About 3 weeks later

Clare was sitting up in bed typing up her essay. It was about 1 am and she still wasn't done. Her legs rested interlocked with her laptop on her lap. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she had on her glasses. She arrived home at about 7 and was beyond frustrated at this point and simply wanted to give up.

She suddenly heard ruffling on her balcony. She glanced up at it but didn't notice anything unusual. She reversed her attention back to her essay.

Once again, she heard ruffling on her balcony. She got up and opened it, walking out. She then felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She turned around and saw Eli, "What are you doing here?"

"That was really stupid of you to come out here, it could have been a killer or a burglar."

"That's true, whatever. Why are you here?"

"No hi, no kiss? I traveled all the way on the jet to see you."

"Hi Eli." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips.

"3 weeks and that's all I get?" He pouted. She rolled her eyes and held his hand, pulling him into her room. She closed the balcony and hopped back on her bed.

"You can stay but I have an essay to do so you can't bother me."

Eli hopped down behind her on the bed, Clare sitting in between his legs.

"One kiss first." She turned around and attached her lips to his. They kissed for a bit until Clare pulled back, sucking on his bottom lip.

"What is the essay about?" Eli questioned as she typed away.

"Is racism a justification for slavery? That's not even why it's taking me so long. My teachers insist we use Chicago style."

Eli softly gave kisses to her neck and shoulder as Clare continued to finish her essay.

"Oh my god." He heard her say.

"What's wrong?"

"No, no, no." He heard her mutter.

"Clare, what happened?"

"Eli look, the essay. It's gone."

"What?" He asked looking at the computer.

She tried undoing the typing but that did nothing. She attempted and attempted and the essay wouldn't come back.

She buried her face in her hands and began to cry. "Clare, it's okay."

"No it's not." She said moving away. "Do you know how long it took me to write that?" She questioned pacing her room. Eli got up and stopped her from moving, "Calm down Clare."

"I have to write all 10 pages over."

"No you don't."

"What?" She asked looking up at him.

"I'll do it."

"No Eli, it's my essay."

"And you're tired as hell and need to get sleep."

"The teacher knows my writing Eli, you cant."

"Do you want to sleep or not?"

"Yes but…."

"I got it Clare."

"Eli, you're not doing it."

"Either you let me do it or I leave."

Clare sighed and contemplated it and responded with a nod, " Okay, Thank you." She said wiping her tears from her cheeks. Eli kissed her and hopped on the bed, under the covers. He grabbed the laptop and began typing her heading over.

Clare lied down next to him, her head resting on his shoulder. For the most part, Eli was doing the essay but every now and then he would ask Clare to jog her memory for a quote she needed.

It was about 7 am and Eli had finished her essay. He was exhausted himself and pressed print. He made his way to her computer desk and retrieved the essay from the printer. He aligned the papers and put them in her folder in her bag. He sighed as he set her laptop aside and lied down next to her.

Suddenly her alarm went off and Eli groaned. Clare woke up and slammed her hand over the alarm.

"Good morning." She smiled.

"More like goodnight to me. I just finished your essay."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I wanted to do it."

"Where is it?"

"I put it in your bag."

"You're a life saver." She gave him a lingering kiss and departed to the bathroom. About an hour later, Clare was all dressed and ready to go.

"My parents are here, they leave to go to work at 10 so you can't leave the room before then. Lock it when I leave so they don't come in, okay?"

Eli nodded, "Okay."

"I'll be home before they get home, I'll see you later. And thank you so much for the essay. "

"Okay. Go, I wanna sleep" Eli said with his eyes still closed. Clare laughed and gave him a kiss and made her way to school.

It was about 1:30 and Eli had finally woke up. He rubbed his tired eyes and got up, making his way downstairs.

He went through their fridge and noticed some eggs. He pulled them out and quickly prepared himself an omelet. He hopped on the couch and began to tune in to a television program.

Clare was on her way home. She stopped at The Dot to pick up some food and finally arrived. She unlocked it, walked in and saw her boyfriend lying on the couch.

