disclaimer: i don't own degrassi.
a/n: thank you for your wonderful reviews. i actually wrote this chapter as i watched anime. it's shorter than i'd like it to be, but please enjoy.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off it was 8:30am. "Fuck it's Monday" I muttered groggily.
"What day did you think it was?" Imogen asked as I moved out of the bed and wiped the drool from my mouth.
"Sunday." I stated as I stood up.
"No it's Monday." She giggled "What time did you go to sleep last night.?" She asked as she started to make her way out of the bedroom.
"About 10:30pm" I said
"Ok then you've had enough sleep" She laughed. I rolled out of the bed, walked to my closet, grabbed clothes and went to the bathroom to get dressed I locked the door just in case.
When I took my shirt off I noticed my shoulder was starting to bleed a little from where Clare bit me I smirked at myself and started the shower before fully stripping and walking in. I let the warm water drench me and relaxed a little before washing myself, when I was fully cleaned I got dressed, brushed my hair and teeth. Imogen had breakfast waiting for me when I got out of the bathroom I walked to the couch to put on my shoes and socks before walking towards the table.
"Come eat." She said and we both sat down. I picked at some of the eggs and ate them.
"They're pretty good." I said as continued to eat.
"Pretty good?" She asked
"Yea." I said
"Why not delicious or something you always tell CeCe her cooking is delicious or amazing." Imogen muttered.
"Sorry I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. If it makes you feel better it's delicious." I sighed
"You said that to make me feel better don't bother." She said pushing her plate away. Not wanting to argue I picked up a piece of buttered toast.
"I don't want to argue I'll see you later." I said and put the piece of toast in my mouth. I gathered my keys along with my cell phone and left the apartment. The toast was gone when I got to Morty and I forgot to bring something to wash it down with so I decided to make a pit stop for some coffee before arriving at the college.
When I got to the college I pulled out my briefcase from the back and walked to my classroom so I could set everything up which didn't take that long. When it was time for my first class to arrive at 11:00am I sat on my desk and watched as the class made their way inside the room Lisa was absent. I decided to talk about Edgar Allen Poe for a little before reading "The Raven" out loud to the class as they followed along. "Quote the raven. Nevermore." I said darkly slamming my book in my hand as I said nevermore catching everyone's attention.
"E-Eli" Someone said causing me turn my attention to the person saying my name the class turned their heads as well. Clare stood in the middle of the room as I quickly made my way to her she looked weak as she leaned on a desk.
"What is it?" I asked as Clare looked up at me with pleading blue eyes.
"I'm tired and can't drive." she said breathlessly before falling into my arms. I caught her and immediately picked her up bridal style and turned to my class.
"Clear off my desk I don't care where you put everything." I stated the kids started to hurriedly clean it off as I carried Clare down to my desk. The kids put everything on the floor and on empty tables and chairs. I laid Clare on it and her legs dangled off the edge and someone moved the only actual desk in the classroom under her feet to hold them up. "Thanks." I said as I removed her purse from her shoulder and put it in one of the drawers in my desk.
"What did she tell you?" Jack asked.
"Should someone give her CPR?" George asked as I walked to the closet for a blanket not knowing why there are blankets here, but at the same time not caring.
"She wasn't drowning" I said "She either passed out or fainted." I said and she started to stir once I draped the blanket over her, yup she's asleep. "She's sleeping back to class" I chuckled as everyone looked at me from their seats. I moved two chairs one to the side of the desk for the books I needed another to the front for my feet. After putting the books on the chair that I needed I moved Clare's feet and put them on my lap once I sat on the desk and grabbed my Edgar Allen Poe book.
"Shouldn't we be quiet?" George asked quietly. I looked to Clare and shook my head.
"She sleeps through almost anything." I chuckled and finished the lesson before dismissing the class.
"Can I stay until she wakes up I don't have class for a few hours?" Gorge asked
"No you cannot." I chuckled as I removed Clare's feet from my lap and walked to the closet to fetch enough copies of "Juliet, Naked" by Nick Hornby for my next class and put them on the table near the door as I stood in the middle of the room to make sure the kids got them.
"Dawg are is this about Sleeping Beauty?" Paul asked
"I'm not a dog nor is my name dog and no we're not reading anything about Sleeping Beauty." I said unamused
"Mr. Goldsworthy what's with the dead chick?" Brittney asked
"Wait for the rest of the class to enter and everyone make sure you grab a copy of Juliet, Naked as you enter." I stated. Each kid had something different to ask about Clare or asked if she was helping me in some sort of way. When the class entered and sat down I moved back to the desk and sat Clare's feet on my lap as I reached for my book. "As you can tell she's not dead, no she's not part of this class, she's just sleeping, and this has nothing to do with sleeping beauty, though she is quite beautiful herself." I stated. Me and the class basically read the book stopping when someone had a question or to laugh.
