Clare's POV:
At the pool house:
Eli pulled into the driveway of the pool house. There was a different car parked in the vacant spot next to Eli's car. Clare looked at the car for a minute and realized who it belonged to. She made her way into the house to find someone sitting on the couch. Clare walked over to the person and said,
"What are you doing here?" Clare asked.
"I got lonely, and I wanted to see your guy's new home." Adam said.
"Well you could have knocked or maybe called." Eli said.
"And why are you driving your mom's car?" Clare asked.
"First of all, I tried to call but it went straight to voicemail. And second, my car is in the shop." Adam said.
"Fine, we were just about to order dinner. Will you be joining us?" Clare said.
"You bet. I'm famished." Adam said.
"Does pizza sound good?" Clare asked the boys.
"Pizza sounds great." Both boys said.
I ordered 3 large pizzas with everything on it. All we had to do now is wait. Mostly Eli and Adam talked. They talked about how psyched they are to finally be going to the same school together. I was pretty excited too. I laughed a little listening to their conversation. They were such children sometimes. All in all, I loved them both.
Forty-five minutes later, the pizzas came. I was so hungry I was shaking. That cannot be good for the baby. Sitting down, I ate most of the pizza by myself. I was on the last slice of my pizza when Adam said,
"Wow Clare, you must really be pregnant if you can eat like that." Adam said.
"Shut up. You're just jealous of my baby." I say with a mouth full of food.
"Who's the old married couple now?" Eli said laughing.
"Shut up Eli!" Adam and I both said.
Eli shut up, and we all finished our food in record time. I got up to clear the empty glasses and pizza boxes when Adam and Eli jump up to do it for me. I felt really special that they care enough to do that.
Eli's POV:
Wow, Clare can really eat. She finished her pizza faster than Adam or me. It was sort of funny that Adam and her were arguing like an old couple. It seems like they always get into little tiffs every time they see each other. It's really amusing to watch.
When we were finished eating dinner, I saw Clare getting up to clean up the dinner mess. I nudged Adam, and we got up and did it for her. I really don't want her doing extra things right now while she is pregnant. She could hurt the baby. I want both Clare and our child healthy.
In the kitchen: Adam and I
"Can I ask you a question?" Adam said.
"Sure dude." Eli said.
"Do you love Clare. I mean really love her?" Adam asked.
"Yes, she is my life now. She makes me happy, she in a way completes me." Eli said.
"I'm really glad. But just remember, if you hurt her, I kill you." Adam said; being serious.
"I promise I will never hurt her." Eli said holding his hands up.
"Good dude. It would be the pits trying to replace you." Adam said laughing.
"You could never replace me. I'm too special to you." Eli said nudging Adam.
Adam was about to reply when Clare came in.
"Hey guy. Do you want to have a sleep over, it's Saturday night anyways. We could watch movies and play a game." Clare said.
"Sure. I just have to call my mom and tell her where I am going to be." Adam said.
"Cool. I am going to go change. I will be right back." Clare said walking away.
When Clare was out of hearing range, Eli whispered to Adam,
"I feel the need for a little pay back."
"What do you mean?" Adam said.
"Just wait here." Eli said walking away.
I tip toed over to the closed bedroom door, and I waited a second before I busted open the door. Clare was sliding off her pants, she turned around and screamed.
"What the hell Eli?" Clare said yelling.
"What you did it to me this morning, I thought I could repay the favor." Eli said.
"This isn't funny, you almost gave me a heart attack." Clare said.
"I thought it was hilarious. And you look so cute when you're mad." Eli said.
"Glad you think so." Clare said.
"I most certainly do." I said walking towards Clare. I walked closer until we were only inches apart. I leaned over and I kissed her softly on the lips to let her know that I love her. She kissed me back, and we remained that way until Adam busted through the door. Clare was only in her panties and a white tank top. She quickly jumped behind me. I turn toward Adam, and he is scarlet from embarrassment.
