Here you go, the fourth chapter! I just want to thank everyone who reviewed the previous chapters. I love reading them!
Clare's POV:
I tried to be excited for my date with Eli tonight, I really tried. I did my makeup flawlessly and curled my hair perfectly. I knew I had told Eli everything was all right, I tried really hard to believe that it was all right, but inside I knew everything still wasn't.
I heard a car honk outside and I knew it was Eli. I sighed quietly to myself, and walked down the stairs. I stopped right before I was about to open my front door, I took a deep breath, and put a smile on my face.
I stepped out the door and closed it behind me. I bounded over to Morty and hopped in.
"Someone's cheerful today," remarked Eli.
"I'm always in a good mood when I see my boyfriend," I said, and leaned over to kiss him.
He leaned in also, and when our lips touched, we both responded eagerly. Our lips opened in sync, and our tongues met.
I pulled back from the kiss first. Eli looked disappointed, and leaned in for more, but I pulled back. "We're going to be late for the movie if we keep this up," I said, smiling.
Once again, the ride to the movies was silent. The whole time I was thinking, He will get over it, he's just stressed about Fitz. Everything will be back to normal soon. We can deal.
Eli's POV:
Clare seemed back to normal. She looked happy to see me, and when I glanced over at her while she was driving, she was smiling. But then I noticed something in her eyes. Was it worry, annoyance? She appeared to be deep in thought. "Everything okay, Clare? You seem pretty deep in thought over there."
She jumped slightly, then shook her head to tiny bit as if to clear her thoughts. "What? Nothing, just excited for the movie tonight," she said.
"Okay. I promise we won't see anything too violent," I joked, then smirked when she looked worried.
"Don't worry," I reassured her, "I'll always be there to protect you."
She looked at me and gave me a small smile. "Okay."
We arrived at the movies, bought our tickets, then went into the theater to take our seats. I had let Clare choose the movie since she had seemed so worried in the car, so she picked some romantic comedy, of course. I lay back in my seat. This was going to be a long movie.
Halfway through the movie, I looked at Clare, and she seemed to be enjoying the movie. I sat up in my seat, and put my arm around her. She looked around at me and gave me a small smile.
I smirked back, and leaned in for a kiss. She held up her hand to stop me. "I'm trying to watch the movie!" she whispered and settled back in her seat and turned back towards the movie.
Clare's POV:
I tried to focus on the movie, but I was constantly aware of Eli sitting next to me. I smiled slightly to myself when I noticed that he didn't seem to be enjoying the movie. I saw him looking at me and I turned to him and gave him a small smile. He leaned in for a kiss, and I panicked slightly, since we were in a crowded theater, so I held me hand up and said, "I'm trying to watch the movie!"
He looked slightly disappointed, and I felt slightly guilty when I turned back to the movie.
After the movie we got up and walked back to Morty. We made small talk on the way back to my house. Once we got there I didn't see any cars in the driveway, so I decided to take a chance. "Want to come inside?"
There you for reading! I hoped you liked it. I will try to update soon, but in the meantime review please!
