Hey everyone! I'm back! Hopefully all my stories will be updated by tomorrow! I will try to update Sunday, but it's my birthday, so who knows. Anyway, on with the story:

Clare's POV:

Last night was intense, but it was really special. Eli told me more about the aftermath of Julia. I can't say I love hearing about her, but she was a part of Eli's; life, and I needed to hear it.

But on the plus side, we got tattoos! I'm sure my mom is going to kill me, but I am NOT getting it removed, I love it. Eli loved his too. But they really hurt. Apparently, they will be soar for a few days, and we have to wear the stupid tape. This should make sex interesting. But we probably won't have it considering it could hurt if we hit the tattoos.

"Babe?" Eli whispers. We are currently sleeping on his couch. I'm not sure how we ended up here; I think we stumbled onto the first thing we could find to sleep on.

"What is it Eli?" I ask, pulling the blanket up to my chin.

He smiles sleepily, "Do I have you all to myself today, or do I have to share you?"

I giggle, "Well I told Fiona we would come over and help her decorate…."

Eli groans, "Uhhh alright. As long as your mine tonight?"

I giggle, "Well of course."

Eli smirks, "Then let's get this over with Edwards."

Later on, we are at Fiona's condo. Fiona and I are decorating the tree, and Adam and Eli are playing some stupid video game, "Will you guys get up and help us out?" Fiona demands.

"One sec princess," Adam says, not looking up.

"Eliiiiii, if you want anything from me tonight, get your ass up and help us." I say. Fiona giggles as Eli and Adam look stunned.

Eli hops up, "Twist my rubber arm."

I giggle, "Girlfriend?"

Eli smiles as he grabs an ornament, "Always."

"Adam could you go get us some bubbly?" Fiona asks as she places on the last ornament.

Adam nods, "Be back in a sec."

We all step back and look at the tree, "It looks great." I say.

Eli nods, "It is pretty sick."

Fiona slaps his arm, "It is not 'sick' it's beautiful."

Eli chuckles, "Well excuse me."

Adam comes back with four glasses and a bottle of Champaign. We all pour a glass and take a seat, "So Clare plans on joining us next year." Eli says casually.

Adam smiles, "Are you serious! Booyah!"

I smile, "Well I don't know if I got in yet. Hopefully I will find out before you guys leave."

Fiona's face drops, "What's wrong Fi?" Eli asks.

She sighs and sips her drink, "Well all you guys are off to college. What am I going to do next year?"

Adam grins, "Come with us, duh! I need a new roommate, cause I don't think Eli will pick me over Clare. And you love New York."

She smiles, "Should I really?"

Adam nods eagerly, "Please?"

Fiona smiles, "Alright. But only if Clare gets in."

I shoot her a glare, "No pressure."

Fiona giggles, "Clare I'm not going to abandoned you. If you stay, I stay."

I hug her, "Thanks Fi."

Eli stands up and pulls me with him, "So we should get going. But we will see you guys for Christmas Eve?"

Adam nods, "See you then."

Eli smiles back, "Let's go baby."

Eli starts kissing me as we enter his house. I start pulling off his jacket as he lifts my thighs to wrap around his waist, "Mmmmm Clare."

I pull off his mouth, "Eli where are your parents?" I ask as I suck on his neck.

Eli gropes my butt as we walk upstairs, "Out on a date."

I smiles and unbutton his shirt as Eli kicks his door shut, "Then it's perfect."

He kisses me, "With you it always is."