"Dude, ever heard of knocking?" I said.
"You were taking forever, so I thought I would come see what was taking so long." Adam said.
"I am so embarrassed." Clare mumbled.
"I will go wait in the living room." Adam said while walking out.
Clare moved from behind me and quickly grabbed her pajama pants. She hopped up and down trying to get them on fast. I chuckled a little before going over to help her. I picked Clare up and placed her on the bed. I slid her legs into the pink pajama bottoms, and had her stand up to pull them on the rest of the way. I could tell she was still embarrassed from Adam seeing her only in her panties. I kissed her once more to assure her there is nothing to be embarrassed about; Adam is the one who barged in, not the other way around.
Adam's POV:
Clare and Eli have been in the bedroom for fifteen minutes now. I was getting really impatient, so I decided to just walk in. Bad idea. I walked into their room to find Clare in only her panties making out with Eli. I am completely disturbed to say the least. I really didn't need to see what was going on in there; and some how I wanted them to hurry up. I am really embarrassed by the whole thing. I think Clare was mortified by the whole thing as well.
Five minutes later, Clare and Eli finally came out of the room. Clare was flushed from all the color in her face, and Eli was smirking. I guess things went well in there? I don't really want to know. All I wanted to do was start a movie or play this so called game Clare wanted to play. She was always coming up with crazy ideas. You have to prepare yourself for things with her.
Of all games, Clare picked her version of truth. You play using an empty bottle. You spin the bottle like you would in 'spin the bottle'. If it lands on you, you have to tell a true but random fact about yourself. Clare was actually pretty creative when it came to this game. Things could get pretty interesting around here.
No POV:
The three teenagers took turns spinning the bottle. Clare went first. It landed on Eli.
"Okay Eli, you have to tell me a random fact about yourself." Clare said.
"I went to Cats when I was New York last year." Eli said.
"Hahaha, Are you serious?" Clare said laughing.
"Yes, now it's my turn to victimize one of you." Eli said.
"Fine, Spin!" Adam said. The bottle spun around about three times until it landed on Adam.
"I hate my life!" Adam said.
"Get over it and tell us a fact." Clare said.
"Fine. I'm allergic to carrots." Adam said.
"Remind me to feed you one of those." Eli said. Adam spun the bottle, and it finally landed on Clare.
"Time to fess up Clare. Tell us a fact." Adam said.
"I made out with Ali once." Clare said.
"Whoa what?" Adam and Eli aid.
"I was drunk, it just sort of happened. She is a really good kisser." Clare said.
The rest of the night, Clare, Adam and Eli took turns telling facts and secrets about themselves. They all got to know another side of their friends that they didn't know.
Clare's POV: The next morning.
I woke up laying in the middle of the living room floor with my head on Eli's lap. I rolled over and saw Adam passed out on the couch and the T.V. turned onto some movie channel. I reached for the remote and turned the T.V. off. I tried to sit up, and I realized I had to use the restroom really bad. I quickly got up and made a bee-line to the potty. I think I must have woken up Eli because when I was finished in the bathroom, Eli was sitting on our bed waiting for me.
"I'm shocked you didn't break in the bathroom like I did to you yesterday." Clare said.
"I would have, but Adam's here and I don't think he would want to hear what I would want to do to you." Eli said.
"Feisty, I like it." Clare said while giving Eli a quick kiss on the lips.
"I have my moments." Eli said.
I kissed Eli once more before I left to go make breakfast. I don't know if you count popping a few toaster strudels in the oven as cooking, but that's what I made for breakfast. It was what I was craving. That and a side of cream cheese to dip it into. I know it was an odd combo but I loved it.
When the strudels were all finished, I grabbed them and placed them on a plate. I walked to the table and placed them in the center. A few minutes later, Adam and Eli walked in and sat down with me. I ate three strudels. The boys gave me a grossed out look watching me eat mine with the cream cheese, but I really didn't care. Eli has no room to complain. He is the one who got me pregnant after all.
