HELLO. How long has it been, over a year yes? So sorry! After I posted that last chapter, I lost my mojo and couldn't really get it back until recently. I've been reading some other fanfics which kinda interested me to get back to it. And last year was a big one for me. I went to vegas and partied down there with my friend for her birthday. But it ended really bumpy for my family. Aca-awkward. And school too… being a junior is busy times, so much work these days. Degrassi was kinda a distraction for me as well c: But im back and excited to continue this story for you guys. I thought about just dropping it completely, but I felt I could push on with it. Well, I've missed you guys. Enjoy my friends. :)
Disclaimer: I own a buzz-lightyear, but not Degrassi
We were all walking towards the fair. Adam was holding fiona's hand, and Eli was holding mine. We were walking on the road when we began smelling the smell of carnival food coming up the road. We practically sniffed are way there. With the hot Hawaii sun beating down on us, we eventually made it. Since it was still early, there weren't that much people there. I looked at everything that was there. It looked a lot like a normal carnival, but it had tons of Hawaii touches. Pigs were roasting, coconuts were being eaten and drinkin, and people were doing the hula. I smiled when I saw the hula dancers, because it reminded me of timon in The Lion King.
"Why don't we eat lunch, then we can explore." Fiona said interrupting my thoughts.
"Question is, where are we gonna eat? Too many choices.." I stated.
"Hm. Well if we take a little walk down here, there's a good place to eat." Fiona replied.
"Sounds good then." Adam said. We followed Fiona who gracefully showed us the way. Hand in hand, Eli began a conversation.
"So, what are you planning to do on your birthday clare-bear?" he asked curious. I thought about it, and then answered him honestly.
"Well, I don't know, just hoping to hang with you." A smile soon came over him.
"No huge birthday bash or anything?" he replied.
"Im not the one for the huge parties.. Isn't that fiona's forte?"
"Oh yeah, but you gotta do something for your birthday, four days and counting right?"
"Hah. Yes." I paused the convo to look around. I think I see the restaurant. I could smell the fabulous scent of delicious food being sucked into my nose.
"In that case, I guess I have to get you something for the special occasion." Eli said.
"What! I don't need anything…honestly." I replied looking into his gorgeous eyes.
"That is unacceptable!" He yelled jokingly making Fiona and Adam look back. "I must treat my beautiful girlfriend on her special day." I only smiled at him until Fiona cut in.
"Well we're here! Hurry, let's go in before I die of this amazing smell." Fiona exclaimed.
"I hear you girlfriend!" Adam joined. We all walked in and was mesmerized the amazing scent that filled our noses; Spices, flowers, exotic tropical foods oh my! 'Yum' was all I could process. Fiona had connections there as well, so we got seats. Geeze this girl with her connections, im pretty sure she had the connection to Obama as well. Anyway we ate, enjoyed each other's company, paid, then left back to the festivities. It got a little busier and we approached the entranced. There was so many things going on at the same time, it was hard to stop and stare at one.
"Well, It's past 2, how about we split up to explore." Fiona suggested. We nodded in agreement and Eli took my hand. Adam took Fiona's and headed off some direction.
"Where does your heart desire to go?" Eli asked with a smile on his adorable face. I looked around and saw so many things. Carnival booths, a carousal, stuffed things everywhere, a fortune teller tent, a Ferris wheel, and a hula show. I thought about it before turning back to him.
"Over here." I simply answered. Before we knew it, we were standing in front of these carnival booth games.
"Does Clarebear desire a stuffed prize?" He asked.
"How'd you guess." I answered giving him a kiss which sent shivers down my spine. He began throwing coconuts at these bottles trying to knock them down. He looked so manly doing it, I couldn't stop myself from staring at his muscles moving as his arms were flinging through the air. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing. I looked at it seeing my moms name.
"Hi mom." I said into the phone.
"Hi sweetie, how's Hawaii?" she asked.
"Oh its great here mom, it's so nice and warm. I love it."
"That's great clare. I was just calling to let you know, they released us early because they thought we were doing great."
"That's awesome mom! How's dad?" I asked happily.
"I guess he's doing alright. He talks to me more now, which is one of the reasons they sent us home. They want us to communicate on our own and they feel like we don't need their help. Which is odd, but good with me, im just glad to be back." She finished puzzled.
"Okay." I said.
"Well I don't want to keep you away from your friends. So I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Alright, bye mom." I said before I hung up. I put my phone back in my purse and turned back to Eli. He just threw his last coconut, knocking everything down. I laughed at him, and the guy gave him a stuffed monkey wearing a lei. He handed it to me with a smile.
"My lady."
"Why thank you. It's so cute!" I said taking it.
"Not as cute as me though right?" he asked a little quietly.
