Eli POV
Corey hasn't spoken to me since early today and it was really beginning to bug me. Her blocks have been up for hours and I don't think she has any intention in putting them down. I don't understand what could I have possibly done to make her this mad at me. I wonder if it was because of the kiss. I knew I shouldn't have kissed her but I couldn't help myself. I slipped my black v-neck T-shirt over my head with a sigh. I decided on wearing some black skinny jeans and some black and white Nikes with it. The party started 30 minutes ago. I really didn't want to go since Corey is upset with me, but knowing her she will probably be wearing something really short. Which will cause all the guy's hormones to go berserk including mine. But I know if I don't go some guy will try to take advantage of her and besides Moriah needs a wingman. I grab my leather jacket, house keys, and my cell phone then as Im walking out my bedroom door I bump into Corey. I take a moment to take in her outfit. She was wearing a tight purple strapless dress that stopped like an inch under her butt. She had black open toe heels with a half sleeve leather jacket. Her hair was down and her curls were tamed and shiny, some were slightly covering her right eye while the rest fell down her back. Her smell was just as intoxicating as her appearance was.
"You look beautiful, Corey," I told her once I found my voice. She didn't reply she just walked away from me. I sigh as I follow her downstairs.
"OMG, Corey you look amazing!" my mom said to her. Aunt Rose, Aunt Mia, and Grandma Jeanine all agreed. But my dad, Uncles, and Grandpa Abe didn't like it so much.
"No, that dress is to short. You need to go change now," Uncle Dimitri said.
"Dimitri she looks fine. And I do recall Rose wearing a dress that short before," Aunt Mia said.
"But Rose was 17 Corey is only 14. I agree with Dimitri," my dad said. The girls sigh and roll their eyes. It got really annoying when they did it together like that.
"She will be okay she has Eli and Moriah to take care of her," Rose said. Then she kissed Dimitri probably trying to distract him from the conversation. I've seen my parents do that to each other plenty of time to notice it. I heard Corey making gagging noises and I chucked at her. She glared at me in return.
"That's not going to work Roza," Dimitri said when they finally stopped sucking face. This was a losing battle and everyone could tell. That is until Corey stepped up to the plate.
"Daddy, I'll be fine. Eli and Moriah won't let anything happen to me, I promise," she whined a little and give him "the look" that got every male in this house including me to do anything she wanted. Im not sure which one got him to crack but sure enough he sighed and nodded his head. She squealed and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Daddy," she said like a baby.
"Where is Moriah?" Grandpa Abe asked. Him and Grandma Jeanine aren't really my grandparents but since I never got to meet mine they filled the void. Before anyone could answer him Moriah came running down the stairs. He was wearing blue jean pants, a red polo shirt, and a black leather jacket. At least he didn't smell like road kill anymore.
"What's with the leather jackets?" Eddie asked us.
"It's a new style," I said while shrugging my shoulders.
"Alright it's time to go," Corey said while clapping her hands.
"No drinking, No fighting unless necessary, and look after each other," Dimitri said. He's only been here two days and he's already taking control. I like that he's cool with me.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah, we know. Love you guys see you later," Corey said as she pulled Moriah and me out the door with her.
(At the Party)
I was sipping on some pop while Moriah was trying to talk to Ashley. She is a nice girl and I can tell by her aura that she likes Moriah she's just playing harder to get. I think it's because of Moriah reputation as a player. Though it looked like I was talking to them I kept my eyes on Corey the whole time. She was dirty dancing with Michael Badica in the corner of the room. I was trying so hard the keep my emotions in check but I was seriously thinking about beating the crap out of the dude. His hands were on her exposed thighs pulling her closer as she moved her hips to the beat. I watched as he leaned down and began kissing her neck slowly.
"Dude you all right?" Moriah asked me. I looked at him with my fists clenched and my breathing labored.
"Im going to kill Michael Badica," I said in a low growl. Moriah and Ashley looked past me and saw what I had been staring at.
"I knew it you like her more than a friend, don't you?" Ashley asked me.
"Like? More like he's been in love with her forever," Moriah said scoffing at Ashley's question.
