RUMOR HAS IT-CHAPTER 4

I know I have to be careful with this kind of relationship we have. And, I think the best way of doing that is just to let things ride out on their own and see what happens next. I don't want to jump into something that still might not be ready to become something more again.

CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

"Ah man Clare, I'm all out of condoms, can I use your sock?" He asked me playfully as I shook my head, giggling uncontrollably at his sarcasm while watching him put on the condom. I leaned up, wrapping my arms around his neck as I pressed my lips against his, only to have him pull back and look me in the eye with those intoxicating green orbs.

"Why don't we make this little encounter a bit more interesting this time?" He asked me, breathing down my neck as he sucked on my earlobe, causing a jolt of blissful electricity to shoot throughout my body.

I nodded frantically, biting back on my bottom lip flirtatiously as our naked bodies were being pressed closely together as he whispered seductively, "Every time I get you to arch you back, you buy me a cheeseburger at The Dot."

"Hm, and what if I win?" I asked, kissing him between breaths as he leaned his forearms against the sides of my face while saying, "If you don't arch your back, then...I'll take you to a movie after this, any movie you want."

"Even a chick flick?" I asked excitingly, as he rolled his eyes while mumbling through gritted teeth, "Yes...even a chick flick. But, don't get too excited Edwards, I'm planning on having you buy me at least...twenty burgers."

"You're on," I whimpered as he lowered me onto my back, continuing to kiss down my stomach as he swirled his tongue over my sensitive hip bones. He knew those were my weakness, so he continued to suck and bite on them, hoping that I would give in so easily and arch my back to meet his sexual needs.

"E-Eli," I gasped when I felt his hands get dangerously close to my clit as I felt a smirk curl up on his lips over my thighs when he whimpered, "Come on Edwards, I know you want to toss back that pretty little head of yours."

I shook my head, clenching my eyes shut, using all of the will power that I had inside of me to remain as still as possible.

"Alright Clare, I guess I'm going to have to go to plan B," he said while quirking his eyebrows tightly together as he stood up on the edge of the bed, moving me closer to the end of it as possible, without me falling on my butt.

When I was about to wrap my legs around him, Eli shook his head and said, "I want to try a different position tonight."

"O-okay," I squeaked as he gripped my ankles gently, moving my legs as far apart as they could go. When my legs had been successfully pushed to their limits, I was nearly sent over the edge when Eli slammed into me, making my eyes roll in the back of my head.

"Oh god, this feels better than yesterday," I moaned as he laughed and said, "I read up some sex info on my Iphone app."

"They have an app for that?" I asked through my chest heavings, my lips trembling as I forced my back to remain touching my ruffled blanket. I bit back my lip as Eli hit my g-spot repeatedly, so hard that at times, I was seeing stars.

I was gripping my blanket viciously beneath me, trying to catch my breath as Eli kept his thrusts in rhythm, making my brain feel as if it was going to explode out of my ears.

Eli nodded, kissing my stomach, making his way up to my chest while using his tongue to lick my jawline, making my spine grow goose bumps. I giggled when he sucked on my earlobe while growling seductively into my ear, "Come on Clare, s-scream for me."

He pounded into me, hitting 'that spot' over and over again...and after a while, I couldn't take it...I just couldn't fucking take the pool of heat inside of my lower belly that built up quicker than I could count. I had nearly exploded as I arched my back, ready to experience an orgasm when all of a sudden, out of nowhere...Eli, pulled out.

"What the fuck are you doing? Are you fucking crazy? Who the fuck do you think you-," I spat, being cut off by Eli's gentle lips. My lower region had been throbbing in pleasurable pain as he whimpered, tugging on my bottom lip, "Now that you owe me a cheeseburger, we are ending this my way."

"Wha-Eli!" I squeaked as he flopped down on the bed beside me, lying on his back as he roughly pulled me onto him when I said blankly, "You want me to ride you? Why can't you just do all the work?"

He smirked and said, "Come on, I'm tired...and besides, I hear this will make you feel way better than stupid ole' missionary."

My heart was racing and at this point, my head was lost in the clouds somewhere so...why the hell not?

"How could I say no to that?" I asked, biting my lip as Eli's cock plunged into me, causing me to toss my head back in pleasure as Eli guided my hips back and forth. I nearly lost it when Eli leaned up, sucking on my shoulder blade as I whimpered, "T-touch me."

Eli smirked as I bounced up and down on top of him, his lips attacking my body as he hissed through gritted teeth, "Will do."

I felt his huge, warm hands engulf my breasts as I moaned, arching my back against him, feeling myself coming to a close as I screamed out Eli's name, stuttering each syllable.

"O-oh fuck," I groaned as Eli laughed, also coming to his peak, screaming my name and then shortly after saying, "I can't believe you're going to buy me two cheeseburgers."

I laughed, quickly grabbing the closest pillow I had near me and chucking it at his head...


