Chapter 4:
"It was crazy, Darce." Clare was flipping through a magazine, holding her phone between her shoulder and cheek, talking to her older sister Darcy. "I was so drunk, I threw up all over someone! But anyways, how's mom and dad? There still fighting? I see. Yeah. Right. Well-"
Not paying attention to where she was walking, Clare bumped into someone, causing her to drop her phone and the magazine she'd been holding.
"Shit, Im so sorry," She bent down to pick up her things, then looked up at the person she'd accidentally hit. A familiar pair of green eyes greeted her, but she wasn't sure where she'd seen these eyes before.
" Its ok," The man said, handing Clare her phone. "Aren't you the girl who barfed on me last night?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh my gosh! That was you? Im so sorry, I was so drunk!" Clare rambled on with apologies and the man just laughed.
"Are you laughing at me?" Clare glared at him.
"What? No, I just think it's funny that-"
"That what? Atleast Im nice enough to say sorry, geez. But no, you go and laugh at my apology. Nice one." She rolled her eyes. That was kind of rude, who laughs at an apology? At least he got one!
"Hey, calm down. I was laughing at how we met, again, by you doing something clumsy. Look, let's start over. Im Eli," Eli held out his hand, and after a moment, Clare shook it.
"Im Clare, Clare Edwards."
Eli smirked. "Anyways, Clare, could I buy you a coffee, for laughing at you? I know this place, called Above the Dot, just down the street-"
"Wait, shouldn't I be buying you a drink? Im the one that puked on you, remember?" Clare giggled.
"Oh, shut up and take the offer, Edwards." Eli winked, and held the door of the bookstore open for Clare. Blushing, Clare walked out of the store, and they walked to Above the Dot.
- At The Dot:
"So, Clare, you don't seem like the type to get that drunk, but what I saw last night.." Eli took a sip from his drink, and looked at Clare expectantly.
"Well, see," Clare blushed a little. "It was my birthday, and I was trying to forget some things, and I guess I kind of got carried away."
"ooh, you you were the birthday girl? I was just there because my friend Adam was invited by his friend Fiona-"
"Fiona? She's my bestfriend, we live together. And yeah, I've met Adam before." Clare smiled. "He's actually very nice, I wonder why he still hasn't rubbed off on you yet.."
Eli held his hand to his chest. "I am so nice!"
Clare's eyes narrowed. "Oh yeah? I kinda remember you getting really mad at me when I barfed on you last night. And, you were laughing at me earlier."
"Yeah, But I did buy you a drink. That's pretty nice, considering your the one who owes me." Eli pointed out.
Clare giggled. "True. Well, is Mr. Nice Guy free tonight for dinner? It's a Saturday, so I don't have work, and maybe I could make it up to you, I know a great resturant we could try."
"Is this a date?" Eli smirked.
Clare rolled her eyes. "No, sorry, I dont do dates."
"Not even with Mr. Nice Guy?" Eli fake pouted.
"Not even with Mr. Nice Guy." Clare stated.
They laughed a little, and exchanged numbers.
"I guess I'll see you at 8?" Eli stood up, and Clare followed behind him.
"Yeah, I'll text you my number."
Clare and Eli went there seperate ways, and Clare headed home. When Clare got home, she noticed both her roommates were out. She glanced at the time.
2:45.
She had an hour to make reservations to White's, and find out what she would be wearing. Sighing, she called Alli and Fiona to help her out.
Uhh. Bleh. Not a good chapter, whatever :P Review :) xoxo, J.S
