Hey all of you wonderful readers! Your reviews mean so much to me! They inspire me to keep writing! Keep them coming! Here is chapter 4, you deserved it!
Eli's POV
I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I didn't want to face her, I couldn't face her. Oh, God I messed up our entire friendship. Great! My best friend who I love hates me now. That is just great! I was running down the stairs as I was thinking this then my mind drifted to the kiss. That kiss was amazing. Everything I thought it would be and more. Well even though she hates me I got to kiss her. I got too excited and missed a step on the stairs and fell down five steps. I landed on my back hard. I whimpered in pain.
"Eli!" I hear a voice scream. A voice I came to love.
"Oh my goodness Eli!" She yelled running towards where I lay on the ground. "Are you alright?" She asks me her words laced with concern. She looks so adorable!
"Umm…yeah. I'm okay. Listen Clare about the kiss. I-" I started but then was cut off by her lips pressed against mine in the sweetest way. It was the sweetest kiss I have ever received. I was in shock at first but quickly recovered and kissed her back. She then pulled away with a huge smile on her face. She stands up and reaches her hand toward me. I take it and with little trouble we are both on our feet. She takes my hand and kisses the back of it then leads us back to the roof. We walked through the door and she let go of my hand. Oh great! She doesn't want me. I see her walking back from the little table putting the ring on. I guess she put it there after I took off running with her following me. When she is standing right in front of me she pulls me close to her and gives me a hug. Which I gratefully return. She pulls away slightly so that we are still in each others embrace. She puts her lips over mine and kisses sweetly but I decided to deepen it. I lick her lips lightly begging for entrance. She opens her mouth to me and lets me take control over the kiss. After a few minutes of kissing her like that I pull away. I didn't want to but I know that we both needed some air.
She looks at me with those big innocent blue eyes and whispers, "Don't run away this time."
I smile and reply "Never again. I love you, Clare!" I blurt out. I feel my cheeks start to rise up in heat. I'm blushing. I can't let her see me blush and oh yeah I just told her I loved her. I had to get out of there, away from her. I wiggle out of her tight hold on my body and start walking backwards toward the door. She notices what I'm doing and grabs my hand and pulls me towards her again.
"You just told me you wouldn't run away." She said a little hurt.
"That was before I said I love you."I respond.
"Well you can't just run away without hearing what I have to say." She tells me seriously.
"Yeah but maybe I don't want to hear your answer." I stated with just as much seriousness.
"Oh. So you don't want to hear that I love you too? Okay. Well I thought you would but if you don't then I am just going to go now." She says sarcastically while walking past me and toward the door. I smirk and turn around to face her back and walk up to her snaking my arms around her waist and picking her up from behind. I spun her around a few times before putting her back on the ground. She turns to me and says, "That's what I thought." Then I pull her into the most passionate kiss ever. "I love you" she says on my lips. "I love you too. More then you could ever know. After that was said I kissed her again. We stayed like that for a very long time. I loved every minute of it!
Clare's POV
After Eli dropped me off at my house I took a shower and got ready for bed. I called Ali to tell her what had happened. This is what she said and I quote.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Clare I can't believe AHHHHHH!" I swear she is more excited than I am. Not saying that I am not excited. I love Eli and he loves me! I can't believe he loves me. That is just so unreal. I was laying in my bed just staring at the ceiling when all of a sudden my phone buzzed and my room was lit from the light on my phone. I reached to my nightstand and grabbed my phone seeing that I have a new text message. Eli. I smile and read the text immediately.
"Hey love! I wanted to remind you that I will be picking you up for our date tomorrow at 4."
"Thanks Eli! Though I would never forget!"
"Ha-ha yeah. Who could forget me? This is crazy!"
"Ignoring first comment. What is crazy?"
"How much I miss you already."
"Aw. I miss you too!"
"I love tonight though. You want to know why?"
"Of course I do! Why?"
"Because tonight is the first night I will go to sleep loving you with you actually knowing it."
"*smiling* Who knew you were so romantic?"
"Please love. What am I not? I am everything that is good."
"And modest. Let us not forget that one!"
"Whatever. Okay I am going to go so you can get some beauty sleep. Even though you don't need it at all because you are already stunning. I need it though!"
"You really know how to flatter a girl don't you? And yes you do."
"No. I know how to speak the truth!"
"Stop it! I am no beautiful!"
"Yes, yes you are! Very!"
"Well I have you fooled. You can think what you want."
"I will think the truth! Now I love you! So much!"
"I love you too! So much! I will see you tomorrow."
I put my phone back on the nightstand but to my surprise two minutes later it went off again. I saw that I had a new text from Adam.
"I hate you!"
"What? Why?"
"Eli will NOT shut up about you. I mean I can talk about you but I can't hear about how amazing or beautiful you are. The way you will never know how much he loves you or the best one she loves me too! It is driving me insane!"
"Sorry Adam."
"It is okay. I am just glad he finally told you."
"You knew?"
"Yeah. Okay got to go. See you later Clare."
Ah Adam got to love him! I thought about Eli as I drifted off into a nice peaceful sleep.