ELI'S PERSPECTIVE

The way her chest moves up and down...

The way her lips are slightly parted...

The way she breathes lowly in her slumber...

Everything that my best friend, Clare Edwards, is unconsciously doing to me right now, is driving me insane. I don't know if it's because I'm still seeing stars from my orgasm or because Clare had passed out shortly after our little, as I like to call them 'play dates', right on top of me.

I didn't even have time to pull out before she leaned down on my chest, her head snuggling into the crook of my neck and her warm breath hitting my cheek as she breathed.

"Clare," I whispered, trying to nudge her just so she wouldn't wake up with a sore neck or anything in the morning.

She groaned in her sleep as I whispered, "Come on Clare, just move over and you can go back to sleep." I watched as she slowly pulled out of me, clenching her eyes shut while moving to the side of me, except, she snaked her arm around my waist and leaned on my chest.

I smirked when Clare shuddered in her sleep, feeling her flushed cheeks press up against my cool chest as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close and then kissing her lightly on the forehead, "God Clare, I can't even describe you anymore..."


CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

"Oh god Eli, can you slow down?" I asked him as he continued to chow down on his cheeseburger and he spoke, through muffled words, "You know, having sex with you is very tiring. I need to keep up my energy, unlike you, because you have this countless amount of sexual energy."

I laughed and blushed, "It wouldn't be so tiring if you weren't so sexually out of shape."

"Ha-ha Edwards, very funny...now, can I finish my prized meal in peace?" He asked, continuing to stuff his face with french fries. I watched him as I dove in to grab a piece of his burger to only have him shoo away my hand but, ending up giving it to me anyway.

After about twenty minutes, Eli had successfully downed two cheeseburgers with everything on it and two sides of fries, which had been accompanied with a vanilla shake that he kindly split.

"So, um Clare," Eli said, belching in between as I jerked my head back in disgust and I asked, "Can you not be so guyish for once in your life?"

"Nope, so I was thinking...," he said, trailing off while looking around and then he mumbled, "Some guy told me that he's taking you out to see a movie tonight. Now, I think he asked you out at The Dot around..." Eli glanced down at his watch and looked up at me, smirking, "Four o' clock?"

I was about to say something when he interrupted, "He also told me that after the movie he plans on taking full advantage of Saint Clare in the back of his big, scary hearse filled with dead bodies."

"Really? Is that what you heard?" I asked him in a cocky manner, as he nodded suggestively and I said, "You heard correctly."


THE NEXT DAY


CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

"So, you have sex but you're not going out?" Alli asked me as I nodded my head up and down slowly while saying, "Yes Alli, this way, both Eli and I don't have to get so complicated when it's unnecessary."

She laughed and said, "Oh Clare, you're so innocent, that sometimes, it's ridiculous."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, taking a seat at the picnic table outside of Degrassi and she smiled while saying, "Clare, are you that fucking blind? Do you happen to see the way Eli looks at you? Do you see the way that when you walk in a room, it's as if a light bulb lights his whole body up? Or, do you see the way his eyes literally fucking shine like the sun when you start to talk?"

I gulped and stuttered, "N-no, I-I mean, I don't know. I never look at his eyes that much."

Lie.

"That's like saying you don't look at his ten inch co-," Alli stopped talking and smiled, her eyes wandering behind me and I blushed, "He's right behind me...isn't he?"

Alli nodded and said, "I think it's my time to go, have a great lunch you two."

As soon as Alli left, Eli took a seat beside me, wrapping his left arm around me teasingly while asking, "So,'Mrs. I scream very loudly during sex and voice is still echoing through Elijah Goldsworthy's head', how are you doing today?"

I smiled, removing his arm from me and he asked, "Everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah sure, everything's perfect...I was just wondering, you know how we've been good friends and all and that we committed to meeting each other's sexual needs?" I asked as he nodded, gesturing me to move on.

I smiled and asked shyly, "There's nothing more between us...right? I mean, It's just, sex and friendship?"

"W-well, I wouldn't say-," I cut him off, standing up and saying quickly, "I-I gotta' go Eli. Thanks for the talk."


ELI'S PERSPECTIVE

"I swear to god Adam, I've never seen her run so quickly away from me...it was like she had a shark up her ass," I told him as he smiled and said, "Well, it sounds like someone's afraid of hearing someone admit their feelings."

I smirked and said, "I'm not afraid to say it, I think she's just afraid to hear it."

"Well, after going through that whole shit with KC and how he literally, ripped her fucking heart out and cheated on her, I don't think she's doing well in the 'trust' department," Adam said, trying to knock some sense into me.

We took a seat in Mr. Perino's class and I said, "So what you're saying is, she trusts me enough to let me shove my cock inside her but, she's too afraid to hold hands outside in public?"