She dropped her bag and hopped on top of him, "Hey."

"Hey." He said looking up at her. "How was your day?"

"Boring, I was learning. Yours?"

"Good. I ate and slept." She smiled and lied down on his chest. "We're gonna go out tonight."

"I can't go out in this neighborhood, I'll get attacked."

"You won't, come to a party one of my friends is hosting" She pouted.

"I can't, unless you want me signing autographs all night."

"Please come. I really want to go."

"I'll go for you."

"Thank you." She kissed his lips and continued to rest on his chest.

Clare was in the bathroom getting dressed in the bathroom as Eli outfitted in his normal attire, not having anything fancier.

Eli heard the screeching of the bathroom door and turned around and saw his girlfriend dressed in a loose fitted crème satin shirt and a high waisted black skirt in addition with her short heels.

"You look gorgeous."

"Thanks." She said supplying him with kiss.

"Are you ready?" She asked. Eli nodded as they interlocked hands and made their way out of the house.

They took a cab towards the household of the party and shortly arrived. Clare led him inside and no one noticed him as of now so that was an upside. Clare found her best friend, Adam talking to his girlfriend, Katie.

"Hey Adam, this is my boyfriend Eli."

"Hey dude, I'm surprised no one has attacked you yet."

"I know, hopefully they don't notice all night. We'll talk to you later." Eli said tugging her hand.

"Where are we going?" She asked looking up at him with curious eyes.

"I wanna dance with you."

Eli led her to a not so crowded area and she pressed her back against his front. Eli softly gripped her hips and guided her movements. As the beat of the music picked up and the music grew louder, Clare got the hang of it and grinded faster.

"The things you do to me." He whispered in her ear. They continued to dance until one of the many girls confronted them.

"Hi." Clare stopped moving and they awkwardly looked from the girl.

"Are you Elijah?" The girl questioned looking like she was holding back a whole round of squeals.

"Yeah."

"Can I please have your autograph? Please?"

"Do you have a marker?" She revealed her pen and notepad and Eli quickly signed it.

"Thanks." She squealed running off to the crowd to her group of friends. Soon, she brought them over, requesting the same thing. Eli gave 5 of the friends autographs and reversed his attention back to Clare.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay." She softly spoke.

"Do you wanna keep dancing?"

She shook her head, "Come with me to get something to drink?"

Eli nodded and followed her towards the kitchen. Clare spotted the punch bowl, "Do you know if that has alcohol?" She asked Eli.

He whiffed the punch and nodded, "It does."

She pouted and grabbed a soda from the cooler. She snapped it open and chugged down a bit.

Eli felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around.

"Hi, can I get a picture with you?"

"Sure." Eli said. The girl held out the camera in front of them and snapped the picture.

"You good?" Eli asked Clare.

She nodded and discarded her can of soda. He led her back to the dance floor and began dancing with Eli again. As their proximity grew closer and things grew intense, they were stopped again.

"Hi, sorry to interrupt but can I get an autograph?"

"Su—"Eli began.

"No." Clare interrupted. "Stop asking, everyone's been interrupting all night. I would like to spend time with my boyfriend in peace so can you go?"

The girl rolled her eyes at Clare and walked off.

"Why'd you do that?" Eli asked.

"I'm tired of everyone interrupting, I want you to myself without everyone showing up every 2 seconds asking for an autograph."

"I told you they were gonna do that and you said you don't care. If we weren't together, you would be doing the same thing Clare."

"I know, I'm just tired of it."

"Sorry."

Soon a swarm of girls came rushing towards Eli asking for pictures and autographs.

"Just give me a minute." He told Clare as he began signing the autographs. Clare sighed and walked off and sat on the couch.

She looked at the crowd as everyone swarmed around her boyfriend. He was here for 3 days for her, only her and here he was being surrounded my crazy fan girls. Clare couldn't help but think to herself, would it always be like that when they go out in public? Will he have to go in disguise? Will they ever have a real relationship?