"Why don't you tell her then?" Ashley asked. Before I had a chance to answer her Jessica came up and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Hey Eli, Im glad you came," she purred in my ear. Over her shoulder I saw Corey staring us down. I know that it is wrong trying to make someone else jealous but love makes you do crazy things. So I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into me. She gasped clearly surprised by my actions but after a moment she relaxed against me. I glanced at Moriah and Ashley and they were giving me a 'WTF' look. Then their expressions changed to nervous as they look where Corey and Michael were. I looked that way too to see Corey walking over to us and she looked pissed.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked when she go to us. I immediately unraveled my hands from Jessica's waist and stepped away. I was about to speak but Jessica beat me too it.
"What does it look like slut. Now if you don't mind Eli and I were talking," she said to Corey.
"How many times do I have to tell you? He doesn't want you!" Corey said her voice full of anger toward Jessica but there was also hurt mixed in.
"He wasn't saying that two seconds ago when his hands were all over me," she said with a smirk. I saw it coming before it happened but I was still too late to stop it. Corey cocked back and punched Jessica right in the nose. Before she could hit Jessica again I grabbed her and pulled her out of the room followed by Moriah and Ashley.
"What the hell Corey you we weren't supposed to fight unless it was necessary," I asked her. My voice was kind of raised but it didn't matter everyone who lived on this floor was at the party.
"It was necessary," she mumbled as she headed toward the stairs leading to the commons.
"Will you please shed some light on us because I really don't think you needed to punch her," I replied back to her.
"Why are you defending her? Do you actually like her?" Corey asked me while yelling. Moriah and Ashley just stood there while we both vented.
"Of course I don't like her. But you were dancing with Michael and you don't see me trying to start a fight with him," I stated.
"That's it then, huh? You were dancing with Jessica because I was dancing with Michael. Your jealous," she said. She was still angry and yelling at me.
"There is no way in hell that Im jealous of Michael. Im just doing what your dad told me to do," I yelled back at her offended. I said walking up to her.
"Oh bullshit Eli. I saw you watching us. You were pissed and I didn't even need the bond to tell me that," she said slightly smirking. That just made me even madder but it also brought up something else we needed to talk about.
"Speaking of bond, why in the hell have you been blocking me all day?" I asked her.
"You blocked me first," was her only response.
"So what is this first grade all over again. I do something to you so you have to do something back. How childish can you be Corey?" I asked her.
"I am not childish," she said slowly I was starting to feel her emotions the more angrily she was. She was hurting badly by something but I couldn't tell what.
"You were dancing with Michael to make me jealous," I stated. She stepped even closer to me. Now she was within reaching distance.
"But you danced with Jessica knowing how much I hate her. But then again you do love her," she said. Did she not get that I was in love with her? I thought I made it clear when I kissed her. I was so mad I pushed her against the wall not enough to hurt her of course but I just needed her to understand. Before she could push me off I crashed my lips against hers. She was shocked at first but it was on a brief second before she started kissing me back. I pressed my body against hers more and deepened the kiss even more. My hands started to roam her delicate body as I slid my tongue into her hot mouth. As our tongues were battling for dominance my hands made there way down to her thighs and lifted her off the ground. She wrapped her legs around my waist and pulled me into her. I pulled away our lips still touching slightly.
"I don't love her. I have been in love with you for as long as I can remember," I mumble against her lips.
"I love you too," she replied after she processed what I said.
"Aww I love you guys too," Moriah's voice said. We both look in his direction glaring at him.
"What I had to stop you from ripping her dress off," he said.
"Gosh Moriah, you ruined the moment," Ashley said while smacking him on the arm. In return he just smiled at her, his aura shinning brightly as he did.
"So I think we should like make it official," I said to her. She nodded in agreement. I slowly got down to one knee. Corey's eyes widened in shock and I heard Moriah and Ashley gasp.
"Corey, you mean everything to me. Every morning I wake up anxious to see your face and every night I go to bed hoping to dream about you. I will do anything to protect you. If I had to choose between breathing and loving you I'd use my last breath to say 'I love you'. I will never hurt you and you know that. You've always been there for me. And Im always going to be there for you. So Corrinthea Jeanine Hathaway, will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" I asked her. She was in tears so she couldn't really talk so she just nodded her head. I stood up and she jumped into my arms.
"That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me," she said as I wiped her tears. We pulled away from the hug and Ashley ran up to Corey and the two hugged. Moriah walked up to me shaking his head.
"What?" I asked him confused. I thought he would be happy that we were finally together. I know I was.
"Dude, you said all just to ask her out. Now what are you going to say when you propose?" he asked me. Then we both laughed.
" Now that that is over we get to the hard part... how do we tell our parents?" Corey asked.