"Nh Eli." Clare said causing me and my English 101 class to look at her I smirked to myself as she shifted a little than turned back to the class.
"No one comment." I stated "Please continue Jarred." I stated allowing him to pick up reading.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
I faintly heard Eli's voice talking about some CD I haven't heard of but somehow it rung a bell. I opened my eyes to see Eli holding my feet, he was reading a book when I moved my foot he looked over at me, smirked, and rubbed my foot. I looked over to see a room full of kids, removed my feet off of Eli's lap and moved to sit up bringing the blanket with me. I caught Eli's attention as some kid was reading from their copy and pointed to the blanket he glanced at the closet in his room and I nodded.
"Ok it's that time again when class is over." he said closing his book. I watched as the class left, but one student stayed behind and walked up to Eli.
"Teach when is the final due?" She asked
"Next week." He said.
"Thanks." She said softly as tucked her hair behind her ear and left. Eli turned towards me as she left and took my hand in his causing me to look up at him. When I looked over to Eli he cupped my cheek and leaned his face to mine, our lips brushed lightly as we shared a feather light kiss and he pulled away.
"Feeling any better?" He asked
"Yes thank you." I said "I guess I just needed sleep." I said
"Having trouble sleeping?" He asked and I nodded. Eli caressed my cheek and I leaned in to place a gentle kiss on his lips he tried to deepen it, but I pulled away.
"What's wrong?" He asked
"What if someone walks in and your door's open." I said
"No one here knows I'm dating Imogen and I'll lock it." He said before getting up and locking his door. I watched him as he made his way back to me. He parted his legs when he saw me and kissed me passionately.
"Your next class." I said breathlessly after breaking the kiss. Eli looked up at the wall behind me.
"Isn't for a few hours and no one uses this classroom until six." He replied kissing me again. I deepened the kiss. "We have to be quiet." Eli said as he kissed me again. I wrapped my arms comfortably around Eli's neck and Eli took his time removing my panties since I was in a dress. Eli laid comfortably in between my legs. I helped him take his shirt off and unbuttoned his pants.
"Clare" Eli moaned as I pressed my hand into his erection. I took it as a sign and pressed my palm into him again he groaned and thrust into my hand. I smiled against his lips as I kissed him and removed my hand. Eli reached behind me to unzip my dress causing me to arch my back into his hand unzipped my dress. Soon my dress and bra were discarded and Eli took off his pants I noticed he moved something next to me, but didn't pay attention to what it was. Eli climbed back on top of me and I dug my nails into his back, who knew Eli was this much of a masochist? I didn't mind it. As Eli thrust into me I bit down roughly on his shoulder so I didn't scream in pleasure. "God Clare." he groaned as he thrust fast into me.
"Faster" I said into his ear and nibbled on his neck trying not to leave a hickie there. Eli gently bit my shoulder a little shockingly it didn't hurt, feeling his warm lips on my shoulder. "Did that hurt?" He asked as he stopped his thrusting
"Nah ah." I said as I thrust my hips into his.
"Did you like it?" He said and I nodded as I thrust my hips again hoping to get him to start moving. Eli gently bit down on my shoulder as he started moving and sucking on the skin. It felt really good so I bit him again this time causing him to bleed. Rather than moaning Eli groaned and bit down harder on my shoulder. Instead of hissing in pain I dug my nails into Eli's back and released my mouth, but Eli covered my mouth with his hand causing me to let out a loud moan into his palm and I tightened my legs around him more.
"Eli…Eli." I moaned breathlessly.
"What is it?" Eli asked between pants as he continued to thrust.
"The light bites feel really good." I moaned slightly.
"Oh do they?" Eli asked as I moaned and dug my nails into his back as his thrust got faster and harder. Eli bit down again on my skin again. I bit down on his in return causing him to growl and thrust into me erratically fast as I tried to meet his thrusts with some of my own. I bit down on Eli's shoulder more and I started getting closer, I guessed Eli sensed it as he lifted my bottom half more allowing him to go deeper. He bit and sucked my shoulder as he thrust harder and soon enough we were both whimpering and I felt him cum inside me as my walls clenched around him. Eli's pace slowed down as we panted for a little.
