Author's Note: I don't know why, but I just couldn't focus while writing this chapter. Sorry it took so long to get up, I got sick ): but It's up now, that's what matters, right? Haha. So, there are a lot of alerts on this story, and me as an author, and some favorites. But still barley any reviews. Well, at least I know people like enough to come back and keep reading. But if you have any suggestions, critiques, comments, anything. Feel free to review. (:
I don't own Degrassi.
Clare came to the door, looking much hotter than the last time I saw her, even though she was wearing the exact same thing as she was two hours ago at school. Her house looked just like I'd imagine it, in some ways. But in others it was way different that I thought it would be. In her foyer, there were nice family pictures hanging all over the walls, there were flowers in vases all over, and it was really nice looking. We walked in, and went into her living room. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't really small either. It was a nice size. She had a medium colored blue couch, that wasn't too old, but wasn't really that new. Her house was just full of things that were in between. She had a brick fireplace on the far wall, with an average sized TV. Her living room connected to her kitchen, which was about the same size. It had light wood colored chairs and tables, granite countertops, and paisley flower wall paper. It was nice. It didn't surprise me at all that this is what Clare's house looked like. It was so…mediocre. Not in a bad way, it was just so…average, so plain. It was perfect.
Clare led me up the stairs, to her room.
"Clare, I understand what you are trying to do, but you cannot seduce me before we get this English work done. That must wait until after." Okay, to be honest, I suck at this whole flirting thing. I just stuck to my sarcastic comments, and undeniably hot smirks, and hoped it did the trick.
"You wish," she had no idea how true that statement was, "okay. Now let's get started. For real." We read through each others' papers. It really only took us about ten minutes to get everything done, since most of the work had been corrected at our last encounter, at the Dot.
I got up and wandered around Clare's room, just looking at her stuff.
"So, what now, Clare?" I asked. "You can feel free to start the seducing now." I winked at her. She turned the loveliest shade of pink I have ever seen. She was so adorable when she blushed.
"Keep dreaming, Eli."
"Fine, I will. And in my dreams, you are much nicer." I laughed playfully. "But if you aren't going to do it, I guess that must just be my job then." There was an awkward pause, but then we both just started cracking up.
"So, what should we do, for real?" I asked after a minute, when the laughing died down.
"Want to watch a movie?" she suggested, walking over towards her TV. She had a small stack of videos sitting next to it. I nodded, and looked over the DVDs. She chose one, then she motioned for me to pick one out, so I chose the grosses, bloodiest, goriest movie she had. She hers in the DVD player first and we sat down on her bed. It was pretty boring, but funny. We were both practically rolling on the floor cause we were laughing so hard. When her movie was done, she stuck mine in the DVD player.
After about the first twenty seconds, when the first person gets ripped apart, limb by limb, I could tell she wasn't one for blood and guts. She kept hiding her face in her hands and looking really scared. So I did what any good friend would do, or at least that's what I told myself, and I inched over towards her, until out bodies were touching, and I put my arm around her. She looked up at me, and looked uncomfortable for a few seconds, so I was about to move, but then she smiled, and leaned her body up against mine. The movie was probably going to be finished soon, since it had been playing for a while. At this point, Clare had her face buried in my chest. I hadn't really been paying attention to the movie. Especially now. She was so close. This felt so…right.
I decided to take my chances. I took my free hand, cupped it around Clare's chin, and gently lifted her face up, so her eyes were level with mine. I stared into her eyes for a minute; they were the most amazing shade of blue I had ever seen, it was like the deepest parts of the ocean. Calm and gentle, deep and thoughtful, and oh-so….hot.
After a few seconds, that seemed like hours, I slowly leaned in, I hesitated for just a second, right before our lips came in contact with each other. It was a brief moment of bliss, but she pulled away. Damn. I shouldn't have done that. She looked at me for a second, she looked conflicted. Then all worry seemed to melt away from her eyes. And she kissed me. There wasn't anything short or brief about this kiss. It was long and slow. After a minute or so, I cautiously slid my tongue out of my mouth, and across her bottom lip. Slowly, her lips parted, and I let my tongue dance playfully around her mouth. She seemed very hesitant, but slowly, her tongue started to dance with mine. Like they were dancing to the same song.
What happened next really surprised me. That doesn't mean I didn't like it, I was just taken aback. Clare pushed my tongue out of her mouth, and started gently sucking on my lower lip. I couldn't help myself, I let out a little moan. She smiled against my lips, and started to bite my lip, playfully. I couldn't take it anymore. It felt so good. I couldn't even think straight. Then, she abruptly pulled away, and I immediately started placing kissed down her neck. I made my way down to a wonderful spot and started to suck on her neck. Gently at first, then harder. She moaned. That was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. I kept going, until I realized I probably should've stopped a while ago. There would be a nice mark there tomorrow…
I licked up the side of her neck, and I landed back at her mouth. I kissed her gently, before we finally broke apart. We both sat there breathing hard. We looked at each other for a minute, but then Clare looked away, looking embarrassed. She looked at the clock. I followed her gaze. She looked worried. It was 1:30 AM? That could not be possible.
"Eli, what are we supposed to do?" She asked, looking really worried.
"My parents will freak if I come home now…" I said, nervous because I had no idea what to do.
"Well, you could stay the night here. Then just tell then you stayed over at a friend's house tomorrow." She suggested. Ha, she just asked me to stay the night. I was practically beaming. It took everything I had not to lose my cool.
"Really? You're a lifesaver Clare. Really. I owe you. I must find some sort of way to pay you back." I said with fake kindness. I could think of a few ways to pay her back, but I don't think any of these are a viable option. Especially with her purity ring.
"I'll think of something."
She went to go get changed in her bathroom, and I just stayed in her room and changed. I put on boxers and a t-shirt. When Clare walked out, I noticed she was wearing purple shorts and a thin strapped black top. She looked hot. Her hair was a bit of a mess from our previous make out session, but she had made an effort to fix it. I bet mine was a complete mess. I didn't mind.
"So, where should I, uh, sleep?" I asked, kind of hoping she wouldn't say the floor.
"Choose a side, and as long as you stay on that side, you will be fine." She said.
"I call the left side!" I shouted as I ran and plopped down onto the left side of her nice, luscious bed. She came and layed down next to me. It was late, and we were both tired, so we fell asleep pretty quickly.
