring card game. It was guy's night for them anyways, now normally they would play Xbox or something, but no, today their playing a plain old game of cards. A different change for once;

With Clare

Declan has decided that he wanted to go to a steak restaurant. He dragged Clare to it, when she really wasn't up for steak tonight. Since she has it last night, but whatever tickles his peach…They were officially sitting down at a table, right next to a girls bathroom. Clare swore she saw Declan checking out some girls when some of them walked out, but she wasn't too sure…

"So prop Master Clare, how have you been lately?" Declan asked, biting into his steak and corn.

"I'm pretty good, school is great. I'm getting 90's in everything." Clare nodded, taking a piece of her potato.

She didn't like how he called her 'prop Master Clare' all the time. She hated nicknames. Especially when they use it often, it drives her crazy!

"That's good, I always knew you were good in school." Declan said with a smile, which she smiled back.

"Yeah…" She took the time to look at her watch she was wearing, knowing that her mom would probably want her to be back home soon. It's Seven now…

"Well I should probably get you home, before your mom gets worried or something." Declan said with a grin, whip his lips with a napkin, then put some bills on the table.

As they were walking out, Declan put his arm around Clare and pushed her out the door. Let's just say…Clare almost fainted.

Back at the house, Declan happily walked her to the door. Once they got there, she turned around and smiled at him.

"Thank you Declan, this was a great date. I had fun, thank you." Clare said gratefully, feeling blissful.

Meanwhile Eli heard his car drive in the parking lot. Adam has left for home hours ago, now was his chance to try and ruin Clare's date. He carefully tip-toed to the door and listened to their conversation from the opened window right by him, he peeped through the peep hole on the door and frowned at the scene he was seeing.

Declan has his hand right under Clare's chin, lifting it up, making her look into his eyes. Eli knows that Clare hasn't been kissed before, and he wouldn't want her wasting it on a stupid dude, who's just going to break up with her after. It's a good thing he hasn't kissed her yet.

"Clare, I learned to like you very much, after the day you kissed my neck." He heard Declan say, kiss her neck? She kissed his neck? When? Now he was pissed.

"U-Uh…I like you too…b-but I have a confession to m-make…" She stuttered.

"And what's that my beautiful Clare?" his beautiful Clare? I think not! She's not anybody's she's….mine.

But every word that came out of Declan's mouth, made Eli even more mad. He just wanted to punch this rich kid's face out.

"I-I've never been kissed before…" Clare muttered, he could just picture her blushing.

"Well that just makes me special then." Eli saw Declan smirk, then lean down to kiss her. But he wasn't having that.

He ripped the door open with all his might, and didn't think twice before punching Declan in the jaw, before his could meet Clare's.

"DON'T you DARE touch her!" Eli screamed out, pushing him to the ground with a thud!

"Eli! Eli stop!" Clare yelled out, grabbing his shoulders shaking him off.

After a few more hits and punches, Declan finally has the guts to leave, running towards his car and driving off.

"Eli! What have you done that for?" Clare shrieked, waving her hands everywhere.

"Clare, he was bad news Clare! Bad news…"

"Sill Eli, that doesn't mean you have to punch him!" Clare groaned at him, glaring as well.

"Still Clare! As your brother it's my job to make sure guys don't hurt you!" Eli yelled back, looking angrier then ever.

"Since when did you care?" She sneered, crossing her arms together.

"I don't!"

"Well whatever…"

And with that, she groaned, ran inside the house, up the stairs, and into her room, slamming the door shut. Since she didn't have her phone with her, she reached for it on her nightstand. Once it was unlocked, she got a text from Declan.

Message from: Declan Coyne

Subject: none.

Message

I knew you weren't worthy enough for me Clare. I liked you at first, but until I met your brother. Now I don't think I can be near you anymore. Take care Clare.

She cried when she read that, why did Eli have to ruin everything? Why does Eli ruin everything? Why does he hate her so much? All those questions ran through her head as she stumbled to her bed, crying into her pillow.

Twenty minutes later, her tears have finally stopped and she heard her bedroom door being open. Ugh, who could possibly want to be with her right now? She could look like a mess! Looking up from her pillow, she saw Eli standing there, leaning against the door and frowning.

"What do YOU want?" She said through clinched teeth.

He didn't reply, just shook his head and walked over to her bed, sitting on the end on it. She sighed, and buried her head into her pillow once again.

"Clare" Eli replied softly, running his fingers through her hair.

"Go away"

"Clare please." He begged. She looked up from her pillow once again and sat up, sitting crossed legged.

"What do you want? Go away." Clare replied, tears forming her eyes again. She tried to whip them, but Eli beat her to it. He used his thumb to whip away her tears.

"I just came here to say that I'm glad I ruined your date."

She laughed coldly, looking at him in the eyes. His eyes showed jealousy, hurt, and much more. Which she could not believe!

"Your happy that you ruined my date? And why is that?" She asked his curiously.

"Because he was bad news Clare, he's one of those rich kids that don't care for innocent girls like you." She scoffed at him then, not believing what she's hearing right now.

"Well thanks for trying to care, but please, I can handle myself."

He shook his head, and lifted her head up that was looking down at her feet. Making her look into his shinny hazel eyes.

"Look at me." He commanded nicely.

"Y-Yeah?"

"Do you trust me?" He asked her, caressing her cheek with his left hand. Making her shiver, and want more.

What's he doing? Why is he doing all of this? What does it mean? All those questions were in his head right now. But the most important one was, does she trust him? Eli has done so much bad stuff to her in the past, embarrassing her, hurting her, and much more. Does she trust him? Oddly enough, she does.

"Y-Yes…" She finally said after a few seconds of glaring into each other's eyes.

"Good" He whispered.

She has no idea what he was going to do next, but gasped loudly when he slowly brought his lips to hers. Her eyes widened as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

Not knowing what to do, she just sat there until some voice in her head told her to do something, anything! Listening to the voice, she nervously wrapped her arms around his neck, as his tongue licked her bottom lip.

What do I do? What I do? She thought to herself, she's never kissed anyone so she wouldn't know. So she opened her mouth a little bit, thinking that's the right thing to do.

Obviously it was, he plunged his tongue into her mouth and attacked hers.

What was she doing? She was kissing her brother, her brother for freaking crying out loud! She would never, in a million years think that she would ever kiss her brother. But now here she is, getting lost her in brother's sweet mouth.

He pulled away from her, making a smacking sound. And pushed her down a bit on her bed, his body hovering over hers, she opened her mouth to say something, but he just crashed his lips to her one more time. This time sweet and gentle, not tongues no nothing just a sweet peck.

Pulling away again that night, he looked right into her eyes and traced the outline of her top lip.

"That's why I broke you and Declan up. I wanted to be your first kiss." He whispered sweetly before burring his head into the crook of her neck.

"Oh Eli…you're a weird one." She mumbled into his hair. Feeling really confused, but also really good…

And that was the day that I, Clare Diana Edwards, had my first kiss. But I strangely liked it…
