Chapter 3 Clares POV
I led Eli up to my room after he turned me down even after I threw myself at him. It either means he doesn't love me like that or he respects me to much to have sex. Whatever reason it is, its going to get really old. I told him I wanted to. The way he was acting made it seem like he wanted to. I guess I don't understand he body language.
"Clare?" Eli said bringing me back to reality. "Where did you go just now?"
"No where just la la land. Let's get ready for bed." I said while walking over to my dresser where I kept my pajamas. I knew what pair I wanted to wear. Alli had bought me a pair of blue silk short shorts with a matching tank top for my birthday while I was dating KC. I had never worn them because me and KC broke up not to long later. Now I have Eli and I am positive he will love them. I pulled them out and walked over to my bed and set them down. I looked at Eli to see what he was going to wear. I thought he would have brought a pair of shorts or something. Nope. He was wearing his boxers. Only his boxers. Seeing Eli in his boxers made me blush. I guess he noticed cause he got that evil smirk on his face. That smirk always makes me melt.
"So I am that irresistible? We're going to sleep and you still can keep from blushing? Typical Clare." Even when he makes me feel like an idiot I can help but love him. It may even make me love him more. "I'm going to get a glass of water, do you want anything?" he said with a giggle.
"Apple juice. I think we have some in the fridge. If there isn't any, water will be fine." He walked out of the door and I stood there with my eyes closed and just breathed for a minute. I turned around and started pulling off my pants and put the shorts on. Then I took off my shirt and bra and put on the tank top. I turned around to put my clothes in the hamper behind my door when I saw Eli, jaw open with our drinks.
"How long have you been standing there?" he needs to learn how to not sneak up on people.
"Long enough to see you take your shirt off." Ahh there's that stupid smirk again. I am going to hurt him one day.
"You could at least cough or something to let me know you are watching me."
"Why would I do that? That means that I cant watch you. And that's not fare."
"How about we just go to bed not? Before I stab you with a plastic spoon." He gave me a look like I hurt him. "I'm kidding Eli! I would never stab you with a plastic spoon. I love you to much."
Now he got a smile on his face and walked towards me. He pulled me in for a short but passionate kiss. It was a little awkward since he still had our drinks in his hands. When the kiss was over he handed me my drink and we sat down on my bed. When we are together we never need anything to entertain us. We could honestly stare at the wall and we would be fine. That is one of the things I love about us. Some people might think its weird but it is one of the things that makes us us.
Eli nudged me lightly pulling me out of my mind rambling. "What are you thinking about right not?"
"What makes you think I am thinking about something?"
"Are you serious?" I nodded "When you think your eyes close just a little. Almost until they are slits. And the very tip of your nose scrunches up."
"Fine. I was thinking about how perfect we are."
"How are we perfect? No one thinks we should be together. Well everyone but Alli and Adam. They are way to happy we are together."
"Well I don't care what other people think. All that matters is that we are in love and we are going to be together forever."
"Speaking of being together forever, I have something for you." He got off my bed and walkedover to his bad and pulled out the two boxes he brought from his room. Then he walked back to the bad and sat down infront of me. "I saw this the other day and I thought that you would love it." I opened the first box and it was a beautiful gold charm bracelet with dozens of charms hanging off.
"Oh Eli! It's beautiful!" I said as I pulled it out of the box to have him help me put it on. And of course it fit perfectly around my dainty wrist. "I love it. I'm never going to take it off."
"At least lake if off during your showers and when you sleep. I don't want to see it get ruined."
"Ok. Now what's in the other box?"
"This one I have had for a long time. I saw you looking at it one day and wanted you to have it." I opened the second box to find his sliver skull ring.
"Eli! I love it, but I can't take it. You have had it for years. And I don't think it would fit my fingers. My fingers are smaller than yours."
"I already covered that. I found one of your old rings and took them both into a jewler and had my ring resized. So now you have to take it."
"You have everything all figured out then don't you?" he took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto my ring finger." I will take it off only when I shower."
"Now that surprises are over, we should really get to bed. You look really tired."
"You're right. I'm exhausted."
We started shifting around the bed to get under the blanket. Eli pulled me close and whispered in my ear "I love you Clare." And I drifted off the sleep with a smile on my face.
