Chapter 29: We Live Together Now

(2 months later)

Clare's POV

I giggled as my amazing boyfriend carried me to our room. Yup I said it OUR room. Not my room. Not his room. Not my house. Not his house.

Our own little apartment. I know we're still so young, but we love and care enough about each other to do this.

Since my mom and Glen have decided to stay out of my presence, my mom has oddly agreed to help pay rent. Eli's dad is paying utilities.

Bullfrog at first wasn't thrilled at the idea either, but since Eli has been getting so much better, and taking his medication he decided it would be ok. We just have to be careful.

"This place is amazing Eli." I played with the hair on the back of his neck, as he sat down on our new leather couch.

Eli nuzzled his face in my neck. "No this place is nice, you are amazing." He placed a kiss on my neck.

I tried to move his face off of my neck. "Ok pig, that's enough."

I could feel his smirk into my skin.

"Eli, we both promised our parents that we wouldn't be getting intimate." I pinched the skin of his neck, causing him to remove his lips fro my neck.

Eli frowned giving me a pout look on his face. "I can't even admire your beautiful neck?"

I smirked at him.

Eli shifted me so that I was facing our beautiful new living room. We were finally fully moved in and that included our new furniture. Eli wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and hugged me from behind, rocking us both slightly. "I must be the luckiest guy ever."

"Really why is that?" I rested my head back on his shoulder and our cheeks touched.

"Well, as you know I got accepted to Toronto U just recently, I got a great job working at the Dot, I have my health, supportive parents, I got my life back on track." He paused then faced me, and placed a kiss on my cheek. "I have the most." He stopped and gently lied me down on the couch hovering over me and tucking my curls back behind my ears. He smiled and leaned down to kiss my temple. "Beautiful." Kiss. "Smart." Kiss. "Strong." Kiss. "Loyal." Kiss. "Sexy." Kiss. By this time his lips were right back on my neck, and his thumbs were caressing my hips underneath my sweatpants.

I moaned and wrapped my arms around his back as he kissed my neck.

He finally rose up from my skin and smiled back up at me. "Well I think you get what I'm saying. I'm lucky and happy to have you here with me, and I know us living together will be good for us both even individually."

I sat up as he did the same, and took his hand in mine lacing our fingers. "It's a big commitment we are making."

"Are you scared?"

"Just a little."

Eli tilted my chin up with his free hand, cupping my cheek. "What are you afraid of?"

"It's a big commitment, and I just don't want us to get so tired of each other, that one of us calls it quits, and moves out." I sighed. I really am afraid we could grow apart and that shit could happen.

"It's ok to be scared. I am too a little bit." He smiled small.

I smiled a little. "And I really just want to be there for you. What if you have some sort of outburst?"

"I can't promise you it will never happen, but I will promise you that I will take my medication as indicated, and I will for sure do my best to not let it happen." He reassured. "Just remember, I love you and if that ever happens, I don't intentionally mean it." He placed a kiss on my hand. "Also remember the other thing I said?"

I scooted closer to him and laid my head onto his lap. "What's that?"

"I told you that if we ever were to live together, that I would take good care of you." He gently removed my head from his lap but kept our hands entwined as I got up off of the couch to follow him into our new room.

Once we got into our room we faced each other, and we both started undressing each other.

"The thought of you taking good care of me, that's just about the sappiest little thing ever." I stuck my tongue out, as I was unbuttoning his shirt and dis guarding it.

Eli tugged my pants down, and I stepped out of them. "You think that's sappy?" He gave me his signature smirk.

I giggled and nodded. I placed my hands over his black wife beater that was covering his chest, as he was un clasping my bra.

Eli unclasped the bra and threw it to the floor with our clothes, leaving me in my boy shorts and him in his boxers and black wife beater.

"Eli?" I asked seductively, rubbing my hands down his chest to his hips.

Eli groaned as I did that, and shut his eyes, as he was also cupping my butt. "Hmm?"

I giggled and grabbed his cock through his boxers, giving it a quick squeeze as I said, "Go get your PJ's on." I let go of his cock and raced into the bathroom locking the door.

Eli's eyes widened. "No No No No you can't just do that to me Edwards." He ran to the door pounding me to open. I was brushing my teeth and grabbed my long sleeve back shirt and plaid black, white and green pj shorts. I can't believe he managed to get me out of my bra in only in my underwear. I guess that little cock twist serves him right!

I finished brushing my teeth and was all set in my PJ's. I was all set for a possible "Tickle Monster" to come at me and attack me for teasing him like that. I exited the bathroom and to my surprise I found Eli, in a regular black t-shirt, and his regular plaid pajama pants just sitting on the bed with a smirk on his face.

I smiled and headed for the bed, just getting under the covers and snuggling into the nice bed, in OUR new room.

Eli moved over to his side of the bed and got under the covers, pulling me into his chest. "Our place." He said as he rubbed my stomach under my shirt.

I sighed of bliss as he did this. "And it's our room. Our bed. No more Jake and Jenna to interrupt."

Eli pulled me tighter to him. "Too bad. I'm going to miss those lovely sounds Jenna makes. Including the puking in the bathroom, and her heavy cries."

I looked at him and arched an eyebrow with a smirk on my lips.

Eli chuckled. "But I love your little noises way better." He nuzzled his nose into my neck inhaling my scent.

"Eli?"

Eli removed his face from my neck, connecting my his eyes with mine. "Yeah?"

"Could we tomorrow maybe make love?" I asked quietly looking away.

Eli moved my face so he could look at me. "Of course." He smiled and placed a kiss on my lips. "But why are you so afraid to ask?"

"I guess it's just been awhile since we last made love." I placed my hand on his chest and got myself comfortable and he rubbed my back and kept talking.

"Don't be afraid to talk to me Clare, and don't ever feel embarrassed to talk about intimacy." He winked and kept rubbing my back.

The truth be told. I may no longer be a virgin, but no matter how many times we have done it (a/n: 4 to be exact!) I still get this nervous feeling inside of me, and maybe if me and Eli sit and talk more about sex, then I won't get that anymore.

Eli kissed my ear. "I love you Clare." He whispered into my ear, giving me goose bumps all over my body.

I smiled and cuddled more into his chest. "I so far love our first night in our first place." I kissed his chest and closed my eyes, falling asleep into his beautiful arms, as he held me the whole night. In our room, in our bed, at our place.