"That was amazing." I panted as I went to sit up.
"Don't move you'll leak." Eli said as he reached for the item he put on the desk near me. I tried to turn my head to see what it was but couldn't. Eli's hand moved to where we were connected and as he pulled out I could feel his hand on my center as our cum started to leak out of me I could tell he was holding something against me and replaced my hand with his.
"Thank you." I breathed
"Anything for you." Eli said and kissed my forehead before we both got dressed. "What were you doing here?" he asked as he buckled his belt.
"I came to transfer it's closer to home." I said "What English classes do you teach?" I asked
"All of them." He said clearing the confusion. "There are only four English professors in the whole school so we all split everything."
"That makes since." I said
"Would you like to go to lunch with me?" Eli asked "My treat I know a really good place around here and no one we know comes around this way, if they do I haven't seen them."
"I'd love to." I stated happily and threw the tissue in the trash. We walked out of the class room hand in hand.
We walked to Morty and as usual Eli opened the door for me before getting in on his side. He leaned over and we kissed sweetly before breaking apart and driving off. Eli held my hand the entire ride there. I cherish the time I get to spend with him since it's not that often.
"I missed you." Eli said sweetly.
"I was with you yesterday morning." I giggled
"I know but I still missed you. I miss you every minute I'm away from you." He said causing a deep red blush to my face. "I love you, Clare" Eli said sweetly as if it were the first time he's told me he loved me.
"I love you too." I said happily and Eli pulled up to a nice looking restaurant with a dark red awning. Eli leaned in and kissed me again it lasted a few seconds longer than the other one and we smiled at each other as we pulled apart.
"Lets get inside." He said and got out on his side. He opened the door and got out as I did the same.
"I was going to let you out." he said
"Sorry." I stated dryly as I looked down. Eli put his thumb under my chin and picked up my face causing me to look into his dark green eyes.
"It's ok. Why are you so upset about it?" He asked and I shook my head. I didn't want to think about Jake or let my new habits get in the way of my Eli time. Eli kissed me again chastely, than on each of my cheeks, and randomly on my face. "Are you ok?" He asked as I blushed a little and nodded. He draped his arm over my shoulder and lead me into the restaurant tucked under his shoulder as we walked inside.
We walked inside and sat in a small booth Eli sat across from me. I smiled at him as our waiter came and handed us our menus. "Would you like to start off with a drink?" He asked. I looked at Eli.
"Order anything you want." He said I looked over the drinks menu.
"I'll take a chocolate milkshake and a glass of water." I said.
"And I'll take a coke." Eli said and we both looked at the menu. We held hands as we quietly looked over our menus. "Do you have a plan for us to leave them?" He asked as we entwined our fingers.
"I was thinking that I'm going to spend less time with Jake and take it from there. Tell him I'm busy a lot even when I'm not stuff like that." I said.
"I don't know why Imogen's still with me. We fight all the time and a majourity of it I'm sitting down as I eat wishing she were you." He admitted softly.
"I don't really like spending a lot of time with Jake." I said.
"Do you guys fight too?" He asked softly. Visions of yesterday flowed in my eyes and a sadness took over me. I cleared my throat.
"Excuse me." I said and made my way to the bathroom. I quickly walked there and splashed some water on my face as two girls entered the bathroom.
"Did you see professor Goldsworthy sitting out there?" one girl asked.
"I wonder who he's sitting with." the other said
"Probably another professor or that girl Gretchen to keep her company while professor Cooper is teaching." She said.
"We should be happy she's married. I hope I get him as a professor next year." The other girl said.
"I hope we all get into his class even though we'll be his students and unable to do anything."
"But we'll be able to talk to him."
I finished cleaning myself up and the other girls noticed me. "Do you know professor Goldsworthy?" one girl asked.
"I know who he is." I giggled.
"Is he really as charming as he seems." the other girl asked
"He is charming." I said "Excuse me I have to get back to my party." I said as I collected my things and left. I walked back to Eli and sat across from him again. "Sorry I took so long." I stated softly.
"Clare it's ok." Eli said as he got up and moved next to me. "I'm sorry if I did something wrong." He said looking into my eyes. I hugged him tightly, he hugged back and kissed my head. "Are you ok?" He asked, I nodded and soon let him go.
"What would you like to eat?" our water asked. I ordered a hamburger and fries as I looked over the table and noticed our drinks have been placed down. Eli ordered the same thing and he just held me against his chest as our fingers entwined comfortably.
