EVERYONE! CHAPTER 7! Sorry for being so late. Writers block sucks. Well here you go. Hope you enjoy!
My eyes open lazily. I was alone. Clare wasn't next to me, nor was she in the room. I was too tired to get up a look for her. The sound of a shower shut off and about a minute later Clare came into the room. Her hair was wet and she was only wrapped in a pink and yellow towel. She opened her dresser, I finally decided to speak up. "Morning beautiful." I sat up stretching my arms out.
She turned around, grasping her chest where the towel was tucked in to hold itself up. "Oh god! You scared me. I thought you were asleep."
"Just woke up." I readjusted my shirt, from being moved around and twisted as I slept.
She grabbed some clothes and ran out of the room. She came back dressed in leggings and a dress. "You didn't see anything did you?"
I smirked. "Sadly no." She jokingly slapped me. "Hey! Hey! It's not my fault you're sexy." She stopped and bit her lips to hold back a smile, however her cheeks blossomed red. I smirked, "I love it when you blush." I stroked her cheek with my thumb. She looked away. "So what are we going to do on this lovely Saturday?"
She glanced back. "We can go to The Dot."
"Out in the open?" A smile grew from my sarcasm
"We hung out at The Dot before we dated. Why can't we still?"
"Yeah I know. My treat." I got off her bed putting on my belt and shoes before trotting down her stairs. Outside I stopped her, "Wait. I want a kiss before we are in prohibiting area." She giggled as she pecked a kiss on my lips. "No Dammit. A real kiss." I pulled her into my arms, colliding our lips together. It wasn't as passionate as I would of wished but she pulled away and we started walking to The Dot.
We got to The Dot, taking a table by the window. Peter sauntered over, sighing once he saw me. "What can I get you?"
"Hey Peter!" Clare said with joy in her tone.
"Hey little Edwards." He leaned over to give her an awkward hug. "How are things? Have you heard from Darcy?"
"Yeah. She sent us a letter last week. Things are good. With both me and her." She replied glancing at me with a smile when she said me.
"That's nice. Tell her I say hi. So you want anything?" He held a smile looking down at Clare.
"Yeah. I'll have a vanilla milkshake and some fries."
I spoke up, "And I'll have a Pepsi and a hamburger, no tomatoes." Peter glared at me with a straight face. Strangely it actually spooked me.
"So, I was thinking." Clare grabbed my attention again. "Let's change it up. Why not I come over to your house for a few nights this week?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Won't your parents get mad at you sneaking out?"
"Who cares? I just want to go to your house for once." Our drinks came and she sipped from her milkshake immediately.
"You've been there before. What's so different now?" I drank from my soda.
She whispered, "'Cause now I'm your girlfriend."
I set my cup down. "Yeah… girl-friend."
"What's that tone for?" She snapped at me.
"Nothing. I'm just getting a little annoyed of the hiding and sneaking around." I shut up once Peter set our food down. I watched him until he was out of earshot. "I understand not hurting Adam, but what about us. Do you even care?"
"Of course I do. It's just… Adam."
"Will get over it soon enough." I sighed. "After you guy's date last night. You were going to tell him you just want to be friends. Give him a week or so and he'll bounce back and we can come into the open. What happened to that plan?"
"It's still in play. I'll tell him Monday at school." She pleaded.
"Fine. Monday." I grunted and leaned back taking a bite of my burger. An unusual taste entered my mouth. It was gross. Like, tomatoes. I looked at my burger, there they were. The grotesque little red devils. I glanced at Peter who smirked and motioned that he was watching me.
