I sat there shocked but happy at the same time as Fitz pressed his lips against mine after I recovered from shock and returned the kiss. Even though I didn't want to I had to break the kiss so I could get a breath.

"Wow" Fitz said. "I mean that was better than what I thought it would be."

"You thought about kissing me?" I asked kind of curious.

"I think about you a lot. In fact when I see you with Clare it's not you that I want to hurt…it's her." He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together. "I want you to be mine and no one else's"

"Really? I want you too but I don't want to hurt Clare, she's my friend"

"I don't know how long I can wait before I just tell her you belong to me" he said protectively.

'Sigh' "just give me two weeks before you do anything crazy" I basically begged him. He looked down at me with his soft brown eyes (Fitz does have brown eyes right?)

"Fine, two weeks then I'm stepping in ok babe" I smiled at what he called me.

"Alright, let's get back to work" I said pulling away from him.

"Ugh! Do we have to I'd rather sit here and watch T.V. with you in my arms."

"As tempting as that sounds we need to do our work"

"Fine"

We began working on our homework and then 30 minutes later there was a soft knock at the door. I looked at Fitz and he just shrugged.

"Be right back" I told him. I walked to the door and looked through the peephole to see Clare standing on the other side if the door.

'Crap' I thought as I opened the door and smiled.

"Um, I know you are tutoring someone but, I had this idea for our video project we have to do so I came over to-"

"Sorry but he's tutoring me and I have no idea what I am doing so your idea is going to have to wait" Fitz interrupted her from behind me. I felt his hand resting on my lower back.

"Oh. Wait, are you guy's friends now?" she asked. I opened my mouth to answer but, Fitz beat me to the punch.

"Yeah we decided to set aside our differences and try to be friends"

"Well that's good. I'll leave you two alone to do your work and I'll see you tomorrow" she said before leaning in and kissing me on the lips. I felt Fitz tense up behind me and his fingers dug into my side which caused me to lean to the side trying to escape the pain. Clare pulled away with a huge smile on her face and I smiled even though my side was throbbing. She waved to Fitz and then ran back to her mother's car and drove off.

I turned to Fitz after I closed the door.

"What the hell was that?" I asked angrily.

"She freaking kissed you and you kissed her back"

"What did you want me to do? Push her off and tell her I don't want her anymore because I'm in love with the guy who almost stabbed me two months ago" I said as I started to get pissed. "I told you to give me time to break it off with her . I want you not her… wel not as a girlfriend but as a friend but I doubt that's going to happen after we break up" I finished and turned to leave only to be pulled back into his chest.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you"

"Ok"

"Eli-"

"I know you're sorry Fitz and I forgive you just don't let it happen again ok?"

"Anything for you babe"
