Eli and Clare played a couple of rounds of hide and seek. It was Clare's turn to hide again and she had no idea where to hide where she hadn't already. Eli was down to seven seconds in counting so she had to find some place to hide quick, she immediately ran in his closet.
"I'm coming" He yelled from his parents' room. He checked the bathroom, in the shower and made his way to his own room. He checked under the bed, behind the door and curtains. Clare watched him get excited when he thought he found her and really didn't and giggled at the sight. Eli heard her laugh and slowly made his way over to the closet. He slowly opened and she stood there with her hand covering her face as if that would make her disappear.
"You know you really shouldn't laugh during a game like this." He suggested sarcastically. She giggled again as he closed the door behind him.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Let's stay in here." He suggested seductively.
"You don't wanna play anymore?"
He shook his head; he leaned her back against the wall and smashed his lips into hers. She slid down to the floor bringing Eli with her. He pulled her in his lap and deepened the kiss, her arms around his neck and his around her waist. He began to tug at her shirt but she removed his hands and they continued to passionately kiss until they were interrupted by a woman who opened the closet. It was Cece, Eli's mom.
"You know you guys should really learn to make less noise." She suggested.
Clare jumped off of Eli and sat on his bed, her cheeks turning practically purple of embarrassment.
"I'm Cece; I'm guessing you're Eli's girlfriend." She smiled at her but Clare avoided eye contact.
"She's not my girlfriend" Eli answered for her.
"Why isn't she talking?"
"She's embarrassed"
"Why?"
"That you walked in on us."
"Oh" Cece muttered, "No need to feel embarrassed." She told Clare. "I'll leave you two alone. Be safe." Cece winked at Eli and he just shook his head,
"How are you acting like there's nothing wrong?"She questioned Eli.
"There isn't anything wrong." He responded bluntly.
"The first time your mom meets me she catches me making out with you in your closet."
"She doesn't care."
"Well I do. It's humiliating."
"Sorry, next time it won't happen."
"Next time?" She questioned and he shrugged in response.
"I'm going to Adams'"
"Why?"
"I can't be around you, you're ruining me Eli.
"What? How am I ruining you?"
"You just are,"
"Are you regretting what we did?" He asked.
"There's nothing to regret, it was just a kiss."
"Exactly so if was just a kiss, how am I ruining you?" Clare could hear the anger forming in his voice.
"Because…" She yelled
"Because what?" he yelled back
"Because…I don't even feel like I'm abstinent around you."
Eli all of a sudden fell ashamed and didn't even know how to respond, "Oh" he muttered. "Sorry, how was I supposed to know you couldn't kiss?"
"It's not just the kissing, it's the closet thing and being so close to you considering we haven't even known each other that long, and we're not even together and then you tried to take off my shirt, Eli."
"It wasn't like was going to force you."He said defending himself.
"You still tried."
"Well you should have told me. I can't read your mind."It came out as a sarcastic mark, which isn't what he intended.
"This is serious Eli."
"I'm being serious, if you want to have something between us, you have to tell me all this stuff and not just assume I know because I don't, okay?"
She nodded, "I'm gonna go now."
"You're still leaving?"
She nodded, "You're still mad at me?"
"I wasn't mad at you, I was just embarrassed. And I'm not leaving because I don't wanna be with you, I just can't be here. My mom thinks I'm still at school."
"Okay." He responded saddened.
She hesitated "Eli, are we together now? Just wondering"
He shrugged, "You tell me"
She nodded in respond.
"You want to me my girlfriend?" He questioned. She nodded again.
"Then ask me." He demanded.
"What?"
"Ask me straight out and tell me you want to be together."
"Why do you do this to me?"
He shrugged, "If you really want me, you'll do it."
"You're really evil." She glared at hi,
"I know", he said smugly.
Clare hesitated, "Well?" He butted in.
"Will you be my boyfriend, Eli?"
"Well I don't know. You see, it's this girl, she has beautiful blue eyes, auburn curly hair, an amazing body, she's smart and is absolutely beautiful and I was kind of hoping she would be my girlfriend instead." He said overly sarcastic.
"Should I be jealous?" She questioned just as sarcastic as he was. He smirked and leaned down to kiss her. He immediately deepened the kiss and she bit on his lip. He picked her up, her legs wrapped around his waist and she gasped as he did so. He gripped her hips and made his way to her butt and squeezed it, "Eli, the ring." She whispered against his lips.
"Sorry." He moved his hands back to her hips and kissed her again until she pulled back, "I have to go."
He pouted and put her down, "So I'm officially the boyfriend of Clare Edwards."
"Guess so." She responded.
She smiled and gave him one last kiss. She began to walk out the door when Eli called out,
"Later girlfriend," in a feminine voice. She looked back at him and laughed, "Bye Eli."
Clare smiled to herself as he made her way to Adam's house. She felt she was in something with Eli but the reaction of Adam when he found out terrified her. She didn't want to flat leave Adam for Eli, but she didn't want to leave Eli either. She stood on his porch and knocked and stepped back.
He opened the door, "What are you doing here?"
