"I can't believe you read that." She said completely embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't know you loved my smirk that much." She blushed to herself.
"Okay uhm I'm gonna get dressed." She said avoiding the topic. She grabbed some clothes out of her bag. She went in the bathroom and changed into some shorts and a plain blue shirt. She hopped on the bed and grabbed her laptop and closed the document.
"Can I finish reading it?" Eli blurted out.
"What? No, you weren't even supposed to read it in the first place."
"Please…" He pouted. "No, it's embarrassing."
He looked down, kept his lip pouted, looked back up and gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, just don't laugh." Eli quickly nodded; she reopened the document and handed it to him. He began reading where he left off, "Ohmygod, his kisses, they're so perfect. He is such a good kisser and it's so hard to stop. His lips taste so good; he is just too perfect to the point where I can believe I'm actually with him. He is just too perfect, He's beautiful."
Eli looked up at her and smirked, "You make me sound like some sex god."
She blushed and looked down, "You kind of are."
He titled her chin up to look at him, smirked before he leaned down and captured her lips. He rubbed his thumb against her cheek bone. Clare hesitantly softly gripped his neck with her hands. Eli sucked on her lip and he slipped his tongue in her mouth and she didn't hesitate to do the same. She was leaning back and Eli gently pushed her down and hovered over her not breaking the kiss. He began to kiss down her jawline to her ear and softly nibbled on it, "Are you okay?" He whispered in her ear. She swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded. He moved down to her neck and began to give her soft kisses making sure not to leave any hickeys. As he kissed along her neck, she gripped his hair and softly moaned. He hesitantly began to move his hands up her shirt, massaging her stomach. He began moving his hands up to the sides of breasts when Clare pulled back.
"Maybe we should start working on the test and s-stuff." She said embarrassed. Eli wiped his bottom lip with his thumb and nodded. He went through his book bag, grabbed his science binder and hopped on the bed. They were about 15 minutes into it, the session was good but Eli couldn't bare the tension and awkwardness that was still in the air.
"Did I do something wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable?" He asked.
"Uh, nope. I'm fine." She weakly smiled.
"Are you positive?"
"I just didn't want to move that fast, I'm fine Eli. I promise." He smiled, nodded and kissed her on the cheek. The tutoring went on for about the next hour and fifteen minutes when they decided that Eli got enough in for today.
"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" He asked.
"Uhm no-why?"
"Do you want to go to the pool? My mom said our family is going to this pool at one of my cousins' house, do you want to come?"
"I don't know-It will be really awkward considering I'm not a part of your family." She said basically telling him no.
"I don't even talk to them, I just want you there with me, please."
She bit her inner lip and nodded, "Okay, but I don't have a bathing suit."
"We can go get one now if you want." She nodded and changed her in the house shorts to white shorts and Eli got ready in the bathroom.
About an hour later, they were in the mall. "So like what stores have girl bathing suits?" Eli asked completely clueless. She slightly laughed at his confusion. While walking, Clare looked through the window of some stores and saw some bathing suits. She stopped in one of them and looked around, "Uhm can you like go sit over there?" She gestured to the chairs. "I don't want you to look at me while I get it." Eli blushed and fulfilled her request.
She was looking through all the bathing suits and one caught her eyes. It was a violet looking color two piece. The top was strapless but the bikini and the top were a solid color (1) She didn't know if she should get it so she asked went over to Eli, "What do you think of this one?" She asked. He looked up and instantly blushed, "I like it."
"Can I show you one I might like that even more?" He asked.
"Sure." She smiled completely oblivious to his scheme. He looked around and smirked as he pulled out a one piece. It had a floral pattern. It was completely open in the middle, practically only covered her nipples, it left her stomach exposed and it was too revealing for Clare's taste. (2)
"I am so not wearing that. I'm practically gonna be naked." Eli raised his eyebrows and she playfully glared at him.
"Especially if I wear that around your family, they will think I'm some whore."
"Fine, Fine. I like the one you picked out already too." She smiled and walked up the cashier taking out her wallet but Eli gave them money before she could even get her money out.
"Eli, what are you-"
He interrupted, "My treat for getting such a cute bathing suit." He smirked and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled and they made their way to Morty. In about 20 minutes, they had arrived back in his house.
"Guys, we're leaving early tomorrow so make sure you get some sleep tonight." Cece advised. They both nodded and went back up to Eli's room. Clare dropped her bag in the corner and hopped on the bed.
"You know I'm actually really excited to see you in that bathing suit." She blushed a deep red, "Thanks I guess…?"
Eli smirked and turned on the television. Clare leaned against his shoulder. Eli moved slightly for her to get up and made her sit in between his legs. She laid her back on his chest, her head on his shoulders. Eli's hand was on his knee and she interlocked their hands.
"Eli, I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow."
"Why?" He asked.
"About meeting your family."
"Are you afraid they won't like you or something?"
She looked up to him and nodded. "They're gonna love you, you're you. Don't worry about it. And my family are very accepting, though weird but very accepting." He smiled as he placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
They lied down cuddling. They abandoned the TV and Clare leaned into his chest and they both fell asleep not waking up for the rest of that day.