We pretty much ate breakfast in silence. It was comfortable though. When I finished eating, I got up and started to do the dishes. There were only a few plates and a bowl. I decided to put all of it in the dishwasher. I bent over to place them in the machine, and I suddenly felt sick. I dropped the plate I was holding and ran to the bathroom. A loud shatter boomeranged around the house as the plate broke into a million little pieces. I didn't care. All I cared about was not barfing onto the hardwood floor.
Ugh! Blowing chunks is just one of the many perks of being pregnant. It was really gross. I have only had morning sickness a few times, and all of them have been pretty brutal. I sat on the white plush rug in the bathroom feeling like I was dying when Eli came into the bathroom.
"Are you alright?" He asked while rubbing my back.
"Yeah, it's just morning sickness." I replied.
"I'm sorry baby. Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked.
"No. I will be out in a minute to clean up the mess I made." I said.
"No. I will clean up the broken plate. Don't worry about it." He said.
"Thank you." I said.
Eli leaned in to kiss me when I suddenly felt another wave of sickness take over. I stared into the porcelain bowl waiting for another round of utter sickness to take over my fragile body. Eventually it did. By the time it did, Eli had left to go clean up my mess. I just sat there crying because I felt so gross. I thought I was crying fairly quietly, but apparently not. The door to the bathroom slowly creaked open, and in came Adam. He didn't look disgusted at all. He looked caring. He slowly sat down next to me and held out his arms for me to lean into. I was sobbing so hard that all I wanted was a little comfort. I leaned in and Adam rubbed my back soothingly. He was a really good friend to be here for me. He was more of a best friend to me than Ali was.
Adam and I sat there for ten minutes before Eli came in and took over for Adam. I didn't really care who was holding me, as long as they didn't let me go. I needed comfort more than I needed to be left alone. I sat there for a really long time. I didn't even notice Adam leave to go home. All I noticed was how loving Eli was. I decided to get up after a while. I went into the bedroom and got some clothes and decided to take a hot bath to relax away all of my discomfort a little.
Eli's POV:
Clare was so uncomfortable. There was absolutely nothing I could do to help her either. So when she decided to go take a bath, I took the liberty and tidied up a little around our humble adobe. I cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash, and I picked up the living room. I think she deserves a clean house.
Finished with cleaning, I decided to go check on Clare. I let myself into the bathroom. When inside I found Clare asleep in the tub. She looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake her up, but it's unsafe for her to sleep in the bath tub filled with water. I gently shook her, and her eyelids slowly fluttered open. I smiled at her and she turned bright red. I gave her a quizzical look and said,
"What's wrong?"
"I'm completely naked. That's what's wrong." Clare said while trying to cover herself.
"Clare. I love your body, there is no need to hide it from me." I said to her.
"Did I fall asleep in here?" She asked.
"Yeah, I didn't want you to drown so I decided to wake you up." I said.
"Oh, well thanks." Clare said.
"No problem." I said while leaning down to kiss Clare.
"I should probably get dressed." Clare said.
"I suppose." I said.
I left Clare to finish her bath and get dressed. I decided to go grab some clothes for myself to get a shower with. I walked into the bedroom when I heard Clare's phone go off. I walked over to it and opened it. It was a text from K.C. The text said,
"We need to talk."
A/N: Another cliffhanger…I don't know what to do with myself. Okay, everyone thought it was going to be K.C. waiting for them in the house huh? Well I like to play with you guys a little bit. So I decided to have Adam show up. I wanted a comedy chapter, it will help lighten the mood for later chapters. The next chapter will have plenty of drama in it. I will try and throw a little comical relief in the future to lighten up the mood. Thank you all so much again for the review. They make me extremely happy. If I get some reviews on this chapter, I will update sooner! I appreciate all of you.
