CLARE POV
Wow i can't believe Eli and I just kissed. I swear i felt a shock of electricity serge through me when our lips touched. I hope he isn't creeped out, then again he's the one that kissed me...Does this mean we're together? I hope so. I know i've been saying how I don't like him like that, but I lied. I've actually really liked him the since the minute i met him. He's really sweet and kind and he's someone who knows all of me and my past.

i was sitting on the couch when i heard a bang coming from the kitchen. I jumped up and grabbed a lamp off of the end table. i started to walk towards the kitchen and could hear some muffled swearing. I peeked in the door, it was just Eli. He was holding his foot jumping up and down. i walk in. "Are you OK?" i ask. "Stupid fuc- hey Clare! Yeah i'm fine just was trying to make some breakfast and dropped a pan on my foot." he said while bending down to pick up the pan. He rinsed it off and put it back on the stove.

I walked over to help. "Let me cook. It's the least i could do for you letting me stay here." I smiled. "OK, go for it. But beware, that pan is on the loose and is killing toes." He smirked and limped off. "Speaking of toes im gonna go and check mine to make sure its not broken." he grumbled and walked to his room. I shook my head and went over to the refridgerator. I took out some eggs and some bacon. I turned the stove on and took out another pan. I cracked the eggs and beat them in a bowl and poured them on the skillet, then i laid the bacon on and occasionally flipped the bacon or stirred the eggs.

After everything was cooked i set the table and put some food on each plate and grabbed two glasses filled with orange juice. "Breakfast is ready!" I called into the hallway towards Eli's room. He soon hurried out, sat down, and began to dig in. "This delicious Clare!" He said forking some eggs into his mouth. I giggled and continued to eat. When we were both done I picked up the plates and put them in the sink to wash later.

I went and sat back down at the table as Eli was chugging his OJ. I watched him until he set the glass down and wiped his mouth with his hand, typical guy. "Hey Eli?" he looked up and signaled for me to go on. "I...I think...I think we should talk about last night." i stammered. He stared at me and nodded. "Yeah i think we do to." He looked down playing with his glass while I fumbled with a forgotten napkin. "Clare, I really like you and I want to be with you but, i don't think i deserve you." I sighed, he was so sweet. "Why would you think that?"

"Because, I'm such a mess. I've never really had a stable realtionship with anyone and i wouldn't want to put you through that. I like you too much." He said sincerely while staing deep into my eyes. "Eli, I really like you too. But, I'm a big girl, I'm sure i could handle. Because I really want to be with you too." I smiled reassuringly. He said nothing and neither did I. We just stared at eachother for a minute, but then he leaned in and cupped my face. "Then we'll have to do something about that won't we?" He leaned in and kissed me with so much passion and emotion.

I deepened the kiss by stepping on my tippy toes and tangling my fingers in his hair. He snaked his arm around my waist and wiped his tongue across my lower lip, and that's when i pulled away. I didn't want to i just have never gotten that fair before. "I'm sorry, I have never kissed like that before." I looked down and blushed. "You know blue eyes, that blush is just too damn cute on you." He smiled. A real smile, not a smirk. I think I'm in love wiht him already! Oh no...