"You alright?" Adam asked hopping down next to her.

"Yeah, my boyfriend isn't spending time with me, totally fine Adam."

"Clare, he's a TV star. What'd you expect?"

"For him to only give me attention."

"Isn't that kind of being self-centered?"

"For wanting my boyfriend to spend time with me?"

"He has fans he's dedicated to, he can't ignore them."

"And why not?"

"Because if he loses his fans then where will he be?"

"With me, having a normal relationship." She mumbled.

"Clare, I don't really know what to say except if you really wanna stay with him, you're gonna have to deal with everything that comes along with it."

"Guys, I have to go." Eli said trying to finish his last autographs.

"Picture please."

"I have to get to my girlfriend." He signed her notepad and gave it to her. There was about 5 people left and Eli got down about 30 and figured that was enough.

"Sorry guys, thanks for being a fan."

Clare continued to talk to Adam until she saw Eli walking back over to her, "Come on." He said holding out his hand.

"What?"

"We need to talk." She took his hand, waved bye to Adam and walked out of the crowd. Eli led her outside the house and the windy night air.

"I'm cold Eli, can we just talk inside?"

"It's too loud inside." Eli said taking off his jacket. Clare thankfully took it for him and dug her hands in the pocket.

"Are you mad at me?" He asked as they sat on a nearby bench.

"No."

"Then what's wrong?"

"I just don't like you always having to stop spending time with me for everyone else. I mean I get it, you're on a show and girls like you but…I barely see you and when I do, I want you all to myself."

"I know and I'm sorry."

"It's okay." She muttered. "Two autographs, pictures and stuff it's fine but when it's like 50 girls lining up for you, it's so annoying."

"Okay I'm sorry. I'll try not to do that."

Clare nodded in response not making eye contact with Eli. Eli gently turned her face towards him, "Sorry"

"It's okay." She replied finally looking his eyes.

"Kiss me please." He softly spoke.

Clare gazed in his eyes before catching his lips in a kiss. Their lips moved slowly against each other's. Eli gripped her hips, sliding her closer to him. Clare opened her mouth and Eli took the opportunity to slide his tongue in her mouth.

Clare moaned in the kiss as their tongues interlocked in the kiss. Eli softly bit her bottom lip pulling back. Clare was heavily panting as she looked down.

"Are you ready?" He asked tilting her head up with her chin.

"You can't come over tonight."

"Why?"

"My parents are probably back."

Eli pouted, "Please."

"You can't, how are they not gonna notice you?"

"Can't I climb up the balcony?"

"Okay, hopefully they're asleep."

XXXX

Clare unlocked her door and made her way up into her room. Her parents door was cracked open and thankfully they were sound asleep. She opened the balcony door and gestured for Eli to come up. He climbed up the tree and hopped on.

They walked into the room and Clare closed the door.

"I'm gonna go put on pajamas, you can get dressed in here."

Eli nodded as Clare roamed through her dresser. She decided to be a little cute for Eli and picked out a pair of black shorts and a simple t shirt.

She walked in the bathroom and changed her clothes. She discarded her clothes in the laundry basket and walked back in her room. She smiled at Eli and hopped on the bed next to him, her leg tucked under her.

"I like your shorts." Eli smirked rubbing her thigh.

"Thanks." She said pecking his lips and lying in his arms.

"Sunday, I'm filming, do you want to come?"

"Where?"

"It's down here, probably like an hour away."

"I'll see depending if my parents are home or not." Eli nodded as he caressed her side.

"Goodnight." She lied in his chest and felt into a deep slumber.

Eli looked down at his beautiful girlfriend below him and kissed her parted lips falling asleep himself.

SO YEAH, YOU GUYS SHOULD SO GIVE ME IDEAS? And I liked the idea where Eli will be on TV and talks about Clare, a couple of you recommended that but that happened in Rockstar and I don't wanna copy that but I may do a different version of it, we'll see. REVIEW
