"Fairrrrrrr." Eli screamed happily over the phone to Clare. "Booyeahh, I'm very happy." Eli continued to explain. "Eli, you are going to make my ears bleed." Clare playfully said.

Keagan was heard in the background; "Daddy, is Clare coming with us?" Keagan asked excitedly. "Yes squirt, she's coming with us." Eli proclaimed, rubbing Keagans blond hair; messing it up.

"So Eli; when is the fair exactly?" Clare asked curiously. "Well; on Saturday night…" Eli trailed off. "Eli, that is tomorrow, as well as valentines day…." Clare pointed out the obvious. Clare didn't realize that it was their old anniversary as well. "So, will you come? Keagan will be very upset if you don't." Eli confessed, knowing he would be equally as disappointed if she decided not to come. "Okay, I will, but only for Keagan." She playfully stated. "But first I will need to finish all of my homework." She cautioned. "Okay blue eyes, then I will pick you up around seven." Eli said. "Okay, Hun, sounds like a plan. I love you." Clare passionately said. "I love you too Edwards…"

The line when dead….

February 13, 2014

Dear Dairy,

I love that man so much. I know we have only been dating for a day… but I feel complete? I feel like he's freed my soul of eternal doom. I hope I'm not going too fast, but something is telling me that this is right. I don't know, maybe I'm doing coo-coo bananas, but I guess we will see. I need to go and finish up my homework and chores; talk to you soon.

Forever yours,

Clare Edwards.

Clare closed her dairy, and put both her dairy and her pink pen under her purple silk pillow. She continued the rest of her day.

The evening of Valentines Day….

"Clare Edwards, my irresistible lover. Are you almost ready to go?" Eli chimed into the phone speaker. "Yes yes Eli. Gosh, why are you so excited about this? It's only a dirty fair…" Clare commented. "Oh, Chyea….no; no it isn't just a fair Ms. Blue eyes." Eli said before abruptly hanging up. "Humph, how rude." Clare thought to herself.

Eli POV:

I'm excited for tonight. I love her; she is the best thing that will ever happen to me. I hope to prove that too her soon… Eli trailed off doing his signature half smile.

Knock, knock, went Clare's dark brown wooden door. Clare galloped down the stairs with a towel hugging her slim body. She opened the door in surprise. "Eli, Keagan, um, come in? I will be ready very soon." Clare panicked. "Why are you here so early anyway?" She questioned. "I couldn't stand being away from you" he happily replied, seeing that only a towel was separating him from her gorgeous body. Clare sprinted to her bedroom to get dressed. Eli saw her subtle auburn curls bouncing, as she ran up the stairs. As he watched her; he smiled…

After a few minutes Eli rattled on Clare's bedroom door. "Come in." Clare ordered. "Mmm, hello beautiful." Eli said walking in; placing his hands around Clare's waist. "Flattering won't get you anywhere." Clare said while applying lip gloss. "Where is Keagan?" she asked again. "Um, I turned the TV on for him downstairs; he is watching Tom and Jerry." Eli continued telling her.

"Oh, I won't get anywhere? Huh? I beg to differ." Eli said while gently nibbling her fragile neck. Clare slowly felt tingly all over her body, as Eli lovingly harassed her neck with his mouth. Clare made abrupt eye contact with Eli, and as soon at that, the gap separating their lips disappeared. Clare slightly opened her lips, for Eli to slowly proceed into with his tongue. This lasted a couple of minutes, Clare finally pulled away. "Wow, um look at the time." She stuttered. "I think we should get going." She reminded him. "Okie Pokie. Keags, time to go." Eli blurted out loudly. And as soon as that, they were out the door, in the hearse.

Clare POV:

Why do I love him? Is it because he isn't like other guys? He isn't pushy, he isn't demanding, he is just sweet patient and down to earth. Along with his charming looks; what more could I ask for? God; thanks so much for this opportunity. I guess distance from each other really made us stronger. This might be too soon to say, but I think I would spend the rest of my life with him. He has no flaws; at least not to me. Do I really deserve him? Sometimes I have second thoughts about that….

After that car ride to the fair, both Clare and Eli were in a good mood; as well as little Keagan…

"I want to go onto the spinning strawberries' first." Keagan pointed to the spinning ride. Clare and Eli were hand in hand; "Okay Keagan, I want too go on that one as well." Clare said in all seriousness. They waited in line for a couple of minutes before they made their way into the ride. They clamped the safety bar down, until they heard it click in place. Clare sat in the middle; they didn't want to risk squishing Keagan.

Two minutes into the ride, Eli happened to be the only one getting squished from both Keagan and Clare's weight combined. All it took was one turn of the wheel for Clare to ram into Eli's personal bubble. "Sorry…" Clare apologized; looking into Elis eyes with her pair which was shimmering in the moonlight. "It's-it's okay." Eli gasped out, feeling Clare's soft hips against his. Eli desperately wanted to kiss her smooth lips, which were coated with cheery Chap Stick; but he resisted the urge.

Right then, the ride came to a sudden halt. Eli and Clare were both breathless from their closeness. "Weeeee." Keagan screeched. "That was fun!" "Again, again…" He commanded kindly. Clare and Eli smirked at his comment.

The fun filled night came to an end. It was 10:45pm; way past Keagans bed time. But luckily he fell asleep on the ride home. They eventually made it to Elis humble abode. They tucked in Keagan; and finally had the house to themselves…

"You're such a great dad Eli." Clare proclaimed with honesty. "Awe blue eyes, that is sweet of you, but it wasn't a walk though the flowers to get here." Eli paused.

Clare looked at him, knowing he had more to say. "Yea, I had two jobs, Julia didn't. She was home with Keagan most days. She was also into doing drugs. Now I'm afraid that it rubbed off on Keagan." Eli paused again. "I have never done drugs, but it bugs me that she would never give it up; not for me, not even for Keagan." Eli replied with a must tone.

"Oh Eli, don't let that get to you, you have no proof it got too Keagan. So try to forget that terrible memory." Clare said in a reassuring voice, trying not to let jealously get to her. "Clare; you are just a good role model for Keagan; why do you have to be so perfect?" Eli questioned.

Clare didn't have time to respond, let alone to think about what he just said. She crashed her lips into Elis lips. Her eyes were closed, but she managed to find a piece of hair to twist her fingers into. Eli liked the feeling of her playing with his hair; he moaned. Eli tugged on Clare's baby doll top. Clare continued to kiss Eli, biting his lower lip passionately. Low groans escaped her mouth, as Eli caressed her stomach with his musically toned hand. Clare could feel herself slowly getting wet from his comforting touch. Clare pulled away; "I can't do this now Eli; I want to, but can't…" She felt ashamed for leading him on. "Don't worry, I understand." He smiled, looking into her eyes. Clare was having second thoughts, but knew she couldn't; at least not now. She kissed him one last time, before lying on the sofa together. Their bodies tangled together. "I love you Clare." Eli stated. "I love you too." Clare replied.

And with that, they fell asleep; fell asleep to each others simultaneously beating hearts, almost acting as one…
