Eli's POV
...
...
She pulled me closer to her body I felt her breast push against me, that didn't help my…issue downstairs.
I also felt her heart pound against mine.
I bit her bottom lip, gently.
She was taking in slow long breathes making her chest rise up and down she unexpectedly feels a rush of adrenalin.
I made my kissing rougher, I stopped holding back on her….it doesn't give us justice.
I could sense she got startled by my urgency, but she kisses back trying to catch up with my roughness. This was better than my imagination. I pictured kissing Clare but never expected to be given that high of a privilege.
In unison Clare and I pulled away, I immediately started to miss her mouth against mine. I was trying to re-fill my lungs with air, as was she. I stared into her blue eyes that make my body function improperly.
"Clare, I can't be friends with you…because I like you too much."
Her chuckle rang through my ears as she put her face against my chest, muffling her laughter. I smiled.
"I noticed." She said as she leaned to give my neck, right where you check for my pulse she gave it a gentle kiss. I wonder if she felt my heartbeat speed up.
I held her closer to me; I felt her smile against my neck.
So this is what Heaven feels like, I would presume.
But this isn't a utopia; there still was a problem….
It's been a problem since I was a kid.
Jake.
"Jake." I tried to disguise the tormenting tone through my voice. By tonight Clare could see right through me. That thought doesn't scare me as bad as I thought.
Clare immediately pulled out of my arms; I felt this empty void in my stomach. Clare's facial expression flashed worry. This brought worry to me.
"I'll take care of it, tomorrow night?" she leaned back on me, and smiled,
"If you want this…" she pointed between us. "To keep on continuing?"
I smirked, "You'll get sick of me."
"Doubt it." As she leaned into me, I found her lips….and my mind cease to stop worrying. I don't understand how my mind could just stop working. Clare presses her body closer to me.
Clare pulled away once more, my eyes locked onto her once more.
"We would have to keep us…a secret for a while."
I gave a quizzical look.
"You don't know Jake…the way I know Jake" she paused as she looked away from me.
"He'll do something he will regret…I can't or won't stand it…if he hurts you." She stuttered, I fought it cute.
My eyes soften as I lifted her chin to face me; her skin was so soft like satin.
"The only way for him to hurt me is if he hurts you." My hands cup her face.
"You're my weakness Clare."
Clare's lips crash onto mine.
…..
…..
I woke up with a smile on my face. It sort of looked out of place in my all black room. Band posters filled the walls of the dark gray paint. Clothes were scrambled everywhere. My clock in bright red numbers were
10:05 am
My mind found it back to my Clare. Could I call her my Clare? Is it too early?
She is technically breaking up him tonight….so why am I freaking out?
Maybe because I am gaining a step-brother, I punch the side of my bed out of impulse. My fist is filled with pain instantly after my fist leaves the wood. My other hand grabs it like it would take away the pain.
I heard a faint knock at the door. My mother's head peaks out of the door. My jaw is tense.
"Baby Boy, do you want to talk about last night?" she asked.
"No." my voice didn't hold any sort of hesitation.
CeCe frowned as she pushed back her blonde hair behind her ear. CeCe and I look nothing alike. It is very comical with my family.
CeCe didn't push me any farther,
"Today is your Cousin's birthday."
Johnny 8 year old image took over my mind. For a little kid he wasn't bad. He was my favorite cousin. I felt excitement fill my inner core. I missed my little cousins and my aunt. Maybe possibly I could bring Clare? I mean she lives right next door.
"I won't be able to come…until later." My mother's voice filled the silence.
"Why?" I asked.
"Glen-"
I interrupted her like an immature brat,
"If it has anything to do with him, I don't want to hear it."
My mother's eyes began to water up. I promptly started to feel remorseful.
I wrapped my arms around my mother.
"I'm sorry."
CeCe clung onto me.
"You better get going, the party is going to start." Her voice with every word became more cheerful.

Clare's POV
…..
…
I was reading one of my favorite books, Invisible Monster by Chuck Palahniuk. It was so hard to focus, which was unlikely for me. My mind kept thinking about last night. Unconsciously, I touched my lips remembering the taste of Eli's sweet lips.
It still ceases to amaze me how honest I am with him. Last night after the amazing make-out session, I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks. Well after that…we just talked for hours.
About our different religious views or our favorite colors.
Even though I haven't known him for that, it feels like we have been like this since….forever.
I sound like a love sick teenager.
Love?
Could it be? I never felt like this with any guy I have been with.
