Hey, guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've last updated. I was super busy on Sunday with Halloween and trick-or-treating. Who wouldn't dress up and get free candy? Haha… anyways, thanks for the reviews, and here's my next chapter! Enjoy :)

READ ON….

Friday the 13th started, and I felt Eli slide a bit closer to me. Our knees brushed, and a blush began to creep up my neck and onto my face. Luckily Eli couldn't see me; I didn't need him to think I was a freak because our knees touched. I mean if maybe he put his arm around me, then I could get a little freaked out, but it was just a knee, right?

Then his arm slid around me. He tried to be sly and did the fake 'I've got to yawn, oh maybe I'll just throw my arm around her and she won't notice' trick. I gave into his trick and laid my head down on his shoulder. I was determined to win this challenge, even if I was going to have nightmares for the next couple of weeks.

As I was sitting next to Eli, I couldn't help but feel awkward. The movie began with two summer camp counselors heading off to have sex. I attempted to focus on something else in the room, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything, as Eli had turned off every single light in the room. It wasn't like I saw anything that embarrassing, but Eli didn't know my opinions on this certain topic. I started to play with my promise ring instead of watching the movie. I saw Eli's hand move towards my ring. His hand stopped on mine and took my hand away from the ring.

Although no words had been exchanged, something else had changed. Eli entwined his fingers with mine. He rested our hands on a pillow on his lap. This little move on his part made me blush. I still wasn't sure if this was a dream or not. I was holding Eli's hand! If he could see how red I was now, I'd never hear the end of it.

I looked up to see the two counselors being killed. I couldn't help but scream, and in defense, I turned towards Eli and buried my head into his chest. He must've been surprised because he flinched. I stayed there not wanting to let go, and surprisingly I noticed his arm slide around me. Through the hug I could feel a smirk beginning to appear on his face.

I laid my head on Eli's chest for the rest of the movie. His arm had slid around my waist, and I realized how close we were to each other. Although the movie was scary, I felt safe with Eli's arm around me. I smiled to myself, thinking that this could actually work. I was imagining having Eli as my boyfriend when I noticed he had turned some of the lights on in the basement.

"It's over?" I really hadn't paid that much attention to the movie. I was too focused on being in Eli's arms. He smirked that devilish little smirk at me.

"I know I'm beautiful, Edwards, but you didn't even realize that the movie was over? Am I that sexy?" He continued to smirk at me while looking at our hands. He was still holding my hand, and he had started to play with my fingers. I couldn't help but blush.

"Conceited much?" I laughed at him.

"Ouch! That really hurt, Clare." His eyes caught mine. Was it possible that someone could have eyes that were that mysterious. I found myself getting lost in them, and he started to move closer to me.

Without looking at him, I said, "Was this your plan, Eli? You thought that by picking some scary movie, I'd magically appear in your arms?" He stopped dead in his tracks. It wasn't that I didn't want to kiss him; I mean look at the boy, he's drop-dead gorgeous. I was nervous. KC had been the only other boy I had kissed, and something made me believe that a kiss from Eli would be ten times more passionate than one from KC.

He stared at me with those eyes. It was as if he was trying to use his eyes to dig into my soul. I couldn't look away; they were so captivating. He smirked at me; Eli was up to something, and I wasn't sure whether I was going to like it or not.

"So… about that deal we had? Why don't we just forget about it." What? He had clearly won, wait, was he nervous? I didn't think that Elijah Goldsworthy was capable of being nervous. He grabbed his water, shook it around, and took a sip. He had a weird habit of doing that, and then he wouldn't look me in the eyes.

Eli was nervous, and I didn't know how to react. I looked at my phone, noticing that it was 11:00. I still had a good twenty minutes before I needed to have Eli drive me home. I had to break the silence; it was killing me.

"Forget about it? Eli Goldsworthy doesn't think that I can handle whatever he wanted me to do? C'mon, Eli, a deal's a deal. It can't be that bad, I bet I can han-" He stopped me mid-sentence. I found myself kissing Eli.

He had started to walk towards me as I started to talk, and me, being extremely talkative, hadn't really noticed how close he was getting to me. He had pushed away one of my auburn curls and slid his warm hand around the back of my neck, pulling me close to him. He brushed his lips against mine, and slowly, the kiss intensified. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and somehow, his hands had found their way to my hips. I found his tongue trying to make it's way into my mouth, and I gave in. I felt the smirk through the kiss and chuckled under the kiss.

Eventually we pulled away, searching for air. He smirked at me, and I could feel myself blush, again. What was it with this boy? I'd never blushed this much before in my life! Maybe, just maybe, I was beginning to fall for this boy, but he wasn't just any boy, he was special. My mysterious, hearse-driving, and green-eyed Eli was making me fall for him, and it scared me, but something in those eyes made me believe that he was willing to catch me.

So? I was slightly happy with this chapter... what did everyone think? Please review! thanks for reading. 3