"No, you idiot. I'm saying that she doesn't want to have her heart ripped out and bashed on the floor with your foot, that's what I'm saying," Adam spoke, his tone going from a bit harsh to personal.

I smirked and said, "She knows I wouldn't do that to her."

"That's what she thought about KC and look at what happened with that relationship," Adam noted, yet again reminding me of what happened as if I had forgotten what he said not even thirty seconds ago.

"Don't you remember sitting on that three way call for nearly five hours of listening to Clare cry and cry...and cry. We could barely understand what she was saying and from what I can remember, all I heard was the crying," Adam said as Mr. Perino walked into the classroom, which meant that all conversations in this room had to stop so he could have his beginning 'talk'.

"I remember it, it was hell," I whispered to Adam.

"Goldsworthy, detention after school," Mr. Perino ordered, pointing at me which caused all heads to turn and smile. I slumped in my seat as I continued to glare at the chalkboard.

I smiled, remembering how after Clare and KC kissed for the first time, she ran from Degrassi all the way to my house just to tell me what happened. When I opened my door, shocked to even see her, all that she did was nod her head while smiling and saying, "Eli, he's the one."

Even now, to this day, at this very moment, I struggle to stay comfortable in my seat because I can still hear her say, with a flushed face and a grin on her lips, "Eli, he's the one."

Yeah, look how 'true' that turned out to be.

Even though, looking back on wrapping my arms around Clare and listening to her cry after KC broke up with her, I kind of mentally thanked the asshole for giving me back the best girl in the world. When she started being with KC, I barely had any boy on girl time with her.

It was just..her and KC, all the time.

As the class went on, I thought about how I would get Clare to actually trust me with her heart, with her...everything. I mean, when I think about it, the girl is so innocent and naive, so easy to take advantage of that I can't even bare to think about what KC did to her. He tricked her into thinking that he would be there for her forever and just when she turned her back for a minute, he was with someone else.

I gulped, just thinking about how my heart sunk into my stomach when she showed up on my doorstep, drenched from the pouring rain and she admitted, "KC...he was a bad idea Eli, you were right."

"Mr. Goldsworthy, would you like to join me in detention tomorrow too?" Mr. Perino asked, making me jolt from his voice interrupting my deep concentration about analyzing Clare. "No sir…Sorry, sir, I was just...thinking, sir" I said sheepishly.

When the bell rang, I thanked the people who specifically made that bell go off at that time. Right after Adam ran out of the classroom to get to his next class, I grabbed his arm and pulled him aside in the hallway.

"Dude, I know the perfect way to win over Clare's heart," I proclaimed unconvincingly as Adam said, "Eli, you spent an hour staring into space thinking about how to win over her heart? You have to win over her mind first Eli, then tackle the heart."

"Here, take this," Adam said while digging through his bag and then handing me a pamphlet.

"What's this-," Adam cut me off and said, "If you really want to win Clare over, why not take her to a showing of her favorite author?"

I grinned, sighed in relief and said, "Man, oh my god that's perfect! I take her out, we have a good time, she starts to 'trust trust' me and then...BAM! We'll be holding hands by tomorrow."

He scoffed and said, "Take it easy slugger, just take her out as a friend."

"B-but, that'll defeat the whole purpose of the meaning of a date," I said pleadingly as Adam smiled, "Do you think if you said, 'Hey Clare, do you want to go out with me tonight to see a reading from your favorite author so I can win over your heart?'"

"Well, when you make it so blunt..." I said, smirking as Adam said, "Don't fuck it up Eli, this is your one and only chance."

"I won't," I whispered, glancing down at the pamphlet and then back up at Adam who was nearly halfway down the hallway already.

Oh crud, I forgot to ask him...

"Dude, do I still get to have sex with Clare after?" I screamed out, causing heads to turn and people to whisper to the person next to them as Adam approached me, saying in a hushed tone, "What do you think?"

"No dude, the answer is no. You don't take Clare out on an outing, then fuck her when you get home...that just takes the romance out of it. How about you just give her a kiss on the cheek after?" Adam asked and I grinned, "O-okay, I'll try to hold myself back."

"You won't try, you'll do," he ordered as I nodded, saying teasingly, "Yes sir!"

When Adam finally disappeared, I glanced around to still see people looking at me funny and I just laughed, knowing I'd convince Clare to go out with me tonight and no one can stop me from doing so.

"Hey Clare! Can I get a minute?" I asked as I watched her try and make her way through the crowded hallways.

She nodded, stopping in her tracks and I said, "W-well, I was just thinking...tonight, me and you can just hang out. I have a surprise for you, well, it's not something from me it's a surprise from someone...it's just, something that I think you'll like."

"As long as we aren't going somewhere where I get to watch you eat your brains out for two hours, then...yeah, sure, I'm in buddy," she said while playfully punching me in the shoulder and then walking back into the sea of people.

"Yeah...buddy," I whispered while glancing down at the floor...