"Sorry, the monkey… is cuter Eli." A pout came upon his face. He grabbed the monkey and started marching back towards the booth.
"We're exchanging it then." I laughed before I tugged his arm back.
"No noo Nooo!" I yelled pulling him closer to me. I took the monkey out of his grip and snuggled it, and gave it a reassuring kiss. Eli was watching with a smile feeling beaten down, by a monkey.
"You take that back Edwards." He demanded with a smirk on his face.
"Or what?" I asked challenging him. He stared into my eyes for a second before he attacked me with a bear hug. He tried to steal my monkey but I would not allow that. I smacked his arm and gave him a kiss. What a child, I thought, as I laughed trying to break free.
"Okay okay. You way cuter than monkey here." I said. A kiddy smile was on his face as he released me.
"Aw. Your so sweet." He said planting one on me. It was short, but sweet. We proceeded to walking around, enjoying the company of the local islanders.
"Alright Eli, It's your turn to decide what we do next." I said. He thought about it, then turned back to me.
"I don't care Edwards, as long as im in the company of your lovely self, Im good anywhere we go." I stared into his eyes. I still can't believe this godly looking teen was my boyfriend. I studied his facial expressions, simply admiring him. His jaw was carved by angels. Almost getting mesmerized by his features, again, I quickly regained myself. It started to get a little more crowded as the clock was nearing the 3:30 mark. Swarms of people began coming in and enjoying their day with their families. Little girls racing towards the Ferris wheel, grown men making their way to the pigs roasting or the hula dancing. I stood there observing, while I could feel Eli's eyes observing my own. I just thought about the shopping I had to do. I had to buy souvenirs and gifts for my parents and Ali, so I looked at my surroundings and saw some cute little Hawaiian stores that looked great to do the shopping.
"Lets go shopping!" I yelled, and Eli just stared at me.
"Uhm.." I gazed up at him with puppy dog eyes hoping he would give in and take me shopping. He grabbed my face gracefully and examined me. Our faces inches apart, I felt his breath upon my lips when..
"How could I resist, blue eyes? Come on, lets go then." He said as he released my face and grabbed my waist pulling me closer to his body. A little blush crept to my face as we pushed are way through the crowded area. We made it to the cute little stores and made our way in. These stores may look tiny on the outside, but boy were they so much bigger. This store had beautiful Hawaiian dresses, leis, souvenirs, and gorgeous flowers everywhere. They had flower hair clips, flower necklaces, flower bracelets, flower everything. Eli released me so I could get lost in this store, and all the flowers inside. I began looking around. I somehow found myself looking through the dresses the most. I found quite a lot of dresses I liked, so I grabbed a few I wanted to try on.
"Im gonna try these on eli okay?" I asked. He agreed with his sexy smirk and we made our way to the fitting areas. I tried on the first on and it hugged me great. It was a light pink dress, which ended around my knees. It had faint flower patterns on it, which looked marvelous with the pink. I came out of the room to see Eli sitting in a chair and looking up at me.
"Well don't you look beautiful in that." He stated. I did a little twirl in it, feeling pretty, and walked over to him.
"I like it, very much." Eli said trying to pull me in. I resisted his touch and twirled away from him.
"Don't get too excited that was only the first one." I smiled made my way to my cubical and closed the curtain. I slipped off the dress and tried the next one. Dress after dress, I gave Eli a fashion show. I asked him after each one which one he liked best; of course he said every single one was divinely beautiful, he was no help at all. This would be a great time for Alli to be here. Eventually, I was down to my last dress. I personally loved this one, but was unsure of it. I put it on, and poked my head from the curtain.
"Last one Eli." I said.
"I can't wait to see it." he replied. I opened the curtain and revealed the light blue dress with little floral patterns that elegantly flowed throughout the dress. It went to about the length of my mid thigh and had cute tank top like straps, it hugged my waist and was a little flowy under it.
"It's too short isn't it?" I asked a little shy. This is probably the shortest dress I've ever worn, I felt a little uncomfortable about it, but the more I wore it I loved it. I looked at Eli for a reply but he seemed to be lost in thought. "Helloo?.." I said waving my hand in his face.
"Favorite." He said pulling me on him. He kissed me as his hands reached for my face pulling me in closer. I was getting lost in thought as he played with my curls. I remembered we were still inside a store and jumped off of him. He was surprised and confused a bit as I smirked at him.
"Lets go back to the carnival, Mr. Monkey wants a buddy." I said as I pulled him up out of the couch.
"Anything you say m'lady." We paid for the dress and made our way out of the store. I can buy something for Alli another time, Eli smiled at me and I reached for his hand. We made our way to the stuffed animals, and I became lost in thought; I am in paradise, and nothing can go wrong.