"You know I'm going to have to move when our food comes right?" He chuckled and I leaned against him.
"I know, but I like knowing I have you protecting me." I stated as he shifted a little to get more comfortable.
"Clare, I love you no matter what I love only you and I'm going to protect you. I'm only a phone call away." He said and I nodded.
"I love you too Eli." I whispered and he kissed the top of my head. We relaxed together and enjoyed each other's company. Eli moved across from me when our food came. I dipped some of my fries into my chocolate milkshake as Eli looked at me weirdly.
"Since when have you started doing that?" He asked as he watched wide eyed.
"I'm not sure." I shrugged "It's good try one." I said after dipping a fry into my chocolate and held it out to Eli. I watched as he took a bite of it and started to chew it.
"It's nasty." He chuckled, but he smiled as well and I giggled.
"Well I like it." I smiled as I dipped the fry that Eli took a bit off of into my chocolate shake and ate it.
"Come here." Eli said leaning in towards me and I leaned into him as we shared another sweet kiss. We enjoyed the rest of the meal together after Eli paid for our food we walked out and began to make our way back to the college. He gave me a passionate kiss goodbye it was really meaningful to both of us and I wished I didn't have to say goodbye.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
I waved goodbye to Clare after she drove off I sighed and made my way into the college. The rest of the day went by slowly. When the day ended I got into Morty and drove to my apartment I knew Imogen would be there something told me that she stopped looking for her own place because it feels like she's living with me when she's not. I sighed deeply and thought of Clare. When I parked in front of the building and exited Morty I walked inside and then to my apartment.
I twisted the door knob and looked around. Imogen had the place cleaned up and she was watching TV as she ate a bowl of ice cream meaning she went food shopping. "Did you work today?" I asked as I shut the door behind me.
"No I had off." She said and I nodded.
"How was work?" She asked as I walked into the kitchen and put my bag down.
"It was work, nothing really exciting happened." I lied thinking back to when me and Clare made love on my desk and had a wonderful lunch afterwards. I walked into my bedroom and locked it behind me. I stripped off my clothes and looked over my new wounds I've received from Clare and smirked when I remembered how I covered her shoulder with hickies. I heard the door knob giggle.
"Eli can I come in please?" Imogen asked from the other side of the door I didn't answer her I just quickly threw on a shirt and quickly changed into pajama pants before opening the door to her. I looked down when she looked me over.
"Need something?" I asked
"No I just wanted to see if you're ok." She blushed
"I'm fine. I just like some privacy." I stated as I walked past her. I sat on the couch once I made it to the living room and dug in my brief case I had a few papers to grade and after grading them I walked to my lap top and started to type out my book as I thought of Clare. It was dark and sort of twisted, I made the heroine in it have some of Clare's innocent traits, she was modest, gorgeous like a goddess, the had the sweetest smile, innocent blue eyes, short curly brown hair rather than cinnamon hair that Clare has, and she's modest just like Clare…my Clare.
The hero in it was dark, twisted, he hated his life, he hated his girlfriend, but most of all he hated her. He hated her because she was all he wanted and all he couldn't have. With that came his fear: knowing her. When they met it was intense he was in a fight with someone at a bar and she cleaned him up, unable to hold back he kissed her. This isn't your normal love story the hero has a deep dark painful past he wished to keep secret. He feared that she'd leave him because of it. He liked killing things mainly if something hurt him such as a dog his main instinct was to kill it. With people he'd hit them he was always afraid of hurting her on accident. But when true loves pushes them together he finds it harder and harder to reject her and as fate would have it she loved him too.
"Eli dinner's ready." Imogen said as she set the table.
"I'm going to eat over here as I work on this." I said knowing I wanted to finish this and that she probably hated the idea, but she fixed my plate and let me work as I ate without saying a word and I started typing again.
The five chapters came flowing out of me as I typed up each page of it. Before I knew it I was up to 100 pages. I didn't know how, but I kept getting ideas for the couple and threw in some drama and darkness as well as their romance. In the end the hero ended up doing the thing he feared most: he killed her, he killed his wife, the one he loved, without being able to live without her he took his own life.
When I finished my book I looked at the clock which read midnight. Imogen was probably sleeping and I looked to the spot where I put my empty plate and noticed it was gone, Imogen picked it up and cleaned it.
After saving my story and shut the lights off I made my way into the bathroom and took two sleeping pills before going into my room and climbing into bed. I fell asleep holding my extra pillow as I kept my back towards Imogen.
