Clare woke up from the bright light hitting her eyes. She moaned and rolled around trying to hide herself from it. Suddenly it got darker and warm heat radiated to her body. She sunk into the bed more, getting comfortable and relaxing.
Eli looked down and smiled at her. He scooted closer to give her more heat and wrapped the blanket around her tighter. It soaked up heat like a sponge soaked up water. Clare's face fell and went limp as she started to drift off again into sleep.
Once she was fully sleeping again Eli got up and went into the kitchen. He started to make breakfast and put new food in Roscoe's bowl. The puppy gave a little yip before sniffing the food and eating. Eli smiled and petted the dog while it ate.
The food was done, but Clare hadn't gotten up and Eli didn't want to wake her. He set the food inside the oven and set it to keep the food warm, but not burn it. He walked up the stairs, wanting to sleep in with Clare. Roscoe trailed behind him and ran right into the room, scratching and whining for Clare to help him up. Eli scooped him up and set him in the middle of him and Clare. But the black and brown dog jumped over Clare and snuggled into her bent stomach.
Eli wrapped his arms around Clare, but was pushed away when she rolled over. The blanket moved up, causing Roscoe to jump off the bed before he fell. Clare moved her upper half on top of Eli and kissed him. She grabbed the collar of his t-shirt so he couldn't get away. Not that he was planning on it. Eli pulled her closer by pushing her lower back down to him. Eli's and Clare's tongues had already met and licked and moved against each other, trying to go as long as they could before they ran out of air. They could have gone longer, but a sharp, high-pitch yelp came from Roscoe and they broke apart. Roscoe clawed at the bed sheets violently and whimpered, letting out more yelps till Eli rolled over and picked him up. Clare took the dog out of Eli's hands and set him in her lap, scratching his head and rubbing his sides. Eli slid his hand down his back while smiling up at Clare.

They had eaten and decided to stay in for the day till their date. Clare wasn't up to going out and doing much, so they came to agree on seeing a movie. Of course it had to be horror for Eli. He didn't want to go see The Vow.
Clare was leaning into Eli and his arm was hanging over her as they sat on the long couch, watching random shows.
"So, what do you normally do when you're alone?" Clare asked.
"Just watch T.V. and sleep, but that doesn't sound real good to me right now."
"Let's take Roscoe for a walk." Clare sprung up and got the leash. "Roscoe! Do you want to go for a walk?" Clare said, excitedly. Roscoe barked and perked up. "Well, come on!" Roscoe barked again, and this time jumped down and ran to Clare.
Eli sighed and turned the T.V. off.

"So, how far should go? Around the block?" Clare asked.
"Yeah, that sounds right. What will do after that?"
"I don't know. We could teach him a few tricks." Clare smiled at the dog, trotting beside her.
"Sure. Oh, hey let's go back. I know this dog park we could go to. He'll have a great time. It'll waste more time."
"Yeah, that sounds better." Clare smiled and they walked back to Eli's hearse.

Roscoe was pulling on the leash, he was excited to see all the dogs running around in the fenced in play area. Once Eli and Clare were in he let Roscoe go and the puppy sprinted away and pounced on other little dogs. Clare smiled and watched the dogs play with each other and their owner's. Eli was looking around and smiled when he found who he was searching for.
"Come on." Eli whispered to Clare and led her by the hand over to a bench.
Another guy was sitting there with his dog and having him do some tricks.
"Hey Adam!" Eli smiled.
"Eli! How's it been?" Adam got up and they fist bumped.
"Good, this is Clare. She's been staying with me for a while till she can get back on her feet." Eli pulled Clare in front of him to show Adam. Clare smiled nervously.
"Oh, has she been spending some time on her back?" Adam winked.
"More than usual this day." Eli smirked and Clare elbowed him. "Anyway, I just wanted Clare to know one of my only friends." Eli joked.
"And you decided to come to the dog park for that?"
"Well, I- we have a dog now." Eli wrapped his arms loosely around Clare's neck from behind.
"Where?" Adam looked around.
"He's a Rottweiler and I don't know where he went." Eli squinted and looked around.
"Is he the one taking that other dog from behind?" Adam asked casually, and pointed his thumb towards Roscoe.
"I don't think-Roscoe!" Eli yelled and sprinted over to break the dogs up.
Clare and Adam laughed at Eli pulling his dog out of the lab. Adam turned to Clare and smiled politely.
"So, Clare. How did you and Eli meet?"
"He found me sitting alone and walk talked about it and he invited me in."
"Do you make it a habit of going home with guys?"
"No, it's a new thing I'm trying." Clare joked. "Plus, I didn't give in so easily."
"Oh he had to woo you?"
"More like give me good facts." Clare laughed.
"It wasn't a red flag when you figured out he drove a hearse?" Adam laughed along.
"I guess I didn't think much of it." Clare and Adam stopped laughing and looked over to see Eli getting yelled at by the lab's owner. "In your opinion, is Eli a good guy?"
"Do you see what he wears? He's a total badass." Adam laughed, but Clare looked at him, waiting for a real answer. "Eli is the most loyal and honest guy I know. Sometimes he makes mistakes, he's stubborn, and a little intense at times, but he'll treat you right."
"I figured that last part of already." Clare smiled.
Eli came back carrying Roscoe and gave a nervous smiled.
"So, I was just yelled at for letting my dog 'rape' that guys lab. And in my opinion that dog was loving it." Eli smiled and the rest laughed.
"Well, you're just the little humpmicter aren't you." Adam played with the puppies paws as it panted with a smile on its face.