He makes me feel dangerous but protected at the same time.
Suddenly my thoughts were disturbed by the sound of knock at the door.
I mark my book and set it down. I took off my pattern blanket that kept me warm in this cold house. I got up to the front door and opened the door.
I smiled as I found that familiar smirk I have grown to tolerate and adore.
I rest my head on the side of the door.
"Morning." I mimicked his smirk.
Eli gave me a gentle kiss on my cheek and then my ear
He whispered, "Good Morning, Clare."
My eyes fluttered shut from the pleasure that shivered down my spine.
I noticed Eli's "lighter" attire. It was less black than usual.
"Why so cheerful?" I pointed to his clothing. Eli's eyes followed the direction of my hand; he raised his hands as he said,
"I decided to be a jock." Sarcasm burst through his voice.
I playfully punched his shoulder.
"Ouch!" his voice kept his joking sarcastic tone.
"The real reason?" I pried.
Eli grabbed my hand very theatric,
"I, Elijah Goldsworthy cordially invite you, Clare Diane Edwards to join me as my date to the event of the week." He gave me a quick wink.
"I gladly accept your invitation" I decided to play along.
Eli kisses my hand, my breathing becomes uneasy from the contact his lips colliding with my body.
"Where does this event take place?" I asked as Eli stands up normally.
"Right next door from where we stand...My cousin's birthday party."
…
….
...
I watched as Eli was attacked by 7 kids, laughter filling the air. Eli looked very adorable as the kids chased him around. Eli didn't seem to mind being attacked, he was smiling away. It was cute watching him play with the kids. It was humorous seeing him act like a little kid, another side I have come to…
Lo- enjoy.
I was greeted so sweetly by Eli's family. Of course I introduced as a friend. Deep down one day I cannot wait to be introduced as his girlfriend.
I know it's for his own good, to wait until Jake has calmed down about the break up before Eli and I could be seen by other people. I couldn't risk Eli getting hurt. I haven't told him that he was my weakness, too.
Hayley came back to sit by me with two lemonades in her hand.
Eli's Aunt Hayley is the sweetest women ever.
"Thank you so very much." I said as I took a large sip out of the cool liquid.
"No problem, sweetheart!" she smiled as she pushed back a piece of her raven color hair, like Eli's dark hair.
My eyes followed Eli as he ran from the kids who adored him, you can tell by just looking. I tilt my head as I smile.
"So how long have you two lovebirds been together?"
My eyes shot up to Hayley, I was flabbergasted.
"I…uhh...We are just friends." I muttered.
"Hahahaha, sweetheart." She paused to take a drink.
"The way you two look at each gives you away."
"Excuse me?" I raised my eyebrows
"I know you're a smart girl, sweetheart. The way you and Elijah stare at each other….it's beautiful. He stares at you with pure adoration and you return the same look. I haven't seen that look in such a long time….it's refreshing. Do you love him?" deadpanned Hayley.
I looked over at Eli who keeps glancing at me, I blush uncontrollably.
"Yes, he doesn't know that though." I felt my shoulders slump.
I am in love with him. I want to scream it! I couldn't lie to Hayley…or myself any longer.
"Sweetheart, any person could see that boy is absolutely in love with you." My eyes locked onto Hayley. Hayley pretends to zip her lips as she looked forward.
My heart stopped as I felt someone pick me up. I heard Eli's laughter mix with the laughter belonging with the children. He was carrying me bridal style.
My heartbeat sped up as he spun me around. I felt like I was flying, my laughter conjoined with everyone else.
I could feel Eli's heartbeat as he pressed me closer to his body.
I felt Eli plop us down to the ground. I looked into Eli's eyes, his emerald eyes were all I could see. For that mere second it was just us. I raise my hand to glide over his cheek, his eyes fluttered shut; like my eyes earlier when he whispered in my ear.
Suddenly the children jumped on his, making a dog pile. We all started laughing.
Johnny, Eli's favorite cousin… he pointed him out when we first arrived. When we first arrived he ran into Eli's arms automatically.
Johnny started messing with Eli's wavy hair. Eli picked up over his shoulders; laughter filled the child's lungs.
"Any last words, Jonathon?" the child scrunched his nose just like Eli when people call him, Elijah.
"Revenge is sweet, Elijah." Johnny reminded me of Eli.
The other children climbed all over me, I was fond of Johnny's little sister, Violet.
She clung to my ankles, I giggled as I tickled her.
Suddenly a voice broke up the scene apart,
"Clare?"
