Grace and Sandy were in Grace's room listening to some music. The music
that was on was Creed's "My Sacrifice."
"Oh! I love this song!" Sandy said when it came on. She started singing with the song.
"Hello my friend we meet again, it's been a awhile, where should be begin…"
Halfway through the song Sandy stops and looks at Grace. She smiles and says "So you and Eli, huh?"
"Yeah, I still can't believe it either."
"What are you going to do? Are you going to tell your parents?"
"I don't know. What would we tell them? Mom, I'm in love with Eli and nothing you say or do is going to change that. No! I can't do that. They would freak. Then think about my father! He would kill Eli!"
"I guess you're right."
"Of course I'm right."
"So let me ask you something. Now answer this truthfully… Is Eli a good kisser?"
"Sandy! I can't believe you asked me that! Ok Fine! Yeah, he's a great kisser. The best probably."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
From outside the door they hear Jessie scream, "Grace, Sandy dinner's ready."
"Ok, look when we get down there don't make it obvious that something is going on between me and Eli."
"Yeah, sure."

Dinner Time
"So Sandy, how's school?" Lily asked her daughter's friend.
"Oh, it's okay. I'm having a little trouble understanding things in my math class, but other than that, everything's going good."
"That's really great."
Sandy was looking around the table. She stopped when she saw Eli. He was looking at Grace and he had this weird look on his face. It was like a small smile.
~ Wow! It's really cute how he looks at her like that. He must really love her.
Then she kicked him.
"Ugh! What the…" Eli screamed when she kicked him.
"I'm sorry Eli, I just got startled by something. I hope I didn't hurt you." Sandy apologized, kind of gesturing towards Grace.
He realized what she meant and said, "No, I'm fine."
The rest of the dinner was pretty quiet. They talked about school and work. Eli tried really hard not to look at Grace anymore.
After dinner everyone went their separate ways. Sandy went home soon after dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9:45 p.m.
Grace walks into the kitchen to get something to drink. The house was quiet for some odd reason. The kitchen is dark so she doesn't see him sitting there. He sees her walk in, get a cup and pour orange juice in the cup.
"Grace?" He said softly so as to not make any noise.
Grace's heart almost stopped. She turned and calmed down when she saw it was Eli.
"Eli, you scared me." She said as she walked to the table and sat down.
"Sorry."
"What are you doing in here?" She asked.
"I needed a snack." He said, pointing to the sandwich on his plate.
"Oh."
"You looked beautiful today." He said smiling at her.
"Oh." She said unable to move or look at him.
~ He always makes me clam up. Everything he says makes me want to go up to him and kiss him. Why did I say "Oh." I need to say something clever.
"Thanks Eli, that's really sweet of you."
~ Yeah. This isn't going to work for me.
"Grace do I make you nervous?"
~ Oh God what am I going to do? He knows me so well.
"No." She said quickly
He reached for her and brought her to his lap.
"I love you Grace. I shouldn't make you nervous."
"I love you too, Eli." She said, her voice almost in a whisper.
They both moved closer until they kissed. It was slow at first. Eli could taste the lip gloss on her lips. He reached to touch her face. She put her hand over his. They were like this for a couple of minutes. Then Grace stopped it spontaneously.
"Eli, what are we going to do about our parents?"
"Grace lets not think about that right now." He said, going for her lips again.
She stopped him and he looked at her. She had tears creeping in her eyes.
~ This is really getting to her. It should be getting to me too. I always do that. I don't think about the consequences it could have. Not this time, though. I'm going to protect her.
"We're going to get through this. Trust me." He said reassuring her.
Then he kissed her cheeks and finally he kissed her lips softly.
"Now I think you have to go to bed." He said.
She got off his lap and said, "I'll see you tomorrow. Good night, Eli."
"Good night Grace."
